Integration into ./configure ( --enable-bdb2 ).
Adaptation of the test-suite ( 'make' -> ldbm; 'make bdb2-local' -> bdb2 ).
Minor fixes in slapd/libldbm.
Separates per backend type from per backend database initialization
and startup. Also supports per type / per backend shutdown.
New frontend startup/shutdown routines are also provided:
slap_init() slap_startup() slap_shutdown() slap_destroy()
New frontend->backend startup/shutdown is managed by:
backend_init() backend_startup() backend_shutdown backend_destroy
backend_init() now calls bi_init() to initial all function pointers
for the backend (excepting bi_init() which is now the only hardcoded
entry point). New entry points are detailed in slap.h struct
backend_info. backend_info is a per database type structure.
Besides the new startup/shutdown entry points, the new interface
also supports per backend type configuration options. One could have:
backend bdb2 (new Berkeley DB 2 backend)
bdb2_home /directory
database bdb2
...
*** This code is fairly experimental ***
*** Much cleanup and testing is still needed ***
see slap.h for details on struct backend_db and backend_info.
Likely broke things for non-posix threadings....
Update -lldap_r implementation to:
remove attribute support
hide thread detachment
provide concurrency accessors
provide initialization function
fix gethostby{addr,name}_r codes (not coverred by HAVE_REENTRANT_FUNCTIONS)
Update servers/libraries to use ldap_pvt_thread_ calls.
Cleanup server codes (no #ifdef HAVE_PTHREAD_THIS or _THATs)!
Removed -llthread
back-ldbm was using a cache specific lock to protect non-reentrant
database routines from being reenterred. This is inadequate.
Also, reentrant database systems calls were serialized unnecessarily.
Non-reentrant database calls must have a big_mutex. Implemented
this within -lldbm itself. library requires ldbm_initialize()
be called before any other ldbm call to initialize the big_mutex
and to do any other db specific initialization (ie: such as
required for DB2).
The dbc_mutex, dbc_cv, & dbc_readers fileds of dbcache are history.
The "reentrant_database" (REENTRANT_DATABASE) define is also axed.
- slapd's pid/args file names are based on the servers binary file names,
providing for multiple servers beeing run on one host.
- slapd supports the -l command line parameter for selection of a
syslog LOCAL user (-lLOCAL0 .. -lLOCAL7)
- db_appinit() is called during first ldbm_open() in DB 2.x to initialize
DB debugging features (good to find bugs in the DB code :-)
- a patch for a non-initialized variable in DB's 2.x db_open is provided.
Most function and variable definitions are now preceded by its extern
definition, for error checking. Retyped a number of functions, usually
to return void. Fixed a number of printf format errors.
API changes (in ldap/include):
Added avl_dup_ok, avl_prefixapply, removed ber_fatten (probably typo
for ber_flatten), retyped ldap_sort_strcasecmp, grew lutil.h.
A number of `extern' declarations are left (some added by protoize), to
be cleaned away later. Mostly strdup(), strcasecmp(), mktemp(), optind,
optarg, errno.
