lex.rs

1//! The blue lexer.
2//!
3//! Blue's surface is Ruby/Elixir-shaped, so the lexer's job is different
4//! from an s-expression reader's: it must distinguish `foo` the send from
5//! `foo(x)` the call, keep `:sym` distinct from `a ? b : c`, and record
6//! enough position to point a diagnostic at the byte the human typed.
7//!
8//! Two decisions here are load-bearing downstream and are made once:
9//!
10//! 1. **Every token carries a byte span.** `theory/BLUE.md` §0 requires
11//!    total provenance — every node in an expanded program traceable to the
12//!    source that caused it — and provenance cannot be recovered later if
13//!    the lexer drops it.
14//! 2. **Trivia is a token, not a skip.** Comments and newlines are emitted
15//!    rather than discarded, because a canonical formatter and an LSP both
16//!    need a lossless stream. The measured failure this avoids is
17//!    tatara-lisp's own reader, which discards trivia at tokenize time and
18//!    thereby makes a comment-preserving formatter unbuildable on top of it.
19//!    Callers that do not want trivia filter it; callers that need it
20//!    cannot conjure it back.

24/// A half-open byte range into the source.
25///
26/// **tatara-lisp's `Span`, not a blue one.** blue used to declare its own
27/// `{ start, end }` pair here, which was a strict subset of the substrate's:
28/// tatara's carries the same two fields plus `synthetic()` / `is_synthetic()`,
29/// `merge`, `line_col` and a `Display`. Two structurally-identical span types
30/// in one pipeline is the duplication that forces a conversion at every
31/// boundary — and the boundary that mattered is the one where a *checker*
32/// diagnostic reaches the LSP, because a conversion that has to invent a value
33/// for "no span" is how a type error ends up reported at line 0.
34///
35/// Sharing the type also means the parser can emit `tatara_lisp::Spanned`
36/// directly: the tree blue parses into is the tree the evaluator eats, spans
37/// and all.
