;			Simple Parsing of input
;
; The following simple functions surprisingly often suffice to parse
; an input stream. They either skip, or build and return tokens,
; according to inclusion or delimiting semantics. The list of
; characters to expect, include, or to break at may vary from one
; invocation of a function to another. This allows the functions to
; easily parse even context-sensitive languages.
;
; EOF is generally frowned on, and thrown up upon if encountered.
; Exceptions are mentioned specifically. The list of expected characters 
; (characters to skip until, or break-characters) may include an EOF
; "character", which is to be coded as symbol *eof*
;
; The input stream to parse is specified as a PORT, which is usually
; the last (and optional) argument. It defaults to the current input
; port if omitted.
;
; IMPORT
; This package relies on a function parser-error, which must be defined
; by a user of the package. The function has the following signature:
;	parser-error PORT MESSAGE SPECIALISING-MSG*
; Many procedures of this package call parser-error to report a parsing
; error.  The first argument is a port, which typically points to the
; offending character or its neighborhood. Most of the Scheme systems
; let the user query a PORT for the current position. MESSAGE is the
; description of the error. Other arguments supply more details about
; the problem.
; myenv.scm, myenv-bigloo.scm or a similar prelude is assumed.
; From SRFI-13, string-concatenate-reverse
; If a particular implementation lacks SRFI-13 support, please
; include the file srfi-13-local.scm

; -- procedure+: 
;    next-token PREFIX-CHAR-LIST BREAK-CHAR-LIST [COMMENT-STRING] [PORT]
;	skips any number of the prefix characters (members of the
;	PREFIX-CHAR-LIST), if any, and reads the sequence of characters
;	up to (but not including) a break character, one of the
;	BREAK-CHAR-LIST.
;	The string of characters thus read is returned.
;	The break character is left on the input stream
;	The list of break characters may include EOF, which is to be coded as
;	a symbol *eof*. Otherwise, EOF is fatal, generating an error message
;	including a specified COMMENT-STRING (if any)
;
;	The optional argument PORT defaults to the current input port.
;
; Note: since we can't tell offhand how large the token being read is
; going to be, we make a guess, pre-allocate a string, and grow it by
; quanta if necessary. The quantum is always the length of the string
; before it was extended the last time. Thus the algorithm does
; a Fibonacci-type extension, which has been proven optimal.
; Note, explicit port specification in read-char, peek-char helps.

; Procedure: input-parse:init-buffer
; returns an initial buffer for next-token* procedures.
; The input-parse:init-buffer may allocate a new buffer per each invocation:
;	(define (input-parse:init-buffer) (make-string 32))
; Size 32 turns out to be fairly good, on average.
; That policy is good only when a Scheme system is multi-threaded with
; preemptive scheduling, or when a Scheme system supports shared substrings.
; In all the other cases, it's better for input-parse:init-buffer to
; return the same static buffer. next-token* functions return a copy
; (a substring) of accumulated data, so the same buffer can be reused.
; We shouldn't worry about an incoming token being too large:
; next-token will use another chunk automatically. Still, 
; the best size for the static buffer is to allow most of the tokens to fit in.
; Using a static buffer _dramatically_ reduces the amount of produced garbage
; (e.g., during XML parsing).

; The overhead of copying characters is only 100% (or even smaller: bulk
; string copying might be well-optimised), compared to the (hypothetical)
; circumstance if we had known the size of the token beforehand.
; For small tokens, the code performs just as above. For large
; tokens, we expect an improvement. Note, the code also has no
; assignments.
