[OpenSIPS-Devel] [ opensips-Patches-3513177 ] Substitutions in configuration file

[Nick Altmann]

I'm not agree with you, because I use m4 now.

Such functionality was really useful together with include functionality.
For example, when I have errors with m4 it's hard to understand in
what line these errors occurred.

m4 is not always convenient,
I should compile my configuration every time, but I don't need all
power of m4, I need only substitutions.
m4 is not a panacea for all occasions.

> Summary: Substitutions in configuration file
>
> Initial Comment:
> This patch gives very useful feature - support to perform substitutions inside the strings of config.
> Work derived from the great parser enhancements made by Daniel-Constantin Mierla to the sip-router project.
>
> For example
>
> !subst
> perform substitutions inside the strings of config
> !subst offers an easy way to search and replace inside strings before cfg parsing. E.g.,:
> !subst "/regexp/subst/flags"
> flags is optional and can be: 'i' - ignore case; 'g' - global replacement
> Example:
> !subst "/DBPASSWD/xyz/"
> modparam("acc", "db_url", "mysql://user:DBPASSWD@localhost/db")
> will do the substitution of db password in db_url parameter value
