--  High level package for command line parsing and manipulation

--  Parsing the command line
--  ========================

--  This package provides an interface for parsing command line arguments,
--  when they are either read from Ada.Command_Line or read from a string list.
--  As shown in the example below, one should first retrieve the switches
--  (special command line arguments starting with '-' by default) and their
--  parameters, and then the rest of the command line arguments.

--  This package is flexible enough to accommodate various needs: optional
--  switch parameters, various characters to separate a switch and its
--  parameter, whether to stop the parsing at the first non-switch argument
--  encountered, etc.

--  begin
--     loop
--        case Getopt ("a b: ad") is  -- Accepts '-a', '-ad', or '-b argument'
--           when ASCII.NUL => exit;

--           when 'a' =>
--                 if Full_Switch = "a" then
--                    Put_Line ("Got a");
--                 else
--                    Put_Line ("Got ad");
--                 end if;

--           when 'b' =>
--              Put_Line ("Got b + " & Parameter);

--           when others =>
--              raise Program_Error;         -- cannot occur!
--        end case;
--     end loop;

--     loop
--        declare
--           S : constant String := Get_Argument (Do_Expansion => True);
--        begin
--           exit when S'Length = 0;
--           Put_Line ("Got " & S);
--        end;
--     end loop;

--  exception
--     when Invalid_Switch    => Put_Line ("Invalid Switch " & Full_Switch);
--     when Invalid_Parameter => Put_Line ("No parameter for " & Full_Switch);
--  end;

--  A more complicated example would involve the use of sections for the
--  switches, as for instance in gnatmake. The same command line is used to
--  provide switches for several tools. Each tool recognizes its switches by
--  separating them with special switches that act as section separators.
--  Each section acts as a command line of its own.

--  begin
--     Initialize_Option_Scan ('-', False, "largs bargs cargs");
--     loop
--        --  Same loop as above to get switches and arguments
--     end loop;

--     Goto_Section ("bargs");
--     loop
--        --  Same loop as above to get switches and arguments
--        --  The supported switches in Getopt might be different
--     end loop;

--     Goto_Section ("cargs");
--     loop
--        --  Same loop as above to get switches and arguments
--        --  The supported switches in Getopt might be different
--     end loop;
--  end;

--  The examples above show how to parse the command line when the arguments
--  are read directly from Ada.Command_Line. However, these arguments can also
--  be read from a list of strings. This can be useful in several contexts,
--  either because your system does not support Ada.Command_Line, or because
--  you are manipulating other tools and creating their command lines by hand,
--  or for any other reason.

--  To create the list of strings, it is recommended to use
--  GNAT.OS_Lib.Argument_String_To_List.

--  The example below shows how to get the parameters from such a list. Note
--  also the use of '*' to get all the switches, and not report errors when an
--  unexpected switch was used by the user

--  declare
--     Parser : Opt_Parser;
--     Args : constant Argument_List_Access :=
--        GNAT.OS_Lib.Argument_String_To_List ("-g -O1 -Ipath");
--  begin
--     Initialize_Option_Scan (Parser, Args);
--     while Getopt ("* g O! I=", Parser) /= ASCII.NUL loop
--        Put_Line ("Switch " & Full_Switch (Parser)
--                  & " param=" & Parameter (Parser));
--     end loop;
--     Free (Parser);
--  end;
--
--  Creating and manipulating the command line
--  ===========================================

--  This package provides mechanisms to create and modify command lines by
--  adding or removing arguments from them. The resulting command line is kept
--  as short as possible by coalescing arguments whenever possible.

--  Complex command lines can thus be constructed, for example from a GUI
--  (although this package does not by itself depend upon any specific GUI
--  toolkit). For instance, if you are configuring the command line to use when
--  spawning a tool with the following characteristics:

--    * Specifying -gnatwa is the same as specifying -gnatwu -gnatwv, but
--      shorter and more readable

--    * All switches starting with -gnatw can be grouped, for instance one
--      can write -gnatwcd instead of -gnatwc -gnatwd.
--      Of course, this can be combined with the above and -gnatwacd is the
--      same as -gnatwc -gnatwd -gnatwu -gnatwv

--    * The switch -T is the same as -gnatwAB

--    * A switch -foo takes one mandatory parameter

--  These properties can be configured through this package with the following
--  calls:

--     Config : Command_Line_Configuration;
--     Define_Prefix (Config, "-gnatw");
--     Define_Alias  (Config, "-gnatwa", "-gnatwuv");
--     Define_Alias  (Config, "-T",      "-gnatwAB");

--  Using this configuration, one can then construct a command line for the
--  tool with:

--     Cmd : Command_Line;
--     Set_Configuration (Cmd, Config);
--     Add_Switch (Cmd, "-bar");
--     Add_Switch (Cmd, "-gnatwu");
--     Add_Switch (Cmd, "-gnatwv");  --  will be grouped with the above
--     Add_Switch (Cmd, "-T");

--  The resulting command line can be iterated over to get all its switches,
--  There are two modes for this iteration: either you want to get the
--  shortest possible command line, which would be:

--      -bar -gnatwaAB

--  or on the other hand you want each individual switch (so that your own
--  tool does not have to do further complex processing), which would be:

--      -bar -gnatwu -gnatwv -gnatwA -gnatwB

--  Of course, we can assume that the tool you want to spawn would understand
--  both of these, since they are both compatible with the description we gave
--  above. However, the first result is useful if you want to show the user
--  what you are spawning (since that keeps the output shorter), and the second
--  output is more useful for a tool that would check whether -gnatwu was
--  passed (which isn't obvious in the first output). Likewise, the second
--  output is more useful if you have a graphical interface since each switch
--  can be associated with a widget, and you immediately know whether -gnatwu
--  was selected.
--
--  Some command line arguments can have parameters, which on a command line
--  appear as a separate argument that must immediately follow the switch.
--  Since the subprograms in this package will reorganize the switches to group
--  them, you need to indicate what is a command line
--  parameter, and what is a switch argument.

--  This is done by passing an extra argument to Add_Switch, as in:

--     Add_Switch (Cmd, "-foo", "arg1");

--  This ensures that "arg1" will always be treated as the argument to -foo,
--  and will not be grouped with other parts of the command line.

--  Parsing the command line with grouped arguments
--  ===============================================

--  The command line construction facility can also be used in conjunction with
--  Getopt to interpret a command line. For example when implementing the tool
--  described above, you would do a first loop with Getopt to pass the switches
--  and their arguments, and create a temporary representation of the command
--  line as a Command_Line object. Finally, you can query each individual
--  switch from that object. For instance:

--    declare
--      Cmd  : Command_Line;
--      Iter : Command_Line_Iterator;

--    begin
--      while Getopt ("foo: gnatw! T bar") /= ASCII.NUL loop
--         Add_Switch (Cmd, Full_Switch, Parameter);
--      end loop;

--      Start (Cmd, Iter, Expanded => True);
--      while Has_More (Iter) loop
--        if Current_Switch (Iter) = "-gnatwu" then ..
--        elsif Current_Switch (Iter) = "-gnatwv" then ...
--        end if;
--        Next (Iter);
--      end loop;

--  The above means that your tool does not have to handle on its own whether
--  the user passed -gnatwa (in which case -gnatwu was indeed selected), or
--  just -gnatwu, or a combination of -gnatw switches as in -gnatwuv.

   -------------

   type Opt_Parser is private;
   Command_Line_Parser : constant Opt_Parser;
   --  This object is responsible for parsing a list of arguments, which by
   --  default are the standard command line arguments from Ada.Command_Line.
   --  This is really a pointer to actual data, which must therefore be
   --  initialized through a call to Initialize_Option_Scan, and must be freed
   --  with a call to Free.
   --
   --  As a special case, Command_Line_Parser does not need to be either
   --  initialized or free-ed.

   procedure Initialize_Option_Scan
     (Switch_Char              : Character := '-';
      Stop_At_First_Non_Switch : Boolean := False;
      Section_Delimiters       : String := "");
   procedure Initialize_Option_Scan
     (Parser                   : out Opt_Parser;
      Command_Line             : GNAT.OS_Lib.Argument_List_Access;
      Switch_Char              : Character := '-';
      Stop_At_First_Non_Switch : Boolean := False;
      Section_Delimiters       : String := "");
   --  The first procedure resets the internal state of the package to prepare
   --  to rescan the parameters. It does not need to be called before the first
   --  use of Getopt (but it could be), but it must be called if you want to
   --  start rescanning the command line parameters from the start. The
   --  optional parameter Switch_Char can be used to reset the switch
   --  character, e.g. to '/' for use in DOS-like systems.
   --
   --  The second subprogram initializes a parser that takes its arguments from
   --  an array of strings rather than directly from the command line. In this
   --  case, the parser is responsible for freeing the strings stored in
   --  Command_Line. If you pass null to Command_Line, this will in fact create
   --  a second parser for Ada.Command_Line, which doesn't share any data with
   --  the default parser. This parser must be free-ed.
   --
   --  The optional parameter Stop_At_First_Non_Switch indicates if Getopt is
   --  to look for switches on the whole command line, or if it has to stop as
   --  soon as a non-switch argument is found.
   --
   --  Example:
   --
   --      Arguments: my_application file1 -c
   --
   --      If Stop_At_First_Non_Switch is False, then -c will be considered
   --      as a switch (returned by getopt), otherwise it will be considered
   --      as a normal argument (returned by Get_Argument).
   --
   --  If Section_Delimiters is set, then every following subprogram
   --  (Getopt and Get_Argument) will only operate within a section, which
   --  is delimited by any of these delimiters or the end of the command line.
   --
   --  Example:
   --      Initialize_Option_Scan (Section_Delimiters => "largs bargs cargs");
   --
   --      Arguments on command line : my_application -c -bargs -d -e -largs -f
   --      This line contains three sections, the first one is the default one
   --      and includes only the '-c' switch, the second one is between -bargs
   --      and -largs and includes '-d -e' and the last one includes '-f'.

   procedure Free (Parser : in out Opt_Parser);
   --  Free the memory used by the parser. Calling this is not mandatory for
   --  the Command_Line_Parser

   procedure Goto_Section
     (Name   : String := "";
      Parser : Opt_Parser := Command_Line_Parser);
   --  Change the current section. The next Getopt or Get_Argument will start
   --  looking at the beginning of the section. An empty name ("") refers to
   --  the first section between the program name and the first section
   --  delimiter. If the section does not exist in Section_Delimiters, then
   --  Invalid_Section is raised. If the section does not appear on the command
   --  line, then it is treated as an empty section.

   function Full_Switch
     (Parser : Opt_Parser := Command_Line_Parser) return String;
   --  Returns the full name of the last switch found (Getopt only returns the
   --  first character). Does not include the Switch_Char ('-' by default),
   --  unless the "*" option of Getopt is used (see below).

   function Getopt
     (Switches    : String;
      Concatenate : Boolean := True;
      Parser      : Opt_Parser := Command_Line_Parser) return Character;
   --  This function moves to the next switch on the command line (defined as
   --  switch character followed by a character within Switches, casing being
   --  significant). The result returned is the first character of the switch
   --  that is located. If there are no more switches in the current section,
   --  returns ASCII.NUL. If Concatenate is True (the default), the switches do
   --  not need to be separated by spaces (they can be concatenated if they do
   --  not require an argument, e.g. -ab is the same as two separate arguments
   --  -a -b).
   --
   --  Switches is a string of all the possible switches, separated by
   --  spaces. A switch can be followed by one of the following characters:
   --
   --   ':'  The switch requires a parameter. There can optionally be a space
   --        on the command line between the switch and its parameter.
   --
   --   '='  The switch requires a parameter. There can either be a '=' or a
   --        space on the command line between the switch and its parameter.
   --
   --   '!'  The switch requires a parameter, but there can be no space on the
   --        command line between the switch and its parameter.
   --
   --   '?'  The switch may have an optional parameter. There can be no space
   --        between the switch and its argument.
   --
   --        e.g. if Switches has the following value : "a? b",
   --        The command line can be:
   --
   --             -afoo    :  -a switch with 'foo' parameter
   --             -a foo   :  -a switch and another element on the
   --                           command line 'foo', returned by Get_Argument
   --
   --     Example: if Switches is "-a: -aO:", you can have the following
   --              command lines:
   --
   --                -aarg    :  'a' switch with 'arg' parameter
   --                -a arg   :  'a' switch with 'arg' parameter
   --                -aOarg   :  'aO' switch with 'arg' parameter
   --                -aO arg  :  'aO' switch with 'arg' parameter
   --
   --    Example:
   --
   --       Getopt ("a b: ac ad?")
   --
   --         accept either 'a' or 'ac' with no argument,
   --         accept 'b' with a required argument
   --         accept 'ad' with an optional argument
   --
   --  If the first item in switches is '*', then Getopt will catch
   --  every element on the command line that was not caught by any other
   --  switch. The character returned by GetOpt is '*', but Full_Switch
   --  contains the full command line argument, including leading '-' if there
   --  is one. If this character was not returned, there would be no way of
   --  knowing whether it is there or not.
   --
   --    Example
   --       Getopt ("* a b")
   --       If the command line is '-a -c toto.o -b', Getopt will return
   --       successively 'a', '*', '*' and 'b', with Full_Switch returning
   --       "a", "-c", "toto.o", and "b".
   --
   --  When Getopt encounters an invalid switch, it raises the exception
   --  Invalid_Switch and sets Full_Switch to return the invalid switch.
   --  When Getopt cannot find the parameter associated with a switch, it
   --  raises Invalid_Parameter, and sets Full_Switch to return the invalid
   --  switch.
   --
   --  Note: in case of ambiguity, e.g. switches a ab abc, then the longest
   --  matching switch is returned.
   --
   --  Arbitrary characters are allowed for switches, although it is
   --  strongly recommended to use only letters and digits for portability
   --  reasons.
   --
   --  When Concatenate is False, individual switches need to be separated by
   --  spaces.
   --
   --    Example
   --       Getopt ("a b", Concatenate => False)
   --       If the command line is '-ab', exception Invalid_Switch will be
   --       raised and Full_Switch will return "ab".

   function Get_Argument
     (Do_Expansion : Boolean := False;
      Parser       : Opt_Parser := Command_Line_Parser) return String;
   --  Returns the next element on the command line that is not a switch.  This
   --  function should not be called before Getopt has returned ASCII.NUL.
   --
   --  If Do_Expansion is True, then the parameter on the command line will
   --  be considered as a filename with wild cards, and will be expanded. The
   --  matching file names will be returned one at a time. This is useful in
   --  non-Unix systems for obtaining normal expansion of wild card references.
   --  When there are no more arguments on the command line, this function
   --  returns an empty string.

   function Parameter
     (Parser : Opt_Parser := Command_Line_Parser) return String;
   --  Returns parameter associated with the last switch returned by Getopt.
   --  If no parameter was associated with the last switch, or no previous call
   --  has been made to Get_Argument, raises Invalid_Parameter. If the last
   --  switch was associated with an optional argument and this argument was
   --  not found on the command line, Parameter returns an empty string.

   function Separator
     (Parser : Opt_Parser := Command_Line_Parser) return Character;
   --  The separator that was between the switch and its parameter. This is
   --  useful if you want to know exactly what was on the command line. This
   --  is in general a single character, set to ASCII.NUL if the switch and
   --  the parameter were concatenated. A space is returned if the switch and
   --  its argument were in two separate arguments.

   type Expansion_Iterator is limited private;
   --  Type used during expansion of file names

   procedure Start_Expansion
     (Iterator     : out Expansion_Iterator;
      Pattern      : String;
      Directory    : String := "";
      Basic_Regexp : Boolean := True);
   --  Initialize a wild card expansion. The next calls to Expansion will
   --  return the next file name in Directory which match Pattern (Pattern
   --  is a regular expression, using only the Unix shell and DOS syntax if
   --  Basic_Regexp is True). When Directory is an empty string, the current
   --  directory is searched.
   --
   --  Pattern may contain directory separators (as in "src/*/*.ada").
   --  Subdirectories of Directory will also be searched, up to one
   --  hundred levels deep.
   --
   --  When Start_Expansion has been called, function Expansion should
   --  be called repeatedly until it returns an empty string, before
   --  Start_Expansion can be called again with the same Expansion_Iterator
   --  variable.

   function Expansion (Iterator : Expansion_Iterator) return String;
   --  Returns the next file in the directory matching the parameters given
   --  to Start_Expansion and updates Iterator to point to the next entry.
   --  Returns an empty string when there are no more files.
   --
   --  If Expansion is called again after an empty string has been returned,
   --  then the exception GNAT.Directory_Operations.Directory_Error is raised.

   Invalid_Section : exception;
   --  Raised when an invalid section is selected by Goto_Section

   Invalid_Switch : exception;
   --  Raised when an invalid switch is detected in the command line

   Invalid_Parameter : exception;
   --  Raised when a parameter is missing, or an attempt is made to obtain a
   --  parameter for a switch that does not allow a parameter

   type Command_Line_Configuration is private;

   procedure Define_Alias
     (Config   : in out Command_Line_Configuration;
      Switch   : String;
      Expanded : String);
   --  Indicates that whenever Switch appears on the command line, it should
