Long inline-literals often don't wrap pleasantly in HTML renders and
we had a few &default or &deprecated attributes whose expressions
evaluate to a value long enough to warrant different formatting or
even truncation.
It may generally be better for our default use-case, as workers may
save a few percent cpu utilization as this policy does not have to
use any polling like the stealing policy does.
This also helps avoid a potential issue with the implementation of
spinlocks used in the work-stealing policy in current CAF versions,
where there's some conditions where lock contention causes a thread
to spin for long periods without relinquishing the cpu to others.
For broker.log and cluster.log: there was a race condition. A worker's
first IOSource that it processes is potentially Broker if there were
no packets available yet and thread scheduling happens to work out
such that network connections (inside CAF threads) become established
before we enter the main I/O loop. Such peering establishments would
generate logs with timestamp 0 as there was not yet any code path
taken that would update network_time.
For reporter.log: any non-worker (packet-processing) node would just
unnecessarily use a timestamp of 0 for their reporter messages.
- rotate_file
- rotate_file_by_name
- calc_next_rotate
These still have use-cases even though no longer used for our logging
functionality. E.g. rotate_file_by_name may be used to rotate
pcap dump files.
Also the log_rotate_base_time option was marked deprecated, but still
used in the new logging framework.
Currently, creating a StringVal from a std::string did not work with
data that contains \0 characters. This easy fix changes this - and
should also lead to a small speed increase for code using this
constructor.
This obviously means that more data might copied now in some cases that
were previously cut off at the first 0-byte. Our test-suite did not
reveal any such cases.
The default value of an ID is now truly the one used to initialize it,
unaltered by any subsequent redefs.
Redefs are now shown separately, along with the expression that
modifies the ID's value.
* 'paraglob' of https://github.com/ZekeMedley/zeek:
Add leak test to paraglob.
Catch paraglob serialization errors in DoClone.
Update paraglob serialization.
Stop execution on paraglob error.
Update paraglob submodule
Change C++11 detection in paraglob.
Make paraglob serializable and copyable.
Initial paraglob integration.
I made a bunch of small changes:
* paraglob now deals better with \0 characters
* I rolled back the changes to Binary Serialization format,
* there were some small formatting issue
* the error output was slightly unsafe
* build_unique is now in util.h.
and perhaps a few more small things.
Was possible for some failed parsing calls in
RPC_Interpreter::DeliverRPC to set buf to a null-pointer, only for it
to later access it when checking whether the message length appeared
to be legit.
Adding the null-initialization of buf in RPC_Interpreter::Timeout()
was just precautionary -- didn't look like any real bugs with anyone
accessing its uninitialized state at the moment.
