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.
Doesn't generate any docs, but it's hooked in to all places needed to
gather the necessary stuff w/ significantly less coupling than before.
The gathering now always occurs unconditionally to make documentation
available at runtime and a command line switch (-X) only toggles whether
to output docs to disk (reST format).
Should also improve the treatment of type name aliasing which wasn't a
big problem in practice before, but I think it's more correct now:
there's now a distinct BroType for each alias, but extensible types
(record/enum) will automatically update the types for aliases on redef.
Other misc refactoring of note:
- Removed a redundant/unused way of declaring event types.
- Changed type serialization format/process to preserve type name
information and remove compatibility code (since broccoli will
have be updated anyway).
They conflict with the "char" version, so that other classes would now
pick the wrong one. Added a bit of casting to HLL to use the "char"
versions instead.
* origin/topic/bernhard/hyperloglog: (32 commits)
add clustered leak test for hll. No issues.
make gcc happy
(hopefully) fix refcounting problem in hll/bloom-filter opaque vals. Thanks Robin.
re-use same hash class for all add operations
get hll ready for merging
and forgot a file...
adapt to new structure
fix opaqueval-related memleak.
make it compile on case-sensitive file systems and fix warnings
make error rate configureable
add persistence test not using predetermined random seeds.
update cluster test to also use hll
persistence really works.
well, with this commit synchronizing the data structure should work.. ...if we had consistent hashing.
and also serialize the other things we need
ok, this bug was hard to find.
serialization compiles.
change plugin after feedback of seth
Forgot a file. Again. Like always. Basically.
do away with old file.
...
pass yet.
Changes:
- Gave IPAddress/IPPrefix methods AsString() so that one doesn't need
to cast to get a string represenation.
- Val::AsAddr()/AsSubnet() return references rather than pointers. I
find that more intuitive.
- ODesc/Serializer/SerializationFormat get methods to support
IPAddress/IPPrefix directly.
- Reformatted the comments in IPAddr.h from /// to /** style.
- Given IPPrefix a Contains() method.
- A bit of cleanup.
The Logger class is now in charge of reporting all errors, warnings,
informational messages, weirds, and syslogs. All other components
route their messages through the global bro_logger singleton.
The Logger class comes with these reporting methods:
void Message(const char* fmt, ...);
void Warning(const char* fmt, ...);
void Error(const char* fmt, ...);
void FatalError(const char* fmt, ...); // Terminate Bro.
void Weird(const char* name);
[ .. some more Weird() variants ... ]
void Syslog(const char* fmt, ...);
void InternalWarning(const char* fmt, ...);
void InternalError(const char* fmt, ...); // Terminates Bro.
See Logger.h for more information on these.
Generally, the reporting now works as follows:
- All non-fatal message are reported in one of two ways:
(1) At startup (i.e., before we start processing packets),
they are logged to stderr.
(2) During processing, they turn into events:
event log_message%(msg: string, location: string%);
event log_warning%(msg: string, location: string%);
event log_error%(msg: string, location: string%);
The script level can then handle them as desired.
If we don't have an event handler, we fall back to
reporting on stderr.
- All fatal errors are logged to stderr and Bro terminates
immediately.
- Syslog(msg) directly syslogs, but doesn't do anything else.
The three main types of messages can also be generated on the
scripting layer via new Log::* bifs:
Log::error(msg: string);
Log::warning(msg: string);
Log::message(msg: string);
These pass through the bro_logger as well and thus are handled in the
same way. Their output includes location information.
More changes:
- Removed the alarm statement and the alarm_hook event.
- Adapted lots of locations to use the bro_logger, including some
of the messages that were previously either just written to
stdout, or even funneled through the alarm mechanism.
- No distinction anymore between Error() and RunTime(). There's
now only one class of errors; the line was quite blurred already
anyway.
- util.h: all the error()/warn()/message()/run_time()/pinpoint()
functions are gone. Use the bro_logger instead now.
- Script errors are formatted a bit differently due to the
changes. What I've seen so far looks ok to me, but let me know
if there's something odd.
Notes:
- The default handlers for the new log_* events are just dummy
implementations for now since we need to integrate all this into
the new scripts anyway.
- I'm not too happy with the names of the Logger class and its
instance bro_logger. We now have a LogMgr as well, which makes
this all a bit confusing. But I didn't have a good idea for
better names so I stuck with them for now.
Perhaps we should merge Logger and LogMgr?
