5 DEFERRRED FOR APACHE 2.1
7 * Source code should follow style guidelines.
8 OK, we all agree pretty code is good. Probably best to clean this
9 up by hand immediately upon branching a 2.1 tree.
10 Status: Justin volunteers to hand-edit the entire source tree ;)
13 Recall when the release plan for 2.0 was written:
14 Absolute Enforcement of an "Apache Style" for code.
15 Watch this slip into 3.0.
18 The style guide needs to be reviewed before this can be done.
19 http://dev.apache.org/styleguide.html
20 The current file is dated April 20th 1998!
21 Also the file should be moved to the correct location for
22 future use. Q: should APR have it's own copy as well?
24 * revamp the input filter syntax to provide for ordering of
25 filters created with the Set{Input|Output}Filter and the
26 Add{Input|Output}Filter directives. A 'relative to filterx'
27 syntax is definately preferable, but not realistic for 2.0.
29 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400)
30 Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules
31 in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork.
32 Better yet - not only inform the startup of which phase it's in,
33 but allow the parent 'process' to initialize shared memory, etc,
34 and create a module-by-module stream to pass to the child, so the
35 parent can actually arbitrate the important stuff.
37 * Replace stat [deferred open] with open/fstat in directory_walk.
38 Justin, Ian, OtherBill all interested in this. Implies setting up
39 the apr_file_t member in request_rec, and having all modules use
40 that file, and allow the cleanup to close it [if it isn't a shared,
43 * Refactor auth into auth protocols and auth database stores.
44 Many interested hackers, too destabilizing for 2.0 inclusion.
46 DEFERRRED FOR APACHE 3.0
48 * The Async Apache Server implemented in terms of APR.
49 [Bill Stoddard's pet project.]
50 Message-ID: <008301c17d42$9b446970$01000100@sashimi> (dev@apr)
52 * Add a string "class" that combines a char* with a length
53 and a reference count. This will help reduce the number
54 of strlen and strdup operations during request processing.
55 Including both the length and allocation will save us a ton
56 of reallocation we do today, in terms of string manipulation.
