/*
*  Name:
*     unit.c

*  Purpose:
*     Implement unit conversion functions.

*  Description:
*     This file implements the Unit module which is used for identifying
*     units and transforming between them. It follows the recommendations
*     for unit handling contained within FITS WCS paper I (Greisen &
*     Calabretta). All methods have protected access.

*  Methods:
*     astUnitMapper: Create a Mapping between two systems of units.
*     astUnitLabel: Returns a label for a given unit symbol.

*  History:
*     10-DEC-2002 (DSB):
*        Original version.
*     10-FEB-2004 (DSB):
*        Added debug conditional code to keep track of memory leaks.
*     15-JUL-2004 (DSB):
*        In astUnitMapper: if no Mapping can be found from input to
*        output units (e.g. because fo the less than perfect simplication
*        algorithm in SimplifyTree), try finding a Mapping from output to
*        input units and inverting the result.
*     14-DEC-2004 (DSB):
*        In CreateTree, move the invocation of FixConstants from after
*        InvertConstants to before InvertConstants. This is because
*        InvertConstants ignores nodes which contain all constant
*        arguments. This results in constants not being inverted in
*        expressions such as "1/60 deg" (because all arguments are
*        constant in the the "1/60" node).
*     18-JAN-2005 (DSB):
*        Fix memory leaks.
*     2-FEB-2005 (DSB):
*        - Avoid using astStore to allocate more storage than is supplied
*        in the "data" pointer. This can cause access violations since
*        astStore will then read beyond the end of the "data" area.
*     15-FEB-2005 (DSB):
*        - Modified CleanExp to fix up some common units mistakes.
*     21-FEB-2005 (DSB):
*        - Modified CleanExp to accept <word><digit> as equivalent to
*        <word>^<digit>.
*        - Modified MakeTree to do case insensitive checking if case
*        sensitive checking failsto produce a match to a multiplier/unit
*        symbol combination. If this still produces no match, do a case
*        insensitive match for multiplier/unit label.
*     1-MAR-2006 (DSB):
*        Replace astSetPermMap within DEBUG blocks by astBeginPM/astEndPM.
*     6-APR-2006 (DSB):
*        Modify CleanExp to convert "MJY/STER" to standard form ("MJy/sr").
*     7-JUL-2006 (DSB):
*        Correct initialisation of "word" flag in CleanExp.
*     17-MAY-2007 (DSB):
*        Simplify the units string returned by astUnitNormaliser.
*        - Fix indexing bug in CombineFactors.
*     26-MAY-2007 (DSB):
*        - Correct error reporting in astUNitNormaliser.
*        - Fix bug in CleanExp that caused (for example) "-2" to be
*        converted to "^-2".
*     2-DEC-2008 (DSB):
*        Correct memory allocation bug in CleanExp.
*     6-MAY-2011 (DSB):
*        Include "adu" as basic unit.
*     9-MAY-2011 (DSB):
*        Change "A" to be Ampere (as defined by FITS-WCS paper 1) rather
*        than "Angstrom".

/*
*  Name:
*     CleanExp

*  Purpose:
*     Produce a clean copy of a units expression.

*  Type:
*     Private function.

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "unit.h"
*     const char *CleanExp( const char *exp )

*  Class Membership:
*     Unit member function.

*  Description:
*     This function returns a pointer to dynamic memory containing a
*     cleaned copy of the supplied units expression. Cleaning consists of
*     the following operations:
*        - removal of leading and trailing white space.
*        - replacement of multiple adjacent spaces by a single space
*        - removal of spaces adjacent to a parenthesis
*        - removal of spaces adjacent to a binary operator
*        - translates various common non-standard units into equivalent
*          standard units.
*
*     Such carefull handling of spaces is necessary since a space is
*     recognised by the MakeTree function as a multiplication operator.

*  Parameters:
*     exp
*        A pointer to the expression to be cleaned.

*  Returned Value:
*     A pointer to the cleaned expression, which should be freed using
*     astFree when no longer needed.

*  Notes:
*     - This function returns NULL if it is invoked with the global error
*     status set, or if it should fail for any reason.

*  Synopsis:

*     int CmpTree( UnitNode *tree1, UnitNode *tree2, int exact, int *status )

*  Class Membership:
*     Unit member function.

*  Description:
*     This function returns a zero value if the two trees are
*     equivalent. This requires the trees to have identical structure
*     except that, if "exact" is zero, arguments for OP_MULT nodes can
*     be swapped.
*
*     If the trees are not equivalent then a value of +1 or -1 is returned
*     depending on whether tree1 should be placed before or after tree2
*     in a sorted list of trees.

*  Parameters:
*     tree1
*        A pointer to the UnitNode at the head of the first tree.
*     tree2
*        A pointer to the UnitNode at the head of the second tree.
*     exact
*        If non-zero, then OP_MULT nodes must have their arguments the
*        same way round in order for the OP_MULT nodes to match. Otherwise,
*        OP_MULT nodes with equivalent arguments match even if the
*        arguments are swapped.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     Zero if the two trees are equal. +1 if tree1 should be placed before
*     tree2 in a sorted list of trees. -1 if tree1 should be placed after
*     tree2 in a sorted list of trees.

* Notes:
*     - Zero is returned if an error has already occurred, or
*     if this function fails for any reason.

*        The address at which to return a pointer to an array with "*nfactor"
*        elements, each element being a double holding the power of the

*     nfactor
*        The address of an int containing the number of elements in the
*        returned "*factors" and "*powers" arrays.
*     coeff
*        The address of a double containing the overall coefficient to be

*  Notes:

/*
*  Name:
*     InvertTree

*  Purpose:
*     Invert a tree of UnitNodes.

*  Type:
*     Private function.

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "unit.h"
*     UnitNode *InvertTree( UnitNode *fwdnode, UnitNode *src )

*  Class Membership:
*     Unit member function.

*  Description:
*     This function inverts a tree of UnitNodes. The supplied tree should
*     have exactly one OP_LDVAR node. This will be the quantity represented
*     by the node at the head of the returned tree.

*  Parameters:
*     fwdnode
*        A pointer to the UnitNode at the head of the tree which is to be
*        inverted.
*     src
*        A pointer to a UnitNode which is to be used as the root of the
*        inverted tree. That is, the output from this node should form
*        the (one and only) varying input to the inverted tree. If the
*        supplied tree is succesfulyl inverted, the tree of which "src"
*        is the head will be contained within the returned inverted tree.
*        Therefore "src" only needs to be freed explicitly if this
*        function fails to invert the supplied tree for any reason. If
*        this function succeeds, then "src" will be freed as part of
*        freeing the returned inverted tree.

*  Returned Value:
*     A pointer to a UnitNode which forms the head of the inverted tree.

*  Algorithm:
*     The algorithm works through the supplied forward tree, from the head
*     to the roots. First, the supplied node at the head of the forward
*     tree is inverted. To be invertable, the supplied head node must have
*     exactly one varying argument (any other arguments must be fixed,
*     i.e. not vary). This varying argument becomes the output of the
*     inverted node. The other (fixed) arguments to the forward node are
*     also used as arguments to the inverted node. The supplied "src" node
*     is used as the single varying input to the inverted node. Having
*     inverted the supplied forward head node, this function is called
*     recursively to invert the lower parts of the forward tree (i.e. the
*     part of the forward tree which provided the varying input to node
*     which has just been inverted).

*  Notes:
*     - It is assumed that he supplied forward tree has been simplified
*     using SimplifyTree. This means that the tree contains no nodes with
*     the following op codes: OP_LOG, OP_SQRT. OP_DIV (SimplifyTree
*     converts these nodes into OP_LN, OP_POW and OP_MULT nodes).
*     - A value of NULL will be returned if this function is invoked with
*     the global error status set, or if it should fail for any reason.

*  Class Membership:

*  Description:
*     This function creates a KnownUnit structure decribing a known unit,
*     and adds it to the head of the linked list of known units stored in
*     a module variable.

*  Parameters:
*     sym
*        A pointer to a string which can be used as a symbol to represent
*        the new named unit. Once defined, this symbol can be included within
*        the definition of other derived units. The string should contain
*        only alphabetical characters (no digits, spaces, punctuation,
*        etc). Symbols are case sensitive (e.g. "s" is second, but "S" is
*        Siemens). The string should not include any multiplier prefix.
*     label
*        Pointer to a null terminated string containing the label for
*        the required units. No restriction on content.
*     exp
*        This should be a pointer to a null terminated string containing
*        a definition of the required unit. See the description of the
*        "in" and "out" parameters for the astUnitMapper function.
*
*        A NULL pointer or a blank string may supplied for "exp", which
*        is interpreted as a request for a new basic unit to be created with
*        the symbol and label given by the other parameters.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Notes:
*     -  The supplied symbol and label strings are not copied. The
*     supplied pointers are simply stored in the returned structure.
*     Therefore the strings to which the pointers point should not be
*     modified after this function returned (in fact this function is
*     always called with literal strings for these arguments).

*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:

*  Class Membership:
*     Unit member function.

*  Description:
*     This function creates a Mapping between two specified system of
*     units. It also modifes a supplied label (which is typically
*     the axis label associated with the input units) so that it includes
*     any functional change implied by the supplied "in" and "out" units.

*  Parameters:
*     in
*        A string representation of the input units, for instance "km/h".
*        See "Unit Representations:" below.
*     out
*        A string representation of the output units, for instance "m/s".
*        See "Unit Representations:" below.
*     in_lab
*        A label describing the quantity associated with the input units.
*        If the "in" string is the Units attribute of an Axis, then
*        "in_lab" should be the Label of the same Axis. May be supplied
*        NULL in which case "out_lab" is ignored.
*     out_lab
*        The address at which to return a pointer to a label describing the
*        quantity associated with the output units. For instance, if the
*        input and output units are "Hz" and "sqrt(Hz)", and the input
*        label is "Frequency", then the returned output label will be
*        "sqrt( Frequency )". The returned label is stored in dynamically
*        allocated memory which should be freed (using astFree) when no longer
*        needed.

*  Returned Value:
*     A pointer to a Mapping which can be used to transform values in the
*     "in" system of units into the "out" system of units. The Mapping
*     will have 1 input and 1 output.

*  Unit Representations:
*     The string supplied for "in" and "out" should represent a system of
*     units following the recommendations of the FITS WCS paper I
*     "Representation of World Coordinates in FITS" (Greisen & Calabretta).
*     Various commonly used variants are also allowed.
*
*     To summarise, a string describing a system of units should be an
*     algebraic expression which combines one or more named units. The
*     following functions and operators may be used within these algebraic
*     expressions:
*
*     - "*": multiplication. A period "." or space " " may also be used
*       to represent multiplication (a period is only interpreted as a
*       multiplication operator if it is not positioned between two digits,
*       and a space is only interpreted as a multiplication operator if it
*       occurs between two operands).
*     - "/": division.
*     - "**": exponentiation. The exponent (i.e. the operand following the
*       exponentiation operator) must be a constant. The symbol "^" is also
*       interpreted as an exponentiation operator. Exponentiation is also
*       implied by an integer following a unit name without any separator
*       (e.g. "cm2" is "cm^2").
*     - log(): Common logarithm.
*     - ln(): Natural logarithm.
*     - sqrt(): Square root.
*     - exp(): Exponential.
*
*     Function names are case insensitive. White space may be included
*     within an expression (note that white space between two operands
*     will be interpreted as a muiltiplication operator as described
*     above). Parentheses may be used to indicate the order in which
*     expressions are to be evaluated (normal mathematical precedence is
*     used otherwise). The following symbols may be used to represent
*     constants:
*
*     - "pi"
*     - "e"
*
*     These symbols are also case in-sensitive.
*
*     The above operators and functions are used to combine together one
*     or more "unit symbols". The following base unit symbols are recognised:
*
*     - "m":  metre.
*     - "g":  gram.
*     - "s":  second.
*     - "rad":  radian.
*     - "sr":  steradian.
*     - "K":  Kelvin.
*     - "mol":  mole.
*     - "cd":  candela.
*
*     The following symbols for units derived fro the above basic units are
*     recognised:
*
*     - "sec":  second (1 s)
*     - "Hz":  Hertz  (1/s).
*     - "N":  Newton  (kg m/s**2).
*     - "J":  Joule  (N m).
*     - "W":  Watt  (J/s).
*     - "C":  Coulomb  (A s).
*     - "V":  Volt  (J/C).
*     - "Pa":  Pascal  (N/m**2).
*     - "Ohm":  Ohm  (V/A).
*     - "S":  Siemens  (A/V).
*     - "F":  Farad  (C/V).
*     - "Wb":  Weber  (V s).
*     - "T":  Tesla  (Wb/m**2).
*     - "H":  Henry  (Wb/A).
*     - "lm":  lumen  (cd sr).
*     - "lx":  lux  (lm/m**2).
*     - "deg":  degree  (pi/180 rad).
*     - "arcmin":  arc-minute  (1/60 deg).
*     - "arcsec":  arc-second  (1/3600 deg).
*     - "mas":  milli-arcsecond  (1/3600000 deg).
*     - "min":  minute  (60 s).

*  Purpose:
*     A case blind version of strncmp.

*  Type:
*     Private function.

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "unit.h"
*     int Ustrncmp( const char *a, const char *b, size_t n, int *status )

*  Class Membership:
*     Unit member function.

*  Description:
*     Returns 0 if there are no differences between the first "n"
*     characters of the two strings, and 1 otherwise. Comparisons are
*     case blind.

*  Parameters:
*     a
*        Pointer to first string.
*     b
*        Pointer to second string.
*     n
*        The maximum number of characters to compare.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     Zero if the strings match, otherwise one.

*  Notes:
*     -  This function does not consider the sign of the difference between
*     the two strings, whereas "strncmp" does.
*     -  This function attempts to execute even if an error has occurred.
