Seth Hall updated BIT-757:
--------------------------
Your proposal sounds great to me.
> Change split* to return a string_vec rather string_array
> --------------------------------------------------------

> Key: BIT-757
> URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-757
> Project: Bro Issue Tracker
> Issue Type: Problem
> Components: Bro
> Affects Versions: git/master
> Reporter: Matthias Vallentin
> Assignee: Jon Siwek
> Labels: language
> Fix For: 2.4

>
> Currently, `{{split}}{{ and friends return a }}{{string_array}}{{, which is a
> }}{{table[count] of string}}{{. However, these BiFs should return a
> }}{{string_vec}}{{ or }}{{vector of string}}{{ to allow for sequential
> iteration over the result. The problem with the current approach is not only
> that it is wrong modeled (the associative container does not make sense), but
> also that iteration over the elements, which are obviously ordered, is
> neither deterministic nor sequential. Presumably this mismatch exists because
> vectors were not available when the }}{{split*}}` functions have been created.
