This is the start of the replacement of the buffer API calls. Only the ring_write() function was touched. Instead of manipulating a buffer all along, we now extract the ring buffer's head and tail upon entry, store them locally and use them using the vec<->ring API until the last moment where we can update the buffer with the new values. One subtle point is that we must never fill the buffer past the last byte otherwise the vec-to-ring conversion gets lost and there's no more possibility to know where's the beginning nor the end (just like when dealing with head+tail in fact), because it then becomes impossible to distinguish between an empty and a full buffer.
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)
