Recent commit 4c1480f13b ("MINOR: stick-tables: mark the seen stksess
with a flag "seen"") introduced a build regression on older versions of
gcc before 4.7. This is in the old __sync_ API, the HA_ATOMIC_LOAD()
implementation uses an intermediary return value called "ret" that is
of the same name as the variable passed in argument to the macro in the
aforementioned commit. As such, the compiler complains with a cryptic
error:
src/peers.c: In function 'peer_teach_process_stksess_lookup':
src/peers.c:1502: error: invalid type argument of '->' (have 'int')
The solution is to avoid referencing the argument in the expression and
using an intermediary variable for the pointer as done elsewhere in the
code. It seems there's no other place affected with this. It probably
does not need to be backported since this code is antique and very rarely
used nowadays.
The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. 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)
