While we support initializing records via coercion from an expression
list, e.g.,
local x: X = [$x1=1, $x2=2];
this can sometimes obscure the code to readers, e.g., when assigning to
value declared and typed elsewhere. The language runtime has a similar
overhead since instead of just constructing a known type it needs to
check at runtime that the coercion from the expression list is valid;
this can be slower than just writing the readible code in the first
place, see #4559.
With this patch we use explicit construction, e.g.,
local x = X($x1=1, $x2=2);
Roughly 2.5 years ago all events taking the ``icmp_conn`` parameter were
removed with 44ad614094 and the NetVar.cc
type not populated anymore.
Remove the left-overs in script land, too.
* When a file is transferred over multiple connection, have
create_file_info() just pick the first one instead of none.
* Do not unconditionally assume cid and cuid as set on a
Notice::FileInfo object.
This adds a "policy" hook into the logging framework's streams and
filters to replace the existing log filter predicates. The hook
signature is as follows:
hook(rec: any, id: Log::ID, filter: Log::Filter);
The logging manager invokes hooks on each log record. Hooks can veto
log records via a break, and modify them if necessary. Log filters
inherit the stream-level hook, but can override or remove the hook as
needed.
The distribution's existing log streams now come with pre-defined
hooks that users can add handlers to. Their name is standardized as
"log_policy" by convention, with additional suffixes when a module
provides multiple streams. The following adds a handler to the Conn
module's default log policy hook:
hook Conn::log_policy(rec: Conn::Info, id: Log::ID, filter: Log::Filter)
{
if ( some_veto_reason(rec) )
break;
}
By default, this handler will get invoked for any log filter
associated with the Conn::LOG stream.
The existing predicates are deprecated for removal in 4.1 but continue
to work.
* 'action-drop' of https://github.com/LBL-gov/zeek:
Moved verb ACTION_DROP from policy/frameworks/netcontrol/catch-and-release.zeek to base/frameworks/notice/main.zeek.
ACTION_DROP is not only part of catch-n-release subsystem.
Also, historically ACTION_DROP has been bundled with ACTION_LOG, ACTION_ALARM, ACTION_EMAIL... and its helpful that this verb remains in base/frameworks/notice/main.zeek
In the past they were processed on the manager - which requires big
records to be sent around.
This has a potential of incompatibilities if someone relied on global
state for notice processing.
GH-214
* "bro_is_terminating" is now "zeek_is_terminating"
* "bro_version" is now "zeek_version"
The old function names still exist for now, but are deprecated.
For backward compatibility when reading values, we first check
the ZEEK-prefixed value, and if not set, then check the corresponding
BRO-prefixed value.
* All "Broxygen" usages have been replaced in
code, documentation, filenames, etc.
* Sphinx roles/directives like ":bro:see" are now ":zeek:see"
* The "--broxygen" command-line option is now "--zeexygen"
