Bump to the latest btest master version and set BTEST_BG_RUN_SLEEP
environment variable and to 0. This makes btest-bg-run return
immediately instead of delaying by 1 second.
This is a rework of b59bed9d06 moving
HILTI_JIT_PARALLELISM=1 into btest.cfg to make it default applicable to
btest -j users (and CI).
The background for this change is that spicyz may spawn up to nproc compiler
instances by default. Combined with btest -j, this may be nproc x nproc
instances worst case. Particularly with gcc, this easily overloads CI or
local systems, putting them into hard-to-recover-from thrashing/OOM states.
Exporting HILTI_JIT_PARALLELISM in the shell allows overriding.
The produced coverage files are of little use in current local workflows
and usually just end-up taking up disk space. ZEEK_PROFILER_FILE can be
set explicitly if there's a one-off need to produce these locally, too.
If CMakeCache.txt indicates the Zeek build was done with ccache,
take the CCACHE_PROGRAM:FILEPATH= line and populate the
HILTI_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER environment.
For local development with ccache, this speeds up the spicy tests
significantly after the initial run without knowing or needing know
that setting HILTI_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER would've helped.
This moves `auxil/spicy/spicy` to `auxil/spicy`. It relocates the
pieces previously inside that intermediary directory. The main change
is that now tweak the compilation flags for Spicy through target
options.
This is on top of `topic/robin/spicy-plugin`.
This reflects the `spicy-plugin` code as of `d8c296b81cc2a11`.
In addition to moving the code into Zeek's source tree, this comes
with a couple small functional changes:
- `spicyz` no longer tries to infer if it's running from the build
directory. Instead `ZEEK_SPICY_LIBRARY` can be set to a custom
location. `zeek-set-path.sh` does that now.
- ZEEK_CONFIG can be set to change what `spicyz -z` print out. This is
primarily for backwards compatibility.
Some further notes on specifics:
- We raise the minimum Spicy version to 1.8 (i.e., current `main`
branch).
- Renamed the `compiler/` subdirectory to `spicyz` to avoid
include-path conflicts with the Spicy headers.
- In `cmake/`, the corresponding PR brings a new/extended version of
`FindZeek`, which Spicy analyzer packages need. We also now install
some of the files that the Spicy plugin used to bring for testing,
so that existing packages keep working.
- For now, this all remains backwards compatible with the current
`zkg` analyzer templates so that they work with both external and
integrated Spicy support. Later, once we don't need to support any
external Spicy plugin versions anymore, we can clean up the
templates as well.
- All the plugin's tests have moved into the standard test suite. They
are skipped if configure with `--disable-spicy`.
This holds off on adapting the new code further to Zeek's coding
conventions, so that it remains easier to maintain it in parallel to
the (now legacy) external plugin. We'll make a pass over the
formatting for (presumable) Zeek 6.1.
zeek.on('zeek_init', () => {
console.log('Hello, Zeek!');
});
For interaction with external systems and HTTP APIs, JavaScript and the
Node.js ecosystem beat Zeek script. Make it more easily accessible by
including ZeekJS with Zeek directly.
When a recent enough libnode version is found on the build system, ZeekJS is
added as a builtin plugin. This behavior can be disabled via
``--disable-javascript``. Linux distributions providing such a package are
Ubuntu (22.10) and Debian (testing/bookworm) as libnode-dev.
Fedora provides it as nodejs-devel.
This plugin takes over loading of .js or .cjs files. When no such files
are provided to Zeek, Node and the V8 engine are not initialized and
should not get into the way.
This should be considered experimental.
Files in that folder were previously not formatted. With this patch we
now disable formatting in that folder explicitly by adding a dedicated
`clang-format` config which deactivates any formatting changes.
For backward compatibility when reading values, we first check
the ZEEK-prefixed value, and if not set, then check the corresponding
BRO-prefixed value.
This also installs symlinks from "zeek" and "bro-config" to a wrapper
script that prints a deprecation warning.
The btests pass, but this is still WIP. broctl renaming is still
missing.
#239
Scripting errors/mistakes now consistently generate a runtime error
which have the behavior of unwinding the call stack all the way out of
the current event handler.
Before, such errors were not treated consistently and either aborted
the process entirely or emitted a message while continuing to execute
subsequent statements without well-defined behavior (possibly causing
a cascade of errors).
The previous behavior also would only unwind out of the current
function (if within a function body), not out the current event
handler, which is especially problematic for functions that return
a value: the caller is essentially left a mess with no way to deal
with it.
This also changes the behavior of the startup/initialization process
to abort if there's errors during bro_init() rather than continue one
to the main run loop. The `allow_init_errors` option may change this
new, default behavior.
Disable broxygen when running unit tests (except for the tests that use
broxygen). On my dual-core MacBook Pro, this change results in the
unit tests taking about 13% less time to finish running.
This environment variable is now set to listen only on IPv4 loopback
when running unit tests (instead of using the default INADDR_ANY).
This also moves some of the @loads out from init-bare.bro into a new
init-frameworks-and-bifs.bro in order to better support calling BIFs
(like `getenv`) from variable initializations in those particular
frameworks.
Added /sbin to PATH so that a couple of tests that require ifconfig
are not skipped on systems (such as debian) which don't have /sbin
in PATH by default.
Also removed a duplicate default_path.
Later, this might be something btest itself could provide to help
parallelize communication tests. E.g. unit tests requests a unique
number from some range and btest coordinates the distribution of those
among all tests.
