Assertion failed: compiler->errors == 0 about go-yara HOT 5 CLOSED

@blacktop Thanks for pointing out that unexpected behavior to me. I have updated the documentation and introduced some workaround code so that programs no longer crash and an error is returned instead.

from go-yara.

Unfortunately, the YR_COMPILER object becomes unusable once it has run into an error. I'm afraid you'll need to abort if you detect en error in https://github.com/malice-plugins/yara/blob/dc593215a668d229a01c7c3afdf676f814d98902/yara.go#L91.

Does this help?

from go-yara.

Do I need to abort everything or can I just destroy the compiler and re-create it?

from go-yara.

re-creating the compiler object ought to do it.

from go-yara.

destroying and recreating did the trick 😉

thank you for making such an awesome library 👍
