Most syntactic constructs in BIRD configuration (e.g. protocol options)
are defined as keywords, which are distinct from symbols (user-defined
names for protocols, variables, ...). That may cause backwards
compatibility issue when a new feature is added, as it may collide with
existing user names.
We can allow keywords to be shadowed by symbols in almost all cases to
avoid this issue.
This replaces the previous mechanism, where shadowable symbols have to be
explictly added to kw_syms.
we want to allow filter and similar complex constructs to be used in commands
and we should avoid code duplication), only with CLI_MARKER token prepended
before the whole input.
Defined macro CF_CLI(cmd, args, help) for defining CLI commands in .Y files.
The first argument specifies the command itself, the remaining two arguments
are copied to the help file (er, will be copied after the help file starts
to exist). This macro automatically creates a skeleton rule for the command,
you only need to append arguments as in:
CF_CLI(STEAL MONEY, <$>, [[Steal <$> US dollars or equivalent in any other currency]]): NUM {
cli_msg(0, "%d$ stolen", $3);
} ;
Also don't forget to reset lexer state between inputs.
