-- 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>Expecially the lpath code is experimental, we will support some of xpath, but
only things that make sense for us; as compensation it is possible to hook in your
own functions. Apart from preprocessing content for <l n='context'/> we also need
this module for process management, like handling <l n='ctx'/> and <l n='rlx'/>
files.</p>

<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>

<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)

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

<p>Often using an iterators looks nicer in the code than passing handler
functions. The <l n='lua'/> book describes how to use coroutines for that
purpose (<url href='http://www.lua.org/pil/9.3.html'/>). This permits
code like:</p>

<typing>
for r, d, k in xml.elements(xml.load('text.xml'),"title") do
    print(d[k])
end
</typing>

<p>Which will print all the titles in the document. The iterator variant takes
1.5 times the runtime of the function variant which is due to the overhead in
creating the wrapper. So, instead of:</p>

<typing>
function xml.filters.first(root,pattern)
    for rt,dt,dk in xml.elements(root,pattern)
        return dt and dt[dk], rt, dt, dk
    end
    return nil, nil, nil, nil
end

-- After a few years using the code the large luat-inp.lua file
-- has been split up a bit. In the process some functionality was
-- dropped:
--
-- * support for reading lsr files
-- * selective scanning (subtrees)
-- * some public auxiliary functions were made private
--
-- TODO: os.getenv -> os.env[]
-- TODO: instances.[hashes,cnffiles,configurations,522] -> ipairs (alles check, sneller)
-- TODO: check escaping in find etc, too much, too slow

-- This lib is multi-purpose and can be loaded again later on so that
-- additional functionality becomes available. We will split thislogs.report("fileio",
-- module in components once we're done with prototyping. This is the
-- first code I wrote for LuaTeX, so it needs some cleanup. Before changing
-- something in this module one can best check with Taco or Hans first; there
-- is some nasty trickery going on that relates to traditional kpse support.

-- To be considered: hash key lowercase, first entry in table filename
-- (any case), rest paths (so no need for optimization). Or maybe a
-- separate table that matches lowercase names to mixed case when
-- present. In that case the lower() cases can go away. I will do that
-- only when we run into problems with names ... well ... Iwona-Regular.

-- Beware, loading and saving is overloaded in luat-tmp!

<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>

</code>
TEXMFCACHE=$TMP;$TEMP;$TMPDIR;$TEMPDIR;$HOME;$TEXMFVAR;$VARTEXMF;.
</code>

<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>
