2020-06-23vlib: debug CLI macro expander, part deuxDave Barach1-1/+2
Deal with circular macro definitions instead of crashing due to stack overflow. Separate macro tables, per CLI session Add documentation to the Sphinx docs Type: improvement Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net> Change-Id: I55fc9152bd37ad0c15fa3959f38b07b63100e634
2020-06-19vlib: add recursive macro expander to debug cliDave Barach1-15/+18
All of the pieces have been sitting around for years. Added several debug CLI commands: "define <variable-name> <value>" "undefine <variable-name>" "show macro [noeval]" "echo <whatever>" Macros may refer to other macros. To defer evaluation: "define foo \$(bar)" or some such. The macro evaluator is not smart about "define foo \$(foo)" or more complicated circular definitions, so don't do that. Environment variables are available, simply use $<name-of-environment-vbl> The macro expander has a table of (overrideable) builtin names, which are evaluated by calling functions. Simple example: echo $USER define ip1 192.168.1.1/24 define ip2 192.168.2.1/24 loop create loop create set int ip address loop0 $ip1 set int ip address loop1 $ip2 show int addr show macro undefine ip1 undefine ip2 Type: feature Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net> Change-Id: I08a800647bac573d8ae3cfd75c40061d41c5f976
