* Fix bug in parsing of parens in some preferred content expressions. This ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2013-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes the behavior of the manual mode group. The current manual mode preferred content expression is: "present and (((exclude=*/archive/* and exclude=archive/*) or (not (copies=archive:1 or copies=smallarchive:1))) or (not copies=semitrusted+:1))" The old matcher misparsed this, to basically: OR (present and (...)) (not copies=semitrusted+:1)) The paren handling and indeed the whole conversion from tokens to the matcher was just wrong. The new way may not be the cleverest, but I think it is correct, and you can see how it pattern matches structurally against the expressions when parsing them. That expression is now parsed to: MAnd (MOp <function>) (MOr (MOr (MAnd (MOp <function>) (MOp <function>)) (MNot (MOr (MOp <function>) (MOp <function>)))) (MNot (MOp <function>))) Which appears correct, and behaves correct in testing. Also threw in a simplifier, so the final generated Matcher has less unnecessary clutter in it. Mostly so that I could more easily read & confirm them. Also, added a simple test of the Matcher to the test suite. There is a small chance of badly formed preferred content expressions behaving differently than before due to this rewrite.
