<br>
You can already use names for the route, not only numerical
IDs (without the need of defining).<br>
<br>
For flags, you can use only numbers, indeed - usually I use
M4 as text preprocessor to do different complex ops over the
script (like defines, ifdefs, etc).<br>
But maybe a built in support for names of flags will not be
a big issue, especially it is not a big deal.<br>

Hi all.<br>
<br>
I'm relatively new to OpenSIPS and still am at the
very beginning of<br>
learning how to tame this wonderful beast ;-).<br>
<br>
One thing that I, personally, find pretty
uncomfortable is that in various<br>
places in the opensips.cfg one needs to use plain
numbers to define or<br>
modify the behaviour. That easily results in
constructs like:<br>
<br>
=== cut ===<br>
route {<br>
...<br>
route(42);<br>
...<br>
}<br>
<br>
route[42] {<br>
...<br>
setflag(8);<br>
...<br>
}<br>
=== cut ===<br>
<br>
Obviously, it is possible to memorize the meaning of
the different numbers<br>
depending on the context they are used in - this is
what people do now<br>
when they work with OpenSIPS. But I guess things may
become pretty painful<br>
when you have a complex configuration and need to
urgently debug an issue<br>
in it which just has brought down a heavily loaded,
productively used<br>
OpenSIPS instance...<br>
<br>
Using comments certainly helps to relieve the problem
a bit, but they can<br>
not solve it. However, things would become much easier
if one could use<br>
"speaking names" instead of plain numbers:<br>
<br>
=== cut ===<br>
define(ROUTE_NAT_DETECTION, 42);<br>
define(FLAG_NAT_DETECTED, 8);<br>
<br>
route {<br>
...<br>
route(ROUTE_NAT_DETECTION);<br>
...<br>
}<br>
<br>
route[ROUTE_NAT_DETECTION] {<br>
...<br>
setflag(FLAG_NAT_DETECTED);<br>
...<br>
}<br>
=== cut ===<br>
<br>
Yes, I am aware that this could also be achieved by
using an external<br>
macro preprocessor such as M4. But that would add
another dependency - one<br>
which could be avoided if OpenSIPS had built-in
support for simple macro<br>
definitions like those shown in the example above.<br>
<br>
Bye, Mike<br>
