Flood?

[Lex Yakker <ya...@rediffmail.com>]

Hi,

I notice that the last release of the "flood" utility was in 2002. I had to make some trivial changes to get it to compile with my installation of apache 2.0.49 (include apr_poll.h, add an argument to the call to apr_poll).

Now, it compiles but segfaults immediately, even with the example
scripts.

Is someone still maintaining this utility? Is there an interest in getting it working again, or giving it an overhaul? Or are their other tools for profile oriented benchmarking that are used as alternatives?

I'd be happy to audit the code, if necessary.

regards,
lex

First of all: you have picked up a wrong list. Next time please post to
test-dev@httpd.apache.org (you might want to subscribe before posting as it is
moderated IIRC).

Last release is old indeed. You might want to use CVS, as code there is a lot
better (fixes, extensions) and see if the problem persists.

Current CVS code runs fine for me. See if you can get core file, and backtrace
out of it. You can post it to test-dev@httpd, which could help us track the
problem.

Well... Everybody (including me) seem to be swamped with other activities.
However, If you find a problem, then please post details (backtraces, patches)
to test-dev@httpd. Hopefully, somebody will have enough time to help you out.

Yeah, that would be great. Please feel free to post patches to test-dev@httpd.
You might want to take look at http://httpd.apache.org/dev/patches.html. It is
for httpd project, but most issues apply anyway.
