             Summary: Refactor Proton C to eliminate the pn_dispatcher_t class
                 Key: PROTON-770
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-770
             Project: Qpid Proton
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Andrew Stitcher
            Assignee: Andrew Stitcher


The pn_dispatcher_t class has two intertwined purposes -
* To hold some temporary and scratch data used for processing incoming and outgoing frames.
* To dispatch incoming frames to frame handling code.

It turns out that the first purpose is overhead: The temporary data can be better passed as parameters to the code that is using it; The scratch data is duplicated and would be better put in the associated pn_transport_t which is where is ends up going anyway.

The second purpose turns out to boil down to 1 boolean and some code which can be handled differently. The boolean is to tell the dispatcher to stop.
