| DEFERRRED FOR APACHE 2.1 |
| |
| * Source code should follow style guidelines. |
| OK, we all agree pretty code is good. Probably best to clean this |
| up by hand immediately upon branching a 2.1 tree. |
| Status: Justin volunteers to hand-edit the entire source tree ;) |
| |
| Justin says: |
| Recall when the release plan for 2.0 was written: |
| Absolute Enforcement of an "Apache Style" for code. |
| Watch this slip into 3.0. |
| |
| David says: |
| The style guide needs to be reviewed before this can be done. |
| http://dev.apache.org/styleguide.html |
| The current file is dated April 20th 1998! |
| Also the file should be moved to the correct location for |
| future use. Q: should APR have it's own copy as well? |
| |
| * revamp the input filter syntax to provide for ordering of |
| filters created with the Set{Input|Output}Filter and the |
| Add{Input|Output}Filter directives. A 'relative to filterx' |
| syntax is definately preferable, but not realistic for 2.0. |
| |
| * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400) |
| Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules |
| in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork. |
| Better yet - not only inform the startup of which phase it's in, |
| but allow the parent 'process' to initialize shared memory, etc, |
| and create a module-by-module stream to pass to the child, so the |
| parent can actually arbitrate the important stuff. |
| |
| * Replace stat [deferred open] with open/fstat in directory_walk. |
| Justin, Ian, OtherBill all interested in this. Implies setting up |
| the apr_file_t member in request_rec, and having all modules use |
| that file, and allow the cleanup to close it [if it isn't a shared, |
| cached file handle.] |
| |
| * Refactor auth into auth protocols and auth database stores. |
| Many interested hackers, too destabilizing for 2.0 inclusion. |
| |
| DEFERRRED FOR APACHE 3.0 |
| |
| * The Async Apache Server implemented in terms of APR. |
| [Bill Stoddard's pet project.] |
| Message-ID: <008301c17d42$9b446970$01000100@sashimi> (dev@apr) |
| |
| * Add a string "class" that combines a char* with a length |
| and a reference count. This will help reduce the number |
| of strlen and strdup operations during request processing. |
| Including both the length and allocation will save us a ton |
| of reallocation we do today, in terms of string manipulation. |
