Add two implementations of getaddrinfo: one blocking and one nonblocking. The entry points are evutil_getaddrinfo and evdns_getaddrinfo respectively. There are fairly extensive unit tests. I believe this code conforms to RFC3493 pretty closely, but there are probably more issues. It should get tested on more platforms. This code means we can dump the well-intentioned but weirdly-implemented bufferevent_evdns and evutil_resolve code. svn:r1537
To build libevent, type
$ ./configure && make
(If you got libevent from the subversion repository, you will
first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to
generate the configure script.)
Install as root via
# make install
You can run the regression tests by
$ make verify
Before, reporting any problems, please run the regression tests.
To enable the low-level tracing build the library as:
CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...]
