#22208: Provide lines containing extra, unrecognized arguments -------------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: karsten | Owner: metrics-team Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Metrics/metrics-lib | Version: Severity: Normal | Keywords: Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | -------------------------------------+-------------------------- This question came up when implementing [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21934#comment:4 #21934]: do we need to include lines with extra arguments in `Descriptor#getUnrecognizedLines()`? Or do we need another method `Descriptor#getPartiallyUnrecognizedLines()`? Or can we safely drop those extra arguments on the floor? See also `TorperfResults#getUnrecognizedKeys()` which is somewhat related here, but not exactly the same.
This is not super urgent, because at least the bytes of the entire descriptor are available for further processing. The fix is also not trivial to write, because we'll have manually go through all places where extra arguments are permitted and ignored and add those lines to a list of partially unrecognized lines. The result could be that doing nothing is the way to go. Needs more thoughts. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22208> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
