<p dir="auto">I went ahead and compiled and installed cmocka on a virtual build machine.<br>
When BIND 9.21 is compiled cmocka is detected and enabled (meson_options.txt has cmocka as feature as "auto"). All the provided tests execute and pass; some fail intermittently due to timeouts, but then I am running within a VM so I believe the issues are simply timing related - will test further.</p>
<p dir="auto">For production does the cmocka option need to be disabled, <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">-Dcmocka=disabled</code>?<br>
A cursory look suggests it is only used within the test code.<br>
I note that README.md suggests the option needs to be enabled to run the tests, so want to clarify;<br>
Perhaps it's this way for the development version (odd number).</p>
<p dir="auto">I shall go look over the cmocka docs as well.</p>
