George Joseph	62282bb8ce	res_odbc: Fix exports.in for missing symbols ... res_odbc.exports.in was missing a few symbols. Changed to wildcards. Change-Id: Ieadd76df24e43ea92577f651d478a0f7b742c30c	10 years ago
Mark Michelson	9714da7aa4	res_odbc: Remove connection management ... Asterisk by default will create a single database connection and share it among all threads that attempt to access the database. In previous versions of Asterisk, this was tolerable, because the most used channel driver, chan_sip, mostly accessed the database from a single thread. With PJSIP, however, many threads may be attempting to perform database operations, and there is the potential for many more database accesses, meaning the concurrency is a horrible bottleneck if only one connection is shared. Asterisk has a connection pooling facility built into it, but the implementation has flaws. For one, there is a strict limit on the number of simultaneous connections that could be made to the database. Anything beyond the maximum would result in a failed operation. Attempting to predict what the maximum should be is nearly impossible even for someone intimately familiar with Asterisk's threading model. In addition, use of transactions in the dialplan can cause some severe bugs if connection pooling is enabled. This commit seeks to fix the concurrency problem by removing all connection management code from Asterisk and leaving that to the underlying unixODBC code instead. Now, Asterisk does not share a single connection, nor does it try to maintain a connection pool. Instead, all Asterisk ever does is request a connection from unixODBC and allow unixODBC to either allocate those connections or retrieve them from a pool. Doing this has a bit of a ripple effect. For one, since connections are not long-lived objects, several of the safeguards that previously existed have been removed. We don't have to worry about trying to use a connection that has gone stale. In every case, when we request a connection, it has just been made and we don't need to perform any sanity checks to be sure it's still active. Another major player affected by this change is transactions. Transactions and their respective connections were so tightly coupled that it was almost pornographic. This code change moves transaction-related code to its own file separate from the core ODBC functionality. This way, the core of ODBC does not even have to know that transactions exist. In making this large change, I had to look at a lot of code and understand it. When making this change, I discovered several places where the behavior is definitely not ideal, but it seemed outside the scope of this change to be fixing it. Instead, any place where I saw some sort of room for improvement has had a XXX comment added explaining what could be altered to improve it.

Kevin P. Fleming	2be88e05c0	Allow symbol export filtering to work properly on platforms that have symbol prefixes. ... Some platforms prefix externally-visible symbols in object files generated from C sources (most commonly, '_' is the prefix). On these platforms, the existing symbol export filtering process ends up suppressing all the symbols that are supposed to be left visible. This patch allows the prefix string to be supplied to the top-level Makefile in the LINKER_SYMBOL_PREFIX variable, and then generates the linker scripts as required to include the prefix supplied. git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@255906 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3	16 years ago
