The Zeek code base has very inconsistent #includes. Many sources
included a few headers, and those headers included other headers, and
in the end, nearly everything is included everywhere, so missing
#includes were never noticed. Another side effect was a lot of header
bloat which slows down the build.
First step to fix it: in each source file, its own header should be
included first to verify that each header's includes are correct, and
none is missing.
After adding the missing #includes, I replaced lots of #includes
inside headers with class forward declarations. In most headers,
object pointers are never referenced, so declaring the function
prototypes with forward-declared classes is just fine.
This patch speeds up the build by 19%, because each compilation unit
gets smaller. Here are the "time" numbers for a fresh build (with a
warm page cache but without ccache):

* origin/topic/jsiwek/reassembly-improvements-map:
Rename a reassembly DataBlockList function
Add comments to reassembly classes
Use DataBlock value instead of pointer in reassembly map
Remove linked list from reassembly data structures
Use an std::map for reassembly DataBlock searches
Refactor Reassembler/DataBlock bookkeeping
Reorganize reassembly data structures
Remove a superfluous reassembler DataBlock member
Started by factoring some details into a new DataBlockList class to at
least make it more clear where modifications occur. More abstractions
likely to happen later as I experiment with alternate data structures
aimed at improving worse-case scenarios.
Note - this compiles, but you cannot run Bro anymore - it crashes
immediately with a 0-pointer access. The reason behind it is that the
required clone functionality does not work anymore.
This commit marks (hopefully) ever one-parameter constructor as explicit.
It also uses override in (hopefully) all circumstances where a virtual
method is overridden.
There are a very few other minor changes - most of them were necessary
to get everything to compile (like one additional constructor). In one
case I changed an implicit operation to an explicit string conversion -
I think the automatically chosen conversion was much more convoluted.
This took longer than I want to admit but not as long as I feared :)
- Re-arrange how some fa_file fields (e.g. source, connection info, mime
type) get updated/set for consistency.
- Add more robust mechanisms for flushing the reassembly buffer.
The goal being to report all gaps and deliveries to file analyzers
regardless of the state of the reassembly buffer at the time it has to
be flushed.
- The reassembly behavior can be modified per-file by enabling or
disabling the reassembler and/or modifying the size of the reassembly
buffer.
- Changed the file extraction analyzer to use the stream to avoid
issues with the chunk based approach not immediately triggering
the file_new event due to mime-type detection delay. Early chunks
frequently ended up lost before.
- Generally things are working now and I'd consider this in testing.
