HAProxy - Load balancer
7b5654f54a
The current initcall implementation relies on dedicated sections (one section per init stage) to store the initcall descriptors. Then upon startup, these sections are scanned from beginning to end and all items found there are called in sequence. On platforms like AIX or Cygwin it seems difficult to figure the beginning and end of sections as the linker doesn't seem to provide the corresponding symbols. In order to replace this, this patch simply implements an array of single linked (one per init stage) which are fed using constructors for each register call. These constructors are declared static, with a name depending on their line number in the file, in order to avoid name clashes. The final effect is the same, except that the method is slightly more expensive in that it explicitly produces code to register these initcalls : $ size haproxy.sections haproxy.constructor text data bss dec hex filename 4060312 249176 1457652 5767140 57ffe4 haproxy.sections 4062862 260408 1457652 5780922 5835ba haproxy.constructor This mechanism is enabled as an alternative to the default one when build option USE_OBSOLETE_LINKER is set. This option is currently enabled by default only on AIX and Cygwin, and may be attempted for any target which fails to build complaining about missing symbols __start_init_* and/or __stop_init_*. Once confirmed as a reliable fix, this will likely have to be backported to 1.9 where AIX and Cygwin do not build anymore. |

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 - 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)
