Both the filter and filter element operators are completely broken in the current Compose* implementation. The filter operators were broken by Dirk's filter module parameter patch. The code that would link the right hand side of the operator doesn't do anything because at that time no instances of FilterModule exist (FilterModule instances are created from FilterModuleASTs in REXREF). As a result all filter operators won't have a right hand side assigned. On top of that the implementation is flawed. Because of filter module parameters every FilterModule instance has unique filter instances, therefore it should also have unique filter operator instances.
Filter element operators never worked because the linking algorithm was flawed. The last filter element will point to itself through the filter element operator. And this operator is also bugged with the unique instance issue. Both bugs look harmless, only FIRE2 references these operators and completely ignores the right hand side value. It will assume the filters and filter elements appear in order of execution. This assumption will ofcourse render the operators partially useless. All other modules should either use FIRE2's execution model or not rely on the function of these operators (which is the case afaik). In COPPER2 te operators will be properly linked. The unique instance issue will not be fixed for the moment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
