@ -58,5 +58,18 @@ final decision based on experience gained during creation of input modules.</p>
specifically exported interface functions. Right now, we do not have an ideal
world and the input modules make some calls back into the core. This needs to be
re-thought but is accepted for the time being.</p>
<h2>No real Modules yet</h2>
<p>As already said in &quot;Call Encapsulation&quot;, the modules look like such, but are
not really able to work stand alone. The worst in this regard are</p>
<ul>
<li>imudp/omfwd/syslogd.c</li>
<li>imtcp</li>
</ul>
<p>But the others are not necessarily better. I have moved the code to the
modules, because now at least the majority of code is where it belongs to. But
there are still a large number of global variables, cross-function calls and the
like. This needs to be solved when we try to claim a real modular design. That's
not an easy task, but, hey, aren't we up for that...? ;)</p>
