Robin Sommer updated BIT-1315: ------------------------------ Resolution: Merged (was: Fixed) Status: Closed (was: Merge Request) > Teach Bro how to 'while' > ------------------------ > > Key: BIT-1315 > URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1315 > Project: Bro Issue Tracker > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Bro > Reporter: Jon Siwek > Assignee: Robin Sommer > Priority: Low > Fix For: 2.4 > > > topic/jsiwek/while has an implementation of a general purpose 'while' loop. > If one wants to hack around the current limitation of only looping over > collections, they're going to do it (e.g. recursion), so why not just provide > a more convenient way instead? The mess you have to write to work around the > limitation may be more error-prone than just providing a simple while loop. > An alternative to adding 'while' to the language might be to allow "for ()" > to be an unbounded loop and force the author to put the necessary > break/return conditions in the body. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4-OD-14-082#64012) _______________________________________________ bro-dev mailing list bro-dev@bro.org http://mailman.icsi.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/bro-dev
