[lwip-devel] [bug #52763] mdns: move data off the stack and dynamically allocate data.

[Douglas]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #52763 (project lwip):

Just a small update, fwiw.

* Adds a strndup using mem_malloc. Still does not appear to address all the
concerns and is still optimized for small memory usage.

* Can still use a timeout to queue an announcement but defaults to zero delay.
There seems little practical need for a delay.

One idea that might be food for thought:

* Flush a pending async outpacket before sending or queuing any other packets.
This both keeps them in order wrt state changes and minimizes the resource
usage. Practically I don't see responses with more than one answer, so I
expect they are rare. This strategy will fail if multiple responses are sent
quickly, the delay might not be met, and that might happen if there are both
ipv4 and ipv6 requests. If this is a problem then that queue could be
increased from one, but still the idea would be to keep them in order via the
queue and have a single timeout to flush the queue.
