2013-08-30Fix graceful shutdown crash.David M. Lee
The cleanup code for optional_api needs to happen after all of the optional API users and providers have unused/unprovided. Unfortunately, regsitering the atexit() handler at the beginning of main() isn't soon enough, since module destructors run after that. ........

2013-08-30optional_api: Fix linking problems between modules that export global symbolsDavid M. Lee
With the new work in Asterisk 12, there are some uses of the optional_api that are prone to failure. The details are rather involved, and captured on [the wiki][1]. This patch addresses the issue by removing almost all of the magic from the optional API implementation. Instead of relying on weak symbol resolution, a new optional_api.c module was added to Asterisk core. For modules providing an optional API, the pointer to the implementation function is registered with the core. For modules that use an optional API, a pointer to a stub function, along with a optional_ref function pointer are registered with the core. The optional_ref function pointers is set to the implementation function when it's provided, or the stub function when it's now. Since the implementation no longer relies on magic, it is now supported on all platforms. In the spirit of choice, an OPTIONAL_API flag was added, so we can disable the optional_api if needed (maybe it's buggy on some bizarre platform I haven't tested on) The AST_OPTIONAL_API*() macros themselves remained unchanged, so existing code could remain unchanged. But to help with debugging the optional_api, the patch limits the #include of optional API's to just the modules using the API. This also reduces resource waste maintaining optional_ref pointers that aren't used. Other changes made as a part of this patch: * The stubs for http_websocket that wrap system calls set errno to ENOSYS. * res_http_websocket now properly increments module use count. * In loader.c, the while() wrappers around dlclose() were removed. The while(!dlclose()) is actually an anti-pattern, which can lead to infinite loops if the module you're attempting to unload exports a symbol that was directly linked to. * The special handling of nonoptreq on systems without weak symbol support was removed, since we no longer rely on weak symbols for optional_api.

2012-01-30Address OpenSSL initialization issues when using third-party libraries.Kevin P. Fleming
When Asterisk is used with various third-party libraries (CURL, PostgresSQL, many others) that have the ability themselves to use OpenSSL, it is possible for conflicts to arise in how the OpenSSL libraries are initialized and shutdown. This patch addresses these conflicts by 'wrapping' the important functions from the OpenSSL libraries in a new shared library that is part of Asterisk itself, and is loaded in such a way as to ensure that *all* calls to these functions will be dispatched through the Asterisk wrapper functions, not the native functions. This new library is optional, but enabled by default. See the CHANGES file for documentation on how to disable it. Along the way, this patch also makes a few other minor changes: * Changes MODULES_DIR to ASTMODDIR throughout the build system, in order to more closely match what is used during run-time configuration. * Corrects some errors in the configure script where AC_CHECK_TOOLS was used instead of AC_PATH_PROG. * Adds a new variable for linker flags in the build system (DYLINK), used for producing true shared libraries (as opposed to the dynamically loadable modules that the build system produces for 'regular' Asterisk modules). * Moves the Makefile bits that handle installation and uninstallation of the main Asterisk binary into main/Makefile from the top-level Makefile. * Moves a couple of useful preprocessor macros from optional_api.h to asterisk.h.

2009-06-15Redesigned 'optional API' support.Kevin P. Fleming
This patch provides a new implementation of the optional API support defined in asterisk/optional_api.h; this new version provides solves compatibility issues with the use of linker version scripts for suppressing global symbols. In addition, there is now a functional (and tested!) implementation for Mac OS/X, so module writers no longer need to use special tests before calling optional API functions. All future implementations must provide these same semantics, so that module writers can rely on them. git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@200519 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3
