-- This script is based on texmfstart.rb but does not use kpsewhich to
-- locate files. Although kpse is a library it never came to opening up
-- its interface to other programs (esp scripting languages) and so we
-- do it ourselves. The lua variant evolved out of an experimental ruby
-- one. Interesting is that using a scripting language instead of c does
-- not have a speed penalty. Actually the lua variant is more efficient,
-- especially when multiple calls to kpsewhich are involved. The lua
-- library also gives way more control.

-- to be done / considered
--
-- support for --exec or make it default
-- support for jar files (or maybe not, never used, too messy)
-- support for $RUBYINPUTS cum suis (if still needed)
-- remember for subruns: _CTX_K_V_#{original}_
-- remember for subruns: _CTX_K_S_#{original}_
-- remember for subruns: TEXMFSTART.#{original} [tex.rb texmfstart.rb]

<p>The parser used here is inspired by the variant discussed in the lua book, but
handles comment and processing instructions, has a different structure, provides
parent access; a first version used different trickery but was less optimized to we
went this route. First we had a find based parser, now we have an <l n='lpeg'/> based one.
The find based parser can be found in l-xml-edu.lua along with other older code.</p>

<p>Beware, the interface may change. For instance at, ns, tg, dt may get more
verbose names. Once the code is stable we will also remove some tracing and
optimize the code.</p>

<p>I might even decide to reimplement the parser using the latest <l n='lpeg'/> trickery
as the current variant was written when <l n='lpeg'/> showed up and it's easier now to
build tables in one go.</p>

<p>First a hack to enable namespace resolving. A namespace is characterized by
a <l n='url'/>. The following function associates a namespace prefix with a
pattern. We use <l n='lpeg'/>, which in this case is more than twice as fast as a
find based solution where we loop over an array of patterns. Less code and
much cleaner.</p>

--[[ldx--
<p>The next function also registers a namespace, but this time we map a
given namespace prefix onto a registered one, using the given
<l n='url'/>. This used for attributes like <t>xmlns:m</t>.</p>

<typing>
xml.checkns("m","http://www.w3.org/mathml")

<p>Next we provide a way to turn an <l n='url'/> into a registered
namespace. This used for the <t>xmlns</t> attribute.</p>

<p>A namespace in an element can be remapped onto the registered

--ldx]]--

--[[ldx--
<p>This version uses <l n='lpeg'/>. We follow the same approach as before, stack and top and
such. This version is about twice as fast which is mostly due to the fact that
we don't have to prepare the stream for cdata, doctype etc etc. This variant is
is dedicated to Luigi Scarso, who challenged me with 40 megabyte <l n='xml'/> files that
took 12.5 seconds to load (1.5 for file io and the rest for tree building). With
the <l n='lpeg'/> implementation we got that down to less 7.3 seconds. Loading the 14
<l n='context'/> interface definition files (2.6 meg) went down from 1.05 seconds to 0.55.</p>

<p>Next comes the parser. The rather messy doctype definition comes in many
disguises so it is no surprice that later on have to dedicate quite some
<l n='lpeg'/> code to it.</p>

<typing>
<!DOCTYPE Something PUBLIC "... ..." "..." [ ... ] >
<!DOCTYPE Something PUBLIC "... ..." "..." >
<!DOCTYPE Something SYSTEM "... ..." [ ... ] >
<!DOCTYPE Something SYSTEM "... ..." >
<!DOCTYPE Something [ ... ] >
<!DOCTYPE Something >
</typing>

<p>The code may look a bit complex but this is mostly due to the fact that we
resolve namespaces and attach metatables. There is only one public function:</p>

<typing>
local x = xml.convert(somestring)
</typing>

<p>An optional second boolean argument tells this function not to create a root
element.</p>

<p>Valid entities are:</p>

<typing>
<!ENTITY xxxx SYSTEM "yyyy" NDATA zzzz>
<!ENTITY xxxx PUBLIC "yyyy" >
<!ENTITY xxxx "yyyy" >

<p>This module deals with caching data. It sets up the paths and
implements loaders and savers for tables. Best is to set the
following variable. When not set, the usual paths will be
checked. Personally I prefer the (users) temporary path.</p>

TEXMFCACHE=$TMP;$TEMP;$TMPDIR;$TEMPDIR;$HOME;$TEXMFVAR;$VARTEXMF;.

<p>Currently we do no locking when we write files. This is no real
problem because most caching involves fonts and the chance of them
being written at the same time is small. We also need to extend
luatools with a recache feature.</p>

--[[ldx--
<p>Once we found ourselves defining similar cache constructs
several times, containers were introduced. Containers are used
to collect tables in memory and reuse them when possible based
on (unique) hashes (to be provided by the calling function).</p>

<p>Caching to disk is disabled by default. Version numbers are
stored in the saved table which makes it possible to change the
table structures without bothering about the disk cache.</p>

<p>Examples of usage can be found in the font related code.</p>
