//! Syntax and semantics of the Candle language.
//!
//! Candle is a shallow embedding of
//! [Lustre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lustre_(programming_language))
//! in Rust.
//!
//! How to use the macros below:
//! A `struct` described using the constructs of Candle simulates a
//! Lustre `node` by
//! - deriving the `Default` trait,
//! - (optional) having a `__clock` field of type `usize`,
//! - (optional) having a `__nodes` field of type a tuple of all the subnodes
//! that the node uses,
//! - (optional) having a `__trace` boolean field that enables
//! priting debug information,
//! - having fields of a type provided by the `ty!(_)` macro that converts
//! standard types into types with a memory of the past,
//! - implementing the trait `stepping::Step`, of signature
//! `(&mut self, ty!(...)) -> ty!(...)` that takes the node inputs,
//! applies one step of computation, and returns the updated values of
//! the node outputs.
//!
//! We provide here a thoroughly commented implementation of a simple integer
//! counter in Candle and Lustre side-by-side to showcase the general structure.
//! See more examples in `tests/impls/*.rs`
//!
//! ### Simple integer counter
//!
//! An integer counter has no inputs, and a single integer output that starts
//! at `0` and increments by one at each time step.
//!
//! A Lustre implementation would look like this:
//! ```ml
//! node counter() returns (n : int);
//! let
//! n = 0 fby n + 1;
//! tel;
//! ```
//! In Candle we would define the same node like this:
//!
//! ```
//! use chandeliers_sem::macros::*;
//! use chandeliers_sem::traits::*;
//!
//! #[allow(non_camel_case_types)]
//! #[derive(Default)]
//! pub struct counter {
//! __clock: usize,
//! __trace: bool,
//! n: ty!(int+),
//! __nodes: (),
//! }
//!
//! impl Step for counter {
//! type Input = ();
//! type Output = i64;
//! fn step(&mut self, __inputs: ty!()) -> ty!(int) {
//! implicit_clock!(__inputs);
//! node_trace!(self, "() => counter(n={})", self.n);
//! let n = later!(self <~ 0; lit!(0), var!(self <~ 1; n) + lit!(1));
//! update!(self, n);
//! tick!(self);
//! node_trace!(self, "counter(n={}) => (n={})", self.n, self.n);
//! n
//! }
//! }
//!
//! fn usage() {
//! let mut c = counter::default();
//! for i in 0..10 {
//! assert_eq!(c.step(().embed()).trusted(), i);
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//! You may notice that there are a lot of low level and error-prone details
//! here: the numbers in each `self <~ n` are carefully chosen, and we must
//! not forget to invoque `tick!(self)` to increment the clock
//! or `update!(self, n)` to make the update persistent.
//!
//! That is
//!
//! In the above code, the irreducible template that will be used for all
//! definitions is:
//! ```ignore
//! #[derive(Default)]
//! pub struct ... {
//! // The names "__clock", "__trace", and "__nodes" are mandatory,
//! // as they are hard-coded in some macros.
//! __clock: usize,
//! __trace: bool,
//! // Here you should put the subnodes that you use, as a tuple.
//! // If the node is primive and has no subnodes, this field is optional.
//! __nodes: (...),
//! ... // add any extra variables that you want to keep in-between
//! // executions of `step`.
//! }
//!
//! impl Step for ... {
//! type Input = ...;
//! type Output = ...;
//! pub fn step(&mut self, inputs: ...) -> ... {
//! node_trace!(self, ...); // Print any relevant information
//! ...
//! // You must always increment the clock once per call to `step`.
//! tick!(self);
//! // And you must *never perform any computation* after incrementing the clock.
//! node_trace!(self, ...); // Print any relevant information
//! ... // (return the computed value(s) here)
//! }
//! }
//! ```
