By: Mark Spencer (markster) 2005-01-01 15:19:32.000-0600 merged iN CVS, but don't you think that ASTOBJ makes this stuff rather obsolete? By: Kevin P. Fleming (kpfleming) 2005-01-01 15:49:25.000-0600 (reopening to respond, for posterity) Yes, ASTOBJ does make the list macros obsolete to some degree. However, 99% of Asterisk is still using them, and I don't see the channel list being converted over any time soon unless we are being very brave :-) In addition, there will always be a use for non-reference-counted lists; the situation that brought these patches about was dealing with the channel variable lists, which are not shared among multiple users. Adding reference counts and locks to struct ast_var_t would be extreme overkill, in my opinion, so they will continue to use the standard linked lists for the foreseeable future (unless I'm mistaken).
