It is checked that many tcp connections are properly handled. While
adding this test, I noticed that there is a bug in imtcp that prevents
creation of more than 200 connections. This bug still exists, so the
test suite currently fails (what is correct). Will be addressed soon.
We noticed this race issue under Solaris (thanks to its different
scheduler, I guess). In some cases, the previous instance of rsyslogd
was not terminated, resulting in a failure on the next test. Now
handled correctly.
The testbench has now a generic driver that can run a whole class
of test suites just by providing a config file and test cases. This
does not cover all testing needs, but a lot.
We have now added one test for the new array-passing output plugin
interface.
I finally removed the tcl script because tcl costs a lot of
time if you do not invest the full learning cycle, plus I have
not everything avaible I need on Solaris. With C, I am quicker and
I also can create a superior solution. So I finally switched. Took
much less time than the initial tcl script...
worked on ways to provide a better test suite:
- added -T rsyslogd command line option, enables to specify a directory
where to chroot() into on startup. This is NOT a security feature but
introduced to support testing. Thus, -T does not make sure chroot()
is used in a secure way. (may be removed later)
- added omstdout module for testing purposes. Spits out all messages to
stdout - no config option, no other features
- modified $ModLoad statement so that for modules whom's name starts with
a dot, no path is prepended (this enables relative-pathes and should
not break any valid current config)
- 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"
pkg-config uses uppercase for its _CFLAGS and _LIBS variable names.
So we follow suit and convert all _cflags and _libs variables to
uppercase for more consistency.
I disabled some make check checks for make distcheck. I need
to add some addtl support for make distcheck environment to
rsyslogd and I don't like to hold 3.21.1 just for that any
longer.
I disabled a check below, because I can not find the cause of the
misalignment. The problem is that pToken structure has a different
member alignment inside the runtime library then inside of this
program. I checked compiler options, but could not find the cause.
Should anyone have any insight, I'd really appreciate if you drop me
a line.
..., restructured makefile, added some troubleshooting to test case
(program rscript-parse.c has problem due to different structure alignment,
where I do not yet know the reason)
