When analyzing a WHERE clause, we want to separate individual
factors (usually relations), and later partition them into
partition key, clustering key, and regular column relations. The
first step is separation, for which this helper is added.
Currently, it is not required since the grammar supplies the
expression in separated form, but this will not work once it is
relaxed to allow any expression in the WHERE clause.
A unit test is added.
An expr::constant is an expression that happens to represent a constant,
so it's too heavyweight to be used for evaluation. Right now the extra
weight is just a type (which causes extra work by having to maintain
the shared_ptr reference count), but it will grow in the future to include
source location (for error reporting) and maybe other things.
Prior to e9b6171b5 ("Merge 'cql3: expr: unify left-hand-side and
right-hand-side of binary_operator prepares' from Avi Kivity"), we had
to use expr::constant since there was not enough type infomation in
expressions. But now every expression carries its type (in programming
language terms, expressions are now statically typed), so carrying types
in values is not needed.
So change evaluate() to return cql3::raw_value. The majority of the
patch just changes that. The rest deals with some fallout:
- cql3::raw_value gains a view() helper to convert to a raw_value_view,
and is_null_or_unset() to match with expr::constant and reduce further
churn.
- some helpers that worked on expr::constant and now receive a
raw_value now need the type passed via an additional argument. The
type is computed from the expression by the caller.
- many type checks during expression evaluation were dropped. This is
a consequence of static typing - we must trust the expression prepare
phase to perform full type checking since values no longer carry type
information.
Closes#10797
shape_type was used in prepare_expression to differentiate
between a few cases and create the correct receivers.
This was used by the relation class.
Now creating the correct receiver has been delegated to the caller
of prepare_expression and all bind_variables can be handled
in the same simple way.
shape_type is not needed anymore.
Not having it is better because it simplifies things.

Now that parser outputs expressions
it's much easier to check whether
expression printer works correctly.
We can prepare a bunch of strings
which will be parsed and then printed
back to string.
Then we can compare those strings.
It's much easier than creating
expresions to print manually.
The only downside is that this tests
only unprepared version of expression,
so instead of column_value there will
be unresolved identifier, insted of constant
untyped_constant etc.

expression::printer is used to print CQL expressions
in a pretty way that allows them to be parsed back
to the same representation.
There is a bunch of things that need to be changed when
compared to the current implementation of opreatorr<<(expression)
to output something parsable.
column names should be printed without 'unresolved_identifier()'
and sometimes they need to be quoted to perserve case sensitivity.
I needed to write new code for printing constant values
because the current one did debug printing
(e.g. a set was printed as '1; 2; 3').
A list of IN values should be printed inside () intead of [],
but because it is internally represented as a list it is
by default printed with [].
To fix this a temporary tuple_constructor is created and printed.

Adds a test with a vistior that can only be used as a rvalue.
Without std::forward in expr::visit this test doesn't compile.

Add tests for new expr::visit to ensure that it is working correctly.
expr::visit had a hidden bug where trying to return a reference
actually returned a reference to freed location on the stack,
so now there are tests to ensure that everything works.
Sadly the test `expr_visit_const_ref` also passes
before the fix, but at lest expr_visit_ref doesn't compile before the fix.
It would be better to test this by taking references returned
by std::visit and expr::visit and checking that they point
to the same address in memory, but I can't do this
because I would have to access private field of expression.
