;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This file handles the creation of lexical analyzers for different
;; languages in Emacs Lisp.  The purpose of a lexical analyzer is to
;; convert a buffer into a list of lexical tokens.  Each token
;; contains the token class (such as 'number, 'symbol, 'IF, etc) and
;; the location in the buffer it was found.  Optionally, a token also
;; contains a string representing what is at the designated buffer
;; location.
;;
;; Tokens are pushed onto a token stream, which is basically a list of
;; all the lexical tokens from the analyzed region.  The token stream
;; is then handed to the grammar which parsers the file.
;;
;;; How it works
;;
;; Each analyzer specifies a condition and forms.  These conditions
;; and forms are assembled into a function by `define-lex' that does
;; the lexical analysis.
;;
;; In the lexical analyzer created with `define-lex', each condition
;; is tested for a given point.  When the conditin is true, the forms
;; run.
;;
;; The forms can push a lexical token onto the token stream.  The
;; analyzer forms also must move the current analyzer point.  If the
;; analyzer point is moved without pushing a token, then tne matched
;; syntax is effectively ignored, or skipped.
;;
;; Thus, starting at the beginning of a region to be analyzed, each
;; condition is tested.  One will match, and a lexical token might be
;; pushed, and the point is moved to the end of the lexical token
;; identified.  At the new position, the process occurs again until
;; the end of the specified region is reached.
;;
;;; How to use semantic-lex
;;
;; To create a lexer for a language, use the `define-lex' macro.
;;
;; The `define-lex' macro accepts a list of lexical analyzers.  Each
;; analyzer is created with `define-lex-analyzer', or one of the
;; derivitive macros.  A single analyzer defines a regular expression
;; to match text in a buffer, and a short segment of code to create
;; one lexical token.
;;
;; Each analyzer has a NAME, DOC, a CONDITION, and possibly some
;; FORMS.  The NAME is the name used in `define-lex'.  The DOC
;; describes what the analyzer should do.
;;
;; The CONDITION evaluates the text at the current point in the
;; current buffer.  If CONDITION is true, then the FORMS will be
;; executed.
;;
;; The purpose of the FORMS is to push new lexical tokens onto the
;; list of tokens for the current buffer, and to move point after the
;; matched text.
;;
;; Some macros for creating one analyzer are:
;;
;;   define-lex-analyzer - A generic analyzer associating any style of
;;              condition to forms.
;;   define-lex-regex-analyzer - Matches a regular expression.
;;   define-lex-simple-regex-analyzer - Matches a regular expressions,
;;              and pushes the match.
;;   define-lex-block-analyzer - Matches list syntax, and defines
;;              handles open/close delimiters.
;;
;; These macros are used by the grammar compiler when lexical
;; information is specified in a grammar:
;;   define-lex- * -type-analyzer - Matches syntax specified in
;;              a grammar, and pushes one token for it.  The * would
;;              be `sexp' for things like lists or strings, and
;;              `string' for things that need to match some special
;;              string, such as "\\." where a literal match is needed.
;;
;;; Lexical Tables
;;
;; There are tables of different symbols managed in semantic-lex.el.
;; They are:
;;
;;   Lexical keyword table - A Table of symbols declared in a grammar
;;           file with the %keyword declaration.
;;           Keywords are used by `semantic-lex-symbol-or-keyword'
;;           to create lexical tokens based on the keyword.
;;
;;   Lexical type table - A table of symbols declared in a grammer
;;           file with the %type declaration.
;;           The grammar compiler uses the type table to create new
;;           lexical analyzers.  These analyzers are then used to when
;;           a new lexical analyzer is made for a language.
;;
;;; Lexical Types
;;
;; A lexical type defines a kind of lexical analyzer that will be
;; automatically generated from a grammar file based on some
;; predetermined attributes. For now these two attributes are
;; recognized :
;;
;; * matchdatatype : define the kind of lexical analyzer. That is :
;;
;;   - regexp : define a regexp analyzer (see
;;     `define-lex-regex-type-analyzer')
;;
;;   - string : define a string analyzer (see
;;     `define-lex-string-type-analyzer')
;;
;;   - block : define a block type analyzer (see
;;     `define-lex-block-type-analyzer')
;;
;;   - sexp : define a sexp analyzer (see
;;     `define-lex-sexp-type-analyzer')
;;
;;   - keyword : define a keyword analyzer (see
;;     `define-lex-keyword-type-analyzer')
;;
;; * syntax : define the syntax that matches a syntactic
;;   expression. When syntax is matched the corresponding type
;;   analyzer is entered and the resulting match data will be
;;   interpreted based on the kind of analyzer (see matchdatatype
;;   above).
;;
;; The following lexical types are predefined :
;;
;; +-------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
;; | type        | matchdatatype | syntax                         |
;; +-------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
;; | punctuation | string        | "\\(\\s.\\|\\s$\\|\\s'\\)+"    |
;; | keyword     | keyword       | "\\(\\sw\\|\\s_\\)+"           |
;; | symbol      | regexp        | "\\(\\sw\\|\\s_\\)+"           |
;; | string      | sexp          | "\\s\""                        |
;; | number      | regexp        | semantic-lex-number-expression |
;; | block       | block         | "\\s(\\|\\s)"                  |
;; +-------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
;;
;; In a grammar you must use a %type expression to automatically generate
;; the corresponding analyzers of that type.
;;
;; Here is an example to auto-generate punctuation analyzers
;; with 'matchdatatype and 'syntax predefined (see table above)
;;
;; %type <punctuation> ;; will auto-generate this kind of analyzers
;;
;; It is equivalent to write :
;;
;; %type  <punctuation> syntax "\\(\\s.\\|\\s$\\|\\s'\\)+" matchdatatype string
;;
;; ;; Some punctuations based on the type defines above
;;
;; %token <punctuation> NOT         "!"
;; %token <punctuation> NOTEQ       "!="
;; %token <punctuation> MOD         "%"
;; %token <punctuation> MODEQ       "%="
;;

;;; On the Semantic 1.x lexer
;;
;; In semantic 1.x, the lexical analyzer was an all purpose routine.
;; To boost efficiency, the analyzer is now a series of routines that
;; are constructed at build time into a single routine.  This will
;; eliminate unneeded if statements to speed the lexer.

  "An alist of of semantic token types.
As of December 2001 (semantic 1.4beta13), this variable is not used in
any code.  The only use is to refer to the doc-string from elsewhere.

The key to this alist is the symbol representing token type that
\\[semantic-flex] returns.  These are

  - bol:           Empty string matching a beginning of line.
                   This token is produced with
                   `semantic-lex-beginning-of-line'.

  - charquote:     String sequences that match `\\s\\+' regexp.
                   This token is produced with `semantic-lex-charquote'.

  - close-paren:   Characters that match `\\s)' regexp.
                   These are typically `)', `}', `]', etc.
                   This token is produced with
                   `semantic-lex-close-paren'.

  - comment:       A comment chunk.  These token types are not
                   produced by default.
                   This token is produced with `semantic-lex-comments'.
                   Comments are ignored with `semantic-lex-ignore-comments'.
                   Comments are treated as whitespace with
                   `semantic-lex-comments-as-whitespace'.

  - newline        Characters matching `\\s-*\\(\n\\|\\s>\\)' regexp.
                   This token is produced with `semantic-lex-newline'.

  - open-paren:    Characters that match `\\s(' regexp.
                   These are typically `(', `{', `[', etc.
                   If `semantic-lex-paren-or-list' is used,
                   then `open-paren' is not usually generated unless
                   the `depth' argument to \\[semantic-lex] is
                   greater than 0.
                   This token is always produced if the analyzer
                   `semantic-lex-open-paren' is used.

  - punctuation:   Characters matching `{\\(\\s.\\|\\s$\\|\\s'\\)'
                   regexp.
                   This token is produced with `semantic-lex-punctuation'.
                   Always specify this analyzer after the comment
                   analyzer.

  - semantic-list: String delimited by matching parenthesis, braces,
                   etc.  that the lexer skipped over, because the
                   `depth' parameter to \\[semantic-flex] was not high
                   enough.
                   This token is produced with `semantic-lex-paren-or-list'.

  - string:        Quoted strings, i.e., string sequences that start
                   and end with characters matching `\\s\"'
                   regexp.  The lexer relies on @code{forward-sexp} to
                   find the matching end.
                   This token is produced with `semantic-lex-string'.

  `semantic-lex-maximum-depth' - The maximum depth of semantic-list
                  for the current analysis.
  `semantic-lex-current-depth' - The current depth of `semantic-list' that has
                  been decended.
  `semantic-lex-end-point' - End Point after match.
                   Analyzers should set this to a buffer location if their
                   match string does not represent the end of the matched text.
  `semantic-lex-token-stream' - The token list being collected.
                   Add new lexical tokens to this list.
Proper action in FORMS is to move the value of `semantic-lex-end-point' to
after the location of the analyzed entry, and to add any discovered tokens
at the beginning of `semantic-lex-token-stream'.
This can be done by using `semantic-lex-push-token'."

  "Define a block type analyzer NAME with DOC string.

SYNTAX is the regexp that matches block delimiters,  typically the
open (`\\\\s(') and close (`\\\\s)') parenthesis syntax classes.

MATCHES is a pair (OPEN-SPECS . CLOSE-SPECS) that defines blocks.

  OPEN-SPECS is a list of (OPEN-DELIM OPEN-TOKEN BLOCK-TOKEN) elements
  where:

    OPEN-DELIM is a string: the block open delimiter character.

    OPEN-TOKEN is the lexical token class associated to the OPEN-DELIM
    delimiter.

    BLOCK-TOKEN is the lexical token class associated to the block
    that starts at the OPEN-DELIM delimiter.

  CLOSE-SPECS is a list of (CLOSE-DELIM CLOSE-TOKEN) elements where:

    CLOSE-DELIM is a string: the block end delimiter character.

    CLOSE-TOKEN is the lexical token class associated to the
    CLOSE-DELIM delimiter.

Each element in OPEN-SPECS must have a corresponding element in
CLOSE-SPECS.

The lexer will return a BLOCK-TOKEN token when the value of
`semantic-lex-current-depth' is greater than or equal to the maximum
depth of parenthesis tracking (see also the function `semantic-lex').
Otherwise it will return OPEN-TOKEN and CLOSE-TOKEN tokens.

TO DO: Put the following in the developer's guide and just put a
reference here.

In the grammar:

The value of a block token must be a string that contains a readable
sexp of the form:

  \"(OPEN-TOKEN CLOSE-TOKEN)\"

OPEN-TOKEN and CLOSE-TOKEN represent the block delimiters, and must be
lexical tokens of respectively `open-paren' and `close-paren' types.
Their value is the corresponding delimiter character as a string.

Here is a small example to analyze a parenthesis block:

  %token <block>       PAREN_BLOCK \"(LPAREN RPAREN)\"
  %token <open-paren>  LPAREN      \"(\"
  %token <close-paren> RPAREN      \")\"

When the lexer encounters the open-paren delimiter \"(\":

 - If the maximum depth of parenthesis tracking is not reached (that
   is, current depth < max depth), it returns a (LPAREN start .  end)
   token, then continue analysis inside the block.  Later, when the
   corresponding close-paren delimiter \")\" will be encountered, it
   will return a (RPAREN start . end) token.

 - If the maximum depth of parenthesis tracking is reached (current
   depth >= max depth), it returns the whole parenthesis block as
   a (PAREN_BLOCK start . end) token."
