frameworks.
There were a number of cases that weren't thread-safe. In particular,
we don't use std::string anymore for anything that's passed between
threads (but instead plain old const char*, with manual memmory
managmenet).
This is still a check-point commit, I'll do more testing.
Turns out the finish methods weren't called correctly, caused by a
mess up with method names which all sounded too similar and the wrong
one ended up being called. I've reworked this by changing the
thread/writer/reader interfaces, which actually also simplifies them
by getting rid of the requirement for writer backends to call their
parent methods (i.e., less opportunity for errors).
This commit also includes the following (because I noticed the problem
above when working on some of these):
- The ASCII log writer now includes "#start <timestamp>" and
"#end <timestamp> lines in the each file. The latter supersedes
Bernhard's "EOF" patch.
This required a number of tests updates. The standard canonifier
removes the timestamps, but some tests compare files directly,
which doesn't work if they aren't printing out the same
timestamps (like the comm tests).
- The above required yet another change to the writer API to
network_time to methods.
- Renamed ASCII logger "header" options to "meta".
- Fixes#763 "Escape # when first character in log file line".
All btests pass for me on Linux FC15. Will try MacOS next.
* origin/topic/bernhard/reader-info:
fix small bug - now configuration actually is passed.
add mode to readerinfo - no need to have it separately everywhere anymore.
introduce reader-info struct analogous to writer-info.
Introduce support for a table of key/value pairs with further configuration options, with the same userinterface as in the logging interface.
make writer-info work when debugging is enabled

* topic/robin/input-threads-merge: (130 commits)
And now it even compiles after my earlier changes.
A set of input framework refactoring, cleanup, and polishing.
another small memory leak in ascii reader:
and another small memory leak when using streaming reads.
fix another memory lead (when updating tables).
Input framework merge in progress.
filters have been called streams for eternity. And I always was too lazy to change it everywhere...
reactivate network_time check in threading manager. previously this line made all input framework tests fail - it works now. Some of the other recent changes of the threading manager must have fixed that problem.
fix up the executeraw test - now it works for the first time and does not always fail
baselines for the autostart removal.
remove last remnants of autostart, which has been removed for quite a while.
make input framework source (hopefully) adhere to the usual indentation style. No functional changes.
fix two memory leaks which occured when one used filters.
update description to current interface.
rename a couple of structures and make the names in manager fit the api more.
fix memory leak in tables and vectors that are read into tables
fix missing get call for heart beat in benchmark reader.
fix heart_beat_interval -- initialization in constructor does not work anymore (probably due to change in init ordering?)
fix memory leak for tables... nearly completely.
fix a couple more leaks. But - still leaking quite a lot with tables.
...
compiles, not really tested.
basic test works 70% of the time, coredumps in the other 30 - but was not easy to debug on a first glance (most interestingly the crash happens in the logging framework - I wonder how that works).
Other tests are not adjusted to the new interface yet.
* change internal reader interface again
* remove some quite embarassing bugs that must have been in the interface for rather long
* add different read methods to script & internal interface (like normal, streaming, etc). Not implemented in ascii reader yet.
But: there are still a few places where I am sure that there are race conditions & memory leaks & I do not really like the current interface & I have to add a few more messages between the front and backend.
But - it works :)
most stuff is inplace, logging framework needs a few changes merged before continuing here...
