It turns out that the netencode spec requiring to ignore *later* entries meant that every parser has to do an extra check for each element, instead of just overriding the key in the hash map. This leads to a situation where the simple implementation is the wrong one, which would lead to very subtle problems in parsers (see also the infamous “json duplicate record entry” problem which has been used for various exploits in the past). To be fair, exploits are still possible, but at least a `Map.fromList` will be the right implementation (provided it folds from the left) now instead of the wrong one. Examples of the trivial implementation being now right: Python: > dict([("foo", 1), ("foo", 2)]) {'foo': 2} Rust: > println!("{:?}", HashMap::from([ ("foo", 1), ("foo", 2) ])); {"foo": 2} Haskell: > Data.Map.fromList [ ("foo", 1), ("foo", 2) ] fromList [("foo",2)] Change-Id: Ife9593956f4718e5e720f4f348c227e4f3a71e2d Reviewed-on: https://cl.tvl.fyi/c/depot/+/5108 Tested-by: BuildkiteCI Reviewed-by: Profpatsch <mail@profpatsch.de> Reviewed-by: sterni <sternenseemann@systemli.org> Autosubmit: Profpatsch <mail@profpatsch.de> |
