This commit moves the initialization of the globals.Types namespace to type.cpp
in order to keep a pointer to the Namespace object in Type::m_Namespace and
simplify Type::GetByName() using it.
The dynamic type check is moved into an assertion after freezing the namespace.
This commit removes EmbeddedNamespaceValue and ConstEmbeddedNamespaceValue and
reduces NamespaceValue down to a simple struct without inheritance or member
functions. The code from these clases is inlined into the Namespace class. The
class hierarchy determining whether a value is const is moved to an attribute
of NamespaceValue.
This is done in preparation for changes to the locking in the Namespace class.
Currently, it relies on a recursive mutex. In the future, a shared mutex
(read/write lock) should be used instead, which cannot allow recursive locking
(without failing or risk deadlocking on lock upgrades). With this change, all
operations requiring a lock for one operation are within one function, no
recursive locking is not needed any more.
This commit adds a new initialization priority `FreezeNamespaces` that is run
last and moves all calls to `Namespace::Freeze()` there. This allows all other
initialization functions to still update namespaces without the use of the
`overrideFrozen` flag.
It also moves the initialization of `System.Platform*` and `System.Build*` to
an initialize function so that these can also be set without setting
`overrideFrozen`.
This is preparation for a following commit that will make the frozen flag in
namespaces finial, no longer allowing it to be overriden (freezing the
namespace will disable locking, so performing further updates would be unsafe).
Change the type of the priority values from int to a new enum. By replacing the
magic int values throughout the code base with named values, there is now a
single place where all priority values are defined and you get an overview over
the initialization order.
This patch ensures that specific configuration types
are pre-activated and post-activated. In general,
logging is first, then common configuration objects
like host/service, downtimes, etc.
In the end, all features are activated after to ensure
that notifications are only sent once downtimes are applied.
A similar thing happens for starting with checks too early.
The ApiListener feature runs first to allow cluster connections
at first glance.
