Classes deriving from ExperimentData usually contain the
experiment-specific Protobuf message, which needs to be properly
destroyed. This is particularly a problem in the generic
DatabaseCampaign, as it never downcasts ExperimentData objects
retrieved from JobServer::getDone(). As the embedded
DatabaseCampaignMessage (usually named "fsppilot") is allocated on the
heap (this happens in the campaign's cb_send_pilot() function, asking
for a mutable_fsppilot()), the lack of a virtual destructor in
ExperimentData led to a memory leak, rendering the campaign server
inoperable after handling ~1E7 messages (with a 4GiB / 32-bit process
memory limit).

Doxygen skips undesired directories and files now. In addition, the
documentation of the "fail" namespace has been fixed. Note that there
are still several warnings (due to incomplete documentations) in the
Doxygen output.

The DatabaseCampaign interacts with the MySQL tables that are created
by the import-trace and prune-trace tools. It does offer all
unfinished experiment pilots from the database to the
fail-clients. Those clients send back a (by the experiment) defined
protobuf message as a result. The custom protobuf message does have to
need the form:
import "DatabaseCampaignMessage.proto";
message ExperimentMsg {
required DatabaseCampaignMessage fsppilot = 1;
repeated group Result = 2 {
// custom fields
required int32 bitoffset = 1;
optional int32 result = 2;
}
}
The DatabaseCampaignMessage is the pilot identifier from the
database. For each of the repeated result entries a row in a table is
allocated. The structure of this table is constructed (by protobuf
reflection) from the description of the message. Each field in the
Result group becomes a column in the result table. For the given
example it would be:
CREATE TABLE result_ExperimentMessage(
pilot_id INT,
bitoffset INT NOT NULL,
result INT,
PRIMARY_KEY(pilot_id)
)
