the describe function for types to descend into record fields that
are marked with it.
With this, we can actually load the pacf scripts without crashing Bro
when running tests :)
While scripts are parsed, a warning is raised for each usage of an
identifier marked as &deprecated. This also works for BIFs.
Addresses BIT-924, BIT-757.
When an anonymoys function was defined inside an initialization
context, that context transfered over to the function body and could
lead to spurious error messages.
- Internals: move type alias table to private static BroType member.
- Sphinx extension: now uses absolute path to bro binary.
- reST ouput formatting: remove "param" from function desriptions
and change package overview docs so script link+summaries render
consistently.
Omission of the low index defaults to 0:
s = "12345"; s[:3] == "123"
Omission of the high index defaults to length of the string:
s = "12345"; s[3:] == "45"

Quick optimization to Broxygen doc gathering.
Flesh out Broxygen doc-gathering skeleton.
Refactor search_for_file() util function.
Initial skeleton of new Broxygen infrastructure.
So script parsing is only ~2x slower rather than 20x. Turns out cloning
Vals is particularly slow. Changed to just get a string description of
the Val for initial value and redef tracking.
Doesn't generate any docs, but it's hooked in to all places needed to
gather the necessary stuff w/ significantly less coupling than before.
The gathering now always occurs unconditionally to make documentation
available at runtime and a command line switch (-X) only toggles whether
to output docs to disk (reST format).
Should also improve the treatment of type name aliasing which wasn't a
big problem in practice before, but I think it's more correct now:
there's now a distinct BroType for each alias, but extensible types
(record/enum) will automatically update the types for aliases on redef.
Other misc refactoring of note:
- Removed a redundant/unused way of declaring event types.
- Changed type serialization format/process to preserve type name
information and remove compatibility code (since broccoli will
have be updated anyway).
Closes#983.
* origin/topic/jsiwek/983:
Add named constructor examples to docs.
Allow named vector constructors. Addresses #983.
Allow named table constructors. Addresses #983.
Improve set constructor argument coercion.
Allow named set constructors. Addresses #983.
Allow named record constructors. Addresses #983.
The table doesn't exist anymore. The functionality has been replaced
with a function call but I can't really see how to get it out of
there. We could get it from the analyzer manager, however then we
can't tie it back to a script anymore. What we could do eventually is
add this to the information about the analyzer plugin.
Case blocks in switch statements now must end in a break, return, or
fallthrough statement to give best mix of safety, readability, and
flexibility.
The new fallthrough keyword explicitly allows control to be passed to the
next case block in a switch statement.
Addresses #754.

Closes#925

Removed attributes &postprocessor and &match from documentation
and source code. Removed undocumented attribute &attr from
source code. Removed internal attribute (&tracked) from documentation.
The return value of the call is an implicit boolean value of T if all
hook handlers ran, or F if one hook handler exited as a result of a
break statement and potentially prevented other handlers from running.
Scripts don't need to declare hooks with an explicit return type of bool
(internally, that's assumed), and any values given to (optional) return
statements in handler definitions are just ignored.
Addresses #918.
For tables of a composite index type with the first type being a
record, membership checks with an inline index key could be
misinterpreted as a record constructor instead of an expression list.
E.g, if the table type is "global t = table[conn_id, bool] of count",
then checking membership like "[c$id, is_orig] in t" now works.
Addresses #80.
The names of enum types are tracked so that variables holding a value
of a given enum type can generate a reference to it instead of just
listing the type as a generic "enum".
* topic/robin/input-threads-merge: (130 commits)
And now it even compiles after my earlier changes.
A set of input framework refactoring, cleanup, and polishing.
another small memory leak in ascii reader:
and another small memory leak when using streaming reads.
fix another memory lead (when updating tables).
Input framework merge in progress.
filters have been called streams for eternity. And I always was too lazy to change it everywhere...
reactivate network_time check in threading manager. previously this line made all input framework tests fail - it works now. Some of the other recent changes of the threading manager must have fixed that problem.
fix up the executeraw test - now it works for the first time and does not always fail
baselines for the autostart removal.
remove last remnants of autostart, which has been removed for quite a while.
make input framework source (hopefully) adhere to the usual indentation style. No functional changes.
fix two memory leaks which occured when one used filters.
update description to current interface.
rename a couple of structures and make the names in manager fit the api more.
fix memory leak in tables and vectors that are read into tables
fix missing get call for heart beat in benchmark reader.
fix heart_beat_interval -- initialization in constructor does not work anymore (probably due to change in init ordering?)
fix memory leak for tables... nearly completely.
fix a couple more leaks. But - still leaking quite a lot with tables.
...
Stack trace context descriptions are no longer limited to 1024 chars
and better error messages are relayed when the arguments to print
commands fail to parse (e.g. an "unknown identifier" was given).
