Snort 3.0: STATIC_IPS_OPTIONS, STATIC_IPS_ACTIONS

[Sancho Panza <sancho () posteo de>]

Hello,

in ips_options/ips_options.c there is an array const BaseApi* 
ips_options[] that includes some options *always*, while others are only 
included if "configure" was previously run with "static-ips-actions" 
(#ifdef STATIC_IPS_OPTIONS).

In a similar fashion, in actions/ips_actions.cc, there is an array const 
BaseApi* ips_actions[] that includes act_replace *always* , while other 
actions are only included, if STATIC_IPS_ACTIONS

What's the reason for including some options always statically, even 
though the respective config switch is deactivated?

Many thanks

Sancho
