"""
Spack allows very fine-grained control over how packages are installed and
over how they are built and configured.  To make this easy, it has its own
syntax for declaring a dependence.  We call a descriptor of a particular
package configuration a "spec".

The syntax looks like this:

.. code-block:: sh

    $ spack install mpileaks ^openmpi @1.2:1.4 +debug %intel @12.1 =bgqos_0
                    0        1        2        3      4      5     6

The first part of this is the command, 'spack install'.  The rest of the
line is a spec for a particular installation of the mpileaks package.

0. The package to install

1. A dependency of the package, prefixed by ^

2. A version descriptor for the package.  This can either be a specific
   version, like "1.2", or it can be a range of versions, e.g. "1.2:1.4".
   If multiple specific versions or multiple ranges are acceptable, they
   can be separated by commas, e.g. if a package will only build with
   versions 1.0, 1.2-1.4, and 1.6-1.8 of mavpich, you could say:

       depends_on("mvapich@1.0,1.2:1.4,1.6:1.8")

3. A compile-time variant of the package.  If you need openmpi to be
   built in debug mode for your package to work, you can require it by
   adding +debug to the openmpi spec when you depend on it.  If you do
   NOT want the debug option to be enabled, then replace this with -debug.

4. The name of the compiler to build with.

5. The versions of the compiler to build with.  Note that the identifier
   for a compiler version is the same '@' that is used for a package version.
   A version list denoted by '@' is associated with the compiler only if
   if it comes immediately after the compiler name.  Otherwise it will be
   associated with the current package spec.

6. The architecture to build with.  This is needed on machines where
   cross-compilation is required

Here is the EBNF grammar for a spec::

  spec-list    = { spec [ dep-list ] }
  dep_list     = { ^ spec }
  spec         = id [ options ]
  options      = { @version-list | +variant | -variant | ~variant |
                   %compiler | arch=architecture | [ flag ]=value}
  flag         = { cflags | cxxflags | fcflags | fflags | cppflags |
                   ldflags | ldlibs }
  variant      = id
  architecture = id
  compiler     = id [ version-list ]
  version-list = version [ { , version } ]
  version      = id | id: | :id | id:id
  id           = [A-Za-z0-9_][A-Za-z0-9_.-]*

Identifiers using the <name>=<value> command, such as architectures and
compiler flags, require a space before the name.

There is one context-sensitive part: ids in versions may contain '.', while
other ids may not.

There is one ambiguity: since '-' is allowed in an id, you need to put
whitespace space before -variant for it to be tokenized properly.  You can
either use whitespace, or you can just use ~variant since it means the same
thing.  Spack uses ~variant in directory names and in the canonical form of
specs to avoid ambiguity.  Both are provided because ~ can cause shell
expansion when it is the first character in an id typed on the command line.

               Order to traverse spec nodes. Defaults to preorder traversal.
               Options are:

               'pre':  Pre-order traversal; each node is yielded before its
                       children in the dependency DAG.
               'post': Post-order  traversal; each node is yielded after its
                       children in the dependency DAG.

           cover    [=nodes|edges|paths]
               Determines how extensively to cover the dag.  Possible values:

               'nodes': Visit each node in the dag only once.  Every node
                        yielded by this function will be unique.
               'edges': If a node has been visited once but is reached along a
                        new path from the root, yield it but do not descend
                        into it.  This traverses each 'edge' in the DAG once.
               'paths': Explore every unique path reachable from the root.
                        This descends into visited subtrees and will yield
                        nodes twice if they're reachable by multiple paths.

           depth    [=False]
               Defaults to False.  When True, yields not just nodes in the
               spec, but also their depth from the root in a (depth, node)
               tuple.

           key   [=id]
               Allow a custom key function to track the identity of nodes
               in the traversal.

           root     [=True]
               If False, this won't yield the root node, just its descendents.

           direction [=children|parents]
               If 'children', does a traversal of this spec's children.  If
               'parents', traverses upwards in the DAG towards the root.
