2009-12-10COLLECTION: Cleaning FIXME commentsDmitri Pal1-19/+0
I scanned through the code and made sure that the FIXME comments are either addressed or a corresponding ticket exists. I removed two comments that had "FIXME" in them. The tickets for those comments are #72 and #308.
2009-12-10COLLECTION Create reference to the top level collectionDmitri Pal1-2/+4
This patch adds ability to create a reference to the top level collection. Previously one could get reference only to collection inside other collection. With this change it becomes possible to have two pointers to the same top level collection from multiple places. COLLECTION Adding comment. COLLECTION: Some tracing
2009-10-05COLLECTION Enhancing hashing and iteration functionsDmitri Pal1-2/+7
2009-10-05COLLECTION Making iterations pinnableDmitri Pal1-0/+3
This is a feature that helps ELAPI. It makes lookup of the fields that need to be resolved for every event a bit faster. The idea is to be able to put a 'pin' into a specific place while iterating the collection and make this place a new "wrap around" place for the collection. This means that next time you iterate this collection you will start iterating from the next item and the item you got before pin will be last in your iteration cycle. Here is the example: Assume you have two collections that you need to compare and perform some action on collection 1 based on the presense of the item in collection 2. Collection1 = A, B, C, D, E. F Collection2 = A, C, F The usual approach is to try A from collection 1 against A, B, C from collection 2. "A" will be found right away. But to find "F" it has to be compared to "A" and "C" first. The fact that the collections are to some extent ordered can in some cases help to reduce the number of comparisons. If we found "C" in the list we can put a "pin" into the collection there causing the iterator to warp at this "pin" point. Since "D" and "E" are not in the second collection we will have to make same amount of comparisons in traditional or "pinned" case to not find them. To find "F" in pinned case there will be just one comparison. Traditional case = 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15 Pinned case = 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 1 = 12 It is a 20% comparison reduction.
2009-10-05COLLECTION Adding item comparison and sortingDmitri Pal1-0/+107
Needed item comparison functions and realized that the easiest way to test them would be using sorting. Since there already been a ticket #73 to do that I added function to sort collection based on different properties of the item. COLLECTION Fixing issues with comparisons COLLECTION Adding do-while to macro
2009-09-11COLLECTION Functions to deal with hashDmitri Pal1-0/+10
The hashing logic was internal to the collection item. But if someone wants to effectively deal with the items and compare the property to a string he should compare hashes first. But it was not possible without the provided functions. As a result some of the ELAPI modules had to take advantage of knowledge of the item structure. This is bad. So this patch lays foundation for refactoring of the ELAPI code that was using internals of the item directly (file_util.c mostly). Also patch adds a unit test that was required for testing new functionality and for ticket #83
2009-09-10COLLECTION Improvements to copy functionsDmitri Pal1-9/+21
This patch adds better options for copying collections in flat mode. It allows caller of the interface to control prefixing of the fields when one collection is appended to another. It also avoids creating prefixes when the collection is simply copied in flat mode. Also for ELAPI I realized that the most efficient way to deal with the "resolved" event (event where all templeted values are actually replaced with the real values) is to add a callback capability to a copy collection function so that the callback can be used to modify the data (resolve it) while the copy operation is in progress. This approach eliminates the need for separate set of lookups after the event is already copied.
2009-09-09COLLECTION Copy collection flat with concatenated namesDmitri Pal1-19/+37
This patch addresses several issues: a) Adds capability to add or copy the collections in flattened mode but construct names of attributes in dotted notation. For example when you append collection "sub" with items "foo" and "bar" previously you could add them as "foo" and "bar" not you can flatten them and the names will be "sub.foo" and "sub.bar" this allows better processing of the attributes in the elapi message. b) Removes old implemntation of the copy collection function. c) Removes the col_set_timestamp, this functionality has been moved to ELAPI long ago. d) Updates collection unit test. e) Updates elapi to use new functionality f) Updates elapi unit test Have run under valgrind with no problems.
2009-08-20ELAPI: Adding concept of targetsDmitri Pal1-0/+3
The targets are the destinations which caller wants to send the events to. The sinks are now on the second level under targets and constitute a so called fail over chain for a target. Such approach eliminates the need for complex routing function. The dispatcher keeps the list of targets in a collection. The element in the collection is the target context. Also gispatcher keeps the list of the sinks in a separate collection. Each target context has a list of the sinks associated with this target. But those are just pointers (at least for now) to the sinks form the list kept by dispatcher. I had to add some internal debug callbacks to be able to see that all the internals of the dispatcher are actually in order. See the conttent of config file for more comments. Also see information posted on SSSD wiki. https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/WikiPage/ELAPIInterface
2009-07-20COLLECTION & INI CleanupDmitri Pal1-6/+9
I started to cleanup the unit tests from the type cust around NULL and found several problems that I had to address: 1) The choice of the "." as a search separator turned out to be a poor choice. The problem was that the file name has "." and INI was relaying on files to be used as property names. I corrected that part in the INI but after discussion with Simo we decided to switch from "." to "!" as special symbol anyways. 2) Found that the property rename was not reinitializing the hash. Corrected. Added ticket to add unit tests around it (#83).
2009-07-16COLLECTION Add remove item functionsDmitri Pal1-22/+54
The remove functions extract and remove items, they act differently from the way the delete_property function works. The new functions allow deletion with the disposition while the delete_property only deletes specified property. The delete_property function is left as is since there are some use cases when it is more efficient to use it rather than new remove_item_xxx ones.
2009-07-15COLLECTION Fixed: iterator_up and insert_into_currentDmitri Pal1-2/+4
During a review of the previous patch the two issues were found: a) The col_iterator_up function was not implemented properly so it got reworked. New implementation changes the way error condition is handled. Comments were updated accordingly. b) There was a mising check for validity of the argument in the col_insert_into_current function. Check was added. c) Unit test modified to reflect the change in functionality.
2009-07-15COLLECTION Adding flat traversal & copyDmitri Pal1-31/+63
The collection is hearachical. The flattening of the collection was not implemented before both for traversal and copying. This patch introduces functionality to traverse or iterate through collection as flat set and also copy collection into another flattening it and automatically resolving conflicts. Also imptoved tracability and fixed memory leak in unbind iterator code.

2009-07-02Changing function names for collection API.Dmitri Pal1-395/+432
Patch prepends prefix "col_" to all functions related to collection. This caused some formatiing issues so the alignement was addressed too.
2009-07-01Adding INSERT into collection functionality.Dmitri Pal1-16/+372
Add was always insterting at the end of the collection. With this change one can control where the item is inserted and deal with the duplicates too. Also one now can extract items from collection using absolute and relative disposition. Using more advanced hashing function.

Added a few new functions. Cleaned code that was subject to conditional build. Fixed the floating point conversion. Keep const values as const.
