While we support initializing records via coercion from an expression
list, e.g.,
local x: X = [$x1=1, $x2=2];
this can sometimes obscure the code to readers, e.g., when assigning to
value declared and typed elsewhere. The language runtime has a similar
overhead since instead of just constructing a known type it needs to
check at runtime that the coercion from the expression list is valid;
this can be slower than just writing the readible code in the first
place, see #4559.
With this patch we use explicit construction, e.g.,
local x = X($x1=1, $x2=2);
This reworks the parser such that COM_CHANGE_USER switches the
connection back into the CONNECTION_PHASE so that we can remove the
EXPECT_AUTH_SWITCH special case in the COMMAND_PHASE. Adds two pcaps
produced with Python that actually do COM_CHANGE_USER as it seems
not possible from the MySQL CLI.
We were parsing MySQL using bigendian even though the protocol is
specified as with "least significant byte first" [1]. This is most
problematic when parsing length encoded strings with 2 byte length
fields...
Further, I think, the EOF_Packet parsing was borked, either due to
testing the CLIENT_DEPRECATE_EOF with the wrong endianness, or due to
the workaround in Resultset processing raising mysql_ok(). Introduce a
new mysql_eof() that triggers for EOF_Packet's and remove the fake
mysql_ok() Resultset invocation to fix. Adapt the mysql script and tests
to account for the new event.
This is a quite backwards incompatible change on the event level, but
due to being quite buggy in general, doubt this matters to many.
I think there is more buried, but this fixes the violation of the simple
"SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS" and the existing tests continue to
succeed...

This adds a "policy" hook into the logging framework's streams and
filters to replace the existing log filter predicates. The hook
signature is as follows:
hook(rec: any, id: Log::ID, filter: Log::Filter);
The logging manager invokes hooks on each log record. Hooks can veto
log records via a break, and modify them if necessary. Log filters
inherit the stream-level hook, but can override or remove the hook as
needed.
The distribution's existing log streams now come with pre-defined
hooks that users can add handlers to. Their name is standardized as
"log_policy" by convention, with additional suffixes when a module
provides multiple streams. The following adds a handler to the Conn
module's default log policy hook:
hook Conn::log_policy(rec: Conn::Info, id: Log::ID, filter: Log::Filter)
{
if ( some_veto_reason(rec) )
break;
}
By default, this handler will get invoked for any log filter
associated with the Conn::LOG stream.
The existing predicates are deprecated for removal in 4.1 but continue
to work.
This adds two new functions: `Conn::register_removal_hook()` and
`Conn::unregister_removal_hook()` for registering a hook function to be
called back during `connection_state_remove`. The benefit of using hook
callback approach is better scalability: the overhead of unrelated
protocols having to dispatch no-op `connection_state_remove` handlers is
avoided.
And switch Zeek's base scripts over to using it in place of
"connection_state_remove". The difference between the two is
that "connection_state_remove" is raised for all events while
"successful_connection_remove" excludes TCP connections that were never
established (just SYN packets). There can be performance benefits
to this change for some use-cases.
There's also a new event called ``connection_successful`` and a new
``connection`` record field named "successful" to help indicate this new
property of connections.
