The service would not be in the list if it failed before it was placed there. Moving the actual freeing of memory into the Service destructor allows it to be called directly when we know the service is not in the list. This also only allows valid services to be placed into the global list of services. To prevent freeing a partially constructed service, the memory allocation checks were replaced with a runtime assertion. This can be changed when the creation of the service is done only at a point where we know it can't fail. Currently, the createInstance call expects the service as a parameter which prevents this.
MaxScale by MariaDB Corporation
The MariaDB Corporation MaxScale is an intelligent proxy that allows forwarding of database statements to one or more database servers using complex rules, a semantic understanding of the database statements and the roles of the various servers within the backend cluster of databases.
MaxScale is designed to provide load balancing and high availability functionality transparently to the applications. In addition it provides a highly scalable and flexible architecture, with plugin components to support different protocols and routing decisions.
For a detailed overview of what MaxScale can do, read the MaxScale page on the MariaDB website.
An Google Group exists for MaxScale that can be used to discuss ideas, issues and communicate with the MaxScale community.
We're also on the #maria and #maxscale channels on FreeNode.
Please report all feature requests, improvements and bugs in the MariaDB Jira.
