* origin/topic/dnthayer/ticket1947:
Fix some typos and formatting in NEWS
Add pattern operators to the documentation of operators
Fix minor typos in broker reference documentation
Fix a broken link and some typos in broker documentation
Fix reST formatting in documentation of "count" type
Add documentation for some new Bro features
In the following example, the republication of "arg" would result in
literally sending it as a Broker::Data record instead of the broker data
that it was already wrapping.
Sender:
Broker::publish("topic", my_event, "hello")
Receiver:
event my_event(arg: any)
{
Broker::publish("topic", my_event, arg)
}
* origin/topic/vern/pattern-ops:
Update submodules to correct checkouts.
test suite updates for &/| pattern operators
documentation for &/| for patterns
side-porting changes for supporting &/| pattern ops
basic code implemented, but there's a memory problem somehwere :-(
Adds --enable-coverage flag to configure Bro with gcov.
A new directory named /testing/bro-code-coverage/ contains a new
coverage target that as part of `make coverage` in /testing/.
This coverage option creates coverage.log of all important directories in /src/ and
places all generated .gcov files alongside the corresponding source file.
The advantage of using docker containers is to build and test Bro in
an environment that more closely resembles the environment where Bro
will actually be used. The docker containers currently used enable
testing Bro with all the major versions of gcc (versions 4 through 8),
as well as both python 2 and 3.
The "travis-job" script now takes a second parameter which specifies
a Linux distro to use (specifying "travis" will build and test bro
without using docker).
Improved readability of the output by adding more error checking
and better error and informational messages, and by moving the
unit test diag.log output to just before any external tests are run.
For pull request builds, skip the private tests instead of failing.
Prevent timeouts after 10 minutes of no output by not using the
btest "-b" option.
Decrease build time by not building unneeded components.
This patch fixes a *19 year old* reference-counting bug (which could
lead to a use-after-free, not merely a leak) in the regular expression
code.
Patch by Vern Paxson.
