The header consisted of too many unrelated stuff and macros misuse.
Some stuff is moved into scram.hrl and type_compat.hrl.
All macros have been replaced with the corresponding function calls.
TODO: probably type_compat.hrl is not even needed anymore since
we support only Erlang >= OTP 17.5
Since now, ejabberd doesn't ignore unknown options and doesn't
allow to have options with malformed values. The rationale for
this is to avoid unexpected behaviour during runtime, i.e. to
conform to "fail early" approach. Note that it's safe to reload
a configuration with potentialy invalid and/or unknown options:
this will not halt ejabberd, but will only prevent the configuration
from loading.
***NOTE FOR PACKAGE BUILDERS***
This new behaviour should be documented in the upgrade notes.
When modules for some virtual host are about to be started,
they are topologically sorted to preserve dependencies order.
We now keep this order for stop/reload functions to work properly.
The callback is supposed to provide known options and their default
values, as long as the documentation. Passing default values into
get_mod functions is now deprecated: all defaults should be provided
by the Mod:mod_options/1 callback.
The option can be used as a replacement of 'host' option
when several (sub)domains are needed to be registered for the module.
Note that you cannot combine both 'host' and 'hosts' in the config
because 'host' option is of a higher priority. Example:
mod_pubsub:
...
hosts:
- "pubsub1.@HOST@"
- "pubsub2.@HOST@"
Fixes#1883
The changes are very similar to those from previous commit:
* Now there is no need to pass validating function in
gen_mod:get_opt() and gen_mod:get_module_opt() functions,
because the modules' configuration keeps already validated values.
* New functions gen_mod:get_opt/2 and gen_mod:get_module_opt/3 are
introduced.
* Functions gen_mod:get_opt/4 and get_module_opt/5 are deprecated.
If the functions are still called, the "function" argument is
simply ignored.
* Validating callback Mod:listen_opt_type/1 is introduced to validate
listening options at startup.
The commit introduces the following changes:
* Now there is no need to pass validating function in
ejabberd_config:get_option() functions, because the configuration
keeps already validated values.
* New function ejabberd_config:get_option/1 is introduced
* Function ejabberd_config:get_option/3 is deprecated. If the function
is still called, the second argument (validating function) is simply
ignored.
* The second argument for ejabberd_config:get_option/2 is now
a default value, not a validating function.
