2021-11-22Converting the former BFD loop to a universal IO loop and protocol loop.Maria Matejka
There is a simple universal IO loop, taking care of events, timers and sockets. Primarily, one instance of a protocol should use exactly one IO loop to do all its work, as is now done in BFD. Contrary to previous versions, the loop is now launched and cleaned by the nest/proto.c code, allowing for a protocol to just request its own loop by setting the loop's lock order in config higher than the_bird. It is not supported nor checked if any protocol changed the requested lock order in reconfigure. No protocol should do it at all.
2021-11-22Unified time for whole BIRDMaria Matejka
In previous versions, every thread used its own time structures, effectively leading to different time in every thread and strange logging messages. The time processing code now uses global atomic variables to keep current time available for fast concurrent reading and safe updates.

2021-04-12Lib: Fix handling of buffers in timestamp formattingOndrej Zajicek (work)
The code in tm_format_real_time() mixed up two buffers and their sizes, which may cause crash in MRT dumping code. Thanks to Piotr Wydrych for the bugreport.

2020-04-09Configuration strings are constant.Maria Matejka
This is merely a const propagation. There was no problem in there.
2018-11-20The MRT protocolOndrej Zajicek (work)
The new MRT protocol is responsible for periodic RIB table dumps in the MRT format (RFC 6396). Also the existing code for BGP4MP MRT dumps is refactored and splitted between BGP to MRT protocols, will be more integrated into MRT in the future. Example: protocol mrt { table "*"; filename "%N_%F_%T.mrt"; period 60; } It is partially based on the old MRT code from Pavel Tvrdik.

2017-12-07Timers: Parse and format functions for microsecond timesOndrej Zajicek (work)
Date/time output (e.g. in logs, show commands) can use %f to specify subsecond time. By default, millisecond precision is used in output.
2017-12-07Timers: Replace old timers with microsecond timersOndrej Zajicek (work)
The old timer interface is still kept, but implemented by new timers. The plan is to switch from the old inteface to the new interface, then clean it up.
