This is my first foray into AutoConf.. so this is why I'm posting the patch
it defines there new #defines APU_HAVE_XDBM.
there is also a new dbm open function _open_ex(...) to specify the DBM
later all also add a specific open call for each DBM
So .. please comment..
As far as autoconf usage, it looks reasonable to me...
Any reason why the type parameter passed to the new open function is char * instead of an enum?
Is there a way for apps to be aware of the APU_HAVE_foo capabilities?
I guess.. we just need to move the #defines somewhere they can see them maybe apu.h.in instead of _select_db.h
(I don't think this has to be solved immediately.) Some will want to
know what choices they should offer their users.
how about a function which returns a array of choices?
I guess having a char * type lets the app pass it straight from a configuration directive to apr-util with no knowledge on the part of the app.
yes.. the plan in the future would be to add a hook or something at the end of the function so other DBM's can register themselves and let them handle the open call.
