A doubt regarding RecordVal

8, since that's how many are defined for the corresponding type in bro.init.

I don't know where you got those lines, but they won't work if you execute
them (follow the code executed by RecordVal::Assign).

No.  You have to manually make sure that your assignments to the record
value in the event engine are consistent with the number of fields *and their
types* as defined in bro.init.
