Lines with a range were being output with text "lines", and so were
being listed after all other lines belonging to the same Bro script
(e.g., "lines 123-125" was listed after "line 492"). Fixed by using
the text "line" instead of "lines".
Line numbers with fewer digits were being listed after line numbers
with more digits (e.g., "line 85" was listed after "line 237").
Fixed by sorting on a reformatted string (this string does not appear
in the output) where line numbers are right justified (padded on left
with spaces) so that sorting produces the expected results.
- This branch removes the attempt at bittorrent resynchronization.
I don't think that the bittorrent resynchronization would really
work very well anyway.
- This need to be merged after the topic/seth/64bit-type branch in binpac.
This is based on Gilbert's code but I ended up refactoring it quite a
bit. That's why I didn't do a direct merge but started with a new
branch and copied things over to adapt. It looks quite a bit different
now as I tried to generalize things a bit more to also support the
Input Framework.
The larger changes code are:
- Moved all logging code into subdirectory src/logging/. Code
here is in namespace "logging".
- Moved all threading code into subdirectory src/threading/. Code
here is in namespace "threading".
- Introduced a central thread manager that tracks threads and is
in charge of termination and (eventually) statistics.
- Refactored logging independent threading code into base classes
BasicThread and MsgThread. The former encapsulates all the
pthread code with simple start/stop methods and provides a
single Run() method to override.
The latter is derived from BasicThread and adds bi-directional
message passing between main and child threads. The hope is that
the Input Framework can reuse this part quite directly.
- A log writer is now split into a general WriterFrontend
(LogEmissary in Gilbert's code) and a type-specific
WriterBackend. Specific writers are implemented by deriving from
the latter. (The plugin interface is almost unchanged compared
to the 2.0 version.).
Frontend and backend communicate via MsgThread's message
passing.
- MsgThread (and thus WriterBackend) has a Heartbeat() method that
a thread can override to execute code on a regular basis. It's
triggered roughly once a second by the main thread.
- Integration into "the rest of Bro". Threads can send messages to
the reporter and do debugging output; they are hooked into the
I/O loop for sending messages back; and there's a new debugging
stream "threading" that logs, well, threading activity.
This all seems to work for the most part, but it's not done yet.
TODO list:
- Not all tests pass yet. In particular, diffs for the external
tests seem to indicate some memory problem (no crashes, just an
occasional weird character).
- Only tested in --enable-debug mode.
- Only tested on Linux.
- Needs leak check.
- Each log write is currently a single inter-thread message. Bring
Gilbert's bulk writes back.
- Code needs further cleanup.
- Document the class API.
- Document the internal structure of the logging framework.
- Check for robustness: live traffic, aborting, signals, etc.
- Add thread statistics to profile.log (most of the code is there).
- Customize the OS-visible thread names on platforms that support it.
* origin/topic/jsiwek/brofiler:
Fix superfluous/duplicate data getting in to testing coverage log.
Add "# @no-test" tag to blacklist statements from test coverage analysis.
Test coverage integration for external tests and complete suite.
Integrate Bro script coverage profiling with the btest suite.
Add simple profiling class to accumulate Stmt usage stats across runs.
Renaming environment variable BROFILER_FILE to BRO_PROFILER_FILE for
consistency. Yeah, I know, such a nice name! :)
* origin/topic/bif_cleanup:
Give mode2string a more generic name.
Change some BiF return values from bool to any.
Perform type checking on count-to-port conversion.
Remove redundant connection_record() BiF.
Remove redundant active_connection() BiF.
Make exit() parameterizable.
to_port() now parses a string instead of a count.
Closes#684.
