The bgpmask literals can include expressions. This is OK but they have
to be interpreted as soon as the code is run, not in the time the code
is used as value.
This led to strange behavior like rewriting bgpmasks when they shan't
be rewritten:
function mask_generator(int as)
{
return [= * as * =];
}
function another()
bgpmask m1;
bgpmask m2;
{
m1 = mask_generator(10);
m2 = mask_generator(20);
if (m1 == m2) {
print("strange"); # this would happen
}
}
Moreover, sending this to CLI would cause stack overflow and knock down the
whole BIRD, as soon as there is at least one route to execute the given
filter on.
show route filter bgpmask mmm; bgppath ppp; { ppp = +empty+; mmm = [= (ppp ~ mmm) =]; print(mmm); accept; }
The magic match operator (~) inside the bgpmask literal would try to
resolve mmm, which points to the same bgpmask so it would resolve
itself, call the magic match operator and vice versa.
After this patch, the bgpmask literal will get resolved as soon as it's
assigned to mmm and it also will return a type error as bool is not
convertible to ASN in BIRD.
The two-letter instructions were quite messy but they could be easily
read from memory dumps. Now GDB (since 2012) supports pretty printing
enum values and GCC checks the switch construction for missing enum
values so we are converting the nice two-byte values to enums.
Anyway, the enum still keeps the old two-byte values to be able to read
the instruction codes even without GDB from plain memory dump.

- Integration of BirdTest into the BIRD build system

Based on squashed Pavel Tvrdik's int-test branch, updated for
current int-new branch.
Add support for large communities (draft-ietf-idr-large-community),
96bit alternative to RFC 1997 communities.
Thanks to Matt Griswold for the original patch.
Explicit setting of AF_INET(6|) in IP socket creation. BFD set to listen
on v6, without setting the V6ONLY flag to catch both v4 and v6 traffic.
Squashing and minor changes by Ondrej Santiago Zajicek
New data types net_addr and variants (in lib/net.h) describing
network addresses (prefix/pxlen). Modifications of FIB structures
to handle these data types and changing everything to use these
data types instead of prefix/pxlen pairs where possible.
The commit is WiP, some protocols are not yet updated (BGP, Kernel),
and the code contains some temporary scaffolding.
Comments are welcome.
- ROA tables, which are used as a basic part for RPKI.
- Commands for examining and modifying ROA tables.
- Filter operators based on ROA tables consistent with RFC 6483.
- Fixes several conflicts in the grammar.
- Fixes a bug in (a..b, c) pair patterns.
- Makes pair patterns orthogonal.
- Allows term expressions in pair patterns without additional ( ).
- Allows several comma separated values in switch cases.
