28 July 2022

New Features

• The Variable preference implementation has been updated and documented
  • If more than one variable have the same preference, an "Ambiguos command" error is returned
  • Such tiebreaks can be resolved by a new "preference" keyword, eg: <string preference:20>
  • There is also an extended API: cligen_preference_mode_set()
  • This change may affect existing code in the following ways:
    • A string variable with "expand()" function has higher preference than without expand function
    • Ambiguous command error is returned in more cases
  • More info: Section 3.14 of the CLIgen tutorial

Corrected Bugs

• Expansion does not work properly for inner hierarchical nodes on pressing TAB

• Fixed: cligen_output wrap problem: word dropped if exactly on line width
• Fixes to make <rest> variables with delimiters work better
  • This includes expansion, re-adding, etc that had several flaws
• Fixed: CLI combination of cligen choice and expand dbvar gives ambiguous command
• Fixed: Bug that happens when having the same container name in .cli file and yang file
• Fixed again: CLIgen output scrolling did not work if lines were wrapped
  • Did not work if cligen_output was called without \n
• Fixed: Compiling with -DNDEBUG results in failure of test applications.
