[PATCH 0/3 v3] Create secil2tree to write CIL AST

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For debugging purposes it would be useful to be able to write out
the CIL AST at various points in the build process.

This patch set creates secil2tree which can write the CIL parse tree,
the CIL AST after the build phase, or the CIL AST after the resolve
phase (with names fully-qualified).

Within CIL the function cil_print_tree() has existed from early in
CIL's development, but it was not exported in libsepol and there was no
way to use it except by adding a call to it where you wanted to print
out the CIL AST and then recompiling everything. It also used cil_log()
as its output, so other messages could be mixed in with the output. This
patch set moves all of this code to its own file, updates it, renames it
as cil_write_ast(), and adds libsepol functions that can be used to call
it after each one of the phases mentioned above.

Both the parse and build CIL AST are valid CIL policies that can be
compiled with secilc, but the resolve CIL AST is not always a valid CIL
policy. The biggest problem is that fully-qualified names can contain
dots and CIL does not allow dots in declaration names. There are other
problems as well. It would be nice to get to the point where the output
for all of the trees are valid CIL, but that is a goal for the future.

v3:
- -use "-ast-phase=<phase>" in the usage message and man pages instead
of "-ast-phase <phase>"

v2:
- Remove whitespace errors in cil_write_ast.h
- Use "const char*" instead of just "char*" when dealing with string
literals to satisfy clang.
