[Nagios-users] Revamp of lib/worker.c
I know it's fairly late in the dev cycle, but the current status of lib/worker.c simply isn't maintainable enough. Among the several problems with it are: * spawn_worker() makes assumptions on how the worker manager wants to store the jobs it has sent to the worker. * More types than necessary are made public, which makes patching and minor feature addition close to impossible. * There is no common prefix used for functions and types, making it hard to remember which functions are public and which are private. * It's hard to test since it ties in pretty hard with the Nagios code. I'll be doing quite an extensive revamp over the next few days in order to address these issues. This means base/workers.c will also sustain heavy surgery. If you're writing or have written modules or special-purpose workers that rely on any of the code about to be chainsaw-operated on, please let me know asap, and I'll do what I can to make sure your stuff keeps working. Be quick though, cause this needs to be done sharpish.
