[Avf-fuse-dev] Inode API in progress?

[Vincenzo a. N. N. <vin...@ya...>]

Hi all, I am developing a bridge between linux and an sql server using 
fuse. How much times did I hear this? Well, it seems that noone has 
taken care to make it real, to have a filesystem that also extracts 
information from files and feeds a database with information. I had 
been trying to do this in ocaml some year ago, but without success, due 
to the threading model of ocaml which did not allow (with reasons) fuse 
jumping straight into the middle of its computations. Now I reverted 
(not so happily) to C++ and tried again. But this all is not so 
relevant now; there is a slow but linear progress this time.

I read on this list archives that someone was going to try to implement 
an inode based alternative API. Is this going on?

Another question: would it look reasonable to use the event queue 
directly as an alternative to callbacks? This would solve the trouble 
with Ocaml. In general, not having callbacks directly in the library 
means to be able to easy bind any language to the library, while 
callbacks complicated things very much (Swig does not handle callbacks, 
for instance).

Bye
