I'm researching ways of updating a signature database on-the-fly, so the way clamAV does it, can really help me out... I mean, what structures are there? how is it implemented? Is there a data structure used to store the signatures on memory? If so, how exactly is it updated? what type of data structure? dynamic or static? I need to know if you guys use a pointer to the structure, and then just set it to point to the new updated structure, and if for example, there's a condition, that limits when this pointer can be changed...like a thread needing to finish first....
I tried to look for the implementation on the code itself...but it's so big...i don't know in which file to look =/ Thank you very much, for the help Thyago _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-devel.html Please submit your patches to our Bugzilla: http://bugs.clamav.net
