ast_variable_retrieve currently returns the first match for a variable, as opposed to the last one. This is problematic because modules that load config settings by explicitly calling ast_variable_retrieve on a variable name (as opposed to iterating through all the directives as specified) will end up taking the first specified value, such as the default value from the template rather than the actual effective value in an individual config section, leading to the wrong config. This fixes this by making ast_variable_retrieve return the last match, or the most recently overridden one, as the effective setting. This is similar to what the -1 index in the AST_CONFIG function does. There is another function, ast_variable_find_last_in_list, that does something similar. However, it's a slightly different API, and it sees virtually no usage in Asterisk. ast_variable_retrieve is what most things use so this is currently the relevant point of breakage. In practice, this is unlikely to cause any breakage, since there would be no logical reason to use an inherited value rather than an explicitly overridden value when loading a config. ASTERISK-30370 #close Resolves: #244 UpgradeNote: Config variables retrieved explicitly by name now return the most recently overriding value as opposed to the base value (e.g. from a template). This is equivalent to retrieving a config setting using the -1 index to the AST_CONFIG function. The major implication of this is that modules processing configs by explicitly retrieving variables by name will now get the effective value of a variable as overridden in a config rather than the first-set value (from a template), which is consistent with how other modules load config settings.pull/1025/head
