macro_parser.rs

//! This is an NFA-based parser, which calls out to the main Rust parser for named non-terminals
//! (which it commits to fully when it hits one in a grammar). There's a set of current NFA threads
//! and a set of next ones. Instead of NTs, we have a special case for Kleene star. The big-O, in
//! pathological cases, is worse than traditional use of NFA or Earley parsing, but it's an easier
//! fit for Macro-by-Example-style rules.
//!
//! (In order to prevent the pathological case, we'd need to lazily construct the resulting
//! `NamedMatch`es at the very end. It'd be a pain, and require more memory to keep around old
//! matcher positions, but it would also save overhead)
//!
//! We don't say this parser uses the Earley algorithm, because it's unnecessarily inaccurate.
//! The macro parser restricts itself to the features of finite state automata. Earley parsers
//! can be described as an extension of NFAs with completion rules, prediction rules, and recursion.
//!
//! Quick intro to how the parser works:
//!
//! A "matcher position" (a.k.a. "position" or "mp") is a dot in the middle of a matcher, usually
//! written as a `·`. For example `· a $( a )* a b` is one, as is `a $( · a )* a b`.
//!
//! The parser walks through the input a token at a time, maintaining a list
//! of threads consistent with the current position in the input string: `cur_mps`.
//!
//! As it processes them, it fills up `eof_mps` with threads that would be valid if
//! the macro invocation is now over, `bb_mps` with threads that are waiting on
//! a Rust non-terminal like `$e:expr`, and `next_mps` with threads that are waiting
//! on a particular token. Most of the logic concerns moving the · through the
//! repetitions indicated by Kleene stars. The rules for moving the · without
//! consuming any input are called epsilon transitions. It only advances or calls
//! out to the real Rust parser when no `cur_mps` threads remain.
//!
//! Example:
//!
//! ```text, ignore
//! Start parsing a a a a b against [· a $( a )* a b].
//!
//! Remaining input: a a a a b
//! next: [· a $( a )* a b]
//!
//! - - - Advance over an a. - - -
//!
//! Remaining input: a a a b
//! cur: [a · $( a )* a b]
//! Descend/Skip (first position).
//! next: [a $( · a )* a b]  [a $( a )* · a b].
//!
//! - - - Advance over an a. - - -
//!
//! Remaining input: a a b
//! cur: [a $( a · )* a b]  [a $( a )* a · b]
//! Follow epsilon transition: Finish/Repeat (first position)
//! next: [a $( a )* · a b]  [a $( · a )* a b]  [a $( a )* a · b]
//!
//! - - - Advance over an a. - - - (this looks exactly like the last step)
//!
//! Remaining input: a b
//! cur: [a $( a · )* a b]  [a $( a )* a · b]
//! Follow epsilon transition: Finish/Repeat (first position)
//! next: [a $( a )* · a b]  [a $( · a )* a b]  [a $( a )* a · b]
//!
//! - - - Advance over an a. - - - (this looks exactly like the last step)
//!
//! Remaining input: b
//! cur: [a $( a · )* a b]  [a $( a )* a · b]
//! Follow epsilon transition: Finish/Repeat (first position)
//! next: [a $( a )* · a b]  [a $( · a )* a b]  [a $( a )* a · b]
//!
//! - - - Advance over a b. - - -
//!
//! Remaining input: ''
//! eof: [a $( a )* a b ·]
