% \begin{documentation}
%
% Messages need to be passed to the user by modules, either when errors
% occur or to indicate how the code is proceeding. The \pkg{l3msg}
% module provides a consistent method for doing this (as opposed to
% writing directly to the terminal or log).
%
% The system used by \pkg{l3msg} to create messages divides the process
% into two distinct parts. Named messages are created in the first part
% of the process; at this stage, no decision is made about the type of
% output that the message will produce. The second part of the process
% is actually producing a message. At this stage a choice of message
% \emph{class} has to be made, for example \texttt{error},
% \texttt{warning} or \texttt{info}.
%
% By separating out the creation and use of messages, several benefits
% are available. First, the messages can be altered later without
% needing details of where they are used in the code. This makes it
% possible to alter the language used, the detail level and so on.
% Secondly, the output which results from a given message can be
% altered. This can be done on a message class, module or message name
% basis. In this way, message behaviour can be altered and messages can
% be entirely suppressed.
%
% \section{Creating new messages}
%
% All messages have to be created before they can be used.
% The text of messages is automatically wrapped to the length
% available in the console. As a result, formatting is only needed
% where it helps to show meaning. In particular, |\\| may be
% used to force a new line and \verb*|\ | forces an explicit space.
% Additionally, |\{|, |\#|, |\}|, |\%| and |\~| can be used to produce
% the corresponding character.
%
% Messages may be subdivided \emph{by one level} using the~|/|
% character.  This is used within the message filtering system to allow
% for example the \LaTeX{} kernel messages to belong to the module
% \texttt{LaTeX} while still being filterable at a more granular level.
% Thus for example
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \msg_new:nnnn { mymodule } { submodule / message } ...
% \end{verbatim}
% will allow to filter out specifically messages from the \texttt{submodule}.
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2011-08-16]{\msg_new:nnnn, \msg_new:nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{msg_new:nnnn} \Arg{module} \Arg{message} \Arg{text} \Arg{more text}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates a \meta{message} for a given \meta{module}.
%   The message is defined to first give \meta{text} and then
%   \meta{more text} if the user requests it. If no \meta{more text} is
%   available then a standard text is given instead. Within \meta{text}
%   and \meta{more text} four parameters (|#1| to |#4|) can be used:
%   these will be supplied at the time the message is
%   used. An error is raised if the \meta{message} already exists.

%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{msg_set:nnnn} \Arg{module} \Arg{message} \Arg{text} \Arg{more text}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets up the text for a \meta{message} for a given \meta{module}.
%   The message is defined to first give \meta{text} and then

%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2018-10-10]{\g_msg_module_name_prop}
%   Provides a mapping between the module name used for messages, and that

%   the reserved |LaTeX| tree, but are printed as |LaTeX3|.
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2018-10-10]{\g_msg_module_type_prop}
%   Provides a mapping between the module name used for messages, and that

% \section{Issuing messages}
%
% Messages behave differently depending on the message class. In all cases,
% the message may be issued supplying~$0$ to~$4$ arguments.  If the number of
% arguments supplied here does not match the number in the definition of the
% message, extra arguments are ignored, or empty arguments added (of
% course the sense of the message may be impaired). The four arguments are
% converted to strings before being added to the message text: the
% \texttt{x}-type variants should be used to expand material.
% Note that this expansion takes place with the standard definitions in
% effect, which means that shorthands such as |\~| or |\\| are
% \emph{not} available; instead one should use \cs{iow_char:N} |\~| and
% \cs{iow_newline:}, respectively.
% The following message classes exist:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \texttt{fatal}, ending the \TeX{} run;
% \item \texttt{critical}, ending the file being input;
% \item \texttt{error}, interrupting the \TeX{} run without ending it;
% \item \texttt{warning}, written to terminal and log file, for
%   important messages that may require corrections by the user;
% \item \texttt{note} (less common than \texttt{info}) for important
%   information messages written to the terminal and log file;
% \item \texttt{info} for normal information messages written to the log
%   file only;
% \item \texttt{term} and \texttt{log} for un-decorated messages written
%   to the terminal and log file, or to the log file only;
% \item \texttt{none} for suppressed messages.
% \end{itemize}

% used if there is no alternative approach using \cs{msg_error:nnnnnn}
% or other non-expandable commands from the previous section.  Despite
% having a similar interface as non-expandable messages, expandable
% errors must be handled internally very differently from normal error
% messages, as none of the tools to print to the terminal or the log
% file are expandable.  As a result, short-hands such as |\{| or |\\| do
% not work, and messages must be very short (with default settings,
% they are truncated after approximately 50 characters).  It is
% advisable to ensure that the message is understandable even when
% truncated, by putting the most important information up front.
% Another particularity of expandable messages is that they
% cannot be redirected or turned off by the user.

%   Issues an \enquote{Undefined error} message from \TeX{} itself
%   using the undefined control sequence \cs{::error} then prints
%   \enquote{! \meta{module}: }\meta{error message}, which should be
%   short.  With default settings, anything beyond approximately $60$
%   characters long (or bytes in some engines) is cropped.  A leading
%   space might be removed as well.
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Redirecting messages}
%
% Each message has a \enquote{name}, which can be used to alter the behaviour
% of the message when it is given. Thus we might have
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \msg_new:nnnn { module } { my-message } { Some~text } { Some~more~text }
% \end{verbatim}
% to define a message, with
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \msg_error:nn { module } { my-message }
% \end{verbatim}
% when it is used. With no filtering, this raises an error. However, we
% could alter the behaviour with
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \msg_redirect_class:nn { error } { warning }
% \end{verbatim}
% to turn all errors into warnings, or with
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \msg_redirect_module:nnn { module } { error } { warning }
% \end{verbatim}
% to alter only messages from that module, or even
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \msg_redirect_name:nnn { module } { my-message } { warning }
% \end{verbatim}
% to target just one message. Redirection applies first to individual messages,
% then to messages from one module and finally to messages of one class. Thus
% it is possible to select out an individual message for special treatment
% even if the entire class is already redirected.
%
% Multiple redirections are possible.  Redirections can be cancelled by
% providing an empty argument for the target class.  Redirection to a
% missing class raises an error immediately.  Infinite loops are
% prevented by eliminating the redirection starting from the target of
% the redirection that caused the loop to appear.  Namely, if
% redirections are requested as $A \to B$, $B \to C$ and $C \to A$ in
% this order, then the $A \to B$ redirection is cancelled.

%   the message itself to a wrapping auxiliary, in this order because we
%   must first setup \TeX{}'s \tn{errhelp} register before issuing an
%   \tn{errmessage}. To deal with the various cases of critical or fatal
%   errors with and without help text, there is a bit of argument-passing
%   to do.

%   We ave to split the main text into two parts as only the \enquote{message}

%
% \begin{macro}{\@@_interrupt:n}
%   The business end of the process starts by producing some visual
%   separation of the message from the main part of the log.  The error
%   message needs to be printed with everything made
%   \enquote{invisible}: \TeX{}'s own information involves the macro in
%   which \tn{errmessage} is called, and the end of the argument of the
%   \tn{errmessage}, including the closing brace.  We use an active |!|
%   to call the \tn{errmessage} primitive, and end its argument with
%   \cs{use_none:n} \Arg{spaces} which fills the output with spaces.  Two
%   trailing closing braces are turned into spaces to hide them as well.
%   The group in which we alter the definition of the active |!| is
%   closed before producing the message: this ensures that tokens
%   inserted by typing |I| in the command-line are inserted after
%   the message is entirely cleaned up.
%
%   The \cs{__kernel_iow_with:Nnn} auxiliary, defined in \pkg{l3file}, expects
%   an \meta{integer variable}, an integer \meta{value}, and some
%   \meta{code}.  It runs the \meta{code} after ensuring that the
%   \meta{integer variable} takes the given \meta{value}, then restores
%   the former value of the \meta{integer variable} if needed.  We use
%   it to ensure that the \tn{newlinechar} is $10$, as needed for
%   \cs{iow_newline:} to work, and that \tn{errorcontextlines} is $-1$,
%   to avoid showing irrelevant context.  Note that restoring the former
%   value of these integers requires inserting tokens after the
%   \tn{errmessage}, which go in the way of tokens which could be
%   inserted by the user.  This is unavoidable.

%   Since multiple redirections can only happen with increasing
%   specificity, a loop requires that all steps are of the same
%   specificity.  The new redirection can thus only create a loop with
%   other redirections for the exact same module, |#1|, and not
%   submodules.  After some initialization above, follow redirections
%   with \cs{l_@@_class_tl}, and keep track in
%   \cs{l_@@_class_loop_seq} of the various classes encountered.  A
%   redirection from a class to itself, or the absence of redirection
%   both mean that there is no loop.  A redirection to the initial class
%   marks a loop.  To break it, we must decide which redirection to
%   cancel.  The user most likely wants the newly added redirection to
%   hold with no further redirection.  We thus remove the redirection
%   starting from |#2|, target of the new redirection.  Note that no
%   message is emitted by any of the underlying functions: otherwise we
%   may get an infinite loop because of a message from the message
%   system itself.

% \subsection{Expandable errors}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@@_expandable_error:nn}
%   In expansion only context, we cannot use the normal means of
%   reporting errors. Instead, we rely on a low-level \TeX{} error
%   caused by expanding a macro \cs{???} with parameter text ``|?|''
%   (this could be any token) which we used followed by something else
%   (here, a space).  This shows
%   the context, which thanks to the odd-looking \cs{use:n} is
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     <argument> \???
%                     ! mypkg Error: The error message.
%   \end{verbatim}
%   In other words, \TeX{} is processing the argument of \cs{use:n},
%   which is \cs{???} \meta{space} |!| \meta{error type} |:| \meta{error message}.

%   The command built from the csname
%   \cs{c_@@_text_prefix_tl} |#1 / #2|
%   takes four arguments and builds the error text, which is fed to
%   \cs{@@_expandable_error:n} with appropriate expansion: just as for
%   usual messages the arguments are first turned to strings, then the
%   message is fully expanded.  The module name also has to be determined.
