The functionality is more a part of the provider than the context so it
should be defined in it. It also doesn't use any parts of the SSLContext
which makes it somewhat more clear that it doesn't belong there.
Changes to SSL configurations is expected to be rare which allows them to
be made into immutable objects once created. This is an acceptable
compromise between performance and usability.
The header depended on ssl.hh to include the OpenSSL headers even though
it used OpenSSL types. By fixing these dependencies the ssl.h header can
now freely include the rworker_local type which removes the need for the
hidden implementation of SSLProvider.
The class is intended to be inherited by objects that need an SSL context
and a configuration. In practice this will be servers and listeners.
The SSLContext is stored in a rworker_local shared_ptr that makes it
possible to update safely. As the copying is always done behind a lock the
cached local value always holds a valid SSLContext instance for the
duration of all function calls.
Using the pImpl idiom, the routingworker.hh header is not exposed in the
ssl.hh header. This allows the SSLProvider class to be inherited more
easily.
Backend should use empty() instead of length() to see if the buffer is
empty. The length of a buffer should always be valid to call, even on
empty buffers.
Changed getter function return values to std::string, converted
MXS_CONFIG_PARAMETER::set_from_list to take std::strings instead of const
char pointers.
All GWBUF macros that address a single link in a chain are now
simple wrappers for equivalent gwbuf_link-functions.
Next step is to drop the macros and replace their use with calls
to the functions.
A GWBUF given to any gwbuf-function:
- Must not be NULL. Exceptions are gwbuf_free() and gwbuf_append(),
in analogy with free() and realloc() respectively.
- Must be the head of a chain.
- Must be owned by the calling thread.
Formatted with nl_func_type_name and related options set to ignore. This
keeps the formatting intact for long return types in declarations and
definitions.
The Listener::create method now takes a set of configuration parameters
from which it constructs a listener. This removes the duplicated code and
makes the behavior of listener creation similar to other objects in
MaxScale. It also allows the configuration parameters to be stored in the
listener object itself.
