As discussed on the call, let’s continue discussion on the mailer.
My RFC patch is at: https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/4824/
copy/paste from commit log:
======
This patch replaces requirement for vlib_plugin_register function
in the plugin so file and introduces new macro:
VLIB_PLUGIN_REGISTER () = {
.version = "version string",
.version_required = "requred version",
.default_disabled = 1,
.early_init = "early_init_function_name",
};
Plugin will nor be loaded if .default_disabled is set to 1
unless explicitely enabled in startup.conf.
If .verstion_required is set, plugin will not be loaded if there
is version mismatch between plugin and vpp. This can be bypassed
by setting "skip-version-check" for specific plugin.
If .early-init string is present, plugin loader will try to resolve
this specific symbol in the plugin namespace and make a function call.
Following startup.conf configuration is added:
plugins {
path /path/to/plugin/directory
plugin ila_plugin.so { enable skip-version-check }
plugin acl_plugin.so { disable }
}
