musl/src/network/ns_parse.c, branch v1.2.6 musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems fix negated return value of ns_skiprr, breakage in related functions 2015-07-08T02:46:45+00:00 Rich Felker dalias@aerifal.cx 2015-07-08T02:46:45+00:00 e8cbe0bad4284906230a53af4c91ad2b9713d03b due to a reversed pointer difference computation, ns_skiprr always returned a negative value, which functions using it would interpret as an error. patch by Yu Lu.

add basic dns record parsing functions 2014-12-17T19:40:35+00:00 Rich Felker dalias@aerifal.cx 2014-12-17T19:40:35+00:00 aac59c116456f8ce617d5b218e7ee4f044f56e6c based on patch by Timo Teräs, with some corrections to bounds checking code and other minor changes. while they are borderline scope creep, the functions added are fairly small and are roughly the minimum code needed to use the results of the res_query API without re-implementing error-prone DNS packet parsing, and they are used in practice by some kerberos related software and possibly other things. at this time there is no intent to implement further nameser.h API functions.
