 *  Fill the candidate datatype list for all symbols that may legally 'have' a data type (e.g. variables, literals, function calls, expressions, etc.)
 * 
 *  The candidate datatype list will be filled with a list of all the data types that expression may legally take.
 *  For example, the very simple literal '0' (as in foo := 0), may represent a:
 *    BOOL, BYTE, WORD, DWORD, LWORD, USINT, SINT, UINT, INT, UDINT, DINT, ULINT, LINT (as well as the SAFE versions of these data tyes too!)
 *
 * WARNING: This visitor class starts off by building a map of all enumeration constants that are defined in the source code (i.e. a library_c symbol),
 *          and this map is later used to determine the datatpe of each use of an enumeration constant. By implication, the fill_candidate_datatypes_c 
 *          visitor class will only work corretly if it is asked to visit a symbol of class library_c!!

/* Add to the local_enumerated_value_symtable the local enum value constants */
/* Notes:
 * Some enumerations are 
 *   (A) declared anonymously inside a VAR ... END_VAR declaration
 *       (e.g. VAR enum_var : (enumvalue1, enumvalue2); END_VAR)
 *  while others are 
 *   (B) declared (with a name) inside a TYPE .. END_TYPE declaration.
 *
 *  Values in (A) are added to the enumerated_value_symtable in absyntaxt_utils.cc.
 *  Values in (B) are only in scope inside the POU with the VAR END_VAR declaration.
 *
 * This class will add the enum values in (B) to the local_enumerated_value_symtable.
 *
 * If a locally defined enum value is identical to another locally defined enum_value, a 
 *  duplicate entry is created.
 *  However, if a locally defined enum value is identical to another globally defined enum_value, the
 *  corresponding entry in local_enumerated_value_symtable is also set to the local datatype.
 *  This is because anonynous locally feined enum datatypes are anonymous, and its enum values cannot therefore
 *  be disambiguated using EnumType#enum_value (since the enum type does not have a name, it is anonymous!).
 *  For this reason we implement the semantics where locally defined enum values, when in scope, will 'cover'
 *  the globally defined enum value with the same name/identifier.
 *  For example:
 *
 *  TYPE  GlobalEnumT: (xxx1, xxx2, xxx3) END_TYPE
 * 
 *   FUNCTION_BLOCK FOO
 *    VAR_INPUT
 *       GlobalEnumVar: GlobalEnumT;
 *      LocalEnumVar : (xxx1, yyy2, yyy3);
 *     END_VAR
 *     LocalEnumVar  := xxx1;   <-- We consider it OK!!!     xxx1 will reference the anonymous type used for LocalEnumVar
 *     GlobalEnumVar := xxx1;   <-- We consider it an error. xxx1 will reference the anonymous type used for LocalEnumVar
 *     GlobalEnumVar := GlobalEnumT#xxx1;
 *     END_FUNCTION_BLOCK

   *       This is intentional, and not a bug! Explanation follows...
   *       Here we are essentially determining the base type of each defined data type. In many cases (especially structs,

   *       multiple symbol_c classes (e.g. an enumeration uses enumerated_type_declaration_c, enumerated_spec_init_c,
   *       enumerated_value_list_c, enumerated_value_c, ...). Several of these could be chosen to work as the canonical base datatype
   *       symbol. Which symbol is used is really up to the search_base_type_c, and not this fill_candidate_datatypes_c.
   *       Here we must right the code to handle whatever the search_base_type_c chooses to use as the canonical symbol to represent
   *       the base datatype.
   *       Since the base datatype may be (and sometimes/often/always(?) actually is) the top level symbol_c (an enumerated_type_declaration_c
   *       in the case of the enumerations), it only makes sense to ask search_base_type_c for a basetype when we pass it the 
   *       symbol in the highest level of the type declaration (the enumerated_type_declaration_c in the case of the enumerations).
   *       For this reason, we determine the basetype at the top level, and send that info down to the bottom level of the data type 
   *       declaration. In summary, a top->down algorithm!

 /* This is a special situation. 
  *
  * The reason is that a located variable may be declared to be of any data type, as long as the size
  * matches the location (lines 1 3 and 4 of table 17). For example:
  *   var1 AT %MB42.0 : BYTE;
  *   var1 AT %MB42.1 : SINT;
  *   var1 AT %MB42.2 : USINT;
  *   var1 AT %MW64   : INT;
  *   var1 AT %MD56   : DINT;
  *   var1 AT %MD57   : REAL;
  *  are all valid!!
  *
  *  However, when used inside an expression, the direct variable (uses the same syntax as the location
  *  of a located variable) is limited to the following (ANY_BIT) data types:
  *    %MX --> BOOL
  *    %MB --> BYTE
  *    %MW --> WORD
  *    %MD --> DWORD
  *    %ML --> LWORD
  *
  *  So, in order to be able to analyse expressions with direct variables
  *   e.g:  var1 := 66 OR %MW34
  *  where the direct variable may only take the ANY_BIT data types, the fill_candidate_datatypes_c
  *  considers that only the ANY_BIT data types are allowed for a direct variable.
  *  However, it appears from the examples in the standard (lines 1 3 and 4 of table 17)
  *  a location may have any data type (presumably as long as the size in bits match).
  *  For this reason, a location_c may have more allowable data types than a direct_variable_c

   *       'negation' operation are similar/identical to the semantics of the 
   *       SUB expression/operation. This would include assuming that the
   *       possible datatypes for the 'negation' operation is also
   *       the same as those for the SUB expression/operation, namely ANY_MAGNITUDE.
   *
   *       However, this would then mean that the following ST code would be 
   *       syntactically and semantically correct:
   *       VAR uint_var : UINT END_VAR;
   *       uint_var := - (uint_var);
   *
   *       Assuming uint_var is not 0, the standard states that the above code should result in a 
   *       runtime error since the operation will result in an overflow. Since the above operation
   *       is only valid when uint_var=0, it would probably make more sense for the programmer to
   *       use if (uint_var=0) ..., so we will simply assume that the above statement simply
   *       does not make sense in any situation (whether or not uint_var is 0), and therefore
   *       we will not allow it.
   *       (Notice that doing so does not ago against the standard, as the standard does not
   *       explicitly define the semantics of the NEG operator, nor the data types it may accept
   *       as input. We are simply assuming that the NEG operator may not be applied to unsigned
   *       ANY_NUM data types!).
   *
   *       It is much easier for the compiler to detect this at compile time,
   *       and it is probably safer to the resulting code too.
   *
   *       To detect these tyes of errors at compile time, the easisest solution
   *       is to only allow ANY_NUM datatytpes that are signed.
   *        So, that is what we do here!
   *
   * NOTE: The above argument also applies to the neg_integer_c method!
