ASN.1: Fix handling of CHOICE in ASN.1 compiler
Fix the handling of CHOICE types in the ASN.1 compiler to make SEQUENCE and SET elements in a CHOICE be correctly rendered as skippable and conditional as appropriate. For example, in the following ASN.1: Foo ::= SEQUENCE { w1 INTEGER, w2 Bar, w3 OBJECT IDENTIFIER } Bar ::= CHOICE { x1 Seq1, x2 [0] IMPLICIT OCTET STRING, x3 Seq2, x4 SET OF INTEGER } Seq1 ::= SEQUENCE { y1 INTEGER, y2 INTEGER, y3 INTEGER } Seq2 ::= SEQUENCE { z1 BOOLEAN, z2 BOOLEAN, z3 BOOLEAN } the output in foo.c generated by: ./scripts/asn1_compiler foo.asn1 foo.c foo.h included: // Bar // Seq1 [ 4] = ASN1_OP_MATCH, [ 5] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SEQ), ... [ 13] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_OR_SKIP, // x2 [ 14] = _tagn(CONT, PRIM, 0), // Seq2 [ 15] = ASN1_OP_MATCH, [ 16] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SEQ), ... [ 24] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // x4 [ 25] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SET), ... [ 27] = ASN1_OP_COND_FAIL, as a result of the CHOICE - but this is wrong on lines 4 and 15 because both of these should be skippable (one and only one of the four can be picked) and the one on line 15 should also be conditional so that it is ignored if anything before it matches. After the patch, it looks like: // Bar // Seq1 [ 4] = ASN1_OP_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // x1 [ 5] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SEQ), ... [ 7] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_OR_SKIP, // x2 [ 8] = _tagn(CONT, PRIM, 0), // Seq2 [ 9] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // x3 [ 10] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SEQ), ... [ 12] = ASN1_OP_COND_MATCH_JUMP_OR_SKIP, // x4 [ 13] = _tag(UNIV, CONS, SET), ... [ 15] = ASN1_OP_COND_FAIL, where all four options are skippable and the second, third and fourth are all conditional, as is the backstop at the end. This hasn't been a problem so far because in the ASN.1 specs we have are either using primitives or are using SET OF and SEQUENCE OF which are handled correctly. Whilst we're at it, also make sure that element labels get included in comments in the output for elements that have complex types.
