Let me start by saying that I have an actual use case for this in the measurement framework and I'm not just messing around. :)
function add_x(x: count): function(a: count): count
{
local tmp = function(a: count): count
{
# The 'x' variable ends up receiving the value of the same
arity as my inner
# defined function instead of the value of the outer scope
where 'x' is.
return a+x;
};
return tmp;
}
event bro_init()
{
local my_adder = add_x(5);
print my_adder(1); # hopefully would print 6, but it prints 2
local your_adder = add_x(100);
print your_adder(2); # hopefully would print 102, but it prints 4
}
Would this functionality working like I wish it did be difficult? It would
make a very nice usability feature for the measurement framework when setting
thresholds.
