Changes:
- Changing semantics of the new_event() meta event: it's raised
only for events that have a handler defined. There are too many
checks in Bro that prevent events wo/ handler from being even
prepared to raise to do that differently.
- Adding test case.
* topic/robin/event-dumper:
New script misc/dump-events.bro, along with core support, that dumps events Bro is raising in an easily readable form.
Prettyfing Describe() for record types.
in an easily readable form.
This is for debugging purposes, obviously.
Example, including only SMTP events:
> bro -r smtp.trace misc/dump-events.bro DumpEvents::include=/smtp/

Add a "broxygen" domain Sphinx extension w/ directives to allow
on-the-fly documentation to be generated w/ Bro and included in files.
This means all autogenerated reST docs are now done by Bro. The odd
CMake/Python glue scipts which used to generate some portions are now
gone. Bro and the Sphinx extension handle checking for outdated docs
themselves.
Parallel builds of `make doc` target should now work (mostly because
I don't think there's any tasks that can be done in parallel anymore).
Overall, this seems to simplify things and make the Broxygen-generated
portions of the documentation visible/traceable from the main Sphinx
source tree. The one odd thing still is that per-script documentation
is rsync'd in to a shadow copy of the Sphinx source tree within the
build dir. This is less elegant than using the new broxygen extension
to make per-script docs, but rsync is faster and simpler. Simpler as in
less code because it seems like, in the best case, I'd need to write a
custom Sphinx Builder to be able to get that to even work.
* origin/topic/vladg/ssh-log-fix:
Remove resp_size from the log. Refactor when we write out to the log a bit. Geodata now works reliably.
Fix resp_size in ssh.log, require a minimum resp_size for the heuristic. Some work on geodata, but still a WIP.
They just duplicated the text from where the events are originally
declared and also it's not generally useful to Broxygen-style comment
event *handlers* (they're more of an implementation detail of a script,
not a user-facing element).
* origin/topic/dnthayer/doc-changes-for-2.2:
Add gawk to list of optional packages
Add more script package README files
Add NEWS about new features of broctl and upgrade info
Some documentation of commented-out items was being output to HTML,
which was causing that documentation to be merged with the
documentation of the next item. Fixed by changing "##" to "#" so
that the doc comments are not included in the HTML.
Snapshotting the work in this branch. I'll merge it again later as we
get closer to the release.
