BUG/MEDIUM: log: fix lf_expr_postcheck() behavior with default section
Since
7a21c3a4ef ("MAJOR: log: implement proper postparsing for logformat
expressions"), logformat expressions stored in a default section are not
postchecked anymore. This is because the REGISTER_POST_PROXY_CHECK() only
evaluates regular proxies. Because of this, proxy options which are
automatically enabled on the proxy depending on the logformat expression
features in use are not set on the default proxy, which means such options
are not passed to the regular proxies that inherit from it (proxies that
and will actually be running the logformat expression during runtime).
Because of that, a logformat expression stored inside a default section
and executed by a regular proxy may not behave properly. Also, since
03ca16f38b ("OPTIM: log: resolve logformat options during postparsing"),
it's even worse because logformat node options postresoving is also
skipped, which may also alter logformat expression encoding feature.
To fix the issue, let's add a special case for default proxies in
parse_logformat_string() and lf_expr_postcheck() so that default proxies
are postchecked on the fly during parsing time in a "relaxed" way as we
cannot assume that the features involved in the logformat expression won't
be compatible with the proxy actually running it since we may have
different types of proxies inheriting from the same default section.
This bug was discovered while trying to address GH #2597.
It should be backported to 3.0 with
7a21c3a4ef and
03ca16f38b.
