Introduction

Here's a link to current and past "playpen" projects where various bits of experimentation is going on.

sockaddr_change

• Link: http://code.google.com/p/cacheboy/source/list?path=/playpen/sockaddr_change
• Overview: Introduce IPv4/IPv6 agnostic types and code into selected parts of the Squid core whilst maintaining the IPv4-only Squid src/ code.
• Status: Complete; merged (link?)

http_work

• Link: http://code.google.com/p/cacheboy/source/list?path=/playpen/http_work

First stage

• Overview: reorganise the HTTP parser related code into libhttp/ in preparation for a partial rewrite
• Status: Complete; merged (link?)

Second stage

• Overview: optimise the header parser by introducing a Vector type and allocating header entries out of that rather than malloc'ing each individually
• Status: Complete; writing unit tests

mempools

• Link: http://code.google.com/p/cacheboy/source/list?path=/playpen/mempools
• Overview: remove the caching part of mempools, turning it into just an allocator wrapper w/ statistics
• Status: Complete; not merged

string_work

• Link: http://code.google.com/p/cacheboy/source/list?path=/playpen/string_work
• Overview: tidy up the use of String in Squid in preparation for a more sensible string library
• Status: complete; not merged

hash_work

• Link: http://code.google.com/p/cacheboy/source/list?path=/playpen/hash_work
• Overview: Implement a hash table which doesn't require text data as the hash key
• Overview
• Status: In progress

ipv6 dns

• Link: http://code.google.com/p/cacheboy/source/list?path=/playpen/ipv6_dns
• Overview: implement IPv6 support in the internal DNS code
• Status: Completed basic stuff

ipv6_acl

• Link: http://code.google.com/p/cacheboy/source/list?path=/playpen/ipv6_acl
