;;@subsection Character and Token Functions
;;
;;The following functions either skip, or build and return tokens,
;;according to inclusion or delimiting semantics.  The list of
;;characters to expect, include, or to break at may vary from one
;;invocation of a function to another.  This allows the functions to
;;easily parse even context-sensitive languages.
;;
;;Exceptions are mentioned specifically.  The list of expected
;;characters (characters to skip until, or break-characters) may
;;include an EOF "character", which is coded as symbol *eof*
;;
;;The input stream to parse is specified as a PORT, which is the last
;;argument.

;;@args char-list string port
;;
;;Reads a character from the @3 and looks it up in the
;;@1 of expected characters.  If the read character was
;;found among expected, it is returned.  Otherwise, the
;;procedure writes a message using @2 as a comment
;;and quits.
(define (ssax:assert-current-char expected-chars comment port)
  (let ((c (read-char port)))
    (if (memv c expected-chars) c
	(slib:error port "Wrong character " c
		    " (0x" (if (eof-object? c)
			       "*eof*"
			       (number->string (char->integer c) 16)) ") "
		    comment ". " expected-chars " expected"))))

;;@args char-list port
;;
;;Reads characters from the @2 and disregards them, as long as they
;;are mentioned in the @1.  The first character (which may be EOF)
;;peeked from the stream that is @emph{not} a member of the @1 is
;;returned.
(define (ssax:skip-while skip-chars port)
  (do ((c (peek-char port) (peek-char port)))
      ((not (memv c skip-chars)) c)
    (read-char port)))

;;;				Stream tokenizers
;;
;;Note: since we can't tell offhand how large the token being read is
;;going to be, we make a guess, pre-allocate a string, and grow it by
;;quanta if necessary.  The quantum is always the length of the string
;;before it was extended the last time.  Thus the algorithm does a
;;Fibonacci-type extension, which has been proven optimal.
;;
;;Size 32 turns out to be fairly good, on average.  That policy is
;;good only when a Scheme system is multi-threaded with preemptive
;;scheduling, or when a Scheme system supports shared substrings.  In
;;all the other cases, it's better for ssax:init-buffer to return the
;;same static buffer.  ssax:next-token* functions return a copy (a
;;substring) of accumulated data, so the same buffer can be reused.
;;We shouldn't worry about an incoming token being too large:
;;ssax:next-token will use another chunk automatically.  Still, the
;;best size for the static buffer is to allow most of the tokens to
;;fit in.  Using a static buffer _dramatically_ reduces the amount of
;;produced garbage (e.g., during XML parsing).

;;@body
;;
;;Returns an initial buffer for @code{ssax:next-token*} procedures.
;;@0 may allocate a new buffer at each invocation.
(define (ssax:init-buffer) (make-string 32))

;;;(define ssax:init-buffer
;;;  (let ((buffer (make-string 512)))
;;;    (lambda () buffer)))

;;@args prefix-char-list break-char-list comment-string port
;;
;;Skips any number of the prefix characters (members of the @1), if
;;any, and reads the sequence of characters up to (but not including)
;;a break character, one of the @2.
;;
;;The string of characters thus read is returned.  The break character
;;is left on the input stream.  @2 may include the symbol @code{*eof*};
;;otherwise, EOF is fatal, generating an error message including a
;;specified @3.

;;
;;@item TAG-KIND
;;
;;A symbol @samp{START}, @samp{END}, @samp{PI}, @samp{DECL},
;;@samp{COMMENT}, @samp{CDSECT}, or @samp{ENTITY-REF} that identifies
;;a markup token
;;
;;@item UNRES-NAME
;;
;;a name (called GI in the XML Recommendation) as given in an XML
;;document for a markup token: start-tag, PI target, attribute name.
;;If a GI is an NCName, UNRES-NAME is this NCName converted into a
;;Scheme symbol.  If a GI is a QName, @samp{UNRES-NAME} is a pair of
;;symbols: @code{(@var{PREFIX} . @var{LOCALPART})}.
;;
;;@item RES-NAME
;;
;;An expanded name, a resolved version of an @samp{UNRES-NAME}.  For
;;an element or an attribute name with a non-empty namespace URI,
;;@samp{RES-NAME} is a pair of symbols,
;;@code{(@var{URI-SYMB} . @var{LOCALPART})}.
;;Otherwise, it's a single symbol.
;;
;;@item ELEM-CONTENT-MODEL
;;
;;A symbol:
;;@table @samp
;;@item ANY
;;anything goes, expect an END tag.
;;@item EMPTY-TAG
;;no content, and no END-tag is coming
;;@item EMPTY
;;no content, expect the END-tag as the next token
;;@item PCDATA
;;expect character data only, and no children elements
;;@item MIXED
;;@item ELEM-CONTENT
;;@end table
;;
;;@item URI-SYMB
;;
;;A symbol representing a namespace URI -- or other symbol chosen by
;;the user to represent URI.  In the former case, @code{URI-SYMB} is
;;created by %-quoting of bad URI characters and converting the
;;resulting string into a symbol.
;;
;;@item NAMESPACES
;;
;;A list representing namespaces in effect.  An element of the list
;;has one of the following forms:
;;
;;@table @code
;;
;;@item (@var{prefix} @var{uri-symb} . @var{uri-symb}) or
;;
;;@item (@var{prefix} @var{user-prefix} . @var{uri-symb})
;;@var{user-prefix} is a symbol chosen by the user to represent the URI.
;;
;;@item (#f @var{user-prefix} . @var{uri-symb})
;;Specification of the user-chosen prefix and a URI-SYMBOL.
;;
;;@item (*DEFAULT* @var{user-prefix} . @var{uri-symb})
;;Declaration of the default namespace
;;
;;@item (*DEFAULT* #f . #f)
;;Un-declaration of the default namespace.  This notation
;;represents overriding of the previous declaration
;;
;;@end table
;;
;;A NAMESPACES list may contain several elements for the same @var{prefix}.
;;The one closest to the beginning of the list takes effect.
;;
;;@item ATTLIST
;;
;;An ordered collection of (@var{NAME} . @var{VALUE}) pairs, where
;;@var{NAME} is a RES-NAME or an UNRES-NAME.  The collection is an ADT.
;;
;;@item STR-HANDLER
;;
;;A procedure of three arguments: @var{string1} @var{string2}
;;@var{seed} returning a new @var{seed}.  The procedure is supposed to
;;handle a chunk of character data @var{string1} followed by a chunk
;;of character data @var{string2}.  @var{string2} is a short string,
;;often @samp{"\n"} and even @samp{""}.
;;
;;@item ENTITIES
;;An assoc list of pairs:
;;@lisp
;;   (@var{named-entity-name} . @var{named-entity-body})
;;@end lisp
;;
;;where @var{named-entity-name} is a symbol under which the entity was
;;declared, @var{named-entity-body} is either a string, or (for an
;;external entity) a thunk that will return an input port (from which
;;the entity can be read).  @var{named-entity-body} may also be #f.
;;This is an indication that a @var{named-entity-name} is currently
;;being expanded.  A reference to this @var{named-entity-name} will be
;;an error: violation of the WFC nonrecursion.
;;

;;
;;This record represents a markup, which is, according to the XML

;;comments, CDATA section delimiters, document type declarations, and

;;
;;@item XML-DECL
;;
;;The record represents a datatype of an XML document: the list of
;;declared elements and their attributes, declared notations, list of
;;replacement strings or loading procedures for parsed general

;;
;;@var{elem-name} is an UNRES-NAME for the element.
;;
;;@var{elem-content} is an ELEM-CONTENT-MODEL.
;;
;;@var{decl-attrs} is an @code{ATTLIST}, of
;;@code{(@var{attr-name} . @var{value})} associations.
;;
;;This element can declare a user procedure to handle parsing of an

;;@item decl-attr
;;an element of an @code{ATTLIST}, declaration of one attribute:

;;
;;@var{attr-name} is an UNRES-NAME for the declared attribute.

;;@code{NMTOKENS}, @dots{} or a list of strings for the enumerated
;;type.
;;
;;@var{use-type} is a symbol: @code{REQUIRED}, @code{IMPLIED}, or

;;These procedures are to instantiate a SSAX parser.  A user can
;;instantiate the parser to do the full validation, or no validation,
;;or any particular validation.  The user specifies which PI he wants
;;to be notified about.  The user tells what to do with the parsed
;;character and element data.  The latter handlers determine if the

;;NCName symbol, the PI target; and @var{pi-handler} is a procedure
;;taking arguments @var{port}, @var{pi-tag}, and @var{seed}.
;;
;;@var{pi-handler} should read the rest of the PI up to and including
;;the combination @samp{?>} that terminates the PI.  The handler
;;should return a new seed.  One of the @var{pi-tag}s may be the
;;symbol @code{*DEFAULT*}.  The corresponding handler will handle PIs
;;that no other handler will.  If the *DEFAULT* @var{pi-tag} is not
;;specified, @0 will assume the default handler that skips the body of
;;the PI.
