This mainly (only ?) changes things when we ask for an expression of type STRING or STTRING_LIST. Previously addition and subtraction would follow the general rule, "first argument determines intial type" and that would make an expression like this fail: set resp.http.server_port_foo = std.port(server.ip) + "_foo"; Because the addition tries to evaluate "INT + STRING". The idea was that people would rewrite this as: set resp.http.server_port_foo = "" + std.port(server.ip) + "_foo"; To make the first argument STRING and everything will then just work. However, this is needlessly strict in the case where we are actively desiring the expression to evaluate to STRING -- like above where resp.http.* has type STRING. With the new code, when an impossible addition is encountered, it will look at the type requested of the expression, and if it is STRING, convert the current subexpression to STRING and continue adding. A large number of subtests which are designed to fail started working with this change, they have been fixed by not using *.http.* variables as scaffolding.. You can still get into some weird corner-cases like the difference between: set resp.http.foobar = req.ttl + 1s + "_" + req.ttl + 1s; and set resp.http.foobar = req.ttl + 1s + "_" + req.ttl + 1; and set resp.http.foobar = req.ttl + 1s + "_" + (req.ttl + 1s); (Hint: The last one is the only one which does what you think) Fixes #1579
