lib.rs

1//! Symbol table and scope management for Perl LSP.
2//!
3//! This crate provides the core data structures for tracking Perl symbols,
4//! references, and scopes for IDE features like go-to-definition,
5//! find-all-references, and semantic highlighting.
6//!
7//! # Core Types
8//!
9//! - [`Symbol`] - A symbol definition with metadata
10//! - [`SymbolReference`] - A reference to a symbol
11//! - [`SymbolTable`] - Central registry of symbols and references
12//! - [`Scope`] - A lexical scope boundary
13//! - [`ScopeKind`] - Classification of scope types
14//!
15//! # Usage
16//!
17//! ```
18//! use perl_symbol_table::{Symbol, SymbolTable, Scope, ScopeKind, ScopeId};
19//! use perl_symbol_types::SymbolKind;
20//! use perl_position_tracking::SourceLocation;
21//!
22//! // Create a symbol table
23//! let mut table = SymbolTable::new();
24//!
25//! // Add a symbol
26//! let symbol = Symbol {
27//!     name: "foo".to_string(),
28//!     qualified_name: "main::foo".to_string(),
29//!     kind: SymbolKind::Subroutine,
30//!     location: SourceLocation { start: 0, end: 10 },
31//!     scope_id: 0,
32//!     declaration: None,
33//!     documentation: Some("A function".to_string()),
34//!     attributes: vec![],
35//! };
36//!
37//! table.add_symbol(symbol);
38//! ```

55/// # Performance Characteristics
56/// - Memory: ~128 bytes per symbol (optimized for large codebases)
57/// - Lookup time: O(1) via hash table indexing
58/// - Scope resolution: O(log n) with scope hierarchy
59///
60/// # Perl Language Semantics
61/// - Package qualification: `Package::symbol` vs bare `symbol`
62/// - Scope rules: Lexical (`my`), package (`our`), dynamic (`local`), persistent (`state`)
63/// - Symbol types: Variables (`$`, `@`, `%`), subroutines, packages, constants
64/// - Attribute parsing: `:shared`, `:method`, `:lvalue` and custom attributes
