Here is the rsyslog work log for the past days:
2008-01-03
– fixed a few typos noticed by Jonathan Smith – thanks
– moved queue code to its own module (finally)
– restructured queue interface to use rsRetVal and instances, removed
dependency on globals – now more like a real class
– implemented queue type “drivers”
– queue is now a full object and handles threading by itself
– applied Michael Biebl’s patch to clean up the makefiles
– added capability to use a linked list for queuing to the queue class
– added $MainMsgQueueType config parameter
– some cleanup
– added $SpoolDirectory config parameter
– added $MainMsgQueueFilePrefix config parameter
– begun working on disk queueing (not completed, do not use this mode!)
– begun some work on Msg Object serializiation
2008-01-04
– created a kind of general base class
– removed serialization pointer from queue; used new base class instead
– utilized the new auto-destruction capability so that the queue can now
destruct user objects if needed
– changed queue object Construction/Startup interface
2007-08-05
– added capability for concurrent access to the msg class. Can be dynamically
activated. If active, locking is employed.
– added the “direct” queueing mode to queue class (no queing at all)
– added multiple worker thread capability to queue class
– implemented $MainMsgQueueWorkerThreads config directive
– removed some no-longer-needed code (thanks Michael Biebl for the help)
