The BNetworkRoute class manages a route_entry and the sockaddr's associated with it. It replaces the direct use of route_entry in the BNetworkInterface API. Using route_entry is fragile and inconvenient as it only holds pointers to the sockaddr's. When getting a list of routes from the kernel, each route_entry is set up so that its pointers point into the single flat buffer that is passed around. Creating a copy of the route_entry and then deleting the flat buffer makes the pointers in the copy stale. Returning these route entries therefore always lead to a use-after-free when they were eventually used. BNetworkRoute also takes over the code and functionallity of getting routes from RouteSupport. The corresponding method in BNetworkRoster is replaced by a static method in BNetworkRoute. Also distinguish between the default route and gateway of an interface. GetDefaultRoute() now gets the default BNetworkRoute for the interface while GetDefaultGateway() gets the associated gateway address within that default route. Adjust network preferences panel to this change. Note that we currently only seem to have per interface default routes and not an actual global default route. This was already the case before these changes and I did not further investigate what this means.
Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!

Contributing documentation
The main piece of documentation that still needs work are the API docs (found
in the tree at src/docs/user). Just find an undocumented class, write
documentation for it, and submit a patch.
