![]() Expression simplification can get into an infinite loop due to eps
pairs hiding behind and alternation that can't be caught by
normalize_eps() (which exists in the first place to stop a similar
loop).
The loop in question happens in AltNode::normalize when a subtree has
the following structure.
1. elseif (child[dir]->is_type(ALT_NODE)) rotate_node too
alt
/\
/ \
/ \
eps alt
/\
/ \
/ \
alt eps
/\
/ \
/ \
eps eps
2. if (normalize_eps(dir)) results in
alt
/\
/ \
/ \
alt eps
/\
/ \
/ \
alt eps
/\
/ \
/ \
eps eps
3. elseif (child[dir]->is_type(ALT_NODE)) rotate_node too
alt
/\
/ \
/ \
alt alt
/\ /\
/ \ / \
/ \ / \
eps eps eps eps
4. elseif (child[dir]->is_type(ALT_NODE)) rotate_node too
alt
/\
/ \
/ \
eps alt
/\
/ \
/ \
eps alt
/\
/ \
/ \
eps eps
5. if (normalize_eps(dir)) results in
alt
/\
/ \
/ \
alt eps
/\
/ \
/ \
eps alt
/\
/ \
/ \
eps eps
6. elseif (child[dir]->is_type(ALT_NODE)) rotate_node too
alt
/\
/ \
/ \
eps alt
/\
/ \
/ \
alt eps
/\
/ \
/ \
eps eps
back to beginning of cycle
Fix this by detecting the creation of an eps_pair in rotate_node(),
that pair can be immediately eliminated by simplifying the tree in that
step.
In the above cycle the pair creation is caught at step 3 resulting
in
3. elseif (child[dir]->is_type(ALT_NODE)) rotate_node too
alt
/\
/ \
/ \
alt eps
/\
/ \
/ \
eps eps
4. elseif (child[dir]->is_type(ALT_NODE)) rotate_node too
alt
/\
/ \
/ \
eps alt
/\
/ \
/ \
eps eps
which gets reduced to
alt
/\
/ \
/ \
eps eps
breaking the normalization loop. The degenerate alt node will be caught
in turn when its parent is dealt with.
This needs to be backported to all releases
