// postfix_evaluator.h: Postfix (reverse Polish) notation expression evaluator.
//
// PostfixEvaluator evaluates an expression, using the expression itself
// in postfix (reverse Polish) notation and a dictionary mapping constants
// and variables to their values.  The evaluator supports standard
// arithmetic operations, assignment into variables, and when an optional
// MemoryRange is provided, dereferencing.  (Any unary key-to-value operation
// may be used with a MemoryRange implementation that returns the appropriate
// values, but PostfixEvaluator was written with dereferencing in mind.)
//
// The expression language is simple.  Expressions are supplied as strings,
// with operands and operators delimited by whitespace.  Operands may be
// either literal values suitable for ValueType, or constants or variables,
// which reference the dictionary.  The supported binary operators are +
// (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (quotient of division),
// and % (modulus of division).  The unary ^ (dereference) operator is also
// provided.  These operators allow any operand to be either a literal
// value, constant, or variable.  Assignment (=) of any type of operand into
// a variable is also supported.
//
// The dictionary is provided as a map with string keys.  Keys beginning
// with the '$' character are treated as variables.  All other keys are
// treated as constants.  Any results must be assigned into variables in the
// dictionary.  These variables do not need to exist prior to calling
// Evaluate, unless used in an expression prior to being assigned to.  The
// internal stack state is not made available after evaluation, and any
// values remaining on the stack are treated as evidence of incomplete
// execution and cause the evaluator to indicate failure.
//
// PostfixEvaluator is intended to support evaluation of "program strings"
// obtained from MSVC frame data debugging information in pdb files as
// returned by the DIA APIs.
