Knot DNS requires compiler to support atomic intrinsics.
GCC version at least 4.1 supports legacy atomic builtins, however 4.7 or newer is preferred.
GCC version at least 4.1 supports legacy atomic builtins, however 4.7
or newer is preferred.
Clang supports atomics since version 2.9.
By default Knot DNS is distributed with a slower zone file parser because of
smaller source file and quick compile time. In most cases it is sufficient.
If you plan to process large zone files, it is recomended to build Knot DNS
using ./configure --enable-fastparser. In this case Ragel compiler is required
and it is normal if the C compiler takes much more time (minutes).
