src/core. exec_ctx is now a thread_local pointer of type ExecCtx instead of
grpc_exec_ctx which is initialized whenever ExecCtx is instantiated. ExecCtx
also keeps track of the previous exec_ctx so that nesting of exec_ctx is
allowed. This means that there is only one exec_ctx being used at any
time. Also, grpc_exec_ctx_finish is called in the destructor of the
object, and the previous exec_ctx is restored to avoid breaking current
functionality. The code still explicitly calls grpc_exec_ctx_finish
because removing all such instances causes the code to break.
- In C++, we need a constant for the max lifetime.
- In C, make sure that we crop the lifetime in the credentials object
itself and not just later during the creation of the token. This will
allow the refresh to occur based on the actual token lifetime as opposed
to the one from the user (which may be cropped).
- make closures know where they should be executed (eg, on a workqueue,
or a combiner, or on an exec_ctx)
- this allows removal of a large number of trampoline functions that
were appearing whenever we used combiners, and should allow for a much
easier interface to combiner locks
This will be useful when talking to non-trusted load balancer (balancers
which are not able to impersonate real backends) as these balancers
should not receive bearer tokens.
As opposed to a flat directory, we now have the following structure:
- security
-context
- credentials
- composite
- fake
- google_default
- iam
- jwt
- oauth2
- plugin
- ssl
- transport
- util
We have not refactored the test code yet but this PR is already large
enough...
This extends the existing http parser to support requests as well as responses.
httpcli continues to exist and work as it has previously, though in the new
directory src/core/http (to reflect the fact the directory now contains code
relevant to parsing requests, which httpcli would not generally involve itself
in).
