/**
 * @file action.c
 * @brief Implementation of the action object.
 *
 * This module contains the core implementation of output actions.  An
 * action can operate in direct or queued mode and may maintain
 * per-worker state.  Several message submission paths exist and are
 * chosen at runtime depending on configuration.  All filtering is
 * performed before a message is enqueued so that queued and direct
 * modes behave identically.
 *
 * Some output modules offer transactional behavior. In this context a
 * transaction simply groups the current batch of messages. Rollback
 * is not guaranteed, so message delivery follows an at-least-once model.
 *
 * The legacy comments below outline the call sequences used for the
 * various execution modes.  They are retained for reference.
 *

 *
 * @section action_flow Action Execution Flow
 * The submission path depends on rate limiting and mark handling:
 * - If @c iExecEveryNthOccur or @c iSecsExecOnceInterval is set,
 *   doSubmitToActionQComplex() -> actionWriteToAction() -> doSubmitToActionQ()
 *   -> queue processing.
 * - If @c bWriteAllMarkMsgs is false,
 *   doSubmitToActionQNotAllMark() -> doSubmitToActionQ() -> queue processing.
 * - Otherwise,
 *   doSubmitToActionQ() -> qqueueEnqObj() -> queue processing.
 * When mark messages are not written immediately, doSubmitToActionQNotAllMark()
 * filters out those that are not yet due.

 * After dequeue, processBatchMain() invokes processMsgMain() for each message.
 * Direct queues enter at processMsgMain().
 * All filtering happens before enqueue so direct and queued modes behave identically.
 * Historically some filters ran after the queue, leading to inconsistent
 * results. Since version 5.8.2 all checks occur before enqueue so
 * queued and direct modes process the same set of messages.

/* This function returns the "current" time for this action. Current time
 * is not necessarily real-time. In order to enhance performance, current
 * system time is obtained the first time an action needs to know the time
 * and then kept cached inside the action structure. Later requests will
 * always return that very same time. Wile not totally accurate, it is far
 * accurate in most cases and considered "acurate enough" for all cases.
 * When changing the threading model, please keep in mind that this
 * logic needs to be changed should we once allow more than one parallel
 * call into the same action (object). As this is currently not supported,
 * we simply cache the time inside the action object itself, after it
 * is under mutex protection.
 * Side-note: the value -1 is used as tActNow, because it also is the
 * error return value of time(). So we would do a retry with the next
 * invocation if time() failed. Then, of course, we would probably already
 * be in trouble, but for the sake of performance we accept this very,
 * very slight risk.
 * This logic has been added as part of an overall performance improvment
 * effort inspired by David Lang. -- rgerhards, 2008-09-16
 * Note: this function does not use the usual iRet call conventions
 * because that would provide little to no benefit but complicate things
 * a lot. So we simply return the system time.
