No question is too dumb. Right? Would anyone care to explain the following code in found in mod_dav.c. I know the macros expand into a function. But what's the relationship of these hooks with the register_hooks functions. How are they invoked, and where are they invoked, and when are they invoked? What order, for example? Thanks for any guidance.
| Code: |
APR_HOOK_STRUCT(
APR_HOOK_LINK(gather_propsets)
APR_HOOK_LINK(find_liveprop)
APR_HOOK_LINK(insert_all_liveprops)
)
APR_IMPLEMENT_EXTERNAL_HOOK_VOID(dav, DAV, gather_propsets,
(apr_array_header_t *uris),
(uris))
APR_IMPLEMENT_EXTERNAL_HOOK_RUN_FIRST(dav, DAV, int, find_liveprop,
(const dav_resource *resource,
const char *ns_uri, const char *name,
const dav_hooks_liveprop **hooks),
(resource, ns_uri, name, hooks), 0)
APR_IMPLEMENT_EXTERNAL_HOOK_VOID(dav, DAV, insert_all_liveprops,
(request_rec *r, const dav_resource *resource,
dav_prop_insert what, apr_text_header *phdr),
(r, resource, what, phdr))[code][/code] |

In addition to using existing Apache hooks - mod_dav provides additional hooks for other modules to use.
These three new hooks (gather_propsets, find_liveprop, and insert_all_liveprops) are provided by mod_dav, not used by mod_dav.
Nothing else in Apache uses these three hooks - but an example of a 3rd-party module which does use them is the Subversion module, mod_dav_svn.
mod_dav_svn.c registers callbacks for all three in its register_hooks function .
If you want to understand this stuff, I recommend Nick Kew's book: The Apache Modules Book ISBN: 0-13-240967-4, Prentice Hall.
Chapter 10 explains this in detail - but it's a bit long for a forum post.
