[OpenSIPS-Users] OpensSIPS 2.2 - avps with an index of -1

[Pat Burke]

Bogdan,


I implemented your change in my 2.2.1 code, and it works great.  


Thanks for the implementation.


Pat

Hi Pat,

OK :).

Well, the usage of the -1 index is inconsistent with the rest of the indexes - for positive indexes are used to "overwrite" an existing value, not to add a new one. This is why the usage of -1 to add may be misleading, as you would expect to actually overwrite the last value :).

I committed a patch on trunk/2.3 that adds the "append" index for AVPs :
    $(avp(name)[append]) = "last value";

https://github.com/OpenSIPS/opensips/commit/466fbf045179188c39fefe5b48ec581c37023a5b

You may consider using it (it is fully 2.2 compatible) and starting with 2.3 version you will get rid of additional patches ;).

Hello Bogdan,


You are exactly correct.  We have a patch in pv_set_avp in pvar.c that allows -1.  I don't know who put that in, but it works great.  I will put the patch into my 2.2 code.


The method was updated to
        if(idxf == PV_IDX_INT || idxf == PV_IDX_PVAR) /* if the avp is indexed */
        {
                if (idx == -1) { 
                        if (add_avp_last(flags, avp_name, avp_val)<0) {
                                LM_ERR("error - cannot add AVP\n");
                                goto error;
                        }
                } else if(replace_avp(flags, avp_name, avp_val, idx)< 0) {
                        LM_ERR("Failed to replace avp\n");
                        goto error;
                }
        }
  


from


        if(idxf == PV_IDX_INT || idxf == PV_IDX_PVAR) /* if the avp is indexed */
        {
                if(replace_avp(flags, avp_name, avp_val, idx)< 0)
                {
                        LM_ERR("Failed to replace avp\n");
                        goto error;
                }
        }
  
Thanks again,
Pat Burke

Hi Pat,

Are you sure the -1 index works for you? I just tested with an 1.11 code and got:

Oct 12 11:35:12 [29913] ERROR:core:replace_avp: Index with negative value
Oct 12 11:35:12 [29913] ERROR:core:pv_set_avp: Failed to replace avp
Oct 12 11:35:12 [29913] ERROR:core:do_assign: setting PV failed

I don't think negative indexes were ever supported for AVPs.

Are you sure you do not have a patch for 1.11 to allow negative values ?

In OpenSIPS 1.11 you were able to use the index of -1 on AVP's to put items into an AVP as a FIFO instead of a LIFO.

Here is what I mean.


$(avp(list)[-1]) = 1;
$(avp(list)[-1]) = 2;

$(avp(list)[-1]) = 3;
$(avp(list)[-1]) = 4;
$(avp(list)[-1]) = 5;


this would result the values coming off as a FIFO
$avp(list) is 1
$avp(list) = NULL;
$avp(list) is 2
$avp(list) = NULL;
$avp(list) is 3
$avp(list) = NULL;
$avp(list) is 4
$avp(list) = NULL;
$avp(list) is 5






Just pushing the items onto the AVP creates a LIFO
$avp(list) = 1;
$avp(list) = 2;
$avp(list) = 3;
$avp(list) = 4;
$avp(list) = 5;


this would result the values coming off as
$avp(list) is 5
$avp(list) = NULL;
$avp(list) is 4
$avp(list) = NULL;
$avp(list) is 3
$avp(list) = NULL;
$avp(list) is 2
$avp(list) = NULL;
$avp(list) is 1




So my question is how do I create a FIFO without having to keep an index to ensure that I am adding the item to the end. When porting the code from 1.11 to 2.2 I get an error "ERROR:core:replace_avp: Index with negative value" when I use the -1.
