Fixes in merge:
- Memory leak in HashKey ctor
- Minor whitespace/style changes
* origin/topic/dev/patterns-in-sets:
Enable Patterns as Table index in non singleton cases
Added support to create a Hashkey for PatternVals using their Pattern Texts
This also installs symlinks from "zeek" and "bro-config" to a wrapper
script that prints a deprecation warning.
The btests pass, but this is still WIP. broctl renaming is still
missing.
#239
Hash key construction of nested sets depended on the order in
which their elements are iterated, which varied even between sets
containing equivalent elements. The iteration order is now sorted
by each element's hash value (or, on collision, by full key) such
that equivalent sets no longer hash differently.
* origin/topic/jsiwek/val_mgr:
Pre-allocate and re-use Vals for bool, int, count, enum and empty string
Preallocate booleans and small counts
I added a tiny change to CompHash to make sure that nothing messes this
up in the future.
As we can't use the IPAddr class (because it's not thread-safe), this
involved a bit manual address manipulation and also shuffling some
things around a bit.
Not fully working yet, the tests for remote logging still fail.
pass yet.
Changes:
- Gave IPAddress/IPPrefix methods AsString() so that one doesn't need
to cast to get a string represenation.
- Val::AsAddr()/AsSubnet() return references rather than pointers. I
find that more intuitive.
- ODesc/Serializer/SerializationFormat get methods to support
IPAddress/IPPrefix directly.
- Reformatted the comments in IPAddr.h from /// to /** style.
- Given IPPrefix a Contains() method.
- A bit of cleanup.
Internally, all BROv6 preprocessor switches were removed and
addr/subnet representations wrapped in the new IPAddr/IPPrefix classes.
Some script-layer changes of note:
- dns_AAAA_reply event signature changed: the string representation
of an IPv6 addr is easily derived from the addr value, it doesn't
need to be another parameter. This event also now generated directly
by the DNS analyzer instead of being "faked" into a dns_A_reply event.
- removed addr_to_count BIF. It used to return the host-order
count representation of IPv4 addresses only. To make it more
generic, we might later add a BIF to return a vector of counts
in order to support IPv6.
- changed the result of enclosing addr variables in vertical pipes
(e.g. |my_addr|) to return the bit-width of the address type which
is 128 for IPv6 and 32 for IPv4. It used to function the same
way as addr_to_count mentioned above.
- remove bro_has_ipv6 BIF
Functions are now assigned a unique integer on construction which
CompositeHash can base hashes on. Recovery then just involves
looking up the function pointer associated with that unique number.
The Logger class is now in charge of reporting all errors, warnings,
informational messages, weirds, and syslogs. All other components
route their messages through the global bro_logger singleton.
The Logger class comes with these reporting methods:
void Message(const char* fmt, ...);
void Warning(const char* fmt, ...);
void Error(const char* fmt, ...);
void FatalError(const char* fmt, ...); // Terminate Bro.
void Weird(const char* name);
[ .. some more Weird() variants ... ]
void Syslog(const char* fmt, ...);
void InternalWarning(const char* fmt, ...);
void InternalError(const char* fmt, ...); // Terminates Bro.
See Logger.h for more information on these.
Generally, the reporting now works as follows:
- All non-fatal message are reported in one of two ways:
(1) At startup (i.e., before we start processing packets),
they are logged to stderr.
(2) During processing, they turn into events:
event log_message%(msg: string, location: string%);
event log_warning%(msg: string, location: string%);
event log_error%(msg: string, location: string%);
The script level can then handle them as desired.
If we don't have an event handler, we fall back to
reporting on stderr.
- All fatal errors are logged to stderr and Bro terminates
immediately.
- Syslog(msg) directly syslogs, but doesn't do anything else.
The three main types of messages can also be generated on the
scripting layer via new Log::* bifs:
Log::error(msg: string);
Log::warning(msg: string);
Log::message(msg: string);
These pass through the bro_logger as well and thus are handled in the
same way. Their output includes location information.
More changes:
- Removed the alarm statement and the alarm_hook event.
- Adapted lots of locations to use the bro_logger, including some
of the messages that were previously either just written to
stdout, or even funneled through the alarm mechanism.
- No distinction anymore between Error() and RunTime(). There's
now only one class of errors; the line was quite blurred already
anyway.
- util.h: all the error()/warn()/message()/run_time()/pinpoint()
functions are gone. Use the bro_logger instead now.
- Script errors are formatted a bit differently due to the
changes. What I've seen so far looks ok to me, but let me know
if there's something odd.
Notes:
- The default handlers for the new log_* events are just dummy
implementations for now since we need to integrate all this into
the new scripts anyway.
- I'm not too happy with the names of the Logger class and its
instance bro_logger. We now have a LogMgr as well, which makes
this all a bit confusing. But I didn't have a good idea for
better names so I stuck with them for now.
Perhaps we should merge Logger and LogMgr?
table/set indices.
This addresses #367. In principle, the fix is quite straightford.
However, it turns out that sometimes record fields lost their
attributes on assignment, and then the hashing can't decide anymore
whether a field is optional or not. So that needed to be fixed as
well.
