[Asterisk-Users] Extensions.conf error - 'Maximum Include level(10) exceeded'

[Douglas Garstang]

Oh Nooooooo!

It looks as if there is a limit of 9 (not 10) maximum #include statments that you can have in extensions.conf. For example, the following extensions.conf causes the error to appear..

[user_3250071]
#include "inc/wildwildwest/features.conf"
#include "inc/wildwildwest/features.conf"
#include "inc/wildwildwest/features.conf"
#include "inc/wildwildwest/features.conf"
#include "inc/wildwildwest/features.conf"
#include "inc/wildwildwest/features.conf"

[user_3250072]
#include "inc/wildwildwest/features.conf"
#include "inc/wildwildwest/features.conf"
#include "inc/wildwildwest/features.conf"
#include "inc/wildwildwest/features.conf"
#include "inc/wildwildwest/features.conf"
#include "inc/wildwildwest/features.conf"

This is 12 #include statements and it causes the error to occur 3 times. If I remove three of the #include statements, the error goes away. This therefore means that is a maximum of 9 #include statements that can be put into extensions.conf. This is a SERIOUS SERIOUS (how many times can I say it?) limitation. I thought Digium said that Asterisk was supposed to be enterprise-grade? What happens when you say, oh I don't know, have LESS than 1 customer, with several dozen accounts and you need to provide fine tuned granularity to allow user and company level features with the use of #include and include=>?

Does anyone know what I can look for in the source to increase this limit to a reasonable number, say... several THOUSAND? What bad things could happen if I increased this limit?

I'm flabbergasted. Please, someone tell me I have got this all wrong.

Doug.

Can someone tell me why the following from extensions.conf generates this error on asterisk load?

Jan 13 09:27:24 WARNING[31701]: config.c:938 ast_config_internal_load: Maximum Include level (10) exceeded

As far as I can tell I don't have a DEPTH of 10 includes. I certainly have more than 10 include statements, but I don't have them drilled down to a depth of 10. I'm thinking the error text is wrong. Maybe you can't have more than 10 includes? And is it talking about #include or include=> ? None of the .conf files included here have any include statements.
