[Nagios-devel] Multithreaded Macro Support Wrapper (failure)
Posted: Wed Aug 26, 2009 4:19 pm
I am sad to report that my attempt at multi-threading the current macro sys=
tem did not succeed.
However valuable lessons were learned in the process.
My previous approach of creating a couple of functions and placng mutexs on=
them was not sufficient.
Each thread is going to end up needing it's own isolated macro system for t=
he current system to work.
My new approach will be similar in some respects except that there will be =
thread specific versions of each macro, something along the lines of...
macro_x[tid][MACRO_NAME]
It's not a permanent solution, but I believe it will work and it's clean wi=
thout requiring another refactor.
Furthermore, it should port to the 3x branch without much trouble at all, j=
ust a simple search and replace.
I'll let you know how it works out.
Sincerely,
Steve
