Due to an include conflict between /usr/include/poll.h and
maxscale/server/include/poll.h the latter was moved to
maxscale/server/include/maxscale/poll.h.
Once 1.4 is out, all maxscale header files will be moved to that
same sub-directory. That will prevent include conflicts and also
make it easy to see which include files belong to maxscale and
which do not.
The polling statistics collection used atomic_add to increment values. This
is not an optimal way to update statistical values. Moved to per thread
values which are summed up when they are read.
Moved the functions used to gather polling statistics to their own file and
created a specific data type for statistics.
The THREAD type was not used everywhere and pthread_t was used instead.
The thread creation function also returned the address of a stack allocated
value which isn't guaranteed to be usable.
Only the query classifier needs the functionality of the embedded
server, while the rest of MaxScale is content with the client
library or Connector/C.
This have now been rearranged so that query-classifier links with
the embedded static library and then explicitly exports its own
functions using the query_classifier.map linker script. That way
query classifier will use the embedded library, while the rest of
maxscale use the client library, and this without conflicts.
Currently, query_classifier is not linked to maxscale-common,
but executables must link to maxscale-common and query_classifier.
This is the first change in an attempt to arrange the linking so that
more errors are detected at link-time.
- All files in server/core but for gateway.c are linked to one shared
library called maxscale-common.
- The files log_manager/log_manager.cc and utils/skygw_utils.cc are
built into maxscale-common as well.
- MaxScale itself consists now only of gateway.c and is linked with
maxscale-common.
- All plugins link with maxscale-common.
- All executables link in addition with {EMBEDDED_LIB}.
After this change, the change (MXS-517) where query_classifier is the
only component that uses ${EMBEDDED_LIB} and the rest mysqlclient can
be made much cleaner.
After a few additional steps, all shared libraries can be linked with
the linker flags "-Wl,-z,defs", which directs the linker to resolve
all symbols. That will require that all shared libraries list all the
libraries they need, but will at the same time ensure that any
missing symbols are detected at link-time and not at run-time.
Use of skygw_log_write() in ss_dassert and ss_info_dassert replaced
with the use of MXS_ERROR(). In addition, ss_dassert and ss_info_dassert
are now expressions that require a trailing ;.
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:
