Summary: Teach Bro how to 'while'
Key: BIT-1315
URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1315
Project: Bro Issue Tracker
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Bro
Reporter: Jon Siwek
Priority: Low
Fix For: 2.4
topic/jsiwek/while has an implementation of a general purpose 'while' loop. If
one wants to hack around the current limitation of only looping over
collections, they're going to do it (e.g. recursion), so why not just provide a
more convenient way instead? The mess you have to write to work around the
limitation may be more error-prone than just providing a simple while loop.
An alternative to adding 'while' to the language might be to allow "for ()" to
be an unbounded loop and force the author to put the necessary break/return
conditions in the body.
