/* These are macros for assembling an executable out of an explicitly-listed
|
||
|
* subset of "features". A feature is an object file (.o file) that contains
|
||
|
* the entire implementation of the feature, and is optional, ie, can be
|
||
|
* omitted from an executable without breaking the build.
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* In Serval DNA, features are joined up with their infrastructure using
|
||
|
* linkage sections; see "sections.h" for more details.
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* For example, a source file can add its own static function to the list of
|
||
|
* all URL path-to-function mappings for the HTTPD server using
|
||
|
* DECLARE_HANDLER() macro defined in "httpd.h". There is no
|
||
|
* explicitly-initialised array that lists all the URL paths; the array is
|
||
|
* constructed implicitly by the linker when it assembles the "httpd" section.
|
||
|
* Simply including the relevant object files in the link brings their
|
||
|
* functions into the array.
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* Features are also used to add commands to the CLI interface and to add
|
||
|
* port-number handlers to the MDP interface.
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* In order to build an executable from libservald.a, the executable needs a
|
||
|
* way to specify which optional features it wishes to link in, otherwise they
|
||
|
* will be omitted from the build, and as a result it will offer few or no CLI
|
||
|
* commands, no MDP services, and no HTTP services.
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* Each source file that implements a feature must contain a DEFINE_FEATURE()
|
||
|
* macro, with the name of the feature as its argument.
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* Every executable that links against libservald.a must contain a source file
|
||
|
* that invokes the USE_FEATURE() macro once for every defined feature it
|
||
|
* wishes to link in. This is typically done inside the main() function, but
|
||
|
* may be done within any function that is guaranteed to be included in the
|
||
|
* link.
