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.
With the changes to the DCB handling, the service pointer of a client DCB
must always be assigned.
Also removed the unnecessary parentheses around the comparison.
