Most of the ones still remaining outside are special cases.
Also, removed locking from status manipulation functions as it
has not been required for quite some time.
Switched from default character type functions to ones that use lookup
tables. Eliminated the internal state and replaced with in-place iteration
of the query. Added code to allow single-lookup detection of normal
characters.
Fixed the use of DCBs and sessions in the mock testing framework and
adapted them to the changes done to the objects in question. Extended the
testing utility functions to allow preloading modules as well as making it
possible to only partially initialize the query classifier.
The REST API and MaxCtrl tests relied upon the implicit sessions that were
created by the listeners. This can be corrected and improved by creating
an actual connection to MaxScale to check that a client session is indeed
created.
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.
Allocating DCB with new allows the use of C++ objects in the DCB
struct. Also the explicit poll field can be replaced by inheriting from
MXB_POLL_DATA.
By storing a shared pointer to the listeners in the services, they will be
available as long as the service using them exists. This enables clean
destruction of listeners that still have open sessions.
The listener creation code now separately creates the listener and links
it to the service. Also replaced relevant parts of the related code with
the listener implemented versions of it.
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.
If a listener is defined in a static configuration file, it can now be
destroyed at runtime. If MaxScale is restarted, the listener will be
created again unless the configuration file is modified.
