Clang automatically disables deprecation warnings for types used within
already-deprecated contexts, such as if you use a deprecated type inside
of a method that's beeen marked as deprecated. GCC doesn't have this
feature so it spews a lot more warnings. These functions are now wrapped
in pragmas that disable the warnings for the usage.
The order in which the plugin initializers are executed is compiler
dependent. With this change, Tags will always be generated in
alphabetical ordering, not in compiler-dependent order.
- Move more functionality into base class.
- Remove cctors and assignment operators (weren't actually needed anymore)
- Switch from const char* to std::string.
A bunch of infrastructure work to move IOSource, IOSourceRegistry (now
iosource::Manager) and PktSrc/PktDumper code into iosource/, and over
to a plugin structure.
Other IOSources aren't touched yet, they are still in src/*.
It compiles and does something with a small trace, but that's all I've
tested so far. There are quite certainly a number of problems left, as
well as various TODOs and cleanup; and nothing's cast in stone yet.
Will continue to work on this.
This is a larger internal change that moves the analyzer
infrastructure to a more flexible model where the available analyzers
don't need to be hardcoded at compile time anymore. While currently
they actually still are, this will in the future enable external
analyzer plugins. For now, it does already add the capability to
dynamically enable/disable analyzers from script-land, replacing the
old Analyzer::Available() methods.
There are three major parts going into this:
- A new plugin infrastructure in src/plugin. This is independent
of analyzers and will eventually support plugins for other parts
of Bro as well (think: readers and writers). The goal is that
plugins can be alternatively compiled in statically or loadead
dynamically at runtime from a shared library. While the latter
isn't there yet, there'll be almost no code change for a plugin
to make it dynamic later (hopefully :)
- New analyzer infrastructure in src/analyzer. I've moved a number
of analyzer-related classes here, including Analyzer and DPM;
the latter now renamed to Analyzer::Manager. More will move here
later. Currently, there's only one plugin here, which provides
*all* existing analyzers. We can modularize this further in the
future (or not).
- A new script interface in base/framework/analyzer. I think that
this will eventually replace the dpm framework, but for now
that's still there as well, though some parts have moved over.
I've also remove the dpd_config table; ports are now configured via
the analyzer framework. For exmaple, for SSH:
const ports = { 22/tcp } &redef;
event bro_init() &priority=5
{
...
Analyzer::register_for_ports(Analyzer::ANALYZER_SSH, ports);
}
As you can see, the old ANALYZER_SSH constants have more into an enum
in the Analyzer namespace.
This is all hardly tested right now, and not everything works yet.
There's also a lot more cleanup to do (moving more classes around;
removing no longer used functionality; documenting script and C++
interfaces; regression tests). But it seems to generally work with a
small trace at least.
The debug stream "dpm" shows more about the loaded/enabled analyzers.
A new option -N lists loaded plugins and what they provide (including
those compiled in statically; i.e., right now it outputs all the
analyzers).
This is all not cast-in-stone yet, for some things we need to see if
they make sense this way. Feedback welcome.
