; Simple Parsing of input | |
; | |
; The following simple functions surprisingly often suffice to parse | |
; an input stream. They either skip, or build and return tokens, | |
; according to inclusion or delimiting semantics. The list of | |
; characters to expect, include, or to break at may vary from one | |
; invocation of a function to another. This allows the functions to | |
; easily parse even context-sensitive languages. | |
; | |
; EOF is generally frowned on, and thrown up upon if encountered. | |
; Exceptions are mentioned specifically. The list of expected characters | |
; (characters to skip until, or break-characters) may include an EOF | |
; "character", which is to be coded as symbol *eof* | |
; | |
; The input stream to parse is specified as a PORT, which is usually | |
; the last (and optional) argument. It defaults to the current input | |
; port if omitted. | |
; | |
; IMPORT | |
; This package relies on a function parser-error, which must be defined | |
; by a user of the package. The function has the following signature: | |
; parser-error PORT MESSAGE SPECIALISING-MSG* | |
; Many procedures of this package call parser-error to report a parsing | |
; error. The first argument is a port, which typically points to the | |
; offending character or its neighborhood. Most of the Scheme systems | |
; let the user query a PORT for the current position. MESSAGE is the | |
; description of the error. Other arguments supply more details about | |
; the problem. | |
; myenv.scm, myenv-bigloo.scm or a similar prelude is assumed. | |
; From SRFI-13, string-concatenate-reverse | |
; If a particular implementation lacks SRFI-13 support, please | |
; include the file srfi-13-local.scm | |

; up to (but not including) a break character, one of the | |
; BREAK-CHAR-LIST. | |

; including a specified COMMENT-STRING (if any) | |
; | |
; The optional argument PORT defaults to the current input port. | |
; | |
; Note: since we can't tell offhand how large the token being read is | |
; going to be, we make a guess, pre-allocate a string, and grow it by | |
; quanta if necessary. The quantum is always the length of the string | |
; before it was extended the last time. Thus the algorithm does | |
; a Fibonacci-type extension, which has been proven optimal. | |
; Note, explicit port specification in read-char, peek-char helps. | |
; Procedure: input-parse:init-buffer | |
; returns an initial buffer for next-token* procedures. | |
; The input-parse:init-buffer may allocate a new buffer per each invocation: | |
; (define (input-parse:init-buffer) (make-string 32)) | |
; Size 32 turns out to be fairly good, on average. | |
; That policy is good only when a Scheme system is multi-threaded with | |
; preemptive scheduling, or when a Scheme system supports shared substrings. | |
; In all the other cases, it's better for input-parse:init-buffer to | |
; return the same static buffer. next-token* functions return a copy | |
; (a substring) of accumulated data, so the same buffer can be reused. | |
; We shouldn't worry about an incoming token being too large: | |
; next-token will use another chunk automatically. Still, | |
; the best size for the static buffer is to allow most of the tokens to fit in. | |
; Using a static buffer _dramatically_ reduces the amount of produced garbage | |
; (e.g., during XML parsing). | |

; A better version of next-token, which accumulates the characters | |

; The overhead of copying characters is only 100% (or even smaller: bulk | |
; string copying might be well-optimised), compared to the (hypothetical) | |
; circumstance if we had known the size of the token beforehand. | |
; For small tokens, the code performs just as above. For large | |
; tokens, we expect an improvement. Note, the code also has no | |
; assignments. | |
