|
* \brief Optional API function macros
|
|
*
|
|
* Some Asterisk API functions are provided by loadable modules, thus,
|
|
* they may or may not be available at run time depending on whether the
|
|
* providing module has been loaded or not. In addition, there are some
|
|
* modules that are consumers of these APIs that *optionally* use them; they
|
|
* have only a part of their functionality dependent on the APIs, and can
|
|
* provide the remainder even if the APIs are not available.
|
|
*
|
|
* To accomodate this situation, the AST_OPTIONAL_API macro allows an API
|
|
* function to be declared in a special way, if Asterisk being built on a
|
|
* platform that supports the GCC 'weak' and 'alias' attributes. If so,
|
|
* the API function is actually a weak symbol, which means if the provider
|
|
* of the API is not loaded, the symbol can still be referenced (unlike a
|
|
* strong symbol, which would cause an immediate fault if not defined when
|
|
* referenced), but it will return NULL signifying the linker/loader was
|
|
* not able to resolve the symbol. In addition, the macro defines a hidden
|
|
* 'stub' version of the API call, using a provided function body, and uses
|
|
* the alias attribute to make the API function symbol actually resolve to
|
|
* that hidden stub, but only when the *real* provider of the symbol has
|
|
* not been found.
|
|
*
|
|
* An example can be found in agi.h:
|
|
*
|
|
* \code
|
|
* AST_OPTIONAL_API(int, ast_agi_register, (struct ast_module *mod, agi_command *cmd),
|
|
* { return AST_OPTIONAL_API_UNAVAILABLE; });
|
|
* \endcode
|
|
*
|
|
* This defines the 'ast_agi_register' function as an optional API; if a
|
|
* consumer of this API is loaded when there is no provider of it, then
|
|
* calling this function will actually call the hidden stub, and return
|
|
* the value AST_OPTIONAL_API_UNAVAILABLE. This allows the consumer to
|
|
* safely know that the API is not available, and to avoid using any
|
|
* other APIs from the not-present provider.
|
|
*
|
|
* In the module providing the API, the AST_OPTIONAL_API macro must
|
|
* be informed that it should not build the hidden stub function or
|
|
* apply special aliases to the function prototype; this can be done
|
|
* by defining AST_API_MODULE just before including the header file
|
|
* containing the AST_OPTIONAL_API macro calls.
|
|
*
|
|
* \note If the GCC 'weak' and 'alias' attributes are not available,
|
|
* then the AST_OPTIONAL_API macro will result in a non-optional function
|
|
* definition; this means that any consumers of the API functions so
|
|
* defined will require that the provider of the API functions be
|
|
* loaded before they can reference the symbols.
