What the compiled VCL code contains is not "a backend" but more like a specification of or a template of a backend. This matters because it controls the ownership of the backend structure, and to a lesser degree because it complicates the VRT api with a lot of pointless functions. When vcl.use switches to a different VCL program, the backends of the old VCL program may still be in use, and, provided the backend declarations of the two VCL programs are identical, should continue be carried over to the new VCL code. This requires the memory and state to be owned by the central backend code, and the VCL programs to just hold references and becomes even more important when we keep complex state for load balancing on individual backends. This commit changes the ownership of the backends to the central code, and moves the specification used in the compiled VCL program to a communication structure for just that. This also paves the way for introducing directors/policies for backend selection and for good measure, I have named the default (ie: current) backend policy "simple" for now. git-svn-id: http://www.varnish-cache.org/svn/trunk/varnish-cache@1829 d4fa192b-c00b-0410-8231-f00ffab90ce4
