Add a new ares_library_init_mem() initialization function for the
library which allows the library user to specify their own malloc,
realloc & free equivalents for use library-wide.
Store these function pointers in library-wide global variables,
defaulting to libc's malloc(), realloc() and free().
Change all calls to malloc, realloc and free to use the function pointer
instead. Also ensure that ares_strdup() is always available
(even if the local environment includes strdup(3)), and change the
library code to always use it.
Convert calls to calloc() to use ares_malloc() + memset
Add comments for the benefit of the lcov tool, marking
lines that cannot be hit. Typically these are fall-back
protection arms that are already covered by earlier checks,
and so it's not worth taking out the unhittable code (in case
someone changes the code between the two places in future).
Make sure that the symbols are always exported and present in c-ares.
Make the headers prefixed with 'ares'.
Removed the inet_ntop.h version as it no longer features any content.
check for ssize_t to make it possible to use that when receiving the send()
error code. This is necessary to prevent compiler warnings on some systems.
- Made configure create config.h, and all source files now include setup.h that
might include the proper config.h (or a handicrafted alternative).
- Switched to 'ares_socket_t' type for sockets in ares, since Windows don't
use 'int' for that.
- automake-ified and libool-ified c-ares. Now it builds libcares as a shared
lib on most platforms if wanted. (This bloated the size of the release
archive with another 200K!)
- Makefile.am now uses Makefile.inc for the c sources, h headers and man
pages, to make it easier for other makefiles to use the exact same set of
files.
- Adjusted 'maketgz' to use the new automake magic when building distribution
archives.
