>Description:
The "dig" utility (/usr/sbin/dig) prints out it's queries using the RES_DEBUG
feature of the resolver library. RES_DEBUG only functions if DEBUG is defined
while building the resolver library. However, the NetBSD resolver portion of
the shared C library is not built using DEBUG. Thus, "dig" never prints out
the queries it receives.
>How-To-Repeat:
See dig run. See dig print out nothing. Run dig, run!
>Fix:
I'm not sure what the "right" thing to do is. As I see it, there are two
options:
- Build the resolver library with -DDEBUG. This will let every program set
the RES_DEBUG flag and actually have it be useful. It would also increase
the size of the shared C library.
- Build "dig" with it's own copies of the necessary resolver functions with
-DDEBUG defined.
Here's a patch that implements the second option:
