This patch covers issue https://github.com/haproxy/haproxy/issues/3221. The parser for the "userlist" section did not use the standard keyword registration mechanism. Instead, it relied on a series of strcmp() comparisons to identify keywords such as "group" and "user". This had two main drawbacks: 1. The keywords were not discoverable by the "-dKall" dump option, making it difficult for users to see all available keywords for the section. 2. The implementation was inconsistent with the parsers for other sections, which have been progressively refactored to use the standard cfg_kw_list infrastructure. This patch refactors the userlist parser to align it with the project's standard conventions. The parsing logic for the "group" and "user" keywords has been extracted from the if/else block in cfg_parse_users() into two new dedicated functions: - cfg_parse_users_group() - cfg_parse_users_user() These two keywords are now registered via a dedicated cfg_kw_list, making them visible to the rest of the HAPorxy ecosystem, including the -dKall dump. I hope that this change makes the userlist parser cleaner, and furthermore, provides a clear pattern for refactoring other sections like "peers" or the other keywords.
