## Detailed Description

This class defines DNS serial numbers and serial arithmetic.

DNS Serial number are in essence unsigned 32-bits numbers, with one catch; they should be compared using sequence space arithmetic. So given that they are 32-bits; as soon as the difference between two serial numbers is greater than 2147483647 (2^31 - 1), the lower number (in plain comparison) is considered the higher one.

In order to do this as transparently as possible, these numbers are stored in the Serial class, which overrides the basic comparison operators.

In this specific context, these operations are called 'serial number arithmetic', and they are defined in RFC 1982.

Note
  RFC 1982 defines everything based on the value SERIAL_BITS. Since the serial number has a fixed length of 32 bits, the values we use are hard-coded, and not computed based on variable bit lengths.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ getValue()

uint32_t isc::dns::Serial::getValue | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the uint32_t representation of this serial value.

Returns
  The uint32_t value of this Serial

## ◆ operator!=()

bool isc::dns::Serial::operator!= | ( | const Serial & | other | ) | const

Returns true if the serial values are not equal.

Returns
  True if the values are not equal

Here is the call graph for this function:

## ◆ operator+() [1/2]

Serial isc::dns::Serial::operator+ | ( | const Serial & | other | ) | const

Adds the given value to the serial number.

If this would make the number greater than 2^32-1, it is 'wrapped'.

Note
  According to the specification, an addition greater than MAX_SERIAL_INCREMENT is undefined. We do NOT catch this error (so as not to raise exceptions), but this behaviour remains undefined.

Parameters

  other | The Serial to add

Returns
  The result of the addition

Here is the call graph for this function:

## ◆ operator+() [2/2]

Serial isc::dns::Serial::operator+ | ( | uint32_t | other_val | ) | const

Adds the given value to the serial number.

If this would make the number greater than 2^32-1, it is 'wrapped'.

Note
  According to the specification, an addition greater than MAX_SERIAL_INCREMENT is undefined. We do NOT catch this error (so as not to raise exceptions), but this behaviour remains undefined.

Parameters

  other_val | The uint32_t value to add

Returns
  The result of the addition

## ◆ operator<()

bool isc::dns::Serial::operator< | ( | const Serial & | other | ) | const

Parameters

  other | The Serial to compare to

Returns
  True if this is smaller than the given value
