 * \brief Selection compilation and optimization.
 *
 * \todo
 * Better error handling and memory management in error situations.
 * At least, the main compilation function leaves the selection collection in
 * a bad state if an error occurs.
 *
 * \todo
 * The memory usage could still be optimized.
 * Use of memory pooling could still be extended, and a lot of redundant
 * gmin/gmax data could be eliminated for complex arithmetic expressions.

/*! \internal
 * \page page_module_selection_compiler Selection compilation
 *
 * The compiler takes the selection element tree from the selection parser
 * (see \ref page_module_selection_parser) as input.
 * The selection parser is quite independent of selection evaluation details,
 * and the compiler processes the tree to conform to what the evaluation
 * functions expect.
 * For better control and optimization possibilities, the compilation is
 * done on all selections simultaneously.
 * Hence, all the selections should be parsed before the compiler can be
 * called.
 *
 * The compiler initializes all fields in gmx::SelectionTreeElement not
 * initialized by the parser: gmx::SelectionTreeElement::v (some fields have
 * already been initialized by the parser),
 * gmx::SelectionTreeElement::evaluate, and gmx::SelectionTreeElement::u
 * (again, some elements have been initialized in the parser).
 * The gmx::SelectionTreeElement::cdata field is used during the compilation to store
 * internal data, but the data is freed when the compiler returns.
 *
 * In addition to initializing the elements, the compiler reorganizes the tree
 * to simplify and optimize evaluation. The compiler also evaluates the static
 * parts of the selection: in the end of the compilation, static parts have
 * been replaced by the result of the evaluation.
 *
 * The compiler is invoked using gmx::SelectionCompiler.
 * The gmx::SelectionCompiler::compile() method does the compilation in several
 * passes over the gmx::SelectionTreeElement tree.
 *  -# Defaults are set for the position type and flags of position calculation
 *     methods that were not explicitly specified in the user input.
 *  -# Subexpressions are extracted: a separate root is created for each
 *     subexpression, and placed before the expression is first used.
 *     Currently, only variables and expressions used to evaluate parameter
 *     values are extracted, but common subexpression could also be detected
 *     here.
 *  -# A second pass (in fact, multiple passes because of interdependencies)
 *     with simple reordering and initialization is done:
 *    -# Boolean expressions are combined such that one element can evaluate,
 *       e.g., "A and B and C". The subexpressions in boolean expression are
 *       reordered such that static expressions come first without otherwise
 *       altering the relative order of the expressions.
 *    -# The compiler data structure is allocated for each element, and
 *       the fields are initialized, with the exception of the contents of
 *       \c gmax and \c gmin fields.  This is the part that needs multiple
 *       passes, because some flags are set recursively based on which elements
 *       refer to an element, and these flags need to be set to initialize
 *       other fields.
 *    -# The gmx::SelectionTreeElement::evaluate field is set to the correct
 *       evaluation function from evaluate.h.
 *    .
 *  -# The evaluation function of all elements is replaced with the
 *     analyze_static() function to be able to initialize the element before
 *     the actual evaluation function is called.
 *     The evaluation machinery is then called to initialize the whole tree,
 *     while simultaneously evaluating the static expressions.
 *     During the evaluation, track is kept of the smallest and largest
 *     possible selections, and these are stored in the internal compiler
 *     data structure for each element.
 *     To be able to do this for all possible values of dynamical expressions,
 *     special care needs to be taken with boolean expressions because they
 *     are short-circuiting. This is done through the
 *     \c SEL_CDATA_EVALMAX flag, which makes dynamic child expressions
 *     of \c BOOL_OR expressions evaluate to empty groups, while subexpressions
 *     of \c BOOL_AND are evaluated to largest possible groups.
 *     Memory is also allocated to store the results of the evaluation.
 *     For each element, analyze_static() calls the actual evaluation function
 *     after the element has been properly initialized.
 *  -# Another evaluation pass is done over subexpressions with more than
 *     one reference to them. These cannot be completely processed during the
 *     first pass, because it is not known whether later references require
 *     additional evaluation of static expressions.
 *  -# Unused subexpressions are removed. For efficiency reasons (and to avoid
 *     some checks), this is actually done several times already earlier in
 *     the compilation process.
 *  -# Most of the processing is now done, and the next pass simply sets the
 *     evaluation group of root elements to the largest selection as determined
 *     in pass 4.  For root elements of subexpressions that should not be
 *     evaluated before they are referred to, the evaluation group/function is
 *     cleared.  At the same time, position calculation data is initialized for
 *     for selection method elements that require it.  Compiler data is also
 *     freed as it is no longer needed.
 *  -# A final pass initializes the total masses and charges in the
 *     \c gmx_ana_selection_t data structures.
 *
 * The actual evaluation of the selection is described in the documentation
 * of the functions in evaluate.h.
 *
 * \todo
 * Some combinations of method parameter flags are not yet properly treated by
 * the compiler or the evaluation functions in evaluate.cpp. All the ones used by
 * currently implemented methods should work, but new combinations might not.
 *
 *
 * \section selcompiler_tree Element tree after compilation
 *
 * After the compilation, the selection element tree is suitable for
 * gmx_ana_selcollection_evaluate().
 * Enough memory has been allocated for gmx::SelectionTreeElement::v
 * (and gmx::SelectionTreeElement::cgrp for \ref SEL_SUBEXPR elements) to allow
 * the selection to be evaluated without allocating any memory.
 *
 *
 * \subsection selcompiler_tree_root Root elements
 *
 * The top level of the tree consists of a chain of \ref SEL_ROOT elements.
 * These are used for two purposes:
 *  -# A selection that should be evaluated.
 *     These elements appear in the same order as the selections in the input.
 *     For these elements, gmx::SelectionTreeElement::v has been set to the
 *     maximum possible group that the selection can evaluate to (only for
 *     dynamic selections), and gmx::SelectionTreeElement::cgrp has been set to
 *     use a NULL group for evaluation.
 *  -# A subexpression that appears in one or more selections.
 *     Each selection that gives a value for a method parameter is a
 *     potential subexpression, as is any variable value.
 *     Only subexpressions that require evaluation for each frame are left
 *     after the selection is compiled.
 *     Each subexpression appears in the chain before any references to it.
 *     For these elements, gmx::SelectionTreeElement::cgrp has been set to the
 *     group that should be used to evaluate the subexpression.
 *     If gmx::SelectionTreeElement::cgrp is empty, the total evaluation group
 *     is not known in advance or it is more efficient to evaluate the
 *     subexpression only when it is referenced.  If this is the case,
 *     gmx::SelectionTreeElement::evaluate is also NULL.
 *
 * The children of the \ref SEL_ROOT elements can be used to distinguish
 * the two types of root elements from each other; the rules are the same
 * as for the parsed tree (see \ref selparser_tree_root).
 * Subexpressions are treated as if they had been provided through variables.
 *
 * Selection names are stored as after parsing (see \ref selparser_tree_root).
 *
 *
 * \subsection selcompiler_tree_const Constant elements
 *
 * All (sub)selections that do not require particle positions have been
 * replaced with \ref SEL_CONST elements.
 * Constant elements from the parser are also retained if present in
 * dynamic parts of the selections.
 * Several constant elements with a NULL gmx::SelectionTreeElement::evaluate
 * are left for debugging purposes; of these, only the ones for \ref BOOL_OR
 * expressions are used during evaluation.
 *
 * The value is stored in gmx::SelectionTreeElement::v, and for group values
 * with an evaluation function set, also in gmx::SelectionTreeElement::cgrp.
 * For \ref GROUP_VALUE elements, unnecessary atoms (i.e., atoms that
 * could never be selected) have been removed from the value.
 *
 * \ref SEL_CONST elements have no children.
 *
 *
 * \subsection selcompiler_tree_method Method evaluation elements
 *
 * All selection methods that need to be evaluated dynamically are described
 * by a \ref SEL_EXPRESSION element. The gmx::SelectionTreeElement::method and
 * gmx::SelectionTreeElement::mdata fields have already been initialized by the parser,
 * and the compiler only calls the initialization functions in the method
 * data structure to do some additional initialization of these fields at
 * appropriate points. If the gmx::SelectionTreeElement::pc data field has been
 * created by the parser, the compiler initializes the data structure properly
 * once the required positions are known. If the gmx::SelectionTreeElement::pc
 * field is NULL after the parser, but the method provides only
 * sel_updatefunc_pos(), an appropriate position calculation data structure is
 * created.  If gmx::SelectionTreeElement::pc is not NULL,
 * gmx::SelectionTreeElement::pos is also initialized to hold the positions
 * calculated.
 *
 * Children of these elements are of type \ref SEL_SUBEXPRREF, and describe
 * parameter values that need to be evaluated for each frame. See the next
 * section for more details.
 * \ref SEL_CONST children can also appear, and stand for parameters that get
 * their value from a static expression. These elements are present only for
 * debugging purposes: they always have a NULL evaluation function.
 *
 *
 * \subsection selcompiler_tree_subexpr Subexpression elements
 *
 * As described in \ref selcompiler_tree_root, subexpressions are created
 * for each variable and each expression that gives a value to a selection
 * method parameter. As the only child of the \ref SEL_ROOT element,
 * these elements have a \ref SEL_SUBEXPR element. The \ref SEL_SUBEXPR
 * element has a single child, which evaluates the actual expression.
 * After compilation, only subexpressions that require particle positions
 * for evaluation are left.
 * For non-variable subexpression, automatic names have been generated to
 * help in debugging.
 *
 * For \ref SEL_SUBEXPR elements, memory has been allocated for
 * gmx::SelectionTreeElement::cgrp to store the group for which the expression
 * has been evaluated during the current frame.  This is only done if full
 * subexpression evaluation by _gmx_sel_evaluate_subexpr() is needed; the other
 * evaluation functions do not require this memory.
 *
 * \ref SEL_SUBEXPRREF elements are used to describe references to
 * subexpressions. They have always a single child, which is the
 * \ref SEL_SUBEXPR element being referenced.
 *
 * If a subexpression is used only once, the evaluation has been optimized by
 * setting the child of the \ref SEL_SUBEXPR element to evaluate the value of
 * \ref SEL_SUBEXPRREF directly (in the case of memory pooling, this is managed
 * by the evaluation functions).  In such cases, the evaluation routines for the
 * \ref SEL_SUBEXPRREF and \ref SEL_SUBEXPR elements only propagate some status
 * information, but do not unnecessarily copy the values.
 *
 *
 * \subsection selcompiler_tree_bool Boolean elements
 *
 * \ref SEL_BOOLEAN elements have been merged such that one element
 * may carry out evaluation of more than one operation of the same type.
 * The static parts of the expressions have been evaluated, and are placed
 * in the first child. These are followed by the dynamic expressions, in the
 * order provided by the user.
 *
 *
 * \subsection selcompiler_tree_arith Arithmetic elements
 *
 * Constant and static expressions in \ref SEL_ARITHMETIC elements have been
 * calculated.
 * Currently, no other processing is done.
