How can I add an element to a table, since I get a "run-time error" if I try
to index a table with a value which is not in the table (as it is specified in
the bro language)?
It's not clear to me what you're asking. If the problem is "how do I add
a value to a table element if the table element might not be present yet",
the answer is to test with the "in" operator:
if ( foo in my_table )
my_table[foo] += additional_value;
else
my_table[foo] = additional_value;
With the 0.7 release, you'll be able to specify default values for
table entries, so this will look like:
global my_table: table[foo_type] of count &default = 0;
and then you can add to it using simply
my_table[foo] += additional_value;
Or are you asking about something different?
