osmo-pcu[master]: Initialize logging before initializing rate_ctr

[Neels Hofmeyr]

Patch Set 3:

(3 comments)

There are numerous ways to solve chicken/eggs like this... ideas:

Wrap m_ratectrs in a getter function, which allocates the rate counters the first time the getter is called (only if m_ratectrs == NULL), instead of doing so directly in the constructor.

or

Make the global singleton BTS dynamically allocated (a pointer instead of an instance) and call the constructor after the logging init; also move the call to bts_main_data() further down in pcu_main.c.

In this patch, I wonder why the extensive move / separate files are needed. Is that a cosmetic choice or a compilation requirement?

File src/bts.h:

Line 220: 	struct rate_ctr_group *ctrs;
curious, any reason to place it squarely in the middle between lots of unrelated uints?

"sysmocom" not capitalized, also Harald says to add a dash, which I wasn't aware of until recently. I usually also add a mail address...

Line 32: 	const struct rate_ctr_desc bts_ctr_description[] = {
I assume these structs aren't copied by the rate_ctr_init(?), in which case they must be static.
