There is a lot that could be said about this, but the patch is a big
improvement for performance, stability, code maintainability,
and ease of future code development.
The channel list is no longer an unsorted linked list. The main container
for channels is an astobj2 hash table. All of the code related to searching
for channels or iterating active channels has been rewritten. Let n be
the number of active channels. Iterating the channel list has gone from
O(n^2) to O(n). Searching for a channel by name went from O(n) to O(1).
Searching for a channel by extension is still O(n), but uses a new method
for doing so, which is more efficient.
The ast_channel object is now a reference counted object. The benefits
here are plentiful. Some benefits directly related to issues in the
previous code include:
1) When threads other than the channel thread owning a channel wanted
access to a channel, it had to hold the lock on it to ensure that it didn't
go away. This is no longer a requirement. Holding a reference is
sufficient.
2) There are places that now require less dealing with channel locks.
3) There are places where channel locks are held for much shorter periods
of time.
4) There are places where dealing with more than one channel at a time becomes
_MUCH_ easier. ChanSpy is a great example of this. Writing code in the
future that deals with multiple channels will be much easier.
Some additional information regarding channel locking and reference count
handling can be found in channel.h, where a new section has been added that
discusses some of the rules associated with it.
Mark Michelson also assisted with the development of this patch. He did the
conversion of ChanSpy and introduced a new API, ast_autochan, which makes it
much easier to deal with holding on to a channel pointer for an extended period
of time and having it get automatically updated if the channel gets masqueraded.
Mark was also a huge help in the code review process.
Thanks to David Vossel for his assistance with this branch, as well. David
did the conversion of the DAHDIScan application by making it become a wrapper
for ChanSpy internally.
The changes come from the svn/asterisk/team/russell/ast_channel_ao2 branch.

I was finding that on my dev box, occasionally attempting to "stop now" in
trunk would cause Asterisk to hang. I traced this to the fact that the logger
thread was waiting on a condition which had already been signalled. The logger
thread also need to be sure to check the value of the close_logger_thread variable.
The close_logger_thread variable is only checked when the list of logmessages is empty.
This allows for the logger thread to print and free any pending messages before exiting.

update dev-mode compiler flags to match the ones used by default on Ubuntu Intrepid, so all developers will see the same warnings and errors
since this branch already had some printf format attributes, enable checking for them and tag functions that didn't have them
format attributes in a consistent way
------------------------------------------------------------------------
in addition:
move some format attributes from main/utils.c to the header files they belong in, and fix up references to the relevant functions based on new compiler warnings

in 1.6.1 (as compared to 1.6.0 and versions of 1.4), this change also
deprecates the use of Asterisk with FreeBSD 4, given the central use of va_copy
in core functions. va_copy() is C99, anyway, and we already require C99 for
other purposes, so this isn't really a big change anyway. This change also
simplifies some of the core ast_str_* functions.

They want (char *)NULL as sentinel.
An example is OpenBSD (confirmed on 4.3) that ships with gcc 3.3.4
This commit introduces a contstant SENTINEL which is declared as:
#define SENTINEL ((char *)NULL)
All places I could test compile on my openbsd system are converted.
Update CODING-GUIDELINES to tell about this constant.

If a deadlock is detected, then the typical lock information will be
printed along with a backtrace of the stack for the offending threads.
Use of this requires compiling with DETECT_DEADLOCKS and having glibc
installed.
Furthermore, issuing the "core show locks" CLI command will print the
normal lock information as well as a backtraces for each lock. This
requires that DEBUG_THREADS is enabled and that glibc is installed.
All the backtrace features may be disabled by running the configure
script with --without-execinfo as an argument

Until this change, all verbose messages in Asterisk's log files reported logger.c
as the source of the message.

equivalent to the check done by ast_verb, I wrote a macro, VERBOSITY_LEVEL, which does this
check. I did a quick look in the source and used this macro in some places where option_verbose
was used.
I also converted some verbose messages in logger.c to use ast_verb instead of ast_verbose.

build times - tested, there is no measureable difference before and
after this commit.
In this change:
use asterisk/compat.h to include a small set of system headers:
inttypes.h, unistd.h, stddef.h, stddint.h, sys/types.h, stdarg.h,
stdlib.h, alloca.h, stdio.h
Where available, the inclusion is conditional on HAVE_FOO_H as determined
by autoconf.
Normally, source files should not include any of the above system headers,
and instead use either "asterisk.h" or "asterisk/compat.h" which does it
better.
For the time being I have left alone second-level directories
(main/db1-ast, etc.).

This prevents modifying the strings in the stored variables,
and catched a few instances where this was actually done.
Given the differences between trunk and 1.4 (and the fact that this
is effectively an API change) it is better to fix 1.4 independently.
These are
chan_sip.c::sip_register()
chan_skinny.c:: near line 2847
config.c:: near line 1774
logger.c::make_components()
res_adsi.c:: near line 1049
I may have missed some instances for modules that do not build here.

- the *_CURRENT macros no longer need the list head pointer argument
- add AST_LIST_MOVE_CURRENT to encapsulate the remove/add operation when moving entries between lists
