/**
 * Public API vs internals 
 * -----------------------
 * 
 * General users probably only care about
 *
 * Context handling
 * - get_context_instance()
 * - get_context_instance_by_id()
 * - get_parent_contexts()
 * - get_child_contexts()
 * 
 * Whether the user can do something...
 * - has_capability()
 * - require_capability()
 * - require_login() (from moodlelib)
 *
 * What courses has this user access to?
 * - get_user_courses_bycap()
 *
 * What users can do X in this context?
 * - get_users_by_capability()
 *
 * Enrol/unenrol
 * - enrol_into_course()
 * - role_assign()/role_unassign()
 * 
 *
 * Advanced use
 * - load_all_capabilities()
 * - reload_all_capabilities()
 * - $ACCESS global
 * - has_capability_in_accessdata()
 * - is_siteadmin()
 * - get_user_access_sitewide()
 * - load_subcontext()
 * - get_role_access_bycontext()
 *
 * Name conventions
 * ----------------
 * 
 * - "ctx" means context
 *
 * accessdata
 * ----------
 *
 * Access control data is held in the "accessdata" array
 * which - for the logged-in user, will be in $USER->access
 * 
 * For other users can be generated and passed around (but see
 * the $ACCESS global).
 *
 * $accessdata is a multidimensional array, holding
 * role assignments (RAs), role-capabilities-perm sets 
 * (role defs) and a list of courses we have loaded
 * data for.
 *
 * Things are keyed on "contextpaths" (the path field of 
 * the context table) for fast walking up/down the tree.
 * 
 * $accessdata[ra][$contextpath]= array($roleid)
 *                [$contextpath]= array($roleid)
 *                [$contextpath]= array($roleid) 
 *
 * Role definitions are stored like this
 * (no cap merge is done - so it's compact)
 *
 * $accessdata[rdef][$contextpath:$roleid][mod/forum:viewpost] = 1
 *                                        [mod/forum:editallpost] = -1
 *                                        [mod/forum:startdiscussion] = -1000
 *
 * See how has_capability_in_accessdata() walks up/down the tree.
 *
 * Normally - specially for the logged-in user, we only load
 * rdef and ra down to the course level, but not below. This
 * keeps accessdata small and compact. Below-the-course ra/rdef
 * are loaded as needed. We keep track of which courses we
 * have loaded ra/rdef in 
 *
 * $accessdata[loaded] = array($contextpath, $contextpath) 
 *
 * Stale accessdata
 * ----------------
 *
 * For the logged-in user, accessdata is long-lived.
 *
 * On each pageload we load $DIRTYPATHS which lists
 * context paths affected by changes. Any check at-or-below
 * a dirty context will trigger a transparent reload of accessdata.
 * 
 * Changes at the sytem level will force the reload for everyone.
 *
 * Default role caps
 * -----------------
 * The default role assignment is not in the DB, so we 
 * add it manually to accessdata. 
 *
 * This means that functions that work directly off the
 * DB need to ensure that the default role caps
 * are dealt with appropriately. 
 *

/**
 * Walk the accessdata array and return true/false.
 * Deals with prohibits, roleswitching, aggregating
 * capabilities, etc.
 *
 * The main feature of here is being FAST and with no
 * side effects. 
 *
 * Notes:
 *
 * Switch Roles exits early
 * -----------------------
 * cap checks within a switchrole need to exit early
 * in our bottom up processing so they don't "see" that
 * there are real RAs that can do all sorts of things.
 *
 * Switch Role merges with default role
 * ------------------------------------
 * If you are a teacher in course X, you have at least
 * teacher-in-X + defaultloggedinuser-sitewide. So in the
 * course you'll have techer+defaultloggedinuser.
 * We try to mimic that in switchrole.
 *
 * Local-most role definition and role-assignment wins
 * ---------------------------------------------------
 * So if the local context has said 'allow', it wins
 * over a high-level context that says 'deny'.
 * This is applied when walking rdefs, and RAs.
 * Only at the same context the values are SUM()med.
 *
 * The exception is CAP_PROHIBIT.
 *
 * "Guest default role" exception
 * ------------------------------
 *
 * See MDL-7513 and $ignoreguest below for details.
 *
 * The rule is that
 *
 *    IF we are being asked about moodle/legacy:guest
 *                             OR moodle/course:view
 *    FOR a real, logged-in user
 *    AND we reached the top of the path in ra and rdef
 *    AND that role has moodle/legacy:guest === 1...
 *    THEN we act as if we hadn't seen it.
 *
 *
 * To Do:
 *
 * - Document how it works
 * - Rewrite in ASM :-)
