Hi all,
Following up on the work I've being doing to add support for DNS queries
over TCP to netdb and to add support for querying all of the standard
resource types such as MX, SOA, TXT, NS, etc, I've added the proposed changes
to a note in the Bugtracker:
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=37906#c127368
This isn't yet in patch form. I've just created a copy of netdb.pp and
renamed it to newnetdb.pp. I'm posting about it now to get some feedback on
it.
In general it looks good. 2 remarks:
I did see you removed the comments about byte order, I don't think that's a
good idea, these comments have their use :-)
Which comments are you referring to? See my comments below about using 3.2.0.
The second point is that you removed the USE_LIBC define.
The netdb unit works only with USE_LIBC on Android.
I made a typo, it should be FPC_USE_LIBC
I've gone back and done a diff with the original netdb.pp and I'm not seeing
any mention of libc. I based my version on the one that shipped with 3.2.0,
not trunk. 3.2.0 has these defines:
{$DEFINE ETC_BY_ENV}
{$DEFINE SFN_VERSION}
{$DEFINE ETC_BY_ENV}
{$DEFINE SFN_VERSION}
{$DEFINE ETC_BY_ENV}
{$DEFINE SFN_VERSION}
{$DEFINE UNIX_ETC}
See below.
All of these are in the new version as well. Perhaps I need to redo the
changes against trunk to avoid confusion.
Yes, please.
Line 55 contains:
{$if defined(android)}
{$define FPC_USE_LIBC}
{$endif}
Michael.
