// Description:
// This class provides a mechanism to use a BNF tree to parse an input stream.
// The notation of the EBNF is based upon that described in the XML1.0 specification.
// The BNF tree form used is a variation on Extended BNF and has the following rule types,
// where the input stream must:
// , Exact - match exactly with the provided string.
// , Range - next character must be in the specified range.
// , Select - next character must exist in the selected string.
// If the select string starts with ^ it is a NOT Select.
// , And - match all of the given sub rules
// , Or - match one of the given sub rules
// , NMore - match N or more times the the SINGLE subrule.
// , Optional - match 0/1 times to the SINGLE subrule.
// , Without - match the first subrule but NOT the second.
// , Reference - match the referred to rule.
// The iterative parser not only validates an input stream against the 
// BNF grammer but allows pre/post actions to be performed during the parsing.
// Partial parsing is also allowed in that the input stream does not have to
// completed before parsing can begin. As soon as data is added the parser
// attempts to parse it.
// Numerous methods are provided to assist in the building of the BNF Tree this parser uses.
// To use this class:
// Create a derivation and implement the virtual method TreeL() to creat a BNF rule tree
// (the assistance methods NewBNF/NewRule etc should be used) - see DTDModel 
// To use your new parser invoke Reset and pass input data using the ProcessData method.

class CBNFParser : public CBase, public MDataProviderObserver
/** Base class for parsers that use a BNF tree to parse an input stream.

The BNF tree form used is a variation on Extended BNF described in the XML1.0 
specification. The general form of the tree is as follows:

Each node in the tree defines a rule that the input stream must meet to satisfy the grammar.

1. a node type is set to the rule type, as defined in TParserNodeTypes

2. node data stores any string required by the rule: e.g. for a comparison rule, the string 
	to match against

3. the parser allows callback functions to be called either before or after the rule is processed.
	 If these are present, they are stored as attributes of the node.

4. some rules allow sub-rules: for example, the AND rule expects a number of sub-rules, all 
	of which must be successful if the AND rule itself is to succeed. Each sub-rule is 
	represented as a child node of the parent rule. Sub-rules in turn can have sub-rules.

5. reference rule nodes are also allowed: these do not define themselves rules, but direct the 
	parser to another rule. They can link rules to each other and so build rule sequences more 
	complex than a simple tree.

All the top-level rules are stored as attributes of the root node. The attribute type is a string
 that names the rule; the attribute value is a pointer to the node that implements the rule.

The class supplies functions that encapsulate adding rules appropriately to the tree. The parser 
provider creates a derived class that implements the virtual method TreeL() that uses these 
functions to create a BNF rule tree.

The user of the parser initialises the parser with ResetL(), and then passes input data to the 
parser using ProcessData(). The parser supports partial parsing: the input stream does not have 
to completed before parsing can begin. As soon as data is added, the parser attempts to parse it.
