This module was intended to be a test framework for GNRC but it never
really got used. It was not maintained for 3 years. It will be removed
after 2020.07 release at the latest.
Added a header to allow defining C interfaces using the default C11 atomic
types. Those types are however fully opaque and inaccessible from C++, as C11
atomics are completely incompatible with C++.
`_match_to_idx()` was removed from source address selection (which was
the only one setting the filter parameter to a non-NULL value), so it
is the parameter is not needed anymore.
When source address selection is done, both RFC and comments in the code
state, that a longest prefix match should *only* be used as a
tie-breaker between more than one viable candidate. If there is only one
address, there is
a) no need for a tie-breaker
b) in the case of either the destination address or the single remaining
address being ULAs ([which are considered to be of global scope]
[RFC4193]) possibly not matching, as `fd00::/7` and e.g. `2001::/8`
do not have a common prefix.
(b) in fact causes the match function to return -1, causing the source
address selection to return -1, causing the outer function to return the
first address it found (which most often is the link-local address),
causing e.g. a ping to an ULA to fail, even is there is a global
address.
[RFC4193]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4193
Different platforms evaluate `printf()` for NULL pointers differently,
resulting tests checking for a certain output to fail. This unifies that
(debug) output for the static packet buffer statistics.
This adds an early exit when the usb interface with the data endpoints
is not activated. This prevents the cdc_ecm_netdev code from attempting
to send the PDU when the USB device is not yet initialized or activated
by a host.
Similar as with #12513, when the NIB is compiled in 6LN mode (but not
6LR mode), the address-resolution state-machine (ARSM) functionality is
disabled in favor of the more simpler address resolution proposed in RFC
6775.
However, if a non-6LN interface is also compiled in (without making it
a router or border router) it will never join the solicited-nodes
multicast address of addresses added to it, resulting in address
resolution to that interface to fail.
If the interface is not a 6LN (which in case 6LN mode is disabled is
always false), a warning is now printed, encouraging the user to
activate the ARSM functionality if needed.
