All routers except the binlogrouter now fully implement the JSON
diagnostic entry point. The binlogrouter needs to be handled in a separate
commit as it produces a large amount of diagnostic output.
The static module capabilities are now used to query the capabilities of
filters and routers. The new RCAP_TYPE_NOAUTH capability is also taken
into use. These changes removes the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
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.
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 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.
- 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.
The general purpose stuff in skygw_utils.h was moved to utils.h
and the corresponding implementation from skygw_utils.cc to utils.c.
Includes updated accordingly.
Skygw_utils.h is now only used by log_manager and by mlist, which
is only used by log_manager. Consequently, skygw_utils.h was moved
to server/maxscale.
Utils.h needs a separate overhaul.
- STRERROR_BUFLEN moved to cdefs.h and renamed to MXS_STRERROR_BUFLEN.
Better would be to provide a 'const char* mxs_strerror(int errno)'
that would have a thread specific buffer for the error message.
- MIN and MAX also moved to defs.h as MXS_MIN and MXS_MAX.
- Now only mlist.h of the headers depend upon skygw_utils.h.
- 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.
Each router module now resides in a subdirectory of its own.
The name of the subdirectory is the same as the name of the
library in the module's CMakeLists.txt file.
