The type and name parsing functions could move outside of allocated memory
as they didn't check for the terminating null character. Also fixed the
printf format string used when the list of used tables is being created.
Fixed CDC testing connector to abort on error and added some extra output
to the cdc_datatypes test.
When log messages are written with both address and port information, IPv6
addresses can cause confusion if the normal address:port formatting is
used. The RFC 3986 suggests that all IPv6 addresses are expressed as a
bracket enclosed address optionally followed by the port that is separate
from the address by a colon.
In practice, the "all interfaces" address and port number 3306 can be
written in IPv4 numbers-and-dots notation as 0.0.0.0:3306 and in IPv6
notation as [::]:3306. Using the latter format in log messages keeps the
output consistent with all types of addresses.
The details of the standard can be found at the following addresses:
https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txthttps://www.rfc-editor.org/std/std66.txt
Both the listeners and servers now support IPv6 addresses.
The namedserverfilter does not yet use the new structures and needs to be
fixed in a following commit.
Moved some typedefs to router.h and server.h, changed a few
constants to these enums. Renamed some types in config.h to
remove "Gateway".
There are still some functions in the public header which are
only used in core, but they seem to fit the theme of public functions
so were not moved.
All modules now declare a name for the module. This is name is added as a
prefix to all messages logged by a module. The prefix should help
determine which part of the system logs a message.
The module commands now support an optional flag for arguments that when
enabled checks that the argument module name matches the registered domain
name. This can be used to enforce argument type validity for arguments
that are given to modules that expect objects of a certain type.
For example, this is used by the cache and dbfwfilter to prevent valid
filters but of the wrong type being given as arguments.
The MXS_MODULDE object now contains optinal pointers for functions
to be called att process and thread startup and shutdown. Since the
functions were added to the end, strictly speaking, all structures
would not have needed to have been modified, but better to be
explicit. In a subsequent change, these will be called.
C++ does not support flexible arrays, so for the time being C++
modules are restricted to 10 parameters. Better approach is to
factor out the parameters to a separate array and then just store
a pointer to that array in MXS_MODULE.
The MODULE_INFO is now the main object which is used by modules to convey
information to the MaxScale core. The MXS_MODULE name is more apt as it
now contains the actual module definition.
The old MODULES structure was moved into load_utils.c as an internal
implementation and was renamed so that it is not confused with the new
MODULE structure.
The modules are now declared with a common macro. This allows future
additions to the module loading process while also making the loaded
symbol name a constant.
This allows modules to only expose one entry point with a consistent
signature. In the future, this could be used to implement declarations of
module parameters.
Currently, when the avrorouter finishes reading a binlog file or when a
certain number of rows or transactions is reached, it will flush all
tables to disk. This is quite slow as events can easily be written faster
into the binlog than they can be processed by avrorouter.
A solution to this would be to only sync the tables (close the Avro block)
instead of flushing them to disk. This would allow more efficient
processing of the files while still retaining the safe shutdown that
flushing offers.
