In the old times media formats were represented using a bit field. This was
fast but had a few limitations.
1. Asterisk was limited in how many formats it could handle.
2. Formats, being a bit field, could not include any attribute information.
A format was strictly its type, e.g., "this is ulaw".
This was changed in Asterisk 10 (see
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Media+Architecture+Proposal for
notes on that work) which led to the creation of the ast_format structure.
This structure allowed Asterisk to handle attributes and bundle information
with a format.
Additionally, ast_format_cap was created to act as a container for multiple
formats that, together, formed the capability of some entity. Another
mechanism was added to allow logic to be registered which performed format
attribute negotiation. Everywhere throughout the codebase Asterisk was
changed to use this strategy.
Unfortunately, in software, there is no free lunch. These new capabilities
came at a cost.
Performance analysis and profiling showed that we spend an inordinate
amount of time comparing, copying, and generally manipulating formats and
their related structures. Basic prototyping has shown that a reasonably
large performance improvement could be made in this area. This patch is the
result of that project, which overhauled the media format architecture
and its usage in Asterisk to improve performance.
Generally, the new philosophy for handling formats is as follows:
* The ast_format structure is reference counted. This removed a large amount
of the memory allocations and copying that was done in prior versions.
* In order to prevent race conditions while keeping things performant, the
ast_format structure is immutable by convention and lock-free. Violate this
tenet at your peril!
* Because formats are reference counted, codecs are also reference counted.
The Asterisk core generally provides built-in codecs and caches the
ast_format structures created to represent them. Generally, to prevent
inordinate amounts of module reference bumping, codecs and formats can be
added at run-time but cannot be removed.
* All compatibility with the bit field representation of codecs/formats has
been moved to a compatibility API. The primary user of this representation
is chan_iax2, which must continue to maintain its bit-field usage of formats
for interoperability concerns.
* When a format is negotiated with attributes, or when a format cannot be
represented by one of the cached formats, a new format object is created or
cloned from an existing format. That format may have the same codec
underlying it, but is a different format than a version of the format with
different attributes or without attributes.
* While formats are reference counted objects, the reference count maintained
on the format should be manipulated with care. Formats are generally cached
and will persist for the lifetime of Asterisk and do not explicitly need
to have their lifetime modified. An exception to this is when the user of a
format does not know where the format came from *and* the user may outlive
the provider of the format. This occurs, for example, when a format is read
from a channel: the channel may have a format with attributes (hence,
non-cached) and the user of the format may last longer than the channel (if
the reference to the channel is released prior to the format's reference).

Finally, this work was the culmination of a large number of developer's
efforts. Extra thanks goes to Corey Farrell, who took on a large amount of the
work in the Asterisk core, chan_sip, and was an invaluable resource in peer
reviews throughout this project.
There were a substantial number of patches contributed during this work; the
following issues/patch names simply reflect some of the work (and will cause
the release scripts to give attribution to the individuals who work on them).

The config options test requires the entire configuration item to be transparent from
the documentation system. So we let it do that too.
As an aside, please do not use this power for evil. Documentation is your friend, and
you really should document your configurations. Hiding your module's configuration
information from the system attempting to enforce some sanity in the universe is something
only a Bond villain would contemplate.

There are times when a configuration option should not have documentation.
1. Some options are registered with a particular object merely as a warning to
users. These options aren't even really 'deprecated' - which has its own
separate API call - they are actually provided by a different configuration
file. The options are merely registered so that the user gets a warning that
a different configuration file provides the item.
2. Some object types - most notably some used by modules that use sorcery - are
completely internal and should never be shown to the user.
3. Sorcery itself has several 'hidden' fields that should never be shown to a
user.
This patch updates the configuration framework and sorcery with additional API
calls that allow a module to register types as internal and options as not
requiring documentation. This bypasses the XML documentation checking.
This patch also re-enables the strict XML documentation checking in trunk, as
well as updates some documentation that was missing.

The ill conceived chan_agent is no more. It is now replaced by
app_agent_pool.
Agents login using the AgentLogin() application as before. The
AgentLogin() application no longer does any authentication.
Authentication is now the responsibility of the dialplan. (Besides, the
authentication done by chan_agent did not match what the voice prompts
asked for.)
Sample extensions.conf
[login]
; Sample agent 1001 login
; Set COLP for in between calls so the agent does not see the last caller COLP.
exten => 1001,1,Set(CONNECTEDLINE(all)="Agent Waiting" <1001>)
; Give the agent DTMF transfer and disconnect features when connected to a caller.
same => n,Set(CHANNEL(dtmf-features)=TX)
same => n,AgentLogin(1001)
same => n,NoOp(AGENT_STATUS is ${AGENT_STATUS})
same => n,Hangup()
[caller]
; Sample caller direct connect to agent 1001
exten => 800,1,AgentRequest(1001)
same => n,NoOp(AGENT_STATUS is ${AGENT_STATUS})
same => n,Hangup()
; Sample caller going through a Queue to agent 1001
exten => 900,1,Queue(agent_q)
same => n,Hangup()
Sample queues.conf
[agent_q]
member => Local/800@caller,,SuperAgent,Agent:1001
Under the hood operation overview:
1) Logged in agents wait for callers in an agents holding bridge.
2) Caller requests an agent using AgentRequest()
3) A basic bridge is created, the agent is notified, and caller joins the
basic bridge to wait for the agent.
4) The agent is either automatically connected to the caller or must ack
the call to connect.
5) The agent is moved from the agents holding bridge to the basic bridge.
6) The agent and caller talk.
7) The connection is ended by either party.
8) The agent goes back to the agents holding bridge.
To avoid some locking issues with the agent holding bridge, I needed to
make some changes to the after bridge callback support. The after bridge
callback is now a list of requested callbacks with the last to be added
the only active callback. The after bridge callback for failed callbacks
will always happen in the channel thread when the channel leaves the
bridging system or is destroyed.

Add config framework OPT_CHAR_ARRAY_T and OPT_STRINGFIELD_T non-empty
requirement option. There are cases were you don't want a config option
string to be empty. To require the option string to be non-empty, just
set the aco_option_register() flags parameter to non-zero.
* Updated some config framework enum aco_option_type comments.

This uses the channel state change events from Stasis-Core to determine
when channel-related CEL events should be raised. Those refactored in
this patch are:
* AST_CEL_CHANNEL_START
* AST_CEL_ANSWER
* AST_CEL_APP_START
* AST_CEL_APP_END
* AST_CEL_HANGUP
* AST_CEL_CHANNEL_END
Retirement of Linked IDs is also refactored.
CEL configuration has been refactored to use the config framework.
Note: Some HANGUP events are not generated correctly because the bridge
layer does not propagate hangupcause/hangupsource information yet.

This patch allows a module to define its configuration in XML in source, such
that it can be parsed by the XML documentation engine. Documentation is
generated in a two-pass approach:
1. The documentation is first generated from the XML pulled from the source
2. The documentation is then enhanced by the registration of configuration
options that use the configuration framework
This patch include configuration documentation for the following modules:
* chan_motif
* res_xmpp
* app_confbridge
* app_skel
* udptl
Two new CLI commands have been added:
* config show help - show configuration help by module, category, and item
* xmldoc dump - dump the in-memory representation of the XML documentation to
a new XML file.

Allows the setting of flags via the config options api.
For example, code like this:
#define OPT1 1 << 0
#define OPT2 1 << 1
#define OPT3 1 << 2
struct thing {
unsigned int flags;
};
and a config like this:
[blah]
opt1=yes
opt2=no
opt3=yes
