* backend.filehandles maximum filehandles used
* backend.mmap_window_size mapping window start size
* backend.as_limit address space limit
This needs to be changed to use the lumieraorg_configuration interface.
Quite some code which was hold back in favor of the config and plugin stuff
implements:
* mmapcache: mru cache for unused memory mappings
* mmap: single mmaped areas
* mmapings: manages mmaps established for one filedescriptor
removes the difference in compiled in and plugin interfaces.
* All interfaces are now defined with LUMIERA_EXPORT(...)
* The definition of LUMIERA_PLUGIN at compile time takes action to compile
as plugin which gets automatically managed.
* compiled in (core) interfaces need still be registered, this is
simplified with the LUMIERA_INTERFACE_REGISTEREXPORTED and
LUMIERA_INTERFACE_UNREGISTEREXPORTED macros which become no-ops for
plugins.
The plugin refcounter is driven from interface opening/closing, this is
quite internal.
The 'last' time in plugin now records the last time the refcounter dropped
to 0, this is just sufficient enough to find out how long a plugin is
unused.
* fix configure.ac to check for dlopen, introduce $(LUMIERA_PLUGIN_LIBS)
* Generic pluginloader finished, all plugins get loaded and registered at
start for now, it is prepared for on-demand loading and unloading but
not implemented because that needs the plugindb.
- plugin unloading not yet finished, this asserts at the end
* add a lumiera_interface_version() function for runtime type and version
checking of interfaces
* the 'lumieraorg__plugin' interface is now private
* add a macro to construct a interface instance name string
* plugin{.h,.c} are back but work in progress
* the interfaceregistry also manages a pluginregistry, makes no much sense
to isolate it yet, both share a mutex and are commonly used together
This ditches the old 'proof of concept' implementation, interfaces and
plugins are internally separate now and publically only accessed over
the 'interfaces' api.
The interface registry now gets an additional 'plugin' member to
backreference plugins from interfaces.
There where some bugs slipped in (not yet tested code)
removed the descriptor from the plugin itself, lets see if we can remove
the acquire and release functions later too.
Declare the plugin interface itself in its first experimental state
After a discussion with ichthyo and some further thinking this should be
mostly finished now. Nevertheless it is still experimental until we gain
experience with it.
wordlists are simple not quoted words delimited by semicolon, tab, space or
commas. Some special functions will allow to access each of this words by
index etc.
All interfaces which are available get registered in a tree.
This will be used internal for lookup interfaces. The higher level calls
will be an amalgamation of this lookup and the upcoming plugindb and
loader.
* lumiera_interface are now static structures, never wrritten
* introduced a lumiera_interfacenode which manages the dynamic data
of interfaces. The interfaceregistry now holds this nodes.
