I'd like to make the cachemgrRegister calls in various of our fooInit() calls not require dragging in the whole squid to the binary, this is part of the blow-out on linked in objects for squid.
Secondly, I'd like to remove the idea of the cachemanager being a global object and make it be explicitly passed in when it exists. We discussed this somewhat on irc. Some possibilities: Assuming we have a CacheManager class with 'register' and 'unregister' virtual methods, we could: * add that as a parameter to the Init calls where this is desirable. * Have a separate call from Init in modules which asks the module to register all its menu items with a supplied CacheManager. I prefer the second option, as it makes the behaviour of init more occupied with 'what is required to use a module' rather than 'do everything that /squid/ needs done before running that is related to this module.' Henrik is concerned that this will increase the maintenance cost of main(), which is possibly true, but I think we can address that in future if needed, i.e. by a registry of the modules with a few functions like 'init', 'registerWithCacheManger' etc. Thoughts?
