What's wrong with ast_debug?
ast_debug is fine for general purpose debug output but it's not
really geared for scope tracing since it doesn't present its
output in a way that makes capturing and analyzing flow through
Asterisk easy.
How is scope tracing better?
Scope tracing uses the same "cleanup" attribute that RAII_VAR
uses to print messages to a separate "trace" log level. Even
better, the messages are indented and unindented based on a
thread-local call depth counter. When output to a separate log
file, the output is uncluttered and easy to follow.
Here's an example of the output. The leading timestamps and
thread ids are removed and the output cut off at 68 columns for
commit message restrictions but you get the idea.
--> res_pjsip_session.c:3680 handle_incoming PJSIP/1173-00000001
--> res_pjsip_session.c:3661 handle_incoming_response PJSIP/1173
--> res_pjsip_session.c:3669 handle_incoming_response PJSIP/
--> chan_pjsip.c:3265 chan_pjsip_incoming_response_after
--> chan_pjsip.c:3194 chan_pjsip_incoming_response P
chan_pjsip.c:3245 chan_pjsip_incoming_respon
<-- chan_pjsip.c:3194 chan_pjsip_incoming_response P
<-- chan_pjsip.c:3265 chan_pjsip_incoming_response_after
<-- res_pjsip_session.c:3669 handle_incoming_response PJSIP/
<-- res_pjsip_session.c:3661 handle_incoming_response PJSIP/1173
<-- res_pjsip_session.c:3680 handle_incoming PJSIP/1173-00000001
The messages with the "-->" or "<--" were produced by including
the following at the top of each function:
SCOPE_TRACE(1, "%s\n", ast_sip_session_get_name(session));
Scope isn't limited to functions any more than RAII_VAR is. You
can also see entry and exit from "if", "for", "while", etc blocks.
There is also an ast_trace() macro that doesn't track entry or
exit but simply outputs a message to the trace log using the
current indent level. The deepest message in the sample
(chan_pjsip.c:3245) was used to indicate which "case" in a
"select" was executed.
How do you use it?
More documentation is available in logger.h but here's an overview:
* Configure with --enable-dev-mode. Like debug, scope tracing
is #ifdef'd out if devmode isn't enabled.
* Add a SCOPE_TRACE() call to the top of your function.
* Set a logger channel in logger.conf to output the "trace" level.
* Use the CLI (or cli.conf) to set a trace level similar to setting
debug level... CLI> core set trace 2 res_pjsip.so
Summary Of Changes:
* Added LOG_TRACE logger level. Actually it occupies the slot
formerly occupied by the now defunct "event" level.
* Added core asterisk option "trace" similar to debug. Includes
ability to specify global trace level in asterisk.conf and CLI
commands to turn on/off and set levels. Levels can be set
globally (probably not a good idea), or by module/source file.
* Updated sample asterisk.conf and logger.conf. Tracing is
disabled by default in both.
* Added __ast_trace() to logger.c which keeps track of the indent
level using TLS. It's #ifdef'd out if devmode isn't enabled.
* Added ast_trace() and SCOPE_TRACE() macros to logger.h.
These are all #ifdef'd out if devmode isn't enabled.
Why not use gcc's -finstrument-functions capability?
gcc's facility doesn't allow access to local data and doesn't
operate on non-function scopes.
Known Issues:
The only know issue is that we currently don't know the line
number where the scope exited. It's reported as the same place
the scope was entered. There's probably a way to get around it
but it might involve looking at the stack and doing an 'addr2line'
to get the line number. Kind of like ast_backtrace() does.
Not sure if it's worth it.

This change adds statistics gathering to Stasis topics,
subscriptions, and message types. These can be viewed using
CLI commands and provide insight into how Stasis is used
and how long certain operations take to execute.
These are only available when Asterisk is compiled in
developer mode and do not have any impact under normal
operation.

* dahdi_chan_name

* dahdi_chan_mode
* __manager_event
* dialed_interface_info
Added comment about __progname and environ being needed for FreeBSD to
prevent accidental removal in the future.
Change-Id: I3ae026bc541cd9cb572be2ffa95fc359547642b5
For all OSes:
* Disabled third-party codecs in pjproject and added
'--disable-speex-codec --disable-speex-aec --disable-gsm-codec' to the
configure options since we don't use the pjsip codec capability.
FreeBSD:
* Added FreeBSD support to install_prereq.
* Changed pjproject/configure.m4 to use $GNU_MAKE instead of hardcoding "make".
* Added __progname and environ to asterisk.exports.in.
* Reverted the use of ldconfig to create shared library symlinks to ln.
* Only enable epoll in pjproject if `uname -s` is Linux.
* Added a patch to pjproject to take the name of the 'make' command from
an environment variable if supplied. This is needed for the python bindings.
(merged by Teluu into pjproject trunk 5/3/2016)
FreeBSD support isn't complete. Still some general issues regarding
make/gmake having nothing to do with pjproject. With some handholding it DOES
build successfully.
CentOS:
Added 'patch' and 'bzip2' to install_prereq PACKAGES_RH.
CentOS 6/7 32/64 build and run the pjsip testsuite successfully.
Ubuntu:
No changes required.
Ubuntu 15/16 32/64 build and run the pjsip testsuite successfully.
Debian:
No changes required.
Debian 6/7/8 32/64 build and run the pjsip testsuite successfully.
There will utimately be a follow-up patch to create an install_prereq for
the testsuite as I've discovered a few missing requirements.

The --version-script,asterisk.exports linker flag (and the module
exports) didn't provide _IO_stdin_used in the list of exported symbols.
That causes some kind of libc compatibility mode to kick in, where
stdio file structures (stdout/stderr) land somewhere else. In the
case of the Sparc, they landed on misaligned memory.
This became apparent first after r376428 (Reorder startup sequence)
when a lot of ast_log's were replaced with fprintf's. Writing to
stderr triggered a SIGBUS. (Compared to x86 and amd64 architectures,
the Sparc is very picky about memory alignment.)

For the initial use of this bus, I took some work kmoore did creating
channel snapshots. So rather than create AMI events directly in the
channel code, this patch generates Stasis events, which manager.c uses
to then publish the AMI event.
This message bus provides a generic publish/subscribe mechanism within
Asterisk. This message bus is:
- Loosely coupled; new message types can be added in seperate modules.
- Easy to use; publishing and subscribing are straightforward
operations.
In addition to basic publish/subscribe, the patch also provides
mechanisms for message forwarding, and for message caching.

After 5 years in mantis and over a year on reviewboard, SRTP support is finally
being comitted. This includes generic CHANNEL dialplan functions that work for
getting the status of whether a call has secure media or signaling as defined
by the underlying channel technology and for setting whether or not a new
channel being bridged to a calling channel should have secure signaling or
media. See doc/tex/secure-calls.tex for examples.

Some platforms prefix externally-visible symbols in object files generated
from C sources (most commonly, '_' is the prefix). On these platforms,
the existing symbol export filtering process ends up suppressing all the symbols
that are supposed to be left visible. This patch allows the prefix string
to be supplied to the top-level Makefile in the LINKER_SYMBOL_PREFIX variable,
and then generates the linker scripts as required to include the prefix
supplied.
