Hello,
Throughout the routes of kamailio we use multiple variables. These
consist of $var, $avp, $dlg_var and probably more. What's the policy for
these variables when used. When, if even, are they being cleaned up
after a call has been terminated.
Is this something we need to be doing ourselves with functions like
avp_delete("foo")?
Many thanks!
Dirk

These variables are limited to their scope, a $var is valid in the current SIP
message. An $avp's scope is a SIP transaction (eg from INVITE til the end of a
BYE), the same for $dlg_var but then only when using the dialog module.
Destroying seems to be handled internally by kamailio core at the end of a
message, by (I guess) tm.so for $avp and dialog.so for dlg_var at the end of
the transactions lifetime. You don't need to do manual garbage collection,
avp_delete can be used to unset avps within scope though.

THis applies to the call.

Subtle difference, dlg_vars now make sense to me.
Thanks for correcting my views.

Some corrections to the above:
- $var(...) is persistent in the context of the process, independent of
the sip message processed at that moment
- $avp(...) (and $xavp(...) for that matter) - is persistent in the
context of the sip transaction, from the request to the final response
of that request. For example, from INVITE to 200ok of the INVITE
- $dlg_var(...) - is persistent in the context of the dialog (or call) -
from the INVITE to the BYE

$var(...) at not destroyed at runtime, but avp, xavp and dlg_var are
destroyed when their context is destroyed.
