rsyslog.git/threads.h, branch v5.7.4

replaced data type "bool" by "sbool" because this created some portability issues

some minor cleanup, consolidated some code

solved a recently introduced race during input thread shutdown

2009-10-15T16:33:33+00:00

This was introduced when we re-enabled non-cancel thread termination
a few commits ago. This code has never been released as a tarball,
so that is no bugfix for a release but rather a WiP regression fix
and thus does not need to be mentioned in the ChangeLog.

internal: added ability to terminate input modules not via pthread_cancel...

2009-07-20T16:36:30+00:00

... but an alternate approach via pthread_kill. This is somewhat safer as we
do not need to think about the cancel-safeness of all libraries we use.
However, not all inputs can easily supported, so this now is a feature
that can be requested by the input module (the most important ones
request it).

moved files to the runtime

2008-04-16T08:26:54+00:00

there are still some files left which could go into the
runtime, but I think we will delete most of them once we
are done with the full modularization.

- some cleanup

2008-01-10T17:33:21+00:00

- implemented management function for worker thread 0 in order to change
    queue workers dynamically -- stage work

- fixed a bug that caused a segfault on startup when no $WorkDir directive

2008-01-10T14:27:26+00:00

    was specified in rsyslog.conf
- fixed a bug that caused a segfault on queues with types other than "disk"
- removed the now longer needed thread TermSyncTool

moved queue code to its own module (finally)

2008-01-03T09:44:54+00:00

- working on a potential race condition on the new input module interface.

2007-12-20T08:54:51+00:00

    See newsgroup posting for details on the issue:
    http://groups.google.com/group/comp.programming.threads/msg/330b9675f17
    a1ad6 I tried some mutex operations but came to the conclusion that
    this does not really help. So I have now switched to plain thread
    cancellation, which so far seems to be OK. Need more practical
    experience with other input modules to make a final decision. Thus I
    leave all code in and have just disabled the problematic code.

- implemented afterRun input module interface function

2007-12-17T14:34:22+00:00

- implemented $klogSymbolsTwice config directive
