Hi,

We are trying to filter unwanted communities that our peering partners have 
forgot to remove in order not to send them to other peering parties.
In order to do this we add the communities we want to a clist parameter, empty 
bgp_community, then add the clist back to bgp_community.

The configuration is like this :

function check_allow_communities()
clist myc;
    {
        if ( (100,101) ~ bgp_community )  then { myc = add(myc, (100,101)); }
        if ( (100,102) ~ bgp_community )  then { myc = add(myc, (100,102)); }
        return myc;
    }

function check_deny_communities()
clist myc;
    {
        if ( (0,101) ~ bgp_community )  then { myc = add(myc, (0,101)); } 
        if ( (0,102) ~ bgp_community )  then { myc = add(myc, (0,102)); }
        return myc;
    }

filter bgp_in_100
    pair set allow_communities;
    pair set deny_communities;
    {
        if ( is_martian() ) then {
            reject "Prefix filtered out by is_martian";
        }
        else {
             allow_communities = check_allow_communities();
             deny_communities = check_deny_communities();
             bgp_community.empty;
             bgp_community.add((100,1000));
             bgp_community.add((100,3000));
             bgp_community.add(allow_communities);
             bgp_community.add(deny_communities);
             accept;
        }
    }

The problem appears in the log fie :

Jun 15 15:59:59 jls bird: filters, line 21: Can't add/delete to non-clist
Jun 15 15:59:59 jls last message repeated 4 times
Jun 15 15:59:59 jls bird: ...

We are running BIRD 1.3.1 on FreeBSD 6.2.

Can you please point me in the right direction ?

Best Regards,
