#660: Initializing a table with a record as an index does not work
--------------------+---------------------
Reporter: amannb | Type: Problem
Status: new | Priority: Normal
Milestone: | Component: Bro
Version: | Keywords:
--------------------+---------------------
The following code
{{{
type irecord: record {
resp_h: addr;
};
global my_table: table[irecord] of int = {
[[$resp_h=1.2.3.4]] = 12,
};
}}}
results in an error:
{{{
error in ./bug2.bro, line 7: illegal initializer ([[$resp_h=1.2.3.4]] =
12)
}}}
It probably should return an initialized table.

Using a record as an index on a table or set is usually not a good idea.
Lookups may not happen as you expect if you are using a different record
instance to index into the table or set since Bro isn't doing value
equality but actually looking for the same record.

Are you sure? This works as I would expect it:
{{{
type r: record {
a: string;
};
global foo: table[r] of count;
global a: r = [$a="foo"];
global b: r = [$a="foo"];
global c: r = [$a="bar"];
foo[a] = 1;
print a in foo;
print b in foo;
print c in foo;
}}}

Damn, you're right. We should talk about finding some way to rethink
record and table initializers eventually. There are too many
inconsistencies with how they are done currently.

Yeah, and using a two-element record for ``r`` gives me parser error. :-(

In [f6d5da423cccc5585d191a3d48745977659eca79/bro]:
{{{
#!CommitTicketReference repository="bro"
revision="f6d5da423cccc5585d191a3d48745977659eca79"
Fix record constructors in table initializer indices. Addresses #660.
For an index expression list, ListExpr::InitVal() passed the TypeList
to Expr::InitVal() for each expression element in the list instead of
the type for that element. This made RecordConstructorExpr::InitVal()
complain since it expects a RecordType and not a TypeList with a
RecordType element as an argument. In most other cases, Expr::InitVal()
worked because check_and_promote() "flattens" the list to a single type.
