The Listener::create method now takes a set of configuration parameters
from which it constructs a listener. This removes the duplicated code and
makes the behavior of listener creation similar to other objects in
MaxScale. It also allows the configuration parameters to be stored in the
listener object itself.
Allocating the session before a DCB guarantees that at no point will a DCB
have a null session. This further clarifies the concept of the session and
also allows the listener reference to be moved there.
Ideally, the session itself would allocate and assign the client DCB but
since the Listener is the only one who does it, it's acceptable for now.
By storing the reference in the DCB, the two-way dependency between the
listeners and services is severed. Now the services have no direct link to
listeners and after the destruction of a listener it will be freed once
all connections through it have closed.
Due to the fact that a listener itself has a DCB that must point to a
valid listener, a self-reference is stored in the listener DCB. This is
extremely confusing and is only here to keep the code functional until the
DCB part of the listener can be factored out.
The value would otherwise be assigned outside of it and in some cases not
at all. Now all DCBs (apart from internal ones) have a valid SERVICE
pointer.
The SERV_LISTENER pointer should not be in the DCBs but in the
session. This way the listener is an attribute of a session instead of a
connection. If this is implemented, the authenticator data can be more
easily shared.
The class is still mostly the same as the old C version but it now uses
std::string instead of char pointers. Changed configuration default values
so that the parameters passed to the listener allocation are always valid.
See script directory for method. The script to run in the top level
MaxScale directory is called maxscale-uncrustify.sh, which uses
another script, list-src, from the same directory (so you need to set
your PATH). The uncrustify version was 0.66.
Given that worker.hh was public, it made sense to make routingworker.hh
public as well. This removes the need to include private headers in
modules and allows C++ constructs to be used in C++ code when previously
only the C API was available.
A new class mxs::Worker will be introduced and mxs::RoutingWorker
will be inherited from that. mxs::Worker will basically only be a
thread with a message-loop.
Once available, all current non-worker threads (but the one
implicitly created by microhttpd) can be creating by inheriting
from that; in practice that means the housekeeping thread, all
monitor threads and possibly the logging thread.
The benefit of this arrangement is that there then will be a general
mechanism for cross thread communication without having to use any
shared data structures.
The internal header directory conflicted with in-source builds causing a
build failure. This is fixed by renaming the internal header directory to
something other than maxscale.
The renaming pointed out a few problems in a couple of source files that
appeared to include internal headers when the headers were in fact public
headers.
Fixed maxctrl in-source builds by making the copying of the sources
optional.
