/** This class is the main interface to the WQL parser used for parsing WQL1
    compliant SQL statements.

    Here's an example which parses a SELECT statement:

    <pre>
    const char TEXT[] = "SELECT X,Y FROM MyClass WHERE X > 10 AND Y < 3";

    // Note that this array must be null-terminated (sizeof(TEXT) includes
    // the null-terminator in the count).

    Buffer text(TEXT, sizeof(TEXT));

    WQLSelectStatement selectStatement;

    WQLParser parser;

    try
    {
        parser.parse(text, selectStatement);
    }
    catch (ParseError&)
    {
        ...
    }
    catch (MissingNullTerminator&)
    {
        ...
    }
    </pre>

    Note that the text must be NULL terminated or else the MissingNullTerminator
    exception is thrown.

    The text is read and the result is left in the selectStatement output
    argument.

    At this point you might wish to peek at the contents of the selectStatement.
    This may be done by calling WQLSelectStatement::print() like this:

    <pre>
    WQLSelectStatement selectStatement;
    ...
    selectStatement.print();
    </pre>

    For the above query text, the following is printed:

    <pre>
    WQLSelectStatement
    {
        _className: "MyClass"

        _propertyNames[0]: "X"
        _propertyNames[1]: "Y"

        _operations[0]: "WQL_GT"
        _operations[1]: "WQL_LT"
        _operations[2]: "WQL_AND"

        _operands[0]: "PROPERTY_NAME: X"
        _operands[1]: "INTEGER_VALUE: 10"
        _operands[2]: "PROPERTY_NAME: Y"
        _operands[3]: "INTEGER_VALUE: 3"
    }
    </pre>

    The WQLSelectStatement::evaluateWhereClause() method may be called to
    determine whether a particular instance (whose properties are made
    available to he evaluateWhereClause() by a user implementation of the
    WQLPropertySource class). This method returns true, if the where clause
    matches this instance. Here is an example:

    <pre>
    WQLSelectStatement selectStatement;
    ...
    WQLPropertySource* propertySource = new MyPropertySource(...);

    if (selectStatement.evaluateWhereClause(propertySource))
    {
        // It's a match!
    }
    </pre>

    The evaluateWhereClause() method calls propertySource->getValue() to
    obtain values for each of the properties referred to in where clause (X
    and Y in the above query example).

    The implementer of the WQLPropertySource interface must provide the
    implementation of getValue() to produce values for the target data
    types. The WQL library makes no assumptions about the nature of the
    target data representation. This was done so that this libary could be
    adapted to multiple data representations.

    For use with Pegasus CIMInstance objects, a CIMInstancePropertySource
    class could be developed whose getValue() method fetches values from
    a CIMInstance. Here is an example of how it might be used.

    <pre>
    CIMInstancePropertySource* propertySource
        = new CIMInstancePropertySource(...);

    CIMInstance instance;

    while (instance = GetNextInstance(...))
    {
        propertySource->setInstance(currentInstance);

        if (selectStatement.evaluateWhereClause(propertySource))
        {
        // It's a match!
        }
    }
    </pre>

    Of course the numeration of instances is left to the user of WQL.
