 *
 * \par Intro
 *
 * The Stasis Message Bus is a loosely typed mechanism for distributing messages
 * within Asterisk. It is designed to be:
 *  - Loosely coupled; new message types can be added in seperate modules.
 *  - Easy to use; publishing and subscribing are straightforward operations.
 *
 * There are three main concepts for using the Stasis Message Bus:
 *  - \ref stasis_message
 *  - \ref stasis_topic
 *  - \ref stasis_subscription
 *
 * \par stasis_message
 *
 * Central to the Stasis Message Bus is the \ref stasis_message, the messages
 * that are sent on the bus. These messages have:
 *  - a type (as defined by a \ref stasis_message_type)
 *  - a value - a \c void pointer to an AO2 object
 *  - a timestamp when it was created
 *
 * Once a \ref stasis_message has been created, it is immutable and cannot
 * change. The same goes for the value of the message (although this cannot be
 * enforced in code). Messages themselves are reference-counted, AO2 objects,
 * along with their values. By being both reference counted and immutable,
 * messages can be shared throughout the system without any concerns for
 * threading.
 *
 * The type of a message is defined by an instance of \ref stasis_message_type,
 * which can be created by calling stasis_message_type_create(). Message types
 * are named, which is useful in debugging. It is recommended that the string
 * name for a message type match the name of the struct that's stored in the
 * message. For example, name for \ref stasis_cache_update's message type is \c
 * "stasis_cache_update".
 *
 * \par stasis_topic
 *
 * A \ref stasis_topic is an object to which \ref stasis_subscriber's may be
 * subscribed, and \ref stasis_message's may be published. Any message published
 * to the topic is dispatched to all of its subscribers. The topic itself may be
 * named, which is useful in debugging.
 *
 * Topics themselves are reference counted objects. Since topics are referred to
 * by their subscibers, they will not be freed until all of their subscribers
 * have unsubscribed. Topics are also thread safe, so no worries about
 * publishing/subscribing/unsubscribing to a topic concurrently from multiple
 * threads. It's also designed to handle the case of unsubscribing from a topic
 * from within the subscription handler.
 *
 * \par Forwarding
 *
 * There is one special case of topics that's worth noting: forwarding
 * messages. It's a fairly common use case to want to forward all the messages
 * published on one topic to another one (for example, an aggregator topic that
 * publishes all the events from a set of other topics). This can be
 * accomplished easily using stasis_forward_all(). This sets up the forwarding
 * between the two topics, and returns a \ref stasis_subscription, which can be
 * unsubscribed to stop the forwarding.
 *
 * \par Caching
 *
 * Another common use case is to want to cache certain messages that are
 * published on the bus. Usually these events are snapshots of the current state
 * in the system, and it's desirable to query that state from the cache without
 * locking the original object. It's also desirable for subscribers of the
 * caching topic to receive messages that have both the old cache value and the
 * new value being put into the cache. For this, we have stasis_cache_create()
 * and stasis_caching_topic_create(), providing them with the topic which
 * publishes the messages that you wish to cache, and a function that can
 * identify cacheable messages.
 *
 * The \ref stasis_cache is designed so that it may be shared amongst several
 * \ref stasis_caching_topic objects. This allows you to have individual caching
 * topics per-object (i.e. so you can subscribe to updates for a single object),
 * and still have a single cache to query for the state of all objects. While a
 * cache may be shared amongst different message types, such a usage is probably
 * not a good idea.
 *
 * The \ref stasis_cache can only be written to by \ref stasis_caching_topics.
 * It's a thread safe container, so freely use the stasis_cache_get() and
 * stasis_cache_dump() to query the cache.
 *
 * The \ref stasis_caching_topic discards non-cacheable messages. A cacheable
 * message is wrapped in a \ref stasis_cache_update message which provides the
 * old snapshot (or \c NULL if this is a new cache entry), and the new snapshot
 * (or \c NULL if the entry was removed from the cache). A
 * stasis_cache_clear_create() message must be sent to the topic in order to
 * remove entries from the cache.
 *
 * In order to unsubscribe a \ref stasis_caching_topic from the upstream topic,
 * call stasis_caching_unsubscribe(). Due to cyclic references, the \ref
 * stasis_caching_topic will not be freed until after it has been unsubscribed,
 * and all other ao2_ref()'s have been cleaned up.
 *
 * The \ref stasis_cache object is a normal AO2 managed object, which can be
 * release with ao2_cleanup().
 *
 * \par stasis_subscriber
 *
 * Any topic may be subscribed to by simply providing stasis_subscribe() the
 * \ref stasis_topic to subscribe to, a handler function and \c void pointer to
 * data that is passed back to the handler. Invocations on the subscription's
 * handler are serialized, but different invocations may occur on different
 * threads (this usually isn't important unless you use thread locals or
 * something similar).
 *
 * In order to stop receiving messages, call stasis_unsubscribe() with your \ref
 * stasis_subscription. Due to cyclic references, the \ref
 * stasis_subscription will not be freed until after it has been unsubscribed,
 * and all other ao2_ref()'s have been cleaned up.
 *
 * \par Shutdown
 *
 * Subscriptions have two options for unsubscribing, depending upon the context
 * in which you need to unsubscribe.
 *
 * If your subscription is owned by a module, and you must unsubscribe from the
 * module_unload() function, then you'll want to use the
 * stasis_unsubscribe_and_join() function. This will block until the final
 * message has been received on the subscription. Otherwise, there's the danger
 * of invoking the callback function after it has been unloaded.
 *
 * If your subscription is owned by an object, then your object should have an
 * explicit shutdown() function, which calls stasis_unsubscribe(). In your
 * subscription handler, when the stasis_subscription_final_message() has been
 * received, decrement the refcount on your object. In your object's destructor,
 * you may assert that stasis_subscription_is_done() to validate that the
 * subscription's callback will no longer be invoked.
 *
 * \b Note: You may be tempted to simply call stasis_unsubscribe_and_join() from
 * an object's destructor. While code that does this may work most of the time,
 * it's got one big downside. There's a general assumption that object
 * destruction is non-blocking. If you block the destruction waiting for the
 * subscription to complete, there's the danger that the subscription may
 * process a message which will bump the refcount up by one. Then it does
 * whatever it does, decrements the refcount, which then proceeds to re-destroy
 * the object. Now you've got hard to reproduce bugs that only show up under
 * certain loads.

/*!
 * \brief Boiler-plate messaging macro for cleaning up message types.
 *
 * Note that if your type is defined in core instead of a loadable module, you
 * should call message type cleanup from an ast_register_cleanup() handler
 * instead of an ast_register_atexit() handler.
 *
 * The reason is that during an immediate shutdown, loadable modules (which may
 * refer to core message types) are not unloaded. While the atexit handlers are
 * run, there's a window of time where a module subscription might reference a
 * core message type after it's been cleaned up. Which is bad.
