This commit adds `Ip6::Prefix` class as a sub-class of `otIp6Prefix`
representing an IPv6 Prefix. Helper methods are provided in `Prefix`
and `Address` to perform prefix matching.
Different core modules such as `network-data`, `lowpan`, `dhcp6`,
`slaac`, and, `backbone-router` are updated to use the new `Prefix`
and its helper methods.
This commit also updates the unit test `test_ip6_address` to verify
behavior of `Prefix` and its helper methods.
This commit removes the extra `\n` at the end of error message strings
used in `VerifyOrQuit()` or `SuccessOrQuit()` macros in different unit
test modules. This help make the style (usage of macros) consistent
across all unit tests.
This commit contains t changes the methods in `NetworkData` class used
for iterating over on-mesh prefix, external router, etc (e.g.,
`GetNextOnMeshPrefix`()) to use reference input variables instead of
pointer type variables.
This commit changes `NetworkData` to use an enumeration `Type` to
specify whether a `NetworkData` instance represents local network
data or leader network data.
This commit makes the following changes: It defines the public
`otInstance` as an empty opaque structure which is used by all public
C OpenThread APIs. It defines a new class `ot::Instance` (inheriting
from `otInstance) which is then used in core source files. The
functionality related to the instance is also moved/added into the
newly added `Instance` class (as class/static or member methods).
This commit changes the model for OpenThread classes so that all
classes track/locate their owning/parent `otInstance` object (i.e.,
the owning `otInstance` object reference is expected to be passed as
an input argument in the object constructor). This replaces and
simplifies current model where some of classes track/locate the parent
`ThreadNetif`, `MeshForwarder`, or `Ip6` object references instead.
This helps harmonize the model across OpenThread source and also
simplify the `Locator` class implementation.
This commit updates the `otNetworkDataIterator` to also store the
sub-tlv offset (in addition to main prefix tlv offset and the entry
index). It also updates two methods `GetNextExternalRoute()` and
`GetNextOnMeshPrefix()`. This commit also adds network data unit
test module.
