lib.rs

//! Translation phases 1 to 3, pp-tokens, the fast scanner, the keyword table and the constants.
//!
//! Design: `spec/05-preprocessor.md` sections 5.1 and 5.2, and `spec/06-lexer-and-parser.md`
//! section 6.1 for what happens to these tokens next. Layer rank 4, see
//! `spec/18-package-layout.md`.
//!
//! This is the hottest loop in the compiler at `-O0`, and it is also the place where being
//! clever costs correctness, so the two shapes it takes are worth stating plainly.
//!
//! Phases 1 and 2 are resolved lazily by the cursor, never by rewriting the buffer. A span is
//! always a range of real bytes in the file the user wrote, even when the token's spelling is
//! not those bytes read in order, and a token that crossed a splice or a trigraph says so
//! through [`TokenFlags::SPLICED`].
//!
//! Phase 3 is a loop over a 256-entry dispatch table, and identifiers are interned during the
//! scan rather than in a second pass, so nothing after this crate ever compares identifier
//! text. Whitespace and comment bodies, which are most of the bytes and none of the meaning,
//! are skipped a word at a time rather than a byte at a time.
//!
//! [`Keywords`] is the first half of phase 7 and the reason the interner is here rather than
//! in the parser. The keyword spellings are interned before any source is read, so they are
//! one run of symbols at the bottom of the table and recognising one is a subtraction and a
//! bounds check. Which of them the dialect actually has is resolved once, when the table is
//! built, rather than at every identifier.
//!
//! [`integer`] and [`floating`] are the next piece of it. A preprocessing number is deliberately
//! looser than a constant, so nothing before this point has asked what `0x1p+3` or `1.2.3`
//! means. The type an integer constant ends up with is a table walk whose candidate list depends
//! on the base, the suffix and the dialect, and the value is accumulated in a hundred and twenty
//! eight bits with every step checked, so a constant too large for any type is a diagnostic
//! rather than a number nobody wrote. A floating constant takes its type from its suffix, of
//! which there are many more than the standard's three, and its value from the correctly rounded
//! software conversion in `rucc-base`, so that the bits do not depend on the machine the
//! compiler is running on.
//!
//! [`character`] and [`string`] finish the spellings. What an element of a literal is depends on
//! the encoding prefix and, for a wide one, on the target, so a wide string is UTF-16 on Windows
//! and UTF-32 everywhere else and is not even the same length in both. The escapes divide into
//! the ones that name a character, which get encoded, and the ones that write a value, which do
//! not and are truncated to the element instead.
//!
//! [`convert`] is the end of it. It walks a stream of pp-tokens and produces [`Token`]s: an
//! identifier becomes a keyword when the dialect has that spelling, a number becomes a typed
//! value, a run of adjacent string literals becomes the one literal it is, and a stray byte
//! becomes the error it always was. A `Token` is sixteen bytes like a pp-token, so the values do
//! not live in it; they live in vectors beside it and the token holds an index.
//!
//! ```
//! use rucc_base::Interner;
//! use rucc_lex::{Options, PpTokenKind, tokenize};
//!
//! let mut interner = Interner::new();
//! let (tokens, diagnostics) = tokenize(b"int x = 1;", 0, Options::new(), &mut interner);
//! assert!(diagnostics.is_empty());
//! assert_eq!(tokens[0].kind, PpTokenKind::Ident);
//! assert_eq!(interner.resolve(tokens[0].value.unwrap()), "int");
//! ```
//!
//! # Status
//!
//! Phases 1 to 3 are real, along with the pp-token model, the dispatch table, interning during
//! the scan, and the word at a time skips for whitespace and comment bodies. The bytes arrive
//! as a memory mapping when the file is large enough for that to be worth it, which the driver
//! decides and nothing here can tell. Phases 4 to 6, which is directives and macro expansion,
//! belong to `rucc-pp`.
//!
//! Phase 7 is here too, all of it: the keywords and the dialect gate, the numeric constants, the
//! literals with their escapes and encoding prefixes, the concatenation of adjacent literals, and
//! [`convert`], which turns a stream of pp-tokens into the [`Token`]s the parser reads and is
//! where a remark from a conversion becomes a diagnostic. Decimal floating constants are
//! recognised and refused, because nothing in the compiler has a decimal floating value to put one
//! in, and `\N{NAME}` is refused because GCC 13.3 only has it in C++. A universal character name
//! above the end of Unicode is an error here and a warning in GCC, which is the one place this
//! crate follows clang instead.
//!
//! Every crate in the workspace is published, and publishing implies a promise. This one is
//! tier 3: its Rust API is explicitly unstable and will change without a major version bump.
//! Depend on the `rucc` binary's behaviour, not on this.
