Internal parser. This class can translate a single rule into an abstract
tree of tuples. It implements the following grammar::
condition = and_condition ('or' and_condition)*
('@integer' samples)?
('@decimal' samples)?
and_condition = relation ('and' relation)*
relation = is_relation | in_relation | within_relation
is_relation = expr 'is' ('not')? value
in_relation = expr (('not')? 'in' | '=' | '!=') range_list
within_relation = expr ('not')? 'within' range_list
expr = operand (('mod' | '%') value)?
operand = 'n' | 'i' | 'f' | 't' | 'v' | 'w'
range_list = (range | value) (',' range_list)*
value = digit+
digit = 0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9
range = value'..'value
samples = sampleRange (',' sampleRange)* (',' ('…'|'...'))?
sampleRange = decimalValue '~' decimalValue
decimalValue = value ('.' value)?
- Whitespace can occur between or around any of the above tokens.
- Rules should be mutually exclusive; for a given numeric value, only one
rule should apply (i.e. the condition should only be true for one of
the plural rule elements).
- The in and within relations can take comma-separated lists, such as:
'n in 3,5,7..15'.
- Samples are ignored.
The translator parses the expression on instantiation into an attribute
called `ast`.
