The copy of a TupleTree is potentially very expensive, so it was
disabled until now and only allowed via the explict method clone().
We have now decided to make TupleTree copiable.
This commit adds a copy-constructor and a copy-assignment, killing the
clone() method that was already unused and is now effectively useless.
Model classes are now described by a YAML document, which is used to
generate C++ headers containing classes and all the boilerplate
required for YAML serialization/deserialization, usage in
SortedVectors, etc. See the README in include/revng/Model for more
info.
This commit introduces the type system of the model along with several
various other improvements to the model and its users.
* Introduce the type system.
* Introduce possibility to tag certain fields in the model as to be
optional during YAML serialization.
* All the `Name` fields have been replaced in favor of `CustomName` plus
a `name` method that will use `CustomName` if available, or an
automatically generated name otherwise.
* Make TupleTreeReferences behavior more robust: now you either need to
have a valid pointer to `Root` and a `Path` or be default constructed
(`nullptr` for `Root` and an empty `Path`). Any other configuration is
invalid.
* The type system introduces `RawFunctionType`: this superseds the
previous way in which we were specifying arguments and return
values. Users of such information have been updated accordingly.
This commit drops the KeyTraits in favor of a std::any-like solution.
Basically, we type erase any key the user wants to employ, just exposing
a virtual version of the destructor, a comparison operator and a clone
primitive.
This commit:
* Drops `KeyTraits::toString`: if needed, use `getNameFromYAMLScalar`.
* Makes many methods in TupleTree.h return `nullptr` or `std::optional`
in order to gracefully handle failures.
* Provides `KeyTraits` specializations for integral types and tuple-like
composed by types providing `KeyTraits`.
* Introduces `CompositeScalar`, which enables tuple-like objects to be
YAML-serializable scalars by joining the YAML-serialization of its
members through a customziable character.
* Implements `PathMatcher`, a very simple "regular expression" mechanism
for paths on tuple trees.
* Introduce testing for the Model.
