After flattening the route attribute structure, the ea_list ** is derivable
from rte * by arithmetics. Caching the derived value doesn't help performance
and therefore is removed as unnecessary.
For loops allow to iterate over elements in compound data like BGP paths
or community lists. The syntax is:
for [ <type> ] <variable> in <expr> do <command-body>
Allow variable declarations mixed with code, also in nested blocks with
proper scoping, and with variable initializers. E.g:
function fn(int a)
{
int b;
int c = 10;
if a > 20 then
{
b = 30;
int d = c * 2;
print a, b, c, d;
}
string s = "Hello";
}
When f_line is done, we have to pop the stack frame. The old code just
removed nominal number of args/vars. Change it to use stored ventry value
modified by number of returned values. This allows to allocate variables
on a stack frame during execution of f_lines instead of just at start.
But we need to know the number of returned values for a f_line. It is 1
for term, 0 for cmd. Store that to f_line during linearization.
Direct recursion almost worked, just crashed on function signature check.
Split function parsing such that function signature is saved before
function body is processed. Recursive calls are marked so they can be
avoided during f_same() and similar code walking.
Also, include tower of hanoi solver as a test case.
Add literal for empty set [], which works both for tree-based sets
and prefix sets by using existing constant promotion mechanism.
Minor changes by committer.
All instructions with a return value (i.e. expressions, ones with
non-zero outval, third argument in INST()) should declare their return
type. Check that automatically by M4 macros.
Set outval of FI_RETURN to 0. The instruction adds one value to stack,
but syntactically it is a statement, not an expression.
Add fake return type declaration to FI_CALL, otherwise the automatic
check would fail builds.
Pass instructions of function call arguments as vararg arguments to
FI_CALL instruction constructor and move necessary magic from parser
code to interpreter / instruction code.
There were quite a lot of conflicts in flowspec validation code which
ultimately led to some code being a bit rewritten, not only adapted from
this or that branch, yet it is still in a limit of a merge.
For now, all route attributes are stored as eattrs in ea_list. This
should make route manipulation easier and it also allows for a layered
approach of route attributes where updates from filters will be stored
as an overlay over the previous version.
As there is either a nexthop or another destination specification
(or othing in case of ROAs and Flowspec), it may be merged together.
This code is somehow quirky and should be replaced in future by better
implementation of nexthop.
Also flowspec validation result has its own attribute now as it doesn't
have anything to do with route nexthop.
This doesn't do anything more than to put the whole structure inside
adata. The overall performance is certainly going downhill; we'll
optimize this later.
Anyway, this is one of the latest items inside rta and in several
commits we may drop rta completely and move to eattrs-only routes.
The route scope attribute was used for simple user route marking. As
there is a better tool for this (custom attributes), the old and limited
way can be dropped.
Changes in internal API:
* Every route attribute must be defined as struct ea_class somewhere.
* Registration of route attributes known at startup must be done by
ea_register_init() from protocol build functions.
* Every attribute has now its symbol registered in a global symbol table
defined as SYM_ATTRIBUTE
* All attribute ID's are dynamically allocated.
* Attribute value custom formatting hook is defined in the ea_class.
* Attribute names are the same for display and filters, always prefixed
by protocol name.
Also added some unit testing code for filters with route attributes.
This commit removes the EAF_TYPE_* namespace completely and also for
route attributes, filter-based types T_* are used. This simplifies
fetching and setting route attributes from filters.
Also, there is now union bval which serves as an universal value holder
instead of private unions held separately by eattr and filter code.
Before this change, fetch-update-write and bitmasking was hardcoded in
attribute access code cased by the attribute type. Several filter
instructions are used to do it instead.
As this is certainly going to be a little bit slower than before, the
switch block in attribute access code should be completely removed in
near future, helping with both performance and code cleanliness.
The user interface should have stayed intact.
