- building the necessary plumbing to support more functions with
decent runtime performance. This is also necessary towards the
long-term goal of loadable library modules.
- added new RainerScript function "tolower"
- implemented function support in RainerScript. That means the engine
parses and compile functions, as well as executes a few build-in
ones. Dynamic loading and registration of functions is not yet
supported - but we now have a good foundation to do that later on.
NOTE: nested function calls are not yet supported due to a design
issue with the function call VM instruction set design.
- implemented the strlen() RainerScript function
Message parsing is now done as part of main message queue worker
processing (was part of the input thread) This should also improve
performance, as potentially more work is done in parallel.
- enhanced config file checking - no active actions are detected
- added -N rsyslogd command line option for a config validation run
(which does not execute actual syslogd code and does not interfere
with a running instance)
- somewhat improved emergency configuration. It is now also selected
if the config contains no active actions
- rsyslogd error messages are now reported to stderr by default. can be
turned off by the new "$ErrorMessagesToStderr off" directive
Thanks to HKS for suggesting these new features.
It is now iRet based. This enables us to communicate
more in-depth information to the upper peers. This is needed
to handle the EGAIN case on rcv (not yet implemented)
The TLS server now checks the client fingerprint. This works, but
is highly experimental. Needs to be refined for practice. Also:
- implemented permittedPeers helper construct to store names
- changed omfwd implementation to use new permittedPeers
This is very experimental and needs some more work. It probably even
segfaults - but the base code is there and running. The rest is
refinement.
While working on this, I did these two bugfixes:
- bugfix: small mem leak in omfwd on exit (strmdriver name was not freed)
- bugfix: $ActionSendStreamDriver had no effect
The objects for receiver-side socket abstraction have now be
specified. The project as whole does not yet compile and
definitely not run, but I'd like to commit some milestones along
this way.
- added the ability to specify an error log function for the
runtime
- removed dependency of core runtime on dirty.h
Note that it is "better" modularity, not perfect. There is still
work to do, but I think we can for the time being proceed with
other things.
