Convert most of the remaining options that benefit from being StringIds. Since all the command modules can include config.h directly it makes sense to auto-generate these values instead of manually creating an enum for each one.
For the time being StringIds are not being auto-generated because the StringId code does not exist in Perl. However, the *_Z zero-terminated constants for each allowed option value are now auto-generated.
These are rarely used and end up using more space than they save since most of them are never referenced.
Replace VARSTR() with VARSTRDEF() where these constants are being used.
Data required for parsing was spread between the config and defined modules, mostly for historical reasons because the same data was used by Perl.
Requiring all the parse rules to be accessed with function interfaces makes the code more complicated and new rules harder to implement.
Instead, move the data to the parse module so in the most complex cases no interface functions are needed. This reduces the total amount of code and paves the way for more complex parse rules.
The help data can be represented more compactly in a pack and this separates data needed for help from data needed for parsing, freeing each to have a more appropriate representation.
Refactor the code to allow a dynamic number of indexes for indexed options, e.g. pg-path. Our reliance on getopt_long() still limits the number of indexes we can have per group, but once this limitation is removed the rest of the code should be happy with dynamic numbers of indexes (with a reasonable maximum).
Add an option to set a default in each group. This was previously handled by the host-id option but now there is a specific option for each group, pg and repo. These remain internal until they can be fully tested with multi-repo support. They are fully tested for internal usage.
Remove the ConfigDefineOption enum and use the ConfigOption enum instead. They are now equal since the indexed options (e.g. cfgOptRepoHost2) have been removed from ConfigOption.
Remove the config/config test module and add required tests to the config/parse test module. Parsing is now the only way to load a config so this removes some redundancy.
Split new internal config structures and functions into a new header file, config.intern.h. More functions will need to be moved over from config.h but that will need to be done in a future commit to reduce churn.
Add repoIdx to repoIsLocal() and storageRepo*(). Multi-repository support requires that repo locality and storage be accessible by index. This allows, for example, multiple repos to be iterated in a loop. This could be done in a separate commit but doesn't seem worth it since the code is related.
Remove the type parameter from storageRepoGet(). This parameter existed solely to provide coverage for the case where the storage type was invalid. A better pattern is to check that the type is S3 once all other types have been ruled out.
These constants don't scale well as the index total is increased for an option.
The core code rarely uses these options and they are easily replaced with cfgOptionName().
The tests had started to make use of the constants, so provide functions that build the option name from the optionId and, optionally, the optionKey.
Group related options together so operations (e.g. valid, test, index total) can be performed on all options in the group.
Previously, options at the top of the hierarchy of the related options were used to do these tests. This was prone to error as option relationships changed and it was not always clear which option (or options) should be used.
The primary source for project info is now src/version.h.
The pgBackRestDoc::ProjectInfo module loads the project info from src/version.h at runtime so there is no need to update it.
This is consistent with the way BackRest and BackRest test were renamed way back in 18fd2523.
More modules will be moving to pgBackRestDoc soon so renaming now reduces churn later.
This directory was once the home of the production Perl code but since f0ef73db this is no longer true.
Move the modules to test in most cases, except where the module is expected to be useful for the doc engine beyond the expected lifetime of the Perl test code (about a year if all goes well).
The exception is pgBackRest::Version which requires more work to migrate since it is used to track pgBackRest versions.
The local, remote, archive-get-async, and archive-push-async commands were used to run functionality that was not directly available to the user. Unfortunately that meant they would not pick up options from the command that the user expected, e.g. backup, archive-get, etc.
Remove the internal commands and add roles which allow pgBackRest to determine what functionality is required without implementing special commands. This way the options are loaded from the expected command section.
Since remote is no longer a specific command with its own options, more manipulation is required when calling remote. This might be something we can improve in the config system but it may be worth leaving as is because it is a one-off, for now at least.
Allow commands to be skipped by default in the command help but still work if help is requested for the command directly. There may be other uses for the flag in the future.
Update help for ls now that it is exposed.
These constants are easier than using cfgOptionName() and cfgCommandName() and lead to cleaner code and simpler to construct messages.
String versions are provided. Eventually all the strings will be used in the config structures, but for now they are useful to avoid wrapping with strNew().
When a repository server is configured, commands that modify the repository acquire a remote lock as well as a local lock for extra protection against multiple writers.
Instead of the custom logic used in Perl, make remote locking part of the command configuration.
This also means that the C remote needs the stanza since it is used to construct the lock name. We may need to revisit this at a later date.
This behavior allowed a command like this to run without error:
pgbackrest backup --stanza=db full
Even though it actually performed an incremental backup in most circumstances because the `full` parameter was ignored.
Instead, output an error and exit.
Suggested by Jason O'Donnell.
Now only two types of locks can be taken: archive and backup. Most commands use one or the other but the stanza-* commands acquire both locks. This provides better protection than the old command-based locking scheme.
Move command begin to C except when it must be called after another command in Perl (e.g. expire after backup). Command begin logs correctly for complex data types like hash and list. Specify which commands will log to file immediately and set the default log level for log messages that are common to all commands. File logging is initiated from C.
db-path was the only option with a hint so the feature seemed wasteful. All missing stanza options now output the same hint without needing configuration.
