Add a new protocol offering route aggregation.
User can specify list of route attributes in the configuration file and
run route aggregation on the export side of the pipe protocol. Routes are
sorted and for every group of equivalent routes new route is created and
exported to the routing table. It is also possible to specify filter
which will run for every route before aggregation.
Furthermore, it will be possible to set attributes of new routes
according to attributes of the aggregated routes.
This is a work in progress.
Original work by Igor Putovny, subsequent cleanups and finalization by
Maria Matejka.
This is a split-commit of the neighboring aggregator branch
with a bit improved lvalue handling, to have easier merge into v3.
Added a code for computing hash of filter values.
This is a split-commit of the neighboring aggregator branch
with improved lvalue and attribute handling.
Some [redacted] (yes, myself) had a really bad idea
to rename nest/route.h to nest/rt.h while refactoring
some data structures out of it.
This led to unnecessarily complex problems with
merging updates from v2. Reverting this change
to make my life a bit easier.
At least it needed only one find-sed command:
find -name '*.[chlY]' -type f -exec sed -i 's#nest/rt.h#nest/route.h#' '{}' +
This merge was particularly difficult. I finally resorted to delete the
symbol scope active flag altogether and replace its usage by other
means.
Also I had to update custom route attribute registration to fit
both the scope updates in v2 and the data model in v3.

Keywords and attributes are split to separate namespaces, to avoid
collisions between regular keyword use and attribute overlay.
Undefined paths and clists should use typed f_val with empty adata
instead of just void f_val. Use common initializer to handle both
variables and eattrs.
List of arguments for function calls is constructed in reverse and then
reverted. This was done in function_call grammar rule. Do the reverse
directly in var_list grammar rule. This fixes reverse order of arguments
in method calls.
- Extend method descriptors with type signature
- Daisy chain method descriptors for the same symbol
- Dispatch methods for same symbol based on type signature
- Split add/delete/filter operations to multiple methods
- Replace ad-hoc dispatch of old-style syntax with scope-based dispatch
- Also change method->arg_num to count initial arg
It still needs some improvements, like better handling of untyped
expressions and better error reporting when no dispatch can be done.
The multiple dispatch could also be extended to dispatch regular
function-like expressions in a uniform way.
