Use ACCESS_RTE to guard **f_rte, use ACCESS_EATTRS to guard **f_eattrs.
Use f_rta_cow() before writing to rta or eattrs, use f_rte_cow() before
writing preference (stored in rte).
Do not access eattrs indirectly through (*f_rte)->attrs->eattrs, it is
way too slow. The cached pointer is faster.
This is a fundamental change of an original (1999) concept of route
processing inside BIRD. During import/export, there was a temporary
ea_list created which was to be used instead of the another one inside
the route itself.
This led to some confusion, quirks, and strange filter code that handled
extended route attributes. Dropping it now.
The protocol interface has changed in an uniform way -- the
`struct ea_list *attrs` argument has been removed from store_tmp_attrs(),
import_control(), rt_notify() and get_route_info().
The bgpmask literals can include expressions. This is OK but they have
to be interpreted as soon as the code is run, not in the time the code
is used as value.
This led to strange behavior like rewriting bgpmasks when they shan't
be rewritten:
function mask_generator(int as)
{
return [= * as * =];
}
function another()
bgpmask m1;
bgpmask m2;
{
m1 = mask_generator(10);
m2 = mask_generator(20);
if (m1 == m2) {
print("strange"); # this would happen
}
}
Moreover, sending this to CLI would cause stack overflow and knock down the
whole BIRD, as soon as there is at least one route to execute the given
filter on.
show route filter bgpmask mmm; bgppath ppp; { ppp = +empty+; mmm = [= (ppp ~ mmm) =]; print(mmm); accept; }
The magic match operator (~) inside the bgpmask literal would try to
resolve mmm, which points to the same bgpmask so it would resolve
itself, call the magic match operator and vice versa.
After this patch, the bgpmask literal will get resolved as soon as it's
assigned to mmm and it also will return a type error as bool is not
convertible to ASN in BIRD.
This instruction was removed in the commit linked below
and never used ever again. Rest in peace.

It was supposed to do tail-recursion in interpret() but it didn't
compile as such. Converting it to loop makes a significant filter
performance improvement for flat filters.
The two-letter instructions were quite messy but they could be easily
read from memory dumps. Now GDB (since 2012) supports pretty printing
enum values and GCC checks the switch construction for missing enum
values so we are converting the nice two-byte values to enums.
Anyway, the enum still keeps the old two-byte values to be able to read
the instruction codes even without GDB from plain memory dump.
A filter should log messages only if executed explicitly (e.g., during
route export or route import). When a filter is executed for technical
reasons (e.g., to establish whether a route was exported before), it
should run silently.
The patch implements Default Router Preferences and More-Specific Routes
(RFC 4191) for RAdv protocol, allowing to announce router preference and
more specific routes in router advertisements. Routes can be exported to
RAdv like to regular routing protocols.
Some cleanups, bugfixes and other changes done by Ondrej Zajicek.
Dropped struct mpnh and mpnh_*()
Now struct nexthop exists, nexthop_*(), and also included struct nexthop
into struct rta.
Also converted RTD_DEVICE and RTD_ROUTER to RTD_UNICAST. If it is needed
to distinguish between these two cases, RTD_DEVICE is equivalent to
IPA_ZERO(a->nh.gw), RTD_ROUTER is then IPA_NONZERO(a->nh.gw).
From now on, we also explicitely want C99 compatible compiler. We assume
that this 20-year norm should be known almost everywhere.
- Unit Testing Framework (BirdTest)
- Integration of BirdTest into the BIRD build system
- Tests for several BIRD modules
Based on squashed Pavel Tvrdik's int-test branch, updated for
current int-new branch.
We set buffer->pos to buffer->end in function buffer_print() when
bvsnprintf() failed, so there would be uninitialized memory between
the old buffer->pos and the current buffer->pos.
Add support for large communities (draft-ietf-idr-large-community),
96bit alternative to RFC 1997 communities.
Thanks to Matt Griswold for the original patch.
Also removed the lib-dir merging with sysdep. Updated #include's
accordingly.
Fixed make doc on recent Debian together with moving generated doc into
objdir.
Moved Makefile.in into root dir
Retired all.o and birdlib.a
Linking the final binaries directly from all the .o files.
