IPv6 address parsing for inet/cidr types (take II)

От

Дата:
The first posting was held for moderator approval, which never
happened, so I'll try this again after first subscribing.

This was done as part of my job at the Internet Software Consortium.

Major changes:

        Add ipv6 address parsing support to 'inet' and 'cidr' data types.

        Stop treating ipv4 as an "unsigned int" and ipv6 as an array of
        characters.  Instead, always use the array of characters so we
        can have one function fits all.  This makes bitncmp(), addressOK(),
        and several other functions "just work" on both address families.

        add family() function which returns integer 4 or 6 for ipv4 or
        ipv6.  (See examples below)  Note that to add this new function
    you will need to dump/initdb/reload or find the correct magic
    to add the function to the postgresql function catalogs.

        IPv4 addresses always sort before IPv6.

    On disk we use AF_INET for IPv4, and AF_INET+1 for IPv6 addresses.
    This prevents the need for a dump and reload, but lets IPv6 parsing
    work on machines without AF_INET6.

        To select all IPv4 addresses from a table:

                select * from foo where family(addr) = 4 ...

        Order by and other bits should all work.

Regression tests pass, at least on my NetBSD machine.

As I recall, Paul Vixie's first attempt at this was rejected because it
undid a lot of painfully-arrived-at decisions about the I/O behavior of
these datatypes.  You need to tell us exactly what you did about those
issues.  (No, I don't have time to read the code to find out...)

You also need to supply some documentation updates --- code updates
alone are incomplete.  I'd not have had to ask the question above if
this patch included proper documentation.  The "Network Address Data
Types" and "Network Address Type Functions" pages both need to be fixed.

Some additions to the inet regression test would seem in order, too.

I believe it was decided that ipv6 should be a separate data type (or
two).

It shouldn't change the behavior much at all -- all I do is
return a different data length for ipv6 addresses (16 bytes rather
than 4) but the inet and cidr behavior remain unchanged, as well as
the on-disk storage model for ipv4 addresses.  ipv6 uses a different
family type.

I'd gladly do those, but wanted feedback on the work in progress
before I did them.  Paul asked me to mail out what I had asap, and
I've not made the documentation or regression test changes yet
(although I have the regression tests for my own use, of course.)

One other poster suggested they should be two data types, which I half
agree with.  There are advantages of being able to use IPv4 or IPv6
addresses in the same column, so I wouldn't have to have two tables
for host <-> address mappings, for instance.  I'm undecided on which
is better, but so far I've used the inet with ipv4 and 6 data type
once and found them useful under one data type.

Perhaps we can make "inet" take both and then define domains "inet4" and
"inet6" over it that only take one kind.

I had originally felt strongly that there should be only one datatype
... but IIRC the thread Peter referred to convinced me that they should
indeed be two types, or at least that there's a darn good argument for
that viewpoint.  Michael, have you reviewed the archives?  I'd be
interested to hear your take on that discussion.

Single basic datatype plus two domains seems like a reasonable approach
if we feel that both viewpoints have merit.  But I wonder whether they
both do ...

You guys can make any decision you like --- I am just glad we are
getting this done, and with IPv6 connections in 7.4, not having an IPv6
data type would have been an embarrassment.

Arguments for a single data type:

        An address is an address, and it seems to be a waste to have
        a column for IPv4 and one for IPv6, when the latter or the
        former will nearly always be empty.

        Parsing, text output, masklen(), show(), abbrev(), network(),
        and host() all work identically on IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, and
        return the proper data.

Arguments against a single data type:

        lt(), gt(), cmp(), etc. all work fine when comparing the same
        family, but get a little odd (that is, fail) when comparing
        different families.

        broadcast() really doesn't mean much on an IPv6 address.

The way I'm using the data types right now I tend to prefer one column
that can hold either type, so I don't have to worry about which is
which.  I can use family() to make certain the families are compatible
when comparing them.

I've reviewed the archives on the topic, and tend to believe one
data type still makes sense.  If the IPv6 support won't be accepted
unless changes are made, I will have to learn more about pgsql.  The
last time I hacked on it was when it had the unfortunate name of
Postgres, about half a year before it became Postgres95 or something
like that.  :)

Here's the latest patches, which now include documentation changes
(although they are likely rough) and regression tests (which caught a
bug or two, imagine that!)
