We use our own locks +because such locks are only available in relatively recent versions of +log4cplus. Also (against our usual practice) we somehow re-invented +an in-house version of such a general purpose library rather than +existing proven tools such as boost::interprocess. While we decided +to go with the in-house version for the log library at least until we +completely switch to log4cplus's native lock support, no other BIND 10 +module should use this; they should use existing external +tools/libraries. + +This sub-library is therefore "hidden" here. As such, none of these +files should be installed. |
