hi all,

i'm playing around with broccoli and i have problems with events that contain enum type. the event is defined in a policy and i can use it for inter-bro-comunication, but broccoli ignores it. calling the event without the enum type argument works well.  
where is my mistake?

thanks!!  
sandro

example:  
c code (modified 'broping'):

bro\_mytest(BroConn \*conn, void \*data, uint32 \*num, BroRecord \*status)  
{  
&nbsp;&nbsp;/\*just print a simple message....\*/  
&nbsp;&nbsp;printf("event mytest received!\n");  
}

bro\_event\_registry\_add(bc, "mytest", (BroEventFunc) bro\_mytest, NULL) ;

policy code:

type testtype : enum  
{  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;first\_type,  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;second\_type,  
};

# 1) does'nt work with broccoli!  
event mytest(123, first\_type);

# 2) this works!  
event mytest(123);
