Where is the definition of `struct ap_conf_vector_t`?

Question

Where is the definition of the struct ap_conf_vector_t in Apache sources? Is it generated, where?

Answer 1

ap_conf_vector_t seems to be an opaque datatype. This is usually used in the old days to define a stable api which the possibility to later change the implementation without changes to the api.

ap_conf_vector_t is only used as a parameter to the api functions like:

• ap_get_module_config
• ap_parse_htaccess

You are not supposed to manipulate the members of this structure directly. Kind of OO programming, you only can use the supplied functions.
