Seth Hall commented on BIT-1192:
--------------------------------

You defined that last one incorrectly...

 local cmd_bad = Exec::Command([$cmd=strcmd]);

The square brackets create a record and then you're doing the named ctor thing, so it's a record in a record.  Am I misunderstanding something?

> If you redundantly define a record as in cmd_bad:
> {code}
> event bro_init()
> {
>     local strcmd = "echo hi";
>     print "inline", [$cmd=strcmd];
>     local cmd_ok = Exec::Command($cmd=strcmd);

>     local cmd_bad = Exec::Command([$cmd=strcmd]);
>     print "bad", cmd_bad;
> }
> {code}
> You get this:
> {code}
> inline, [cmd=echo hi]
> ok, [cmd=echo hi, stdin=, read_files=<uninitialized>, uid=BHMrHdIapni]
> bad, [cmd=[cmd=echo hi], stdin=, read_files=<uninitialized>, uid=NsfjD555BY1]
> {code}
