When a buffer is cloned and then the original buffer parsed and freed, the
freeing of the cloned buffer will not release the memory that was
allocated when the original buffer is parsed.
This is a side-effect of how the buffer objects are stored in the buffer
and not in the shared memory buffer. The creation of a buffer object after
cloning will cause the buffer object to be lost as the cloned buffer
didn't have a pointer to the buffer object that was created later.
By moving the buffer objects into the shared memory buffer, the memory
leak is fixed.
The new type allows routers to send queries and get complete result sets
as a response. This allows the routers to easily send commands that create
result sets and which are parsed by the router.
Currently only the schemarouter benefits from this new capability as it
generates the database mappings by parsing the output of a SHOW DATABASES
query.
The readwritesplit now sends COM_PING queries to backend servers that have
been idle for too long. The option is configured with the
`connection_keepalive` parameter.
- Move docs from buffer.c to buffer.h
- Arguments made const-correct.
gwbuf_length
gwbuf_count
gwbuf_copy_data
- Boolean return values changes from int to bool.
gwbuf_add_property
- Meaningless returnvalue changed from int to void.
gwbuf_add_hint
- Unused function removed.
gwbuf_clone_transform
gwbuf_trim
gwbuf_clone cloned only the first buffer of a chain of buffers,
which never can be the desired outcome, while gwbuf_clone_all
cloned all buffers.
Now, gwbuf_clone behaves the way gwbuf_clone_all used to behave
and gwbuf_clone_all has been removed.
- All now include maxscale/cdefs.h as the very first file.
- MXS_[BEGIN|END]_DECLS added to all C-headers.
Strictly speaking not necessary for private headers, but
does not hurt either.
- Include guards moved to the very top of the file.
- #pragma once added.
- Headers now to be included as <maxscale/xyz.h>
- First step, no cleanup of headers has been made. Only moving
from one place to another + necessary modifications.
