Hello,
I have a question regarding engine configuration.
We need to implement such behaviour:
- on load the engine is configured with the commands from config file,
but
the values can be overwritten via environment
That part can be done with the config file syntax see config(5)
- application can change the engine's configuration via
ENGINE_ctrl_string
functions.
Is there any way to distinguish whether engine is configured via the
config
file or via direct calls to ENGINE_ctrl* functions?
Not currently no: the config file calls the relevant control operations.
Does it make sense to create a PR (without code for now) to make these
cases distinguishable?
Thank you!
It would make more sense to ensure that the configuration (from any origin,
ENGINE_ctrl_, config file, environment, future mechanisms) is consistently
read through the same software "stack" and code path, such that any
supplemental / engine specific parameters are passed through all the way
and the engine code doesn't need to know or care about where that is.
Enjoy
Jakob
