#923: Parse Error Missing in Record/Type Confusion
------------------------+---------------------
Reporter: grigorescu | Type: Problem
Status: new | Priority: Normal
Milestone: Bro2.2 | Component: Bro
Version: git/master | Keywords:
------------------------+---------------------
The following code:
{{{
type test_record: record { my_string: string; };
function test(s: test_record) { print test_record$my_string; }
event bro_init() { test([$my_string="Hello"]); }
}}}
causes a reporter error: {{{fatal error in <no location>: Val::CONVERTER
(type/record) (<no value description>)}}}. Note that function test is
attempting to access test_record$my_string (where test_record is a type)
as opposed to s$my_string (where s is an instance of test_record).
This is a message that I've seen before, and had a very hard time
debugging. It seems like this should generate a parse error, or at the
very least, report the location.
