% \section{\pkg{morewrites} documentation}
%
% This \LaTeX{} package is a solution for the error
% \enquote{no room for a new \tn{write}},
% which occurs when a document reserves too many streams to write data
% to various auxiliary files.
% It is in principle possible to rewrite other packages so that they
% are less greedy on resources, but that is often unpractical for the
% end-user.  Instead, \pkg{morewrites} hooks at the lowest level (\TeX{}
% primitives).
%
% Simply add the line |\usepackage{morewrites}| near the beginning of
% your \LaTeX{} file's preamble: the \enquote{no room for a new
% \tn{write}} error should vanish.  If it does not, please
% contact me so that I can correct the problem.  This can be done by
% posting a question on the \url{tex.stackexchange.com} question and
% answers website, logging an issue on GitHub
% (\url{https://github.com/blefloch/latex-morewrites}), or emailing me a
% minimal file showing the problem.
%
% Notes.
% \begin{itemize}
% \item This package loads the \pkg{expl3} package, hence the
%   \pkg{l3kernel} bundle needs to be up to date.
% \item This package uses an auxiliary file, \meta{job~name}|.mw|,
%   which can safely be deleted.  Versions from 2015 and later will only
%   use the auxiliary file if it is originally empty, to avoid
%   destroying data (such as |.mw| files used by Maple).  This means
%   that |.mw| files generated by versions before 2015 should be
%   deleted by hand.
% \item \LuaTeX{} allows $128$ \tn{write} streams, so this package does
%   nothing (with a warning) when used with \LuaTeX{}.
% \end{itemize}

% \subsection{Commands defined or altered by \pkg{morewrites}}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2014-07-26]{\morewritessetup}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{morewritessetup} \Arg{key--value list}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets the options described by the \meta{key--value list}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-04-10]{allocate}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{morewritessetup} |{| |allocate| |=| \meta{integer} |}|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets to (at least) \meta{integer} the number of \tn{write} streams
%   allocated to the inner workings of \pkg{morewrites}.  By default
%   this is zero but increasing this value to 10 (or so) may speed up
%   \pkg{morewrites}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2014-07-26, updated = 2015-08-01]{file}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{morewritessetup} |{| |file| |=| \meta{file name} |}|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets (globally) the name of the file which will be used by internal
%   processes of \pkg{morewrites}.  The file name is \tn{jobname}|.mw|
%   by default (technically, \cs{c_sys_jobname_str}|.mw|).  Contrarily
%   to earlier versions of \pkg{morewrites} non-empty files will not be
%   overwritten; this design choice may lead to unwanted |.mw| files
%   remaining.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2015-08-01]{\newwrite}
%   This macro is redefined by \pkg{morewrites}.  Since \pkg{morewrites}
%   allows more than~$16$ write streams, it removes the corresponding
%   restrictions in \tn{newwrite}.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     The revised \tn{newwrite} allocate stream numbers starting at
%     $19$.  This might break some code that expects stream numbers to
%     be less than $16$.
%   \end{texnote}
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2015-08-01]{\immediate}
%   This primitive is altered by \pkg{morewrites}, to detect a following
%   \tn{write} or \tn{openout} or \tn{closeout} and perform the
%   appropriate action.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2017-04-20]{\openout, \write, \closeout}
%   These three primitives are altered by \pkg{morewrites} so that they
%   accept stream numbers outside the normal range $[0,15]$ and
%   open/write/close files as appropriate.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     System calls using \tn{write}|18| are detected and forwarded to the engine.
%   \end{texnote}
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\shipout}
%   This primitive is altered by \pkg{morewrites} to ensure that delayed
%   \tn{openout}, \tn{write} and \tn{closeout} commands are performed at
%   \tn{shipout} time, and in the correct order.
% \end{function}
%
% \subsection{Known deficiencies and open questions}
%
% See the bug tracker \url{https://github.com/blefloch/latex-morewrites/issues/}
% for a list of issues with \pkg{morewrites}.
%
% The package code is not good \pkg{expl3} code.  \emph{Do not take this
% package as an example of how to code with \pkg{expl3}; go and see
% Joseph Wright's \pkg{siunitx} instead.}  It uses
% \cs[no-index]{\ldots{}:D} primitives directly (the |:D| stands for
% \enquote{do not use}).  This is unavoidable in order to hook into the
% primitives \tn{immediate}, \tn{write}, \emph{etc.\@} and to keep a
% very strong control on what every command does.

%
% \subsection{Overview of relevant \TeX{} facts}
%
% The aim of the \pkg{morewrites} package is to lift \TeX{}'s
% restriction of only having $16$ files open for writing at the same
% time.  This requires patching the primitives \tn{immediate},
% \tn{openout}, \tn{write}, \tn{closeout}, and \tn{shipout}, and the
% macro \tn{newwrite} present in plain \TeX{} and \LaTeXe{}.
%
% Note that doing the same for \tn{read} streams is impossible due to
% the \tn{ifeof} primitive: that primitive cannot be replaced by a macro
% without breaking nesting of conditionals.
%
% The \pkg{morewrites} package should be loaded as early as possible, so
% that any package loaded later uses the redefined macros instead of the
% primitives.  However, the format (plain \TeX{} or \LaTeXe{}) and the
% \pkg{expl3} programming language are always loaded before
% \pkg{morewrites}, and their interaction must be carefully monitored.
%
% Henceforth, ``\TeX{} stream'' will refer to stream numbers in the
% range $[0,15]$ provided to \TeX{}'s write primitives, while
% ``user stream'' will denote stream numbers in $[0,15]\cup[19,\infty)$
% manipulated by the redefined \tn{openout}, \tn{write}, \tn{closeout},
% and \tn{newwrite}.  A user stream in $[0,15]$ (reserved by \LaTeXe{}
% or allocated by \pkg{expl3}) is mapped to the same \TeX{} stream
% number, while a user stream in $[19,\infty)$ is mapped to a \TeX{}
% stream according to the property list (with integer keys and values)
% \cs{l_@@_write_prop}.  Stream numbers $16$,
% $17$ and $18$ are unused because \tn{write}16 is often used to write
% to the terminal, and \tn{write}18 sends its argument to a shell.
%
% The primitives \tn{openout}, \tn{write}, and \tn{closeout} expect to
% be followed by an \meta{integer}, normally in the range $[0,15]$, then
% some further arguments.
% \begin{quote}
%   \tn{openout}    \meta{integer} \meta{equals} \meta{file name}        \\
%   \tn{write}      \meta{integer} \meta{filler} \meta{general text}     \\
%   \tn{closeout}   \meta{integer}
% \end{quote}
% All of the primitives above perform full expansion of all tokens when
% looking for their operands.
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \meta{integer} denotes an integer in any form that \TeX{}
%   accepts as the right-hand side of a primitive integer assignment of
%   the form \tn{count}|0=|\meta{integer};
% \item \meta{equals} is an arbitrary (optional) number of explicit or
%   implicit space characters, an optional explicit equal sign of
%   category other, and further (optional) explicit or implicit space
%   characters;
% \item \meta{file name} is an arbitrary sequence of explicit or implicit
%   characters with arbitrary category codes (except active characters,
%   which are expanded before reaching \TeX{}'s mouth), ending either
%   with a space character (character code $32$, arbitrary non-active
%   category code, explicit or implicit), which is removed, or with a
%   non-expandable token, with some care needed for the case of a
%   \tn{notexpanded:} expandable token;
% \item \meta{filler} is an arbitrary combination of tokens whose
%   meaning is \tn{relax} or whose category code is $10$;
% \item \meta{general text} is formed of braced tokens, starting with an
%   explicit or implicit begin-group character, and ending with the
%   matching explicit end-group character (both with any character
%   code), with an equal number of explicit begin-group and end-group
%   characters in between: this is precisely the right-hand side of an
%   assignment of the form \tn{toks}|0=|\meta{general text}.
% \end{itemize}
%
% The \pkg{morewrites} package redefines these three control sequences
% to expect a user stream number rather than a \TeX{} stream number as
% the \meta{integer}, then map such a user stream to a \TeX{} stream to
% call the primitive with the appropriate argument.  The primitive
% \tn{immediate} must also be redefined to detect \tn{openout},
% \tn{write}, and \tn{closeout} and make them immediate, while still
% working with other primitives that can be made immediate.  Finally,
% \tn{newwrite} must be patched to allocate stream numbers beyond $15$.
%
% A few comments on the behaviour of primitives concerning the
% \meta{integer} (\TeX{} stream).  The \tn{openout} primitive trigger
% errors if the \meta{integer} is not in $[0,15]$.  The primitive
% \tn{write} outputs to the log if the \meta{integer} is negative, and
% to the terminal if the \TeX{} stream is closed or greater than $15$,
% with the exception of \tn{write}|18| which runs code in a shell.  The
% \tn{closeout} primitive triggers an error if the \meta{integer} is not
% in $[0,15]$ and silently do nothing if the \TeX{} stream is not open,
% with the exception of \tn{closeout}|18| which causes a segfault at
% least in some versions.
%
% By default, \tn{openout}, \tn{write} and \tn{closeout} are recorded in
% a whatsit node in the current list, and will be performed when the box
% containing the whatsit node is sent to the final \texttt{pdf},
% \emph{i.e.}, at \enquote{shipout} time.  In particular, the
% \meta{general text} for the \tn{write} primitive is expanded at
% shipout time.  This behaviour may be modified by putting
% \tn{immediate} before any of these three primitives to force \TeX{} to
% perform the action immediately instead of recording it in a whatsit
% node.
%
% Since the \tn{openout}, \tn{write}, and \tn{closeout} primitives
% operate at \tn{shipout} time, we will have to hook into this primitive
% too.  It expects to be followed by a box specification, for instance
% \tn{box}\meta{integer} or \tn{hbox}\Arg{material to typeset}.
%
% Finally, the \tn{newwrite} macro expects one token as its argument,
% and defines this token (with \tn{chardef}) to be an integer
% corresponding to the first available (\TeX{}) write stream.  This must
% be extended to allocate higher (user) streams.

% \begin{variable}{\l_@@_user_int, \l_@@_tstr_tl}
%   The user stream number following redefined primitives is stored in

%
% \begin{macro}{\s_@@}
%   A recognizable version of \cs{scan_stop:}.  This is inspired
%   by\footnote{Historically, this might have happened the other way
%     around, since the author of this package is also on the \LaTeX3
%     Team.} scan marks (see the \pkg{l3quark} module of \LaTeX3), but

%
% \begin{variable}{\g_@@_iow, \g_@@_ior}
%   The expansion that \tn{write} performs is impossible to emulate (in \XeTeX{} at least) with
%   anything else than \tn{write}.  We will write on the stream
%   \cs{g_@@_iow} to the file \cs{g_@@_tmp_file_tl} and read back from
%   it in the stream \cs{g_@@_ior} for things to work properly.
%   Unfortunately, this means that the file is repeatedly opened and
%   closed, leaving a trace of that in the log.

%
% \begin{variable}{\g_@@_tmp_file_tl, \g_@@_tmp_file_bool}
%   Temporary file used to do the correct expansion for each \tn{write}.
%   Boolean indicating whether we have already checked that the file can

%    \begin{macrocode}
\int_new:N \g_@@_group_level_int

% \subsubsection{Helpers for auxiliary file}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@@_set_file:n}
%   Sets \cs{g_@@_tmp_file_tl} to the given value (initially
%   \cs{c_sys_jobname_str}|.mw|).  Mark that the file has not been
%   checked.

% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@@_empty_file:n}
%   Empties the file \cs{g_@@_tmp_file_tl} by opening it and closing it
%   right away.  This is used when performing \tn{immediate}
%   \tn{openout}.  It is also used to ensure the file used by
%   \pkg{morewrites} is left empty.  We do this every time the auxiliary
%   file is used, in case that run ends with an error mid-document.
%    \begin{macrocode}

%
% \begin{macro}[TF]{\@@_if_file_trivial:n}

% \begin{macro}{\@@_get_user:n}
%   \pkg{primargs} commands only take \texttt{N}-type arguments, but we

%
% \subsection{Writing}
%
% We can hold on to material while a file is being written and only
% write it in one go once the file closes, to avoid using a stream
% throughout.
%
% At any given time, each user stream may point to an open \TeX{}
% stream, given in \cs{g_@@_write_prop}, or may point to a token list
% that will eventually be written to a file whose file name is stored in
% \cs{g_@@_write_file_prop}, or may be closed.
%
% When a user stream points to a token list rather than a \TeX{} stream,
% any material to be written must be written to our temporary file and
% read back in to apply the same expansion as \tn{write} does.
%
% Another difficulty is that users may mix immediate and non-immediate
% operations.  The biggest difficulty comes from the possibility of
% copying boxes containing delayed actions.  If we ever produced a
% whatsit \tn{write}\meta{number}\Arg{text} then the \TeX{} stream
% \meta{number} would have to be reserved forever, as as copies of the
% box containing this delayed actions may be shipped out at any later
% point in the document.
%
% Each delayed action is thus saved in a separate numbered token list
% and \tn{write}\cs{g_@@_iow}\Arg{number} is inserted instead of the
% delayed action.  At each \tn{shipout}, the stream \cs{g_@@_iow} is
% opened, to catch the \meta{number} of each action that should be
% performed at this \tn{shipout}.
%
% \subsubsection{Redefining \tn{immediate}}
%
% To accomodate the \tn{immediate} primitive, our versions of
% \tn{openout}, \tn{write} and \tn{closeout} will take the form
% \begin{quote}
%   \cs{s_@@} \cs{use_i:nn}
%   \quad \Arg{code for delayed action} \\
%   \quad \Arg{code for immediate action} \\
%   \meta{further code}
% \end{quote}
% The leading \cs{s_@@} allows the redefined \tn{immediate} to detect
% these redefined primitives, and to run the \meta{code for immediate
% action} instead of the \meta{code for delayed action} which is run by
% default.  In both cases, any \meta{further code} is run.
%
% \begin{macro}[updated = 2012-12-05]{\@@_immediate:w}
% \begin{macro}{\@@_immediate_auxii:, \@@_immediate_auxiii:N}
%   \TeX{}'s \tn{immediate} primitive raises a flag which is cancelled
%   after \TeX{} sees a non-expandable token.  We use
%   \cs{primargs_read_x_token:N} to find the next non-expandable token
%   then test for \tn{openout}, \tn{write}, and \tn{closeout}.  More
%   precisely we test for the marker \cs{s_@@} and run the appropriate
%   code as described above.  Otherwise we call the primitive, for cases
%   where the next token is \tn{pdfobj} or similar.  This code performs
%   too much expansion for some nonsensical uses of \tn{noexpand} after
%   \tn{immediate}.

%
% \subsubsection{Immediate actions}
%
% The \tn{openout}, \tn{write}, and \tn{closeout} primitive can be
% either delayed or immediate.  In all cases they begin by looking for a
% user stream.  Here, we implement the immediate versions only.
%
% \begin{macro}{\@@_closeout:w, \@@_closeout_now:, \@@_closeout_now:nn}
%   In the immediate case \cs{@@_closeout_now:}, there are three cases.
%   The stream may point to a \TeX{} stream, in which case it is closed,
%   removed from \cs{g_@@_write_prop}, and put back in the list of
%   usable streams.  The stream may point to a token list, in which case
%   that token list should be written to the appropriate file.  The
%   stream may be closed, in which case nothing happens.
%   The auxiliary \cs{@@_closeout_now:nn} writes the material collected
%   so far for a given user stream |#1| to the file |#2|.  This uses the
%   \TeX{} stream \cs{g_@@_iow}.  The token list consists of multiple
%   \tn{immediate} \tn{write} \cs{g_@@_iow} \Arg{text} statements
%   because that is the only safe way to obtain new lines.  We do not
%   remove the stream/file pair from \cs{g_@@_write_file_prop}.

%   Immediately after all the \tn{write}s are performed, close the file,
%   then read the file with \tn{endlinechar} set to
%   \tn{newlinechar}\footnote{Note that the \tn{newlinechar} used by
%     \tn{write}s at \tn{shipout} time are those in effect when the page
%     is shipped out, \emph{i.e.}, just after the closing brace of the
%     \tn{shipout} construction, which is exactly where we have added
%     this hook.} to get exactly the original characters that have been
%   written, possibly with extra characters between |`(|\ldots{}|)|
%   groups.  The file is then read with all the appropriate category
%   codes set up (no other character can appear in the file).  The
%   looping auxiliary \cs{@@_after_shipout_loop:ww} extracts the
%   \meta{operation} numbers from the file, and makes a token list out
%   of those.  This token list is then used in a mapping function to
%   perform the appropriate \tn{write} operations.  Note that those
%   operations may reuse the file, so we have to fully parse the file
%   before moving on.
