Comment:
Hmmm … That indeed sounds like a bigger problem. The exception is a
relatively recent addition, before that Bro would just abort with an
internal error for many runtime errors. So not much we can do right now.
Regarding smart pointers, yes, in principle, but that's a *big* task, with
potential to introduce very subtle problems. So while it's on the roadmap,
I'm actually reluctant to tackle it soon. Also, perhaps this can be taken
core of by eventually compiling Bro scripts, which will remove lots of the
relevant code anyway long-term. But that's all something for a longer
discussion.
I'm leaving this ticket open, but I'm removing the milestone.
