Yesterday was a very busy day for rsyslog. I am on a good path to input modularization, but the hardest part needs still be done ;)
Here is the log:
– bugfix: fixing memory leak when message queue is full and during
parsing. Thanks to varmojfekoj for the patch.
– working on a potential race condition on the new input module
interface. See newsgroup posting for details on the issue:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.programming.threads/msg/330b9675f17a1ad6
I tried some mutex operations but came to the conclusion that this
does not really help. So I have now switched to plain thread
cancellation, which so far seems to be OK. Need more practical
experience with other input modules to make a final decision. Thus
I leave all code in and have just disabled the problematic
code.
– implemented $klogUseSyscallInterface config directive
– implemented $klogSymbolLookup config directive
– moved unix socket code to its own module (imuxsock)
– implemented $OmitLocalLogging config directive
– bugfix: memory leak in cfsysline.c/doGetWord() fixed
– implemented $SystemLogSocketName config directive
– implemented $AddUnixListenSocket config directive
– MILESTONE reached: imuxsock initial version done
– removed single-threading support for sending TCP messages; caused
simplyfication of output module interface as well as core syslog
processing.
– moved udp send code to its own function
