Code was added to driver.c about 9 months ago reportedly to fix a race
condition of some sort. The Bug description (1615787) is at:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1615787]&group_id=3152&atid=103152
The code added to callbacks.c are the two undocumented functions:
void *
Ns_RegisterAtReady(Ns_Callback *proc, void *arg)
{
return RegisterCallback(&firstReady, proc, arg);
}
void
NsRunAtReadyProcs(void)
{
Ns_Log(Debug, "************NsRunAtReadyProcs running****");
RunCallbacks(firstReady);
}
The block/context of code added to driver.c is this:
/*
* Register an at-ready callback to trigger the poll.
*/
Ns_RegisterAtReady(TriggerDriver, drvPtr);
/*
* Loop forever until signalled to shutdown and all
* connections are complete and gracefully closed.
*/
This all looks great, except for the fact that the NsRunAtReadyProcs proc is
never called.
The original bug was for 4.0.10, with a different setup:
Ns_RegisterAtReady(SockTrigger,NULL);
Question is why the code was put in, undocumented and unused. It also refers
to a bug from another version of AOLserver, not 4.5. Is NsRunAtReadyProcs
being used somewhere? If not, maybe it should be removed; if used, we need to
add some documentation.
