acl -- One advanced C/C++ library for Unix/Windows.

1 Description

The acl project is a cross-platform (supporting LINUX, WIN32, Solaris, MacOS, FreeBSD) network communication library and server programming framework, while providing more useful functional libraries. Through this library, users can easily write server programs, WEB applications, and database applications that support multiple modes (multi-threaded, multi-process, non-blocking, trigger, UDP, and coroutine). In addition, the library also provides client communication libraries for common applications (such as: HTTP, SMTP, ICMP, redis, memcache, beanstalk, handler socket), common streaming codec library: XML/JSON/MIME/BASE64/UUCODE/ QPCODE/RFC2047 etc.

1.1 Library composition

This project consists of 5 libraries and a large number of examples. The description of the five libraries is as follows:

  1. lib_acl: This library is the most basic library, the other four libraries are dependent on the library; the library is implemented in C language.
  2. lib_protocol: This library mainly implements the http protocol and the icmp/ping protocol; the library is implemented in C language.
  3. lib_acl_cpp: This library encapsulates the lib_acl/lib_protocol libraries in C++ and adds some other valuable functional applications.
  4. lib_fiber: This library supports the coroutine library, directly hooks the system read/write API, and supports high-concurrency network programming with epoll.
  5. lib_dict: This library mainly implements the dictionary storage of KEY-VALUE, which also depends on BDB, CDB and tokyocabinet libraries.
  6. lib_tls: This library encapsulates the openssl library so that the communication mode of lib_acl can support ssl.

1.2 Function module composition

1.2.1 Network communication library

1.2.1.1 Stream processing module

This module is the most basic streaming communication module for the entire acl network communication. It not only supports network streaming, but also supports file streaming. It mainly supports:

  1. Read data by line, compatible with \r\n under win32, and compatible with the end of \n under UNIX
  2. Read data by line but require automatic removal of the trailing \n or \r\n
  3. Read data as a string separator
  4. Read the specified length of data
  5. Try to read a row of data or try to read the specified length of data
  6. Detect network IO status
  7. Write a row of data
  8. Write data by formatter, similar to fprintf
  9. File stream location operation, similar to fseek
  10. Write a set of data at once, similar to writev under unix
  11. Truncate the file, similar to ftrunk
  12. Get the file size
  13. Get the current file stream pointer location, similar to ftell
  14. Get the file size
  15. Obtain the local address and remote address of the network stream
1.2.1.2 Network operation module

This module mainly supports network server monitoring (supports TCP/UDP/UNIX domain socket), network client connection (supports TCP/UNIX domain socket), DNS domain name query and result cache (supports calling system gethostbyname/getaddrinfo function and direct Send DNS protocol two ways), socket (socket) operation and take the local network card and other functions.

1.2.1.3 Non-blocking network flow

Support non-blocking mode connection, read (by row read, specified length read), write (write line, write specified length, write a set of data) and other operations.

1.2.1.4 Common network application protocol library

It mainly supports common network application protocols, such as: HTTP, SMTP, ICMP, in which HTTP and ICMP modules implement blocking and non-blocking communication methods. In addition, the HTTP protocol supports server and client in C++ version of lib_acl_cpp. Two communication methods, when used as a server, support the interface usage similar to JAVA HttpServlet. When used as a client mode, it supports connection pool and cluster management. The module supports both cookie, session, and HTTP MIME file upload. Rich functions such as block transfer, automatic character set conversion, automatic decompression, and breakpoint resume.

1.2.1.5 Common network communication library

Support memcached, beanstalk, handler socket client communication library, the communication library supports connection pool mode.

1.2.2 Network IO event engine

Supports select (UNIX/LINUX/WIN32), poll (UNIX/LINUX), epoll (LINUX), kqueue (BSD), devpoll (solaris), iocp (WIN32), window message (WIN32) and other system event engines, and supports Reactor And Proactor two programming models.

1.2.3 Web server framework

This module is the most important module in acl, and provides the infrastructure commonly used in server programming. The server framework is derived from the famous Postfix. It has been expanded on the basis of the following. The main service models that have been supported are:

1.2.3.1 Process model

One connection to a process, the advantage of this model is that the programming is simple, safe and stable, and the disadvantage is that the degree of concurrency is not high;

1.2.3.2 Thread model

Each child process handles all client connections by a group of threads in the thread pool. The IO event trigger mode is used. The connection is bound to a thread only when the connection has data readable. The thread is returned immediately after processing. For the thread pool, the biggest advantage of this model is that it can handle a large number of client connections with a small number of threads, and the programming is relatively simple (relative to the non-blocking model);

1.2.3.3 Non-blocking model

Each child process consists of a single non-blocking thread that handles a large number of foreign client connections (similar to nginx/squid/ircd) in a completely non-blocking IO manner. The advantage of this model is that it has high processing efficiency and low resource consumption. Can handle a large number of client connections, the disadvantage is that programming is more complicated;

1.2.3.4 Coroutine model

Although the non-blocking service model can obtain large concurrent processing capability, the programming complexity is high. The coroutine model combines the features of large concurrent processing and low programming complexity, enabling programmers to easily implement sequential IO programming. Business logic;

1.2.3.5 UDP communication model

The model is mainly used to support the UDP network process and the service model is added;

1.2.3.6 Trigger model

The model instance is mainly used to process the background service process of some scheduled tasks (similar to the system's crontab).

The sub-process utility in the server framework adopts the semi-resident service model, supports the sub-process pre-boot mechanism, the maximum and minimum process number control, the sub-process abnormal alarm, and the single process to listen to multiple addresses (can simultaneously listen to TCP/UDP sockets and UNIX). Domain sockets), child process security control, log output to syslog-ng, multi-process TCP connection uniformity; configuration file-driven mode, one configuration file per service, convenient process management and online upgrade of service process.

1.2.4 Thread and thread pool module

Provides a cross-platform support for the Posix-compliant thread interface (WIN32 support); the thread pool module minimizes lock conflicts in thread task allocation (used in the multi-process multi-threaded service model in the acl server framework).

1.2.5 HTTP protocol

Provides a complete HTTP protocol implementation, supports HTTP/1.0, 1.1 version; supports both client mode and server mode:

1.2.5.1 Client mode
  1. Support connection pool mode;
  2. Support chunked block transfer;
  3. Support compressed transmission;
  4. Support SSL encrypted transmission;
  5. Support for resumed breakpoints;
  6. Support setting/acquisition of cookies;
  7. Support Websocket.
1.2.5.2 Server mode
  1. Support Java-like HttpServlet usage;
  2. Support chunked block transfer;
  3. Support compressed transmission;
  4. Support SSL encrypted transmission;
  5. Support for resumed breakpoints;
  6. Support setting/acquisition of cookies;
  7. Support HTTP MIME format;
  8. Support Websocket.

1.2.6 Redis client library

  1. Support redis cluster mode and non-cluster mode;
  2. Support connection pool mode;
  3. Divide into separate C++ classes according to the redis data structure type;
  4. Each command is mapped to 1 to more functions. Specific content reference: [Use the acl library to write efficient C++ redis client application] (http://zsxxsz.iteye.com/blog/2184744)

1.2.7 MIME protocol library

  1. Support streaming MIME data parsing;
  2. Support MIME RFC2045, RFC2047, RFC822.

1.2.8 Network coroutine library

Direct hook system The underlying IO API, in conjunction with epoll, implements a high-concurrency, high-performance programming framework for network IO. This module enables some native common blocking network libraries (such as client libraries such as mysql/redis/http) to directly support high Concurrent network operation; by using this module, the programmer uses the sequential thinking programming method to change the blocking mode to the non-blocking mode inside the coroutine library, thus greatly improving the network concurrency and processing performance.

Designed a unified database operation interface and connection pool processing, currently supports sqlite/mysql/postgresql.

1.2.10 Numeric key K-V disk storage module (zdb)

Take the KEY/VALUE block storage method, because the KEY is limited to the numeric type, you only need the memory calculation to calculate the position of the KEY, and the KEY stores the location of the VALUE, so you only need two disk positioning for any data query. (I used this method to replace K-V storage using B-trees such as BSD and TC when doing traffic statistics storage.)

1.2.11 Other function libraries

1.2.11.1 Common data structure module

The module provides common hash tables (and multiple hash algorithms), dynamic arrays, doubly linked lists, balanced binary trees, queues, binary search trees, 256-fork matching trees, and other array structures; provides a unified data structure traversal method (using acl_foreach).

1.2.11.2 Memory operation module

This module provides three memory pool models:

  1. Basic memory mode: The system's malloc/free API is encapsulated internally to provide security measures such as memory verification. This method also provides an external registration interface that allows users to register their own memory allocation models. ;
  2. memory slice (slab) mode: allocate multiple fixed-length memory chains according to different sizes, which can effectively reduce memory fragmentation and greatly improve memory allocation efficiency;
  3. memory chain mode: Allocate small memory of different lengths on one memory page, which can use memory very effectively and reduce memory waste.
1.2.11.3 Common string operation module

Supports string matching lookup, pre (post) comparison, string splitting, string case conversion, H2B/B2H conversion, URL encoding/decoding, etc.

1.2.11.4 File directory module

Support multi-level directory creation, multi-level directory scanning, file handle caching, etc., while processing multi-level directories in a round-robin manner, avoiding the potential for stack overflow in recursive mode.

1.2.11.5 Read configuration file module

Supports reading the configuration file of the name=value format. When the value is long, you can use the backslash () to wrap the line, and use the configuration table to extract the configuration items in the configuration file.

1.2.11.6 File queue processing library

Supports the creation, scanning, and deletion of multiple sets of directory queue files; it is commonly used in service programs for temporary file queue scheduling.

1.2.11.7 Json parsing library

Supports streaming parsing of json data while supporting json packet assembly.

1.2.11.8 Xml parsing library

Support streaming methods to parse xml data while supporting xml packet assembly.

1.2.11.9 Common coding library

It also includes codecs such as rfc2047, url, base64, uucode, qpcode, charset, etc. These decoding libraries are all streamed and are suitable for multiple network IO models (blocking/non-blocking TCP, UDP).

2 Platform support and compilation

The entire project currently supports Linux (AS4, 5, 6, CS4, 5, 6, ubuntu), Windows, MacOS, FreeBSD, Solaris, Android, IOS.

  • Linux/UNIX: The compiler is gcc, enter the lib_acl/lib_protocol/lib_acl_cpp directory directly in the terminal command line mode, run the make command.
  • Windows: Can be compiled with VC2003/VC2008/VC2010/VC2012/vc2013/vc2015. (If you need to compile with VC6/VC2005, you can refer to the compilation conditions of VC2003).
  • MacOS: Compiled with xcode.
  • Support for CMake cross-platform compilation

There are a few things to keep in mind when using dynamic libraries in a WIN32 environment:

  • When using the dynamic library of lib_acl, it needs to be predefined in the user's project: ACL_DLL;
  • When using the HTTP library or ICMP library in the lib_protocol dynamic library, you need to predefine HTTP_DLL or ICMP_DLL in the project;
  • When using the dynamic library of lib_acl_cpp, you need to predefine ACL_CPP_DLL in the project. If you use the VC2003 compiler environment, you need to predefine VC2003.
  • When using the dynamic library of lib_dict, you need to predefine DICT_DLL in the project;
  • When using a dynamic library of lib_tls, you need to predefine TLS_DLL in your project.
  • Detailed compilation process, see: [compilation and use of acl library] (BUILD.md)
