Hello there, I've been working in a C application witch uses many of RRDTool features. The rrdtool is GREAT, but the library API is poor...
There are some features missing (such as rrd_info) and a better control of all library calls, error reporting and so on. Some internal functions are defined at rrd.h, and i guess it should be somewhere else (shouldnt be at the scope of library api...). The excelent documentation of the rrdtool command contrasts with an almost missing C API documentation. I also need simultaneous acces to the databases from different processes, so it would be good if we had some file locking mechanism in the library (is LockRRD() supposed to do this? i still didnt readed its source to find out...). Well, what i am trying to tell is that besides rrdtool is a very powerfull tool, the library is poor in many aspects. I have a lot of experience with C programming, autoconf, automake etc etc etc, and i am proposing for me to rewrite/write a full featured clean C API for rrdtool, all usable in multi-threade environments. The point is, it will be almost useless if i do such a thing, and it do not go into oficial version. How do u guys appreciate my proposal? Do it interest the rest of the developers (specially Tobi)? If I get an OK from u, i'll start coding my plans, and then send a diff for u to have a look. hope u like my idea. -- Fabio Pugliese Ornellas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MT4 Tecnologia www.mt4.com.br (11)3064-3226 -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/rrd-developers WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
