Doesn't "graceful" re-run both first and second configuration phases?
Couldn't "stop" be used to execute code as an AP-style atexit()/on_exit()?
If so, the function would need to return some alternate code besides
"first time" or "second time".
I see a problem with both "prestart" and "graceful" indicating "first time"
because memory pools are cleared after preflight and after graceful.
Some modules might need to do some memory allocation during what you call
the "start" phase. You would not want to do this during "prestart"
because it would be cleared. But you would want it to run after
"graceful", because memory pools (except the main pool?) are cleared.
Doing it in child_init might be wasteful for forked MPMs, and a hassle to
do in child_init for threaded MPMs (e.g. having to keep tabs with SysV
conditionals PTHREAD_INIT_ONCE or atomics). (Or should the plog log pool
be used here instead of the primary pool?)
Or am I confused about memory pools and Apache configuration phase passes?
(quite likely :o))
Prior to this thread, I had needed to keep this state myself and so I
reworked my previously posted macros into something which could just as
easily be made a generic function. It is included below, but not well
tested. If any of the comments below are incorrect, I'd be thrilled if
someone would correct me.
Thanks.
