/* OVN matching expression tree
 * ============================
 *
 * The data structures here form an abstract expression tree for matching
 * expressions in OVN.
 *
 * The abstract syntax tree representation of a matching expression is one of:
 *
 *    - A Boolean literal ("true" or "false").
 *
 *    - A comparison of a field (or part of a field) against a constant
 *      with one of the operators == != < <= > >=.
 *
 *    - The logical AND or OR of two or more matching expressions.
 *
 * Literals and comparisons are called "terminal" nodes, logical AND and OR
 * nodes are "nonterminal" nodes.
 *
 * The syntax for expressions includes a few other concepts that are not part
 * of the abstract syntax tree.  In these examples, x is a field, a, b, and c
 * are constants, and e1 and e2 are arbitrary expressions:
 *
 *    - Logical NOT.  The parser implements NOT by inverting the sense of the
 *      operand: !(x == a) becomes x != a, !(e1 && e2) becomes !e1 || !e2, and
 *      so on.
 *
 *    - Set membership.  The parser translates x == {a, b, c} into
 *      x == a || x == b || x == c.
 *
 *    - Reversed comparisons.  The parser translates a < x into x > a.
 *
 *    - Range expressions.  The parser translates a < x < b into
 *      x > a && x < b.

/* A symbol.
 *
 *
 * Name
 * ====
 *
 * Every symbol must have a name.  To be useful, the name must satisfy the
 * lexer's syntax for an identifier.
 *
 *
 * Width
 * =====
 *
 * Every symbol has a width.  For integer symbols, this is the number of bits
 * in the value; for string symbols, this is 0.
 *
 *
 * Types
 * =====
 *
 * There are three kinds of symbols:
 *
 *   Fields:
 *
 *     One might, for example, define a field named "vlan.tci" to refer to
 *     MFF_VLAN_TCI.  For integer fields, 'field' specifies the referent; for
 *     string fields, 'field' is NULL.
 *
 *     'expansion' is NULL.
 *
 *     Integer fields can be nominal or ordinal (see below).  String fields are
 *     always nominal.
 *
 *   Subfields:
 *
 *     'expansion' is a string that specifies a subfield of some larger field,
 *     e.g. "vlan.tci[0..11]" for a field that represents a VLAN VID.
 *
 *     'field' is NULL.
 *
 *     Only ordinal fields (see below) may have subfields, and subfields are
 *     always ordinal.
 *
 *   Predicates:
 *
 *     A predicate is an arbitrary Boolean expression that can be used in an
 *     expression much like a 1-bit field.  'expansion' specifies the Boolean
 *     expression, e.g. "ip4" might expand to "eth.type == 0x800".  The
 *     expansion of a predicate might refer to other predicates, e.g. "icmp4"
 *     might expand to "ip4 && ip4.proto == 1".
 *
 *     'field' is NULL.
 *
 *     A predicate whose expansion refers to any nominal field or predicate
 *     (see below) is nominal; other predicates have Boolean level of
 *     measurement.
 *
 *
 * Level of Measurement
 * ====================
 *
 * See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_measurement for the statistical
 * concept on which this classification is based.  There are three levels:
 *
 *   Ordinal:
 *
 *     In statistics, ordinal values can be ordered on a scale.  Here, we
 *     consider a field (or subfield) to be ordinal if its bits can be examined
 *     individually.  This is true for the OpenFlow fields that OpenFlow or
 *     Open vSwitch makes "maskable".
 *
 *     OVN supports all the usual arithmetic relations (== != < <= > >=) on
 *     ordinal fields and their subfields, because all of these can be
 *     implemented as collections of bitwise tests.
 *
 *   Nominal:
 *
 *     In statistics, nominal values cannot be usefully compared except for
 *     equality.  This is true of OpenFlow port numbers, Ethernet types, and IP
 *     protocols are examples: all of these are just identifiers assigned
 *     arbitrarily with no deeper meaning.  In OpenFlow and Open vSwitch, bits
 *     in these fields generally aren't individually addressable.
 *
 *     OVN only supports arithmetic tests for equality on nominal fields,
 *     because OpenFlow and Open vSwitch provide no way for a flow to
 *     efficiently implement other comparisons on them.  (A test for inequality
 *     can be sort of built out of two flows with different priorities, but OVN
 *     matching expressions always generate flows with a single priority.)
 *
 *     String fields are always nominal.
 *
 *   Boolean:
 *
 *     A nominal field that has only two values, 0 and 1, is somewhat
 *     exceptional, since it is easy to support both equality and inequality
 *     tests on such a field: either one can be implemented as a test for 0 or
 *     1.
 *
 *     Only predicates (see above) have a Boolean level of measurement.
 *
 *     This isn't a standard level of measurement.
 *
 *
 * Prerequisites
 * =============
 *
 * Any symbol can have prerequisites, which are specified as a string giving an
 * additional expression that must be true whenever the symbol is referenced.
 * For example, the "icmp4.type" symbol might have prerequisite "icmp4", which
 * would cause an expression "icmp4.type == 0" to be interpreted as "icmp4.type
 * == 0 && icmp4", which would in turn expand to "icmp4.type == 0 && eth.type
 * == 0x800 && ip4.proto == 1" (assuming "icmp4" is a predicate defined as
 * suggested under "Types" above).
 *
 *
 * Crossproducting
 * ===============
 *
 * Ordinarily OVN is willing to consider using any field as a dimension in the
 * Open vSwitch "conjunctive match" extension (see ovs-ofctl(8)).  However,
 * some fields can't actually be used that way because they are necessary as
 * prerequisites.  For example, from an expression like "tcp.src == {1,2,3}
 * && tcp.dst == {4,5,6}", OVN might naturally generate flows like this:
 *
 *     conj_id=1,actions=...
 *     ip,actions=conjunction(1,1/3)
 *     ip6,actions=conjunction(1,1/3)
 *     tp_src=1,actions=conjunction(1,2/3)
 *     tp_src=2,actions=conjunction(1,2/3)
 *     tp_src=3,actions=conjunction(1,2/3)
 *     tp_dst=4,actions=conjunction(1,3/3)
 *     tp_dst=5,actions=conjunction(1,3/3)
 *     tp_dst=6,actions=conjunction(1,3/3)
 *
 * but that's not valid because any flow that matches on tp_src or tp_dst must
 * also match on either ip or ip6.  Thus, one would mark eth.type as "must
 * crossproduct", to force generating flows like this:
 *
 *     conj_id=1,actions=...
 *     ip,tp_src=1,actions=conjunction(1,1/2)
 *     ip,tp_src=2,actions=conjunction(1,1/2)
 *     ip,tp_src=3,actions=conjunction(1,1/2)
 *     ip6,tp_src=1,actions=conjunction(1,1/2)
 *     ip6,tp_src=2,actions=conjunction(1,1/2)
 *     ip6,tp_src=3,actions=conjunction(1,1/2)
 *     ip,tp_dst=4,actions=conjunction(1,2/2)
 *     ip,tp_dst=5,actions=conjunction(1,2/2)
 *     ip,tp_dst=6,actions=conjunction(1,2/2)
 *     ip6,tp_dst=4,actions=conjunction(1,2/2)
 *     ip6,tp_dst=5,actions=conjunction(1,2/2)
 *     ip6,tp_dst=6,actions=conjunction(1,2/2)
 *
 * which are acceptable.
