Hi Tom,
(Sorry for replying in another thread, I have a problem on mail settings)
I've just read your hash event trigger series, and want to give some feedback.
At first, the change log of 5/5 is actually a better documentation than in patch 4/5 so I think it should be added to the doc also. But the syntax of the hash trigger should be look like:
- # echo hash:key(s):value(s)[:sort_keys()][ if filter] > event/trigger + # echo hash:key(s):value(s)[:"sort="sort_key(s)][ if filter] > event/trigger
Also on first example in the changelog of 5/5, key should be 'stacktrace' instead of 'call_site'.
As far as I see in the code, the sort key can receive an optional descending/ascending modifier, but it's not documented.
One thing I noticed in the main logic is that it seems there's no limit checking when adding/creating new entry. In hash_trigger_entry_create(), there's a check against max_entries but if it goes beyond the max, it'd just access a NULL pointer AFAICS. Am I missing something? Also I don't know what the difference between ->n_entries and ->total_entries (in hash_data).
I guess you wanted to set ->drops in that case, but I cannot find where it gets set. And I'm not sure it's good to check ->drop first, since entry can find an existing entry and merged to it even if it reached the max already.
Thanks, Namhyung
