The modules that implement a diagnostics entry point now return a JSON
type object. This removes the need to format data inside the modules.
The module implementations of these are not yet complete which means that
MaxScale will fail to compile.
The static capabilities declared in getCapabilities allows certain
capabilities to be queried before instances are created. The intended use
of this capability is to remove the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
Using an empty struct instead of void* to represent the opaque
filter and filter session types, means that C++ filter types
simply can derive from them. That brings conceptual clarity and
also means that the C++ instances can be returned from the module
callbacks without casts. When provided as argument they can be
downcast using static_cast instead of reinterpret_cast.
In a subsequent change, the prototypes of MXS_ROUTER_OBJECT will
be updated and routers modified accordingly.
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.
Better to use types whose size is unquestionably unambiguous
in plugin interfaces.
As on current platforms sizeof(int32_t) == sizeof(int) plugins
need not immediately be changed to return int32_t:s instead of
int:s.
Common capabilities are now defined in routing.h. The common
capabilities can be defined using bits 0 - 15.
Router capabilities are defined using bits 16-31 and filter
capabilities (should there ever be such) using bits 32-47.
So, to find out the capabilities of a service you only need to
OR the capabilities of the router and all filters together.
For instance, if a single filter needs statement based routing,
then that is what is done.
The MySQL authenticator now injects the service user into the list of
allowed users if loading of database users fails. This allows the removal
of common code in the binlogrouter and maxinfo modules.
- Since the capabilities are a bitmask, it is better if an unsigned
integral type is used.
- Since the function is part of an ABI, it is better if an explicit
size is used.
- 64-bits so that there also is room for independent filter
capabilities.
- 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.
