emit.rs

//! The matcher as Rust, for the compiler to link against.
//!
//! `spec/10-backend.md` section 10.2 asks for a generated automaton rather than a chain of
//! conditionals, and this is the half of that which leaves this crate. A build script reads a
//! rule file, builds the trie next door, and writes what this module produces into the build
//! directory of the crate that matches with it. Nothing here is a copy of anything: the rule
//! file is the only place the rules are written, and the table is regenerated whenever it
//! changes.
//!
//! # What comes out
//!
//! One Rust source file, holding the trie as an array of nodes, the rules as an array of
//! replacements, and one function per guard. It is data and not code, except for the guards,
//! which are the one part of a rule that has to be evaluated rather than looked up. The walk
//! over the table lives in the crate that includes the file, because the subject of a match
//! there is the compiler's own IR rather than a term, and because a walk written once is a
//! walk written once however many targets there are.
//!
//! The types the file names are the ones that crate defines, and it refers to them through
//! `super`, which is what makes the file includable and nothing else. That is the whole of the
//! contract between the two, and it is small on purpose.
//!
//! # Guards
//!
//! A guard is a condition on the constants a pattern matched, so it becomes a function of the
//! values the bindings hold. A binding that is not a constant at all makes the guard false
//! rather than an error, because a rule guarded by a claim about a number is a rule that does
//! not fire when the operand is not one.
//!
//! The language a guard may be written in is small and this module is where it ends. A head it
//! does not know is refused with the line it is on, rather than emitted and discovered as a
//! compile error in generated code, which is the sort of message nobody can act on.
