For code dumps, dumping from the return address is pointless, what is interesting is to dump before the return address to read the machine code that was executed before branching. Let's just make the function support negative sizes to indicate that we're dumping this number of bytes to the address instead of this number from the address. In this case, in order to distinguish them, we're using a '<' instead of '[' to start the series of bytes, indicating where the bytes expand and where they stop. For example we can now see this: 0x6bd634 <64 8b 38 e8 ac f7 ff ff]: debug_handler+0x84/0x95 0x7fa4ea2593a0 <00 00 00 00 0f 1f 40 00]: libpthread:+0x123a0 0x752132 <00 00 00 00 00 90 41 55]: htx_remove_blk+0x2/0x354 0x5b1a2c <4c 89 ef e8 04 07 1a 00]: main+0x10471c 0x5b5f05 <48 89 df e8 8b b8 ff ff]: main+0x108bf5 0x60b6f4 <89 ee 4c 89 e7 41 ff d0]: tcpcheck_eval_send+0x3b4/0x14b2 0x610ded <00 00 00 e8 53 a5 ff ff]: tcpcheck_main+0x7dd/0xd36 0x6c5ab4 <48 89 df e8 5c ab f4 ff]: wake_srv_chk+0xc4/0x3d7 0x6c5ddc <48 89 f7 e8 14 fc ff ff]: srv_chk_io_cb+0xc/0x13
HAProxy
HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.
Installation
The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.
Getting help
The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.
The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.
Documentation
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.
Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for:
- INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
- BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
- LICENSE for the project's license
- CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions
The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory:
- doc/intro.txt for a quick introduction on HAProxy
- doc/configuration.txt for the configuration's reference manual
- doc/lua.txt for the Lua's reference manual
- doc/SPOE.txt for how to use the SPOE engine
- doc/network-namespaces.txt for how to use network namespaces under Linux
- doc/management.txt for the management guide
- doc/regression-testing.txt for how to use the regression testing suite
- doc/peers.txt for the peers protocol reference
- doc/coding-style.txt for how to adopt HAProxy's coding style
- doc/internals for developer-specific documentation (not all up to date)
