package Perl::Tidy::Formatter;

####################################################################
#
# The Perl::Tidy::Formatter package adds indentation, whitespace, and
# line breaks to the token stream

# Usage Outline:
#
#   STEP 1: initialize or re-initialize Formatter with user options
#     Perl::Tidy::Formatter::check_options($rOpts);
#
#   STEP 2: create a tokenizer for the source stream
#
#   STEP 3: create a formatter for the destination stream
#     my $formatter = Perl::Tidy::Formatter->new(
#         ...
#         sink_object        => $destination,
#         ...
#     );
#
#   STEP 4: process each input line (see sub Perl::Tidy::process_single_case)
#     while ( my $line = $tokenizer->get_line() ) {
#       $formatter->write_line($line);
#     }
#
#   STEP 4: finish formatting
#     $formatter->finish_formatting($severe_error);

        # The decision about where to break a line depends upon a "bond

        # things there are several pre-defined strength levels:

        #    NO_BREAK    => 10000;
        #    VERY_STRONG => 100;
        #    STRONG      => 2.1;

        #    WEAK        => 0.8;
        #    VERY_WEAK   => 0.55;

        # The strength values are based on trial-and-error, and need to be
        # tweaked occasionally to get desired results.  Some comments:
        #
        #   1. Only relative strengths are important.  small differences
        #      in strengths can make big formatting differences.
        #   2. Each indentation level adds one unit of bond strength.
        #   3. A value of NO_BREAK makes an unbreakable bond
        #   4. A value of VERY_WEAK is the strength of a ','
        #   5. Values below NOMINAL are considered ok break points.
        #   6. Values above NOMINAL are considered poor break points.
        #
        # The bond strengths should roughly follow precedence order where
        # possible.  If you make changes, please check the results very
        # carefully on a variety of scripts.  Testing with the -extrude
        # options is particularly helpful in exercising all of the rules.

        # Wherever possible, bond strengths are defined in the following
        # tables.  There are two main stages to setting bond strengths and
        # two types of tables:
        #
        # The first stage involves looking at each token individually and
        # defining left and right bond strengths, according to if we want
        # to break to the left or right side, and how good a break point it
        # is.  For example tokens like =, ||, && make good break points and
        # will have low strengths, but one might want to break on either
        # side to put them at the end of one line or beginning of the next.
        #
        # The second stage involves looking at certain pairs of tokens and
        # defining a bond strength for that particular pair.  This second
        # stage has priority.

    # index in the hash %K_unique_key. Then we compare all quoted text
    # with these unique keys.  If a key matches a quoted string, then
    # it is removed from the set of unique keys.

    # for which most keys are unique.  These are most likely used for
    # communication with other code and thus unlikely to be errors.

    # PHASE 4: Any remaining keys are output along with their line number.

        #   The first line of a file that matches this will be eval'd:
        #       /([\$*])(([\w\:\']*)\bVERSION)\b.*\=/

        #     *VERSION = \'1.01';

        #   had been flattened into a single line and couldn't be

        #      the max in all of the perltidy source lines is 44 tokens)
        #   Second, we will only allow up to one semicolon
        #   before the VERSION.  We need to allow at least one semicolon
        #   for statements like this:
        #      require Exporter;  our $VERSION = $Exporter::VERSION;

    # - We create a stack of block braces
    # - We walk through the tokens in the file
    # - At an opening block brace, we push a new stack entry
    # - At a closing block brace, we pop the stack,
    #     and check the count of any 'my' vars (issue 'u')
    # - At an identifier, like '$var':
    #   - if it follows a 'my' we enter it on the stack with starting count 0
    #     check conflicts with any other vars on the stack (issues 'r' and 's')
    #   - otherwise, we see if the variable is in the stack, and if so,
    #     update the count
    # - At a package, we see if it has access to existing 'my' vars (issue 'p')

    # There are lots of details, but that's the main idea. A difficulty is
    # when 'my' vars are created in the control section of blocks such as
    # for, foreach, if, unless, .. these follow special rules. The

    # layer stack entry which is pushed on just before these blocks.

    #    - a simple scalar identifier like '$href{' or '$aryref['

    #   ']' and '[', for example, consider
    #   my $v1 = [ 1, 2, [ 3, 4 ] ]->[2]->[0];    # ok
    #   my $v2 = [ 1, 2, [ 3, 4 ] ]->[2][0];      # ok, keep required arrow
    #   my $v3 = [ 1, 2, [ 3, 4 ] ][2][0];        # Error

    #   Perltidy marks the '$' as type 't', and since the logic below checks
    #   for identifiers of type 'i', it will work ok.

        # have a fork with a handle and collapsible prongs:
        #
        #                            |------------

        # node is the maximum of these minimum lengths, plus the handle length.
        # Each of the prongs may itself be a tree node.

        # This is just a rough calculation to get an approximate starting point

    # the pipeline to the VerticalAligner package, breaking the code into
    # continuation lines as necessary.  The batch of tokens are in the "to_go"
    # arrays.  The name 'grind' is slightly suggestive of a machine continually

    # The two routines 'process_line_of_CODE' and 'grind_batch_of_CODE' work

    # line.

    # lines.

    # sequences of tokens, regardless of line length, and then

        # We are working with a sequence of output lines and looking at
        # each pair. We must decide if it is better to join each of
        # these line pairs.

        # The brute force method is to loop through all line pairs and
        # join the best possible pair, as determined by either some
        # logical criterion or by the maximum 'bond strength' assigned
        # to the joining token.  Then keep doing this until there are
        # no remaining line pairs to join.

        # This works, but a problem is that it can theoretically take
        # on the order of N^2 comparisons in some pathological cases.
        # This can require an excessive amount of run time.

        # We can avoid excessive run time by conceptually dividing the
        # work into two phases. In the first phase we make any joints
        # required by user settings or logic other than the strength of
        # joints.  In the second phase we make any remaining joints
        # based on strengths.  To do this optimally, we do a preliminary
        # sort on joint strengths and always loop in that order.  That
        # way, we can stop a search on the first joint strength because
        # it will be the maximum.

        # This method is very fast, requiring no more than 3*N line
        # comparisons, where N is the number of lines (see below).

        # already been set (and according to user preferences), so we need do
        # nothing here.
        #
        # -If we have a comma-separated list for which we can align the list
        # items, then we need to do so because otherwise the vertical aligner
        # cannot currently do the alignment.
        #
        # -If this container does itself contain a container which has been
        # broken open, then it should be broken open to properly show the
        # structure.

        # We will not break open the parens of a long but 'simple' logical
        # expression.  For example:
        #
        # This is an example of a simple logical expression and its formatting:
        #
        #     if ( $bigwasteofspace1 && $bigwasteofspace2
        #         || $bigwasteofspace3 && $bigwasteofspace4 )
        #
        # Most people would prefer this than the 'spacey' version:
        #
        #     if (
        #         $bigwasteofspace1 && $bigwasteofspace2
        #         || $bigwasteofspace3 && $bigwasteofspace4
        #     )
        #
        # To illustrate the rules for breaking logical expressions, consider:
        #
        #             FULLY DENSE:
        #             if ( $opt_excl
        #                 and ( exists $ids_excl_uc{$id_uc}
        #                     or grep $id_uc =~ /$_/, @ids_excl_uc ))
        #
        # This is on the verge of being difficult to read.  The current
        # default is to open it up like this:
        #
        #             DEFAULT:
        #             if (
        #                 $opt_excl
        #                 and ( exists $ids_excl_uc{$id_uc}

        #               )
        #
        # This is a compromise which tries to avoid being too dense and to
        # spacey.  A more spaced version would be:
        #
        #             SPACEY:
        #             if (
        #                 $opt_excl
        #                 and (
        #                     exists $ids_excl_uc{$id_uc}
        #                     or grep $id_uc =~ /$_/, @ids_excl_uc
        #                 )
        #               )
        #
        # Some people might prefer the spacey version -- an option could be
        # added.  The innermost expression contains a long block '( exists
        # $ids_...  ')'.
        #
        # Here is how the logic goes: We will force a break at the 'or' that
        # the innermost expression contains, but we will not break apart its
        # opening and closing containers because (1) it contains no
        # multi-line sub-containers itself, and (2) there is no alignment to
        # be gained by breaking it open like this
        #
        #             and (
        #                 exists $ids_excl_uc{$id_uc}

        #
        # (although this looks perfectly ok and might be good for long
        # expressions).  The outer 'if' container, though, contains a broken
        # sub-container, so it will be broken open to avoid too much density.

            # alignment and aligned as follows:

            #    my $w = $columns * $cell_w + ( $columns + 1 ) * $border;

            # This causes unnecessary paren alignment and prevents the
            # third equals from aligning. If we remove the unwanted

            #    my $w   = $columns * $cell_w + ( $columns + 1 ) * $border;

        # This is needed to compensate for a change which was made in 'sub
        # starting_one_line_block' to prevent blinkers.  Previously, that sub
        # would not look at the total block size and rely on sub
        # break_long_lines to break up long blocks. Consequently, the
        # first line of those batches would end in the opening block brace of a
        # sort/map/grep/eval block.  When this was changed to immediately check
        # for blocks which were too long, the opening block brace would go out
        # in a single batch, and the block contents would go out as the next
        # batch.  This caused the logic in this routine which decides if the
        # first line should be padded to be incorrect.  To fix this, we set a
        # flag if the previous batch ended in an opening sort/map/grep/eval
        # block brace, and use it to adjust the logic to compensate.

        # For example, the following would have previously been a single batch
        # but now is two batches.  We want to pad the line starting in '$dir':

    #    | |         ------- $iend
    #    | ------ $ibeg+2
    #    ---- $ibeg

    # NOTES:
    # - This particular list is broken because of the 'q' term in the list
    # - It is extremely rare for this routine to be called for typical code
    #   (I found just two examples in my large collection of test scripts)
    # - This routine is not called for the last line of a batch. This
    #   is not necessary because perltidy will generally put a break
    #   after the opening token in that case.

    # The basic logic is to pad the first blank space $ibeg+1 using the
    # leading spaces that would have been given to token at $ibeg+2 if:
    # - this line begins with an opening token which is
    # - followed by additional tokens on the same line,
    # - and is a list container, and
    # - the line terminates in a comma whose parent is this container,
    # - then pad using the indentation of the second token

    # So in other words, we are simulating doing a line break after the
    # first token and then recombining with a -vt operation. That cannot
    # actually happen for a broken list.

    # Next token must be blank for padding, and must be followed
    # by at least one token and comma
