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):

The two hooks being added are:
void HookLogInit(const std::string& writer, const std::string& instantiating_filter, bool local, bool remote, const logging::WriterBackend::WriterInfo& info, int num_fields, const threading::Field* const* fields);
which is called when a writer is being instantiated and contains
information about the fields being logged, as well as
bool HookLogWrite(const std::string& writer, const std::string& filter, const logging::WriterBackend::WriterInfo& info, int num_fields, const threading::Field* const* fields, threading::Value** vals);
which is called for each log line being written by each writer. It
contains all the data being written. The data can be changed in the
function call and lines can be prevented from being written.
This commit also fixes a few small problems with plugin hooks itself,
and extends the tests that were already there, besides introducing tests
for the added functionality.
This change introduces error events for Table and Event readers. Users
can now specify an event that is called when an info, warning, or error
is emitted by their input reader. This can, e.g., be used to raise
notices in case errors occur when reading an important input stream.
Example:
event error_event(desc: Input::TableDescription, msg: string, level: Reporter::Level)
{
...
}
event bro_init()
{
Input::add_table([$source="a", $error_ev=error_event, ...]);
}
For the moment, this converts all errors in the Asciiformatter into
warnings (to show that they are non-fatal) - the Reader itself also has
to throw an Error to show that a fatal error occurred and processing
will be abort.
It might be nicer to change this and require readers to mark fatal
errors as such when throwing them.
Addresses BIT-1181
* origin/topic/seth/json-formatter:
Updating a couple of tests.
Expanded support for modifying the timestamp format in the JSON formatter.
Ascii input reader now supports all config options per-input stream.
Added an option to the JSON formatter to use ISO 8601 for timestamps.
Refactored formatters and updated the the writers a bit.
Includes some minor bugfixes and cleanup at various places, including
in old code.
- Formatters have been abstracted similarly to readers and writers now.
- The Ascii writer has a new option for writing out logs as JSON.
- The Ascii writer now has all options availble as per-filter
options as well as global.
