Specifying &length on a record no longer skips generating boundary
checks for individual fields. E.g. a record field that specifies a
&length that extends beyond the &length of the record containing it
should throw binpac::ExceptionOutOfBound, the usual way of handling
out-of-bounds conditions.
Field lengths derived from other data in the input could potentially
lead to reading from outside the bounds of the input buffer.

before anything else.
Internally, this function compiles all regular expressions, avoiding
to that inside the regexp constructore. The code is a bit hackish due
to the way the regexp code depends on the Bro header.
This helps ensure the availability of PRI* macros from .pac files,
which cannot create this definition themselves since the inclusion
of binpac.h is hardcoded to be placed very early in the generated
code and already includes inttypes.h itself.
Strings with a constant &length expression can be checked for negative
length values while generating the parser instead of in the parser
itself (which likely just ends up being dead code).
The code generated for types w/ &refcount will subclass RefCount and
Unref definitely deletes via a pointer to that base class so it needs a
virtual dtor.
parsers.
This consists of two parts:
1. The generated Flow classes expose their flow buffers via a new
method flow_buffer().
2. Flow buffers get two new methods:
// Interface for delayed parsing. Sometimes BinPAC doesn't get the
// buffering right and then one can use these to feed parts
// individually and assemble them internally. After calling
// FinishBuffer(), one can send the uppper-layer flow an FlowEOF()
// to trigger parsing.
void BufferData(const_byteptr data, const_byteptr end);
void FinishBuffer();
Switch to using a no-argument throw to preserve the dynamic type of
the binpac exception. Otherwise, the exception is "sliced" and can only
be subsequently handled as binpac::Exception and not a derived type.
This allows analyzers to define their own types of the same name
without mistakingly overshadowing the usages of binpac::Exception
and its derived types in the generated parser code.
If set, parsed elements won't actually be added to the array, and read
access to the array aren't permitted. This is helpful to save memory
in the case of large arrays for which elements don't need (or can't)
be buffered.
Also set some convenience variables that mimic what a FindBinPAC
module would set. These could be used by a superproject that
wants to decide whether to use an existing BinPAC installation
or (re)build from source.
