# dns_get_record for OSX - Thread: https://externals.io/message/42521 - Original archive: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/42521 - Started by Scott MacVicar on 2009-01-07T03:30:42+00:00 - Messages: 8 - Reply by email to internals@lists.php.net - More for agents: search with https://externals.io/search.md?q={query} · JSON API at https://externals.io/api · documentation at https://externals.io/llms.txt --- ## #42521 — Scott MacVicar — 2009-01-07T03:30:42+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/42521#42521 I went to look at the bug Pierre mention earlier and noticed that dns_get_record isn't implemented on OS X, this looks to be down to the fact that it has a bind 8 BC layer that we use by default for some reason. I tried to make it use the bind 9 interface but it wasn't a simple task as some other things were missing. End result here is a patch that allows bind 8 to work and therefore OS X, the main difference is that there is a shared _res structure rather than a per request one. I'll apply this tomorrow if no one has any objections.

Does this mean it will also work on BSD? As far I remember then dns_get_record wasn't implemented on BSD aswell.

If not then it would FreeBSD ports have had their own patch for years. -Hannes --- ## #42525 — Pierre Joye — 2009-01-07T09:24:51+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/42521#42525 · In reply to: #42521 hi, > I went to look at the bug Pierre mention earlier and noticed that > dns_get_record isn't implemented on OS X, this looks to be down to the fact > that it has a bind 8 BC layer that we use by default for some reason.

If not then it would > be ideal to support it if OSX is patched :) Yeah it would work on all of the BSDs, though we have some wierd bastardisation of bind8 and bind9 code in dns.c, I think some gentle refactoring is in order to get this in a bit better shape. OS X actually has res_nmkquery but AC_CHECK_FUNC can't correctly detect this because of the way its defined in resolv.h, it's something like this. #define res_nmkquery bind_9_nmkquery AC_CHECK_FUNC does an #undef res_nmkquery as part of its test resulting in the failure. FreeBSD has __res_nmkquery but unfortunately PHP_CHECK_FUNC when checking for res_nmkquery OR __res_nmkquery it doesn't tell you which one it found. I'll fix this in stages I guess, starting with the autoconf fun. Scott
