When removing the reflection we inadvertely also removed the code for
handling empty salt values in NSEC3 and NSEC3PARAM. These are somewhat
annoying because the text representation is '-', which is not valid hex.
Update the size-xxx-member tags to point to another field in the struct
that should be used for the length in that field. Fix NSEC3/HIP and TSIG
to use to this and generate the correct pack/unpack functions for them.
Remove IPSECKEY from the lib and handle it as an unknown record - it is
such a horrible RR, needed kludges before - now just handle it as an
unknown RR.
All types now use generated pack and unpack functions. The blacklist is
removed.
Make the reflection types a black list (these types use (or should use)
the tag 'size-xxx' in their struct definition.s
HIP, IPSECKEY, NSEC3, TSIG
All other types don't use reflection anymore.
* Return a pointer to the header when there is no rdata, this restores old
behavior. The rest of the conversion mostly hangs on getting size-hex
right, but then packStruct and packStructValue and the unpack variant
can be killed.
* Generate pack and unpack for all embedded types as well.
* Fix PrivateRRs, register an unpack function as well, when you register
a new PrivateRR.
* Add the tag octet, nsec, []domains and more to msg_helper.go
Add dns:txt parsing helper to prevent compile errors. This allows
us to generate all unpack/pack function.
Add pack to the RR interface definition and add this method to
PrivateRR.
We still use typeToUnpack to select which types don't use reflection.
Remove the use of reflection when packing and unpacking, instead
generate all the pack and unpack functions using msg_generate.
This will generate zmsg.go which in turn calls the helper functions from
msg_helper.go.
This increases the speed by about ~30% while cutting back on memory
usage. Not all RRs are using it, but that will be rectified in upcoming
PR.
Most of the speed increase is in the header/question section parsing.
These functions *are* not generated, but straight forward enough. The
implementation can be found in msg.go.
The new code has been fuzzed by go-fuzz, which turned up some issues.
All files that started with 'z', and not autogenerated were renamed,
i.e. zscan.go is now scan.go.
Reflection is still used, in subsequent PRs it will be removed entirely.
