The original code had quite some issues, which are fixed by this
commit. Also we do more error checking now.

... well, actually this is a first real implementation of this subsystem.
I have added a counter registry, a way to access the countres (as readable
string) and a way to define and maintem them. Also, module impstats has
been updated to utilize the new system. Finally, I added some counters. I
hope that this sets the baseline for useful future enhancements.
replaced atomic operation emulation with new code. The previous code
seemed to have some issue and also limited concurrency severely. The
whole atomic operation emulation has been rewritten.
I cleaned up a lot of config variable access along the way. This
version compiles and runs, but does not yet offer any enhanced
functionality. pmrfc5424 is just a dummy that is not yet being used.
... plus a fix for a long-time bug in obj-types.h. That lead to
the object pointer only then to become NULL when the object was
actually destructed, I discovered this issue during
introduction of the pRcvFrom property in msg_t, but it potentially had other
effects, too. I am not sure if some experienced instability resulted from this
bug OR if its fix will cause harm to so-far "correctly" running code. The later
may very well be. Thus I will change it only for the current branch and also
the beta, but not in all old builds. Let's see how things evolve.
some things inside the message can be used over a large number of
messages and need to to be allocated and re-written every time. I now
begin to implement this as a "prop_t" object, first use for the inputName.
Some input modules are already converted, some others to go. Will do
a little performance check on the new method before I go further.
Also, this commit has some cleanup and a few bug fixes that prevented
compiliation in debug mode (I overlooked this as I did not compile
for debug, what I normally do, and the automatted test also does not
do that)
... this was long overdue, and I finlly tackeld it. It turned out to
be more complex than I initially thought. The next step now probably is
to actually implement multiple rule sets and the beauty that comes
with them.
... and also made it callable via an rsyslog interface rather then
relying on the OS loader (important if we go for using it inside
loadbale modules, which we soon possible will)
Unfortunatley, I do not have the full list of contributors
available. The patch set was compiled by Ben Taylor, and I made
some further changes to adopt it to the news rsyslog branch. Others
provided much of the base work, but I can not find the names of the
original authors. If you happen to be one of them, please let me
know so that I can give proper credits.
- 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.
