Hello,
My name is Bianca and I am working on ATS plugin. Currently our plugin relies on ATS configuration framework and its configuration parameters are added to records.config file. In order to do so every time we add a new configuration parameter, we have to go to RecordsConfig.cc file and manually add the parameter to the RecordsConfig array. In this workflow we need to compile the ATS each time. After a small investigation we found RecRegisterConfig<Type> functions in I_RecCore.h. If we understood correctly these functions add the parameter and its type "on the fly" instead of having to add it to the static array. We are calling these functions once our plugin is loaded and everything is working as expected. We would like to consult with you regarding two things: 1. Maybe these functions worth adding to ATS API and if so, what is the best way to do so in your opinion? Add wrapper functions to API, calling the original ones? Maybe some other way you find more suitable? 2. In order to be able to use these functions we had to split I_RecDefs.h file into two parts: I_RecDefs.h and I_RecDefs_common.h where I_RecDefs_common.h holds all the data types passed to the RecRegisterConfig<Type> functions. This was done in order to not add new enums and avoid mismatch bugs likely to happen in such cases. This I_RecDefs_common.h file is included from ts.h file. Is it ok to do so or should we define "wrappers" in the ts.h file. I hope I was able to explain myself. Thank you in advance, Bianca BIANCA COOPER Software Engineer II SECURITY SOFTWARE WEBSENSE ISRAEL LTD. ph: +972.9.776.0241 fax: www.websense.com<http://www.websense.com> Websense TRITON(tm) For Essential Information Protection(tm) Web Security<http://www.websense.com/content/WebSecurityOverview.aspx> | Data Security<http://www.websense.com/content/DataSecurity.aspx> | Email Security<http://www.websense.com/content/MessagingSecurity.aspx> Protected by Websense Hosted Email Security -- www.websense.com
