- Bindable is generally useful, so it makes sense to move it out of the
netlink library. Removed Equatable conformance from Bindable as this
isn't generally necessary (it's only used for unit tests in netlink).
- Fix some offset checks in a couple data binding functions and improve
the unit tests.
- Simplifies processing and validation of MAC addresses for
apple/container#1005, where we need to create MAC addresses and
corresponding link local IPv6 addresses.
- Adds Codable for IPAddress and CIDR for apple/container#1006, so we
can parse and relay IP addresses regardless of address family for port
forwards.
This change adds extension to the CIDR and IPAddress types to implement
custom encode/decode functions for `Codable` conformance to use their
string representation as the output from encode and input to decode.
This would make the output from encoding this type (e.g. JSON) more
human-readable rather than using the internal integer representation.
These types can benefit from swift's automatic
synthesis as the properties already conform to Codable. This will give
some flexibility for clients using these types to not have to add
extension and implement the encoding / decoding separately.
