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
Majority of PLists are now created as automatic/stack objects,
rather than on heap and initialized either with the known-capacity
reserved upfront or directly from an initializer_list (so there's no
wasted slack in the memory that gets allocated for lists containing
a fixed/known number of elements).
Added versions of the ConnectionEvent/QueueEvent methods that take
a val_list by value.
Added a move ctor/assign-operator to Plists to allow passing them
around without having to copy the underlying array of pointers.
The signatures of script-layer functions 'discarder_check_ip',
'discarder_check_tcp', 'discarder_check_udp', and 'discarder_check_icmp'
were changed to use the more general 'pkt_hdr' type as a parameter
instead of individual header types.
Currently, a lot of interpreter runtime errors, such as an access to
an unset optional record field, cause Bro to abort with an internal
error. This is an experimental branch that turns such errors into
non-fatal runtime errors by internally raising exceptions. These are
caught upstream and processing continues afterwards.
For now, not many errors actually raise exceptions (the example above
does though). We'll need to go through them eventually and adapt the
current Internal() calls (and potentially others). More generally, at
some point we should cleanup the interpreter error handling (unifying
errors reported at parse- and runtime; and switching to exceptions for
all Expr/Stmt/Vals). But that's a larger change and left for later.
The main question for now is if this code is already helpful enough to
go into 2.0. It will quite likely prevent a number of crashes due to
script errors.
