APR as a shared library?

[David Reid <dr...@jetnet.co.uk>]

Are we doing this yet?  If not can we add it to the list for the hackathon?

ah!  greg, hi!  libmm - fascinating.

just the sort of thing that elrond, sander and i wanted to wrap with sms
(smart/stackable memory system).  thanks.

would you be happy with a memory-management API that DSOs memory
modules?  and is stackable?

so, if you run into portability issues one particular OS that _really_
can't do libmm, you can decide at runtime to use another approach?

apr_sms_memsys_t *m;
apr_status_t s = apr_sms_create("sms-libmm", &m);

if (s != OK)
	/* whoops, no sms libmm available */
	s = apr_sms_create(NULL, &m); /* get a standard malloc/free-er


issue on APR - is it namespace clean, yet? does _everything_ start with
apr_xxx..?

allbest,

luke

For Subversion, we want this, too. We've actually run into problems lately
because APR doesn't respond to "make install" and install its libraries.
Moreover, it doesn't install its embedded libmm library, either.

One of the topics at the Hackathon is shared memory. I'd be happy to toss
libmm so that APR's install is a bit cleaner.

[ but it brings up the question of what kind of portability libmm brings to
  the table; I recognize we don't use much of the functionality on top of
  that, but the underlying portability work means we don't have to dup it
  into APR. ]

Add it to the list.  We gotta get this done.
