swiftc(1) requires every -D option to be prefixed with -Xcc, which
is not easy to achieve using autoconf.
Now instead of setting configuration macros like HAVE_LSEEK64 on the
command line using -D, they are defined in config.h, which is generated
by ./configure, ignored by Git, and included by all headers and source
files that use any configuration macro.
The dependency on Makefile has been replaced with a dependency on
Makefile.in and config.h, which helps avoid some redundant full
recompiles after running ./configure, because the configure script
does not overwrit config.h if its content does not change.
This introduces a new way of linking Serval executables and dynamic
libraries from static libraries like libservald.a -- called
"feature-driven" linking.
The Makefile now links servald and serval-tests from libservald.a,
rather than from an explicit list of object (.o) files. Thanks to the
section-based method for registering functions such as HTTP handlers,
CLI commands and MDP handlers, these object files had become
"stand-alone" and hence were no longer included in the link because
there was no unresolved reference that required them to be linked in.
The new "feature.h" provides the DECLARE_FEATURE(name) macro that each
stand-alone source file uses to declare the named feature(s) it
provides. Each executable can call the USE_FEATURE(name) macro in any
of its explicitly-linked source files to cause the corresponding
object(s) to be included in the link, eg, servald_features.c.
The DEFINE_BINDING() macro has been extended so that every individual
MDP binding is given a feature name based on its port number macro, eg,
"mdp_binding_MDP_PORT_ECHO".
Some features have been factored into their own separate source files so
they can be omitted or included in a build independently of each other:
- the MDP bindings for MDP_PORT_DNALOOKUP, MDP_PORT_ECHO,
MDP_PORT_TRACE, MDP_PORT_KEYMAPREQUEST, MDP_PORT_RHIZOME_xxx,
MDP_PORT_PROBE, MDP_PORT_STUN, MDP_PORT_STUNREQ
- the CLI "log" and "echo" commands
- the CLI "rhizome direct" command
The JNI source files are only compiled if the <jni.h> header is present,
otherwise they are omitted from libservald.so.
The CLI and server main loop now have no conditional JNI code. All JNI
code has been moved into separate source files, which #include the new
"jni_common.h" instead of <jni.h>. The "cli.h" header no longer
includes <jni.h>, so the rest of the Serval source code is now
unaffected by JNI definitions.
The 'cf_limbo' global variable is now thread-local, so that each thread
has its own independent copy of the loaded configuration. The JNI
server entry point now calls cf_init() once. The new 'cf_initialised'
flag prevents clobbering the config state by redundant calls to
cf_init().
The CLI "stop" command now sends SIGHUP to the specific thread in which
the server is running. This is achieved by writing the PID and TID
(Linux Thread ID) into the pidfile, separated by a space, on systems
that support the Linux gettid() and tgkill() system calls. The server's
signal handler has been overhauled, and its logging improved.
Recent addition of the GCC __attribute__(alloc_size) to some functions
in mem.h broke the build when using Clang 3.5. This commit introduces
configure-time checks for all GCC attributes used in the Serval source
code, and adapts accordingly.
fdpoll will now run a callback when about to sleep / woke up.
A new Java interface to indicate server started / sleeping / waking up.
An android implementation may allow the CPU to sleep.
If there's a java exception the server will try to shutdown.
Calling servald stop is currently undefined.
The OpenJDK 7 recently introduced the UNUSED() macro in their jni_md.h
header file, which is included from <jni.h>. This causes a
compile-error if "constants.h", which defines our own UNUSED() macro, is
included as well as <jni.h>.
The OpenJDK UNUSED() macro is unsuitable for our own use, because it
prefixes the unused identifier with "UNUSED_" whereas we depend on the
parameter name remaining unchanged.
I have reported this as a Request for Enhancement with Oracle Java,
asking them to remove the UNUSED() macro, since it is not used by any
JNI or Java extension header files. Review ID: JI-9013689.
In the meantime, constants.h now undefines UNUSED before defining it, so
including <jni.h> before "constants.h" will avoid a compile error.
Make .o files in separate subdirectories for servald and library
Factor struct __sourceloc and __WHENCE__ from "log.h" into "whence.h"
Factor sid_t etc from "serval.h" into "serval_types.h"
Factor rhizome_bid_t etc from "rhizome.h" into "rhizome_types.h"
Do not include "serval.h" in library sources
Add log_stderr.c and logMessage.c for stand-alone executables
Configurable rules file path: mdp.filter_rules_path
Add filter rules parsing code, add filtering to outgoing as well as
incoming packets
New test script: tests/mdp with two test cases
Improve test defs: new execute_servald() function
Widen MDP port number format from 8 to ten chars to accommodate leading
"0x"
Now the keyring is opened and seeded before the server daemon process is
forked, and any keyring error prevents the server from starting
No longer necessary to pass a (cli_parsed*) argument to server()
If no instance directory specified, then use paths like
/etc/serval/serval.conf
/var/cache/serval
/var/log/serval
/var/run/serval
etc. for files, instead of all in a single directory.
Log all directory creation as INFO messages.
Interpretation of log.file.directory_path has changed slightly.
Updated servald configuration tech doc.
