Whether the log-file should be written to the filesystem or to
shared memory must now be explicitly defined when calling
skygw_logmanager_init() (instead of passing that via the argc/argv
construct).
Also, the meaning of '-l' when invoking maxscale has been changed.
Earlier -l [file|shm] specified whether the trace and debug logs
should be written to shared memory (while the error and message
logs always were written to the filesystem) and the _default_
was to write them to shared memory.
Now, with only one file, '-l' has still the same meaning, but it
decides whether the one and only logfile should be written to shared
memory, or the filesystem and the _default_ is to write it to the
filesystem.
The previous interface of skygw_logmanager_init was conceptually
broken. With -o you could specify that logging should be done to
stdout. However, even if you did that, the log manager still checked
that the logging directory could be accessed. Unless it had been
specified using -j <path> the default was /var/log/maxscale.
That is, unless the program calling skygw_logmanager_init was invoked
by a user that had write access to /var/log/maxscale, there would be
a complaint even if nothing was ever written to that directory.
In practice this meant that even if -o was used you had to provide
a -j with a path that surely is writeable (e.g. "/tmp").
This has now been changed so that you explicitly must provide the
log directory and the flags -j and -o are removed.
bool skygw_logmanager_init(const char* logdir, int argc, char* argv[]);
If /logdir/ is provided then logged messages are written to a log file
in that directory. If /logdir/ is NULL then messages are logged to stdout
and no checks for access to any directory is not made.
The log manager variables lm_enabled_log_files_bitmask, log_ses_count
and tls_log_info that earlier were declared separately in every
c-file are now declared in the log_manager.h header.
There were many combinations of tab-width used so making the
indentation look right in the editor wasn't really possible.
The changes made:
- All tabs replaced with spaces.
- Indentation depth 4.
- , followed by space.
- Most binary operators (*, =, -) surrounded by one space.
- No space following ( or before ).
- Keywords follwed by 1 space.
Now handled by defining the relevant defines. Should be fixed
by replacing the use of ss_info_assert with test macros that
always assert.
Task for fixing this properly:

The log manager is initialized only once and skygw_log_sync_all now checks if the log manager has been successfully started before interacting with the log manager
