Robin Sommer updated BIT-1106: ------------------------------ Resolution: Merged (was: Fixed) Status: Closed (was: Merge Request) > Merge topic/bernhard/input-error-fixes > -------------------------------------- > > Key: BIT-1106 > URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1106 > Project: Bro Issue Tracker > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Bro > Affects Versions: git/master > Reporter: Bernhard Amann > > The branch topic/bernhard/input-error-fixes fixes a number of issues of the > input framework that all have to do with errors: > -First: > Due to architectural constraints, it is very hard for the input framework to > handle optional records. For an optional record, either the whole record has > to be missing, or all non-optional elements of the record have to be defined. > This information is not available to input readers after the records have > been unrolled into the threading types. > Behavior so far was to treat optional records like they are non-optional, > without warning. The patch changes this behavior to emit an error on > stream-creation (during type-checking) and refusing to open the file. I think > this is a better idea - the behavior so far was undocumented and unintuitive. > - Second: > For table and event streams, reader backend creation was done very early, > before actually checking if all arguments are valid. Initialization is moved > after the checks now - this makes a number of delete statements unnecessary. > Also - I suspect threads of failed input reader instances were not deleted > until shutdown > - Third: > Add a couple more consistency checks, e.g. checking if the destination value > of a table has the same type as we need. We did not check everything in all > instances, instead we just assigned the things without caring (which works, > but is not really desirable). > This change also exposed a few bugs in other testcases where table > definitions were wrong (did not respect $want_record) > - Fourth: > Improve error messages and write testcases for all error messages (I think). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2-OD-03#6206) _______________________________________________ bro-dev mailing list bro-dev@bro.org http://mailman.icsi.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/bro-dev
