mod_rewrite and and mod_cgid need to know when Apache restarts itself, so they won't perform the same thing more than once. Other modules need this functionality as well (Glen suggested macros to do that). Instead of copying the hack around and having each module stash its data into the main server pool, here is a new API which tells the module how many times httpd.conf was parsed, performing this work only once. I've adjusted mod_rewrite and and mod_cgid to use it. Feel free to suggested a better name than ap_config_read_cnt.
+1 in concept. Although I must admit I fail to see the use of knowing how many times the config was parsed exactly. Knowing if it was the first time seems to be the most interesting.
Because I thought that this will be able to account for additional parsing times when -k 'stop|graceful|restart' is called. As I've posted in another thread that didn't work. If it did you could make these judgements:
0 - first time 1 - apache now started 2+ - apache is either being restarted or shut down
