lib.rs

//! Fast, fault-tolerant PHP parser that produces a fully typed AST.
//!
//! This crate parses PHP source code (PHP 7.4–8.5) into a [`php_ast::Program`]
//! tree, recovering from syntax errors so that downstream tools always receive
//! a complete AST.
//!
//! # Semantic-rejection responsibility
//!
//! The parser is fault-tolerant: it always produces an AST and reports every
//! error it can identify before recovering. Its semantic-rejection
//! responsibility is defined externally:
//!
//! > **For any input, the parser emits at least one diagnostic iff `php -l`
//! > would reject that input at the configured target PHP version.**
//!
//! Flow-sensitive checks — cross-file resolution, unused variables, dead code,
//! type-mismatched returns — are out of scope and belong in a later semantic
//! layer. Checks decidable from one declaration, one parameter list, one
//! modifier set, or one declaration loop are in scope and use
//! [`diagnostics::ParseError::Forbidden`].
//!
//! The `===php_error===` section in `tests/fixtures/**/*.phpt` records `php -l`
//! output; the fixture runner enforces the rule above by failing CI when PHP
//! rejects an input that the parser silently accepts.
//!
//! # Quick start
//!
//! ```
//! let result = php_rs_parser::parse("<?php echo 'hello';");
//! assert!(result.errors.is_empty());
//! ```
//!
//! # Version-aware parsing
//!
//! Use [`parse_versioned`] to target a specific PHP version. Syntax that
//! requires a higher version is still parsed into the AST, but a
//! [`diagnostics::ParseError::VersionTooLow`] diagnostic is emitted.
//!
//! ```
//! let result = php_rs_parser::parse_versioned(
//!     "<?php enum Status { case Active; }",
//!     php_rs_parser::PhpVersion::Php80,
//! );
//! assert!(!result.errors.is_empty()); // enums require PHP 8.1
//! ```
//!
//! # Multi-file cache
//!
//! [`parse`] returns a [`ParseResult`] with no lifetime parameters — fully
//! owned, storable in a `HashMap`, sendable across threads.
//!
//! ```
//! use std::collections::HashMap;
//! use std::path::PathBuf;
//!
//! let mut cache: HashMap<PathBuf, php_rs_parser::ParseResult> = HashMap::new();
//! cache.insert(PathBuf::from("a.php"), php_rs_parser::parse("<?php echo 1;"));
//! ```
//!
//! # Arena API (LSP / hot-path usage)
//!
//! Use [`parse_arena`] / [`ParserContext`] when you need maximum throughput
//! and can manage the arena lifetime yourself. The returned
//! [`ArenaParseResult`] borrows from both the arena and the source string —
//! no allocation copying occurs.
//!
//! ```
//! let mut ctx = php_rs_parser::ParserContext::new();
//!
//! let result = ctx.reparse("<?php echo 1;");
//! assert!(result.errors.is_empty());
//! drop(result); // must be dropped before the next reparse
//!
//! let result = ctx.reparse("<?php echo 2;");
//! assert!(result.errors.is_empty());
//! ```
