34 -- SPITBOL-like interface facilities
36 -- This package provides a set of interfaces to semantic operations copied
37 -- from SPITBOL, including a complete implementation of SPITBOL pattern
38 -- matching. The code is derived from the original SPITBOL MINIMAL sources,
39 -- created by Robert Dewar. The translation is not exact, but the
40 -- algorithmic approaches are similar.

43 with Ada.Strings.Unbounded; use Ada.Strings.Unbounded;
44 with Interfaces; use Interfaces;
46 package GNAT.Spitbol is
47 pragma Preelaborate;
49 -- The Spitbol package relies heavily on the Unbounded_String package,
50 -- using the synonym VString for variable length string. The following
51 -- declarations define this type and other useful abbreviations.
53 subtype VString is Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Unbounded_String;
55 function V (Source : String) return VString
56 renames Ada.Strings.Unbounded.To_Unbounded_String;
58 function S (Source : VString) return String
59 renames Ada.Strings.Unbounded.To_String;
61 Nul : VString renames Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Null_Unbounded_String;
63 -------------------------
64 -- Facilities Provided --
65 -------------------------
67 -- The SPITBOL support in GNAT consists of this package together with
68 -- several child packages. In this package, we have first a set of
69 -- useful string functions, copied exactly from the corresponding
70 -- SPITBOL functions, except that we had to rename REVERSE because
71 -- reverse is a reserved word (it is now Reverse_String).
73 -- The second element of the parent package is a generic implementation
74 -- of a table facility. In SPITBOL, the TABLE function allows general
75 -- mappings from any datatype to any other datatype, and of course, as
76 -- always, we can freely mix multiple types in the same table.
78 -- The Ada version of tables is strongly typed, so the indexing type and
79 -- the range type are always of a consistent type. In this implementation
80 -- we only provide VString as an indexing type, since this is by far the
81 -- most common case. The generic instantiation specifies the range type
82 -- to be used.
84 -- Three child packages provide standard instantiations of this table
85 -- package for three common datatypes:
87 -- GNAT.Spitbol.Table_Boolean (file g-sptabo.ads)
89 -- The range type is Boolean. The default value is False. This
90 -- means that this table is essentially a representation of a set.
92 -- GNAT.Spitbol.Table_Integer (file g-sptain.ads)
94 -- The range type is Integer. The default value is Integer'First.
95 -- This provides a general mapping from strings to integers.
97 -- GNAT.Spitbol.Table_VString (file g-sptavs.ads)
99 -- The range type is VString. The default value is the null string.
100 -- This provides a general mapping from strings to strings.
102 -- Finally there is another child package:
104 -- GNAT.Spitbol.Patterns (file g-spipat.ads)
106 -- This child package provides a complete implementation of SPITBOL
107 -- pattern matching. The spec contains a complete tutorial on the
108 -- use of pattern matching.

111 -- Standard String Subprograms --
112 ---------------------------------
114 -- This section contains some operations on unbounded strings that are
115 -- closely related to those in the package Unbounded.Strings, but they
116 -- correspond to the SPITBOL semantics for these operations.
118 function Char (Num : Natural) return Character;
119 pragma Inline (Char);

143 function Reverse_String (Str : String) return VString;
144 -- Returns result of reversing the string Str, i.e. the result returned
145 -- is a mirror image (end-for-end reversal) of the input string.
147 procedure Reverse_String (Str : in out VString);

185 -- with the length (Len) given. Indexing_Error is raised if the starting

198 -- Utility Functions --
199 -----------------------
201 -- In SPITBOL, integer values can be freely treated as strings. The
202 -- following definitions help provide some of this capability in
203 -- some common cases.

210 -- its corresponding decimal string form, with no leading blank.
212 function S (Num : Integer) return String;
213 function V (Num : Integer) return VString;
214 -- These operators return the given integer converted to its decimal
215 -- string form with no leading blank.
217 function N (Str : VString) return Integer;
218 -- Converts string to number (same as Integer'Value (S (Str)))
220 -------------------
221 -- Table Support --
222 -------------------
224 -- So far, we only provide support for tables whose indexing data values
225 -- are strings (or unbounded strings). The values stored may be of any
226 -- type, as supplied by the generic formal parameter.
228 generic
230 type Value_Type is private;
231 -- Any non-limited type can be used as the value type in the table
233 Null_Value : Value_Type;
234 -- Value used to represent a value that is not present in the table
236 with function Img (A : Value_Type) return String;
237 -- Used to provide image of value in Dump procedure
239 with function "=" (A, B : Value_Type) return Boolean is <>;
240 -- This allows a user-defined equality function to override the
241 -- predefined equality function.
243 package Table is
245 ------------------------
246 -- Table Declarations --
247 ------------------------
249 type Table (N : Unsigned_32) is private;
250 -- This is the table type itself. A table is a mapping from string
251 -- values to values of Value_Type. The discriminant is an estimate of
252 -- the number of values in the table. If the estimate is much too
253 -- high, some space is wasted, if the estimate is too low, access to
254 -- table elements is slowed down. The type Table has copy semantics,
255 -- not reference semantics. This means that if a table is copied
256 -- using simple assignment, then the two copies refer to entirely
257 -- separate tables.

260 -- Table Access Operations --
261 -----------------------------
263 function Get (T : Table; Name : VString) return Value_Type;

270 -- is returned.

273 function Present (T : Table; Name : Character) return Boolean;
274 pragma Inline (Present);
275 function Present (T : Table; Name : String) return Boolean;
276 -- Determines if an entry with the given name is present in the table.
277 -- A returned value of True means that it is in the table, otherwise
278 -- False indicates that it is not in the table.
280 procedure Delete (T : in out Table; Name : VString);
281 procedure Delete (T : in out Table; Name : Character);
282 pragma Inline (Delete);
283 procedure Delete (T : in out Table; Name : String);
284 -- Deletes the table element with the given name from the table. If
285 -- no element in the table has this name, then the call has no effect.
287 procedure Set (T : in out Table; Name : VString; Value : Value_Type);
288 procedure Set (T : in out Table; Name : Character; Value : Value_Type);
289 pragma Inline (Set);
290 procedure Set (T : in out Table; Name : String; Value : Value_Type);
291 -- Sets the value of the element with the given name to the given
292 -- value. If Value is equal to Null_Value, the effect is to remove
293 -- the entry from the table. If no element with the given name is
294 -- currently in the table, then a new element with the given value
295 -- is created.
297 ----------------------------
298 -- Allocation and Copying --
299 ----------------------------
301 -- Table is a controlled type, so that all storage associated with
302 -- tables is properly reclaimed when a Table value is abandoned.
303 -- Tables have value semantics rather than reference semantics as
304 -- in Spitbol, i.e. when you assign a copy you end up with two
305 -- distinct copies of the table, as though COPY had been used in
306 -- Spitbol. It seems clearly more appropriate in Ada to require
307 -- the use of explicit pointers for reference semantics.
309 procedure Clear (T : in out Table);
310 -- Clears all the elements of the given table, freeing associated
311 -- storage. On return T is an empty table with no elements.
313 procedure Copy (From : Table; To : in out Table);
314 -- First all the elements of table To are cleared (as described for
315 -- the Clear procedure above), then all the elements of table From
316 -- are copied into To. In the case where the tables From and To have
317 -- the same declared size (i.e. the same discriminant), the call to
318 -- Copy has the same effect as the assignment of From to To. The
319 -- difference is that, unlike the assignment statement, which will
320 -- cause a Constraint_Error if the source and target are of different
321 -- sizes, Copy works fine with different sized tables.
