vla-lang 0.9.1

//! A shape evaluated at many of its cells at once (KERNEL.20, slice 3,
//! 2026-10-10): the vectorized evaluation of a shared formula, the first of
//! the structural advantages `KERNEL.20` names.
//!
//! An engine's machine evaluates a shape at each of its cells
//! ([`super::shape`]), and a cell's evaluation walks the parse: each node
//! matched, each call's function looked up by name, each operand made and
//! dropped, once a cell. Here the walk is once a run. A run is cells of one
//! shape on one sheet, consecutive in the order of evaluation, none reading
//! another, so that any of them may be computed before any other
//! (`Shapes::plan` finds them, in an order that puts a shape's cells of one
//! level together); each node is evaluated at every cell of the run before
//! its parent is, into a lane, one answer a cell.
//!
//! The meaning is the cell by cell evaluation's, and every rule of it is
//! written once. A value is made by [`binary`], over two numbers by its own
//! [`arithmetic`] and [`compares`], or by the library: a strict function
//! called at each cell with the operands it would be called with there, or,
//! for the language's aggregates and `NOT`, the library's own rule and fold
//! (`library::Fold`) driven here over the run's operands, a range of a sheet
//! kept as an array walked by index (KERNEL.26). A reason propagates as it
//! does there, each cell's answer the first its own evaluation meets, and
//! `IF` computes each branch at the cells that take it and at no other. An
//! operand computed at a cell whose answer an earlier operand has already
//! decided is computed for nothing and changes nothing, an evaluation having
//! no effect but its answer. A constant, and a reference every `$` holds, is
//! computed once for the run. What is not computed here is computed at each
//! cell by [`Ctx`] itself: a defined name, a form other than the language's
//! `IF` and `CHOOSE`, a range where one value is wanted, and a call with such
//! an operand.
//!
//! The language's other functions are computed here by the library's own
//! meaning of each (KERNEL.28): `ABS`, `INT`, `SIN` and `MOD` at the cells
//! where every operand is a number, computed or read where it stands, by the
//! library's function of numbers, and at any other cell by the library's
//! strict function there, so that no coercion, nor the order in which a call
//! meets its operands' reasons and errors, is written here; `ROW` and
//! `COLUMN` from the run's own cells, or from a reference's first cell moved
//! to each; and `CHOOSE` as `IF` is, its index at every cell and each value
//! at the cells that choose it and at no other.
//!
//! A lane holds each cell's answer as a value, or, while every answer is
//! one, as a number or a truth value (KERNEL.26): what a read of numbers,
//! the arithmetic and the comparisons over them, the aggregates and `IF`
//! make and read with no value's kind to match, a lane of values from the
//! first answer of another kind.
//!
//! A part a formula writes more than once is computed once where its places
//! stand in one branch of every `IF` around them (KERNEL.27), as Life's rule
//! writes `SUM(Screen.last!A1:C3)-Screen.last!B2` twice: computed where it is
//! first written, its lane kept, every later place taking a copy and the
//! last the lane itself. The parts are found once a shape ([`Repeats`]), each
//! place by its path from the parse's root, and every value is the one each
//! place would compute, an evaluation having no effect but its answer.
//!
//! Its buffers are its caller's, kept from one frame to the next ([`Lanes`])
//! and made in the first frame a run is evaluated in, as many as its parse
//! can hold at once whatever branch its cells take ([`holds`]), with a lane
//! for each repeated part, so that a later frame makes none; a value the
//! same at every cell is copied as often as alone, and so is a repeated
//! part's. It recurses once a level of nesting as [`Ctx`] does, a level's
//! frame holding no array, since `VLA.1`'s limits are pinned on a stack of
//! 1 MiB. Bit for bit with the cell by cell evaluation, which the machine's
//! tests hold it to over generated grids of every kind of node, and with
//! `Calc`, which plans and parses on its own.
