The current histogram expression evaluation logic evaluates the expression from right to left. This can lead to incorrect results if the operations are not associative (as is the case for subtraction and, the now added, division operators). e.g. 16-8-4-2 should be 2 not 10 --> 16-8-4-2 = ((16-8)-4)-2 64/8/4/2 should be 1 not 16 --> 64/8/4/2 = ((64/8)/4)/2
Division and multiplication are currently limited to single operation expression due to operator precedence support not yet implemented.
Rework the expression parsing to support the correct evaluation of expressions containing operators of different precedences; and fix the associativity error by evaluating expressions with operators of the same precedence from left to right.
Examples: (1) echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:a=8,b=4,c=2,d=1,w=$a-$b-$c-$d' \ >> event/trigger (2) echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=$a/$b/3/2' >> event/trigger (3) echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:y=$a+10/$c*1024' >> event/trigger (4) echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:z=$a/$b+$c*$d' >> event/trigger
