 11 Dec 2018, Stefan Ritt, Info, Partial refactoring of ODB code
|
All makes sense to me. I agree to proceed with the refactoring.
One additional comment: In the 90's when I developed this code, locking was expensive. On a decent computer you could do a couple of thousand lock operations |

In this technical note, I write down the workings of the midas event buffer code, the path
that events travel from the frontend to the SYSTEM buffer to mlogger (and to disk).

10 Jan 2019, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, removal of cm_watchdog()
|
cm_watchdog() has been removed from the latest midas sources. The watchdog functions performed by cm_watchdog() were
moved to cm_yield() - those are - maintaining odb and event buffer "last active" timestamps and checking for and removing of
timed-out clients.

It turns out the bitbucket issue tracker has a feature - I cannot make it automatically add me
