Buffer overrun error while flex scanner processing property parm groups.

This error occured only for large messages if a buffer realloc was needed while processing the property parm groups.

A raise condition when, during high load, processing both the original and a resent message and delivering this as two separate messages to the user.

Note that this solution only protects against multiple reply deliveries!

Callbacks, when the callback module is unknown (undefined), results in warning messages.

A raise condition scenario. As part of a cancelation operation, replies with waiting acknowledgements is cancelled. This includes informing the user (via a call to the handle_trans_ack callback function). It is possible that at this point the connection data has been removed, which makes it impossible for megaco to perform this operation, resulting in the warning message. The solution is to also store the callback module with the other reply information, to be used when cleaning up after a cancelation.

The documentation is now built with open source tools (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible change is that the frames are removed.

Improve handling of async transaction reply.

For asynchronous requests, issued using megaco:cast/3, the reply will be delivered using the handle_trans_reply/4,5 callback function.

If a receiver of a request, issued using megaco:cast/3, does not reply in time, megaco re-sends the request. If the receiver of the request sends the reply at the same time as megaco re-sends, it may also send a reply to the resent request (thinking the first reply got lost). These two replies may arrive more or less at the same time, causing confusion.

In order to improve this situation, a number of improvements have been done:

Aux Id: Seq 11393

If the megaco app received a transaction reply, for a request issued using the call/3 function, from the wrong remote entity (wrong MId)), megaco would still deliver the reply (call/3 returnes) as if from the correct remote entity (right MId).

This has been changed so that the function now returns with an error reason.

See call/3 for more info.

Megaco was unnecessarily strict when parsing the SDP attribute maxptime (leading or trailing spaces cased the value parse to fail).

This has been improved so that leading and trailing spaces are stripped before parsing the value. The same has been done for the attribute ptime.

In order to better utilize multi-core procs, the flex (text) scanner has been improved.

The flex (text) scanner has been made reentrant, if the flex utility supports this. Note that the version of flex supplied with some OS/distros (Solaris 10, FreeBSD and OpenBSD to mention a few) may not support this, in which case the flex scanner will be non-reentrant, just as before.

Unexpected handle_unexpected_reply callbacks.

The megaco_user callback function handle_unexpected_reply could during high load be called with unexpected values for the Trans argument, such as an TransactionReply where transactionResult had the value {error, timeout}. This was a result of a raise condition and has now been fixed.

[text] PropertyParm values cannot be quoted.

[text] The text codec(s) has been optimized. The parsing of "property parameters" has been moved to the scanner(s). Which means that when decoding messages containing property parameters, using the flex scanner, decode time(s) will be reduced. The reduction depends on the message, but can be as large as 25%.
