macros into our namespace and limit use to headers. A subsequent
round will add macros to separately handle forward declarations
of variables from declaration of function prototypes. The last
round will add additional macros for declaring actual variables and
functions.
Old code applied sync flags to store(), however supported DBMs
require such flags to be specified during open(). The new
code now applies flags in ldbm_cache_open (which calls ldbm_open).
ldbm_cache_close() now calls ldbm_sync(). This will force
a updating of on-disk contents after each LDAP operation.
The old code either failed to sync the on-disk contents until
close or synced on every store. Per LDBM operation syncing
*should* be safe enough... real data safety requires transactions.
Removed nosync option from BDB2 as it is not compatible with
txn support.
Also added code to disable DBM level locking as slapd is only
process acessing the databases (dbnolocking).
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.
