;;; Imports
;;; This is a fairly large library. While it was written for portability, you
;;; must be aware of its dependencies in order to run it in a given scheme
;;; implementation. Here is a complete list of the dependencies it has and the
;;; assumptions it makes beyond stock R5RS Scheme:
;;;
;;; This code has the following non-R5RS dependencies:
;;; - (RECEIVE (var ...) mv-exp body ...) multiple-value binding macro;
;;;
;;; - Various imports from the char-set library for the routines that can
;;;   take char-set arguments;
;;;   
;;; - An n-ary ERROR procedure;
;;;   
;;; - BITWISE-AND for the hash functions;
;;;   
;;; - A simple CHECK-ARG procedure for checking parameter values; it is 
;;;   (lambda (pred val proc) 
;;;     (if (pred val) val (error "Bad arg" val pred proc)))
;;;   
;;; - :OPTIONAL and LET-OPTIONALS* macros for parsing, defaulting & 
;;;   type-checking optional parameters from a rest argument;
;;;   
;;; - CHAR-CASED? and CHAR-TITLECASE for the STRING-TITLECASE & 
;;;   STRING-TITLECASE! procedures. The former returns true iff a character is
;;;   one that has case distinctions; in ASCII it returns true on a-z and A-Z.
;;;   CHAR-TITLECASE is analagous to CHAR-UPCASE and CHAR-DOWNCASE. In ASCII &
;;;   Latin-1, it is the same as CHAR-UPCASE.
;;;
;;; The code depends upon a small set of core string primitives from R5RS:
;;;     MAKE-STRING STRING-REF STRING-SET! STRING? STRING-LENGTH SUBSTRING 
;;; (Actually, SUBSTRING is not a primitive, but we assume that an 
;;; implementation's native version is probably faster than one we could
;;; define, so we import it from R5RS.)
;;;
;;; The code depends upon a small set of R5RS character primitives:
;;;   char? char=? char-ci=? char<? char-ci<?
;;;   char-upcase char-downcase
;;;   char->integer (for the hash functions)
;;;   
;;; We assume the following:
;;; - CHAR-DOWNCASE o CHAR-UPCASE = CHAR-DOWNCASE
;;; - CHAR-CI=? is equivalent to
;;;     (lambda (c1 c2) (char=? (char-downcase (char-upcase c1))
;;;                             (char-downcase (char-upcase c2))))
;;; - CHAR-UPCASE, CHAR-DOWNCASE and CHAR-TITLECASE are locale-insensitive
;;;   and consistent with Unicode's 1-1 char-mapping spec.
;;; These things are typically true, but if not, you would need to modify
;;; the case-mapping and case-insensitive routines.

;;; Enough introductory blather. On to the source code. (But see the end of
;;; the file for further notes on porting & performance tuning.)

;;; (string-unfold p f g seed [base make-final])
;;; This is the fundamental constructor for strings. 
;;; - G is used to generate a series of "seed" values from the initial seed:
;;;     SEED, (G SEED), (G^2 SEED), (G^3 SEED), ...
;;; - P tells us when to stop -- when it returns true when applied to one 
;;;   of these seed values.
;;; - F maps each seed value to the corresponding character 
;;;   in the result string. These chars are assembled into the
;;;   string in a left-to-right order.
;;; - BASE is the optional initial/leftmost portion of the constructed string;
;;;   it defaults to the empty string "".
;;; - MAKE-FINAL is applied to the terminal seed value (on which P returns
;;;   true) to produce the final/rightmost portion of the constructed string.
;;;   It defaults to (LAMBDA (X) "").
;;;
;;; In other words, the following (simple, inefficient) definition holds:
;;; (define (string-unfold p f g seed base make-final)
;;;   (string-append base
;;;                  (let recur ((seed seed))
;;;                    (if (p seed) (make-final seed)
;;;                        (string-append (string (f seed))
;;;                                       (recur (g seed)))))))
;;; 
;;; STRING-UNFOLD is a fairly powerful constructor -- you can use it to
;;; reverse a string, copy a string, convert a list to a string, read
;;; a port into a string, and so forth. Examples:
;;; (port->string port) =
;;;   (string-unfold (compose eof-object? peek-char)
;;;                  read-char values port)
;;;
;;; (list->string lis) = (string-unfold null? car cdr lis)
;;; 
;;; (tabulate-string f size) = (string-unfold (lambda (i) (= i size)) f add1 0)

;;; A problem with the following simple formulation is that it pushes one
;;; stack frame for every char in the result string -- an issue if you are
;;; using it to read a 100kchar string. So we don't use it -- but I include
;;; it to give a clear, straightforward description of what the function
;;; does.

;  (let ((ans (let recur ((seed seed) (i (string-length base)))

;;; The strategy is to allocate a series of chunks into which we stash the

;;; Porting & performance-tuning notes
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;; See the section at the beginning of this file on external dependencies.
;;;
;;; The biggest issue with respect to porting is the LET-OPTIONALS* macro.
;;; There are many, many optional arguments in this library; the complexity
;;; of parsing, defaulting & type-testing these parameters is handled with the
;;; aid of this macro. There are about 15 uses of LET-OPTIONALS*. You can
;;; rewrite the uses, port the hairy macro definition (which is implemented
;;; using a Clinger-Rees low-level explicit-renaming macro system), or port
;;; the simple, high-level definition, which is less efficient.
;;;
;;; There is a fair amount of argument checking. This is, strictly speaking,
;;; unnecessary -- the actual body of the procedures will blow up if, say, a
;;; START/END index is improper. However, the error message will not be as
;;; good as if the error were caught at the "higher level." Also, a very, very
;;; smart Scheme compiler may be able to exploit having the type checks done
;;; early, so that the actual body of the procedures can assume proper values.
;;; This isn't likely; this kind of compiler technology isn't common any 
;;; longer.
;;; 
;;; The overhead of optional-argument parsing is irritating. The optional
;;; arguments must be consed into a rest list on entry, and then parsed out.
;;; Function call should be a matter of a few register moves and a jump; it
;;; should not involve heap allocation! Your Scheme system may have a superior
;;; non-R5RS optional-argument system that can eliminate this overhead. If so,
;;; then this is a prime candidate for optimising these procedures,
;;; *especially* the many optional START/END index parameters.
;;;
;;; Note that optional arguments are also a barrier to procedure integration.
;;; If your Scheme system permits you to specify alternate entry points
;;; for a call when the number of optional arguments is known in a manner
;;; that enables inlining/integration, this can provide performance 
;;; improvements.
;;;
;;; There is enough *explicit* error checking that *all* string-index
;;; operations should *never* produce a bounds error. Period. Feel like
;;; living dangerously? *Big* performance win to be had by replacing
;;; STRING-REF's and STRING-SET!'s with unsafe equivalents in the loops. 
;;; Similarly, fixnum-specific operators can speed up the arithmetic done on 
;;; the index values in the inner loops. The only arguments that are not
;;; completely error checked are
;;;   - string lists (complete checking requires time proportional to the
;;;     length of the list)
;;;   - procedure arguments, such as char->char maps & predicates.
;;;     There is no way to check the range & domain of procedures in Scheme.
;;; Procedures that take these parameters cannot fully check their
;;; arguments. But all other types to all other procedures are fully
;;; checked.
;;;
;;; This does open up the alternate possibility of simply *removing* these 
;;; checks, and letting the safe primitives raise the errors. On a dumb
;;; Scheme system, this would provide speed (by eliminating the redundant
;;; error checks) at the cost of error-message clarity.
;;;
;;; See the comments preceding the hash function code for notes on tuning
;;; the default bound so that the code never overflows your implementation's
;;; fixnum size into bignum calculation.
;;;
;;; In an interpreted Scheme, some of these procedures, or the internal
;;; routines with % prefixes, are excellent candidates for being rewritten
;;; in C. Consider STRING-HASH, %STRING-COMPARE, the 
;;; %STRING-{SUF,PRE}FIX-LENGTH routines, STRING-COPY!, STRING-INDEX &
;;; STRING-SKIP (char-set & char cases), SUBSTRING and SUBSTRING/SHARED,
;;; %KMP-SEARCH, and %MULTISPAN-REPCOPY!.
;;;
;;; It would also be nice to have the ability to mark some of these
;;; routines as candidates for inlining/integration.
;;; 
;;; All the %-prefixed routines in this source code are written
;;; to be called internally to this library. They do *not* perform
;;; friendly error checks on the inputs; they assume everything is
;;; proper. They also do not take optional arguments. These two properties
;;; save calling overhead and enable procedure integration -- but they
;;; are not appropriate for exported routines.
