This function was sometimes used from a channel and sometimes from a buffer.
In both cases it requires knowledge of the size of the output data (to skip
them). Here the split ensures the channel can deal with this point, and that
other places not having output data can continue to work.
These ones manipulate the output data count which will be specific to
the channel soon, so prepare the call points to use the channel only.
The b_* functions are now unused and were removed.
New callbacks have been added to handle creation and destruction of filter
instances:
* 'attach' callback is called after a filter instance creation, when it is
attached to a stream. This happens when the stream is started for filters
defined on the stream's frontend and when the backend is set for filters
declared on the stream's backend. It is possible to ignore the filter, if
needed, by returning 0. This could be useful to have conditional filtering.
* 'detach' callback is called when a filter instance is detached from a stream,
before its destruction. This happens when the stream is stopped for filters
defined on the stream's frontend and when the analyze ends for filters defined
on the stream's backend.
In addition, the callback 'stream_set_backend' has been added to know when a
backend is set for a stream. It is only called when the frontend and the backend
are not the same. And it is called for all filters attached to a stream
(frontend and backend).
Finally, the TRACE filter has been updated.
'channel_analyze' callback has been removed. Now, there are 2 callbacks to
surround calls to analyzers:
* channel_pre_analyze: Called BEFORE all filterable analyzers. it can be
called many times for the same analyzer, once at each loop until the
analyzer finishes its processing. This callback is resumable, it returns a
negative value if an error occurs, 0 if it needs to wait, any other value
otherwise.
* channel_post_analyze: Called AFTER all filterable analyzers. Here, AFTER
means when an analyzer finishes its processing. This callback is NOT
resumable, it returns a negative value if an error occurs, any other value
otherwise.
Pre and post analyzer callbacks are not automatically called. 'pre_analyzers'
and 'post_analyzers' bit fields in the filter structure must be set to the right
value using AN_* flags (see include/types/channel.h).
The flag AN_RES_ALL has been added (AN_REQ_ALL already exists) to ease the life
of filter developers. AN_REQ_ALL and AN_RES_ALL include all filterable
analyzers.
Instead of calling 'channel_analyze' callback with the flag AN_FLT_HTTP_HDRS,
now we use the new callback 'http_headers'. This change is done because
'channel_analyze' callback will be removed in a next commit.
Add opaque data between the filter keyword registrering and the parsing
function. This opaque data allow to use the same parser with differents
registered keywords. The opaque data is used for giving data which mainly
makes difference between the two keywords.
It will be used with Lua keywords registering.
Now, filter's configuration (.id, .conf and .ops fields) is stored in the
structure 'flt_conf'. So proxies own a flt_conf list instead of a filter
list. When a filter is attached to a stream, it gets a pointer on its
configuration. This avoids mixing the filter's context (owns by a stream) and
its configuration (owns by a proxy). It also saves 2 pointers per filter
instance.
The "trace" filter has been added. It defines all available callbacks and for
each one it prints a trace message. To enable it:
