New data types net_addr and variants (in lib/net.h) describing
network addresses (prefix/pxlen). Modifications of FIB structures
to handle these data types and changing everything to use these
data types instead of prefix/pxlen pairs where possible.
The commit is WiP, some protocols are not yet updated (BGP, Kernel),
and the code contains some temporary scaffolding.
Comments are welcome.
Permit specifying neighbor address, AS number and port independently.
Add 'interface' parameter for specifying interface for link-local
sessions independently.
Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for the original patch.
Router ID could be automatically determined based of subset of
ifaces/addresses specified by 'router id from' option. The patch also
does some minor changes related to router ID reconfiguration.
Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for most of the work.
Several new configure command variants:
configure undo - undo last reconfiguration
configure timeout - configure with scheduled undo if not confirmed in timeout
configure confirm - confirm last configuration
configure check - just parse and validate config file
- ROA tables, which are used as a basic part for RPKI.
- Commands for examining and modifying ROA tables.
- Filter operators based on ROA tables consistent with RFC 6483.
- Fixes several conflicts in the grammar.
- Fixes a bug in (a..b, c) pair patterns.
- Makes pair patterns orthogonal.
- Allows term expressions in pair patterns without additional ( ).
- Allows several comma separated values in switch cases.
The old BIRD grammar needs two lookaheads to distinguish if..else from
else: in case, which caused the parser to fail on some combinations of
both expressions.
This patch replaces two tokens 'else' ':' by one token 'else:' to fix
that.
- Adds check to deny config file with no specified protocol to prevent
loading of empty config file.
- Moves CLI init before config parse to receive immediate error message
when cannot open control socket.
- Fixes socket name path check and other error handling in CLI init.
Previous version of Makefile executed Bison two times (in parallel),
because of two specified targets. I am not sure wheter this is the best
fix.

Prefix sets were broken beyond any repair and have to be reimplemented.
They are reimplemented using a trie with bitmasks in nodes.
There is also change in the interpretation of minus prefix pattern,
but the old interpretation was already inconsistent with
the documentation and broken.
There is also some bugfixes in filter code related to set variables.
Filter code used 'aux' integer field of 'symbol' struct to store ptr
to next symbol and both 'aux2' and 'def' fields for value.
Changed to just 'def' for value and 'aux2' for ptr to next symbol.
Also another minor bugfix.
Here is a patch fixing a bug that causes breakage of a local routing
table during shutdown of Bird. The problem was caused by shutdown
of 'device' protocol before shutdown of 'kernel' protocol. When
'device' protocol went down, the route (with local network prefix)
From different protocol (BGP or OSPF) became preferred and installed
to the kernel routing table. Such routes were broken (like
192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.1.2). I think it is also the cause
of problem reported by Martin Kraus.
The patch disables updating of kernel routing table during shutdown of
Bird. I am not sure whether this is the best way to fix it, I would
prefer to forbid 'kernel' protocol to overwrite routes with
'proto kernel'.
The patch also fixes a problem that during shutdown sometimes routes
created by Bird remained in the kernel routing table.
Pavel's fault that he's never tested shadowing of declarations in the filters.
cf_define_symbol() has been modified to check the scope of the symbol it's
given and it if it's an already defined symbol, but in a different scope,
a copy is created in the current scope and redefined to the new meaning,
the consequence being that it cf_define_symbol() now returns the new symbol
you need to use when assigning aux and aux2.
o Use `expr' instead of `NUM' and `ipa' instead of `IPA',
so that defined symbols work everywhere.
o `define' now accepts both numbers and IP addresses.
o Renamed `ipa' in filters to `fipa'.
Pavel, please update filters to accept define'd symbols as well.
used for automatic generation of instance names.
protocol->name is the official name
protocol->template is the name template (usually "name%d"),
should be all lowercase.
Updated all protocols to define the templates, checked that their configuration
grammar includes proto_name which generates the name and interns it in the
symbol table.
