Platform.h is intended to contain definitions and workarounds
for concepts that depend upon the used compiler and/or platform.
Currently it ensures that /thread_local/ is available irrespective
of whether the source is compiled in pre- or post C11 or C++11 mode.
This file should be included first by all MaxScale headers.
This is the first change in an attempt to arrange the linking so that
more errors are detected at link-time.
- All files in server/core but for gateway.c are linked to one shared
library called maxscale-common.
- The files log_manager/log_manager.cc and utils/skygw_utils.cc are
built into maxscale-common as well.
- MaxScale itself consists now only of gateway.c and is linked with
maxscale-common.
- All plugins link with maxscale-common.
- All executables link in addition with {EMBEDDED_LIB}.
After this change, the change (MXS-517) where query_classifier is the
only component that uses ${EMBEDDED_LIB} and the rest mysqlclient can
be made much cleaner.
After a few additional steps, all shared libraries can be linked with
the linker flags "-Wl,-z,defs", which directs the linker to resolve
all symbols. That will require that all shared libraries list all the
libraries they need, but will at the same time ensure that any
missing symbols are detected at link-time and not at run-time.
The manpage was out of date and was missing a BUGS section. The `--help` output
of MaxScale wrongly stated that the default is to log to shared memory as did
the documentation.
The current implementation of the session timeout functionality is not safe to
use. Added a warning to the documentation and disabled the code. If the user
tries to use it, a warning is logged.
The current implementation of idle connection timeouts is not safe. The sessions
are handled in a way which is not thread-safe and the checking is done from
a non-polling thread.
With this change, the checks for the session timeouts are done in one of the
polling threads in a thread-safe manner only if at least one service has enabled
the timing out of idle client connections.
Currently the initialization function only prepares PCRE2 patterns for use.
Added the call to the new utils_init() function to MaxScale and all relevant
tests.
The replace_quoted now uses a shared PCRE2 pattern which should remove some
of the overhead of the function.
The preparation and closing of prepared statements was sent to all servers
even though the execution was always sent to the master. With this change,
all queries which interact with prepared statements are only sent to the master.
The sending of statement preparations to all servers is a problem when a
statement which depends on a database or a table is created and the DDL
statement which created that table has not yet been replicated to the
slaves.
In addition to fixing the aforementioned problem, this change should also
reduce unnecessary network traffic to slaves and improve the overall
performance of the prepared statements.
