This newtype allows a caller to prove (using types) that a parser of a given
type (`ParseState`) has been finalized.
This will be used by the lowering pipeline to ensure that all parsers in the
pipeline end up getting finalized (as you can see from a TODO added in the
code, one of them is missing). The lack of such a type was an oversight
during the (rather stressed) development of the parsing system, and I
shouldn't need to resort to unit tests to verify that parsers have been
finalized.

This was accepting an early EOF when the active child `ParseState` was in an
accepting state, because it was not ensuring that anything on the stack was
also accepting.
Ideally, there should be nothing on the stack, and hopefully in the future
that's what happens. But with how things are today, it's important that, if
anything is on the stack, it is accepting.
Since `is_accepting` on the superstate is only called during finalization,
and because the check terminates early, and because the stack practically
speaking will only have a couple things on it max (unless we're in tail
position in a deeply nested tree, without TCO [yet]), this shouldn't be an
expensive check.
Implementing this did require that we expose `Context` to `is_accepting`,
which I had hoped to avoid having to do, but here we are.

This produces useful parse traces that are output as part of a failing test
case. The parser generator macros can be a bit confusing to deal with when
things go wrong, so this helps to clarify matters.
This is _not_ intended to be machine-readable, but it does show that it
would be possible to generate machine-readable output to visualize the
entire lowering pipeline. Perhaps something for the future.
I left these inline in Parser::feed_tok because they help to elucidate what
is going on, just by reading what the trace would output---that is, it helps
to make the method more self-documenting, albeit a tad bit more
verbose. But with that said, it should probably be extracted at some point;
I don't want this to set a precedent where composition is feasible.
Here's an example from test cases:
[Parser::feed_tok] (input IR: XIRF)
| ==> Parser before tok is parsing attributes for `package`.
| | Attrs_(SutAttrsState_ { ___ctx: (QName(None, LocalPart(NCName(SymbolId(46 "package")))), OpenSpan(Span { len: 0, offset: 0, ctx: Context(SymbolId(1 "#!DUMMY")) }, 10)), ___done: false })
|
| ==> XIRF tok: `<unexpected>`
| | Open(QName(None, LocalPart(NCName(SymbolId(82 "unexpected")))), OpenSpan(Span { len: 0, offset: 1, ctx: Context(SymbolId(1 "#!DUMMY")) }, 10), Depth(1))
|

= note: this trace was output as a debugging aid because `cfg(test)`.

This finally uses `parse` all the way up to aggregation into the ASG, as can
be seen by the mess in `poc`. This will be further simplified---I just need
to get this committed so that I can mentally get it off my plate. I've been
separating this commit into smaller commits, but there's a point where it's
just not worth the effort anymore. I don't like making large changes such
as this one.
There is still work to do here. First, it's worth re-mentioning that
`poc` means "proof-of-concept", and represents things that still need a
proper home/abstraction.
Secondly, `poc` is retrieving the context of two parsers---`LowerContext`
and `Asg`. The latter is desirable, since it's the final aggregation point,
but the former needs to be eliminated; in particular, packages need to be
worked into the ASG so that `found` can be removed.
Recursively loading `xmlo` files still happens in `poc`, but the compiler
will need this as well. Once packages are on the ASG, along with their
state, that responsibility can be generalized as well.
That will then simplify lowering even further, to the point where hopefully
everything has the same shape (once final aggregation has an abstraction),
after which we can then create a final abstraction to concisely stitch
everything together. Right now, Rust isn't able to infer `S` for
`Lower<S, LS>`, which is unfortunate, but we'll be able to help it along
with a more explicit abstraction.

This was always the intent, but I didn't have a higher-level object
yet. This removes all the awkwardness that existed with working the root
in as an identifier.
DEV-11864
This wraps `Ident` in a new `Object` variant and modifies `Asg` so that its
nodes are of type `Object`.
This unfortunately requires runtime type checking. Whether or not that's
worth alleviating in the future depends on a lot of different things, since
it'll require my own graph implementation, and I have to focus on other
things right now. Maybe it'll be worth it in the future.
Note that this also gets rid of some doc examples that simply aren't worth
maintaining as the API evolves.
DEV-11864
A previous commit mentioned that there's not a place for `Dim`, and
duplicated it between `asg` and `xmlo`. Well, `Dtype` is also needed in
both, and so here's a home for now.
`Dtype` has always been an inappropriate detail for the system and will one
day be removed entirely in favor of higher-level types; the machine
representation is up to the compiler to decide.
DEV-11864
asg_builder is about to be replaced, but in the process of simplifying the
destination IR (the ASG), I'm moving things into the proper place. This
never belonged here---it belongs with the actual lowering operation.
Previously, this was not reasoned about in terms of a lowering operation,
and was written when I was first introducing myself to Rust and trying to
get a proof-of-concept linker working.
DEV-11864
This matches xmlo::Dim, and could be the same thing, if we can find a home
for it in the future; it's not worth creating such a home right now when I'm
not yet sure what else ought to live there; the duplication may be fine.
The conversion from xmlo needs to be moved, and `Dim` is going to be used
for more than just identifiers (expressions will have type inference
performed).
DEV-11864
Previously, since the graph contained only identifiers, discovered roots
were stored in a separate vector and exposed to the caller. This not only
leaked details, but added complexity; this was left over from the
refactoring of the proof-of-concept linker some time ago.
This moves the root management into the ASG itself, mostly, with one item
being left over for now in the asg_builder (eligibility classifications).
There are two roots that were added automatically:
- __yield
- __worksheet
The former has been removed and is now expected to be explicitly mapped in
the return map, which is now enforced with an extern in `core/base`. This
is still special, in the sense that it is explicitly referenced by the
generated code, but there's nothing inherently special about it and I'll
continue to generalize it into oblivion in the future, such that the final
yield is just a convention.
`__worksheet` is the only symbol of type `IdentKind::Worksheet`, and so that
was generalized just as the meta and map entries were.
The goal in the future will be to have this more under the control of the
source language, and to consolodate individual roots under packages, so that
the _actual_ roots are few.
As far as the actual ASG goes: this introduces a single root node that is
used as the sole reference for reachability analysis and topological
sorting. The edges of that root node replace the vector that was removed.
DEV-11864
In the actual implementation (outside of tests), this is always looking up
before adding the symbol. This will simplify the API, while still retaining
errors, since the identifier will fail the state transition if the
identifier did not exist before attempting to set a fragment. So while this
is slower in microbenchmarks, this has no effect on real-world performance.
Further, I'm refactoring toward a streaming ASG aggregation, which is a lot
easier if we do not need to perform lookups in a separate step from the
ASG's primitives.
DEV-11864
These traits are no longer necessary now that I'm using concrete types; they
just add unnecessary noise and confusion as I attempt to further refactor.
Don't abstract prematurely.
DEV-11864
This removes the generic on the Asg (which was formerly BaseAsg),
hard-coding `IdentObject`, which will further evolve. This makes the IR an
actual concrete IR rather than an abstract data structure.
These tests bring me back a bit, since they were written as I was still
becoming familiar with Rust.
DEV-11864
This is the beginning of an incremental refactoring to remove generics, to
simplify the ASG. When I initially wrote the linker, I wasn't sure what
direction I was going in, but I was also negatively influenced by more
traditional approaches to both design and unit testing.
If we're going to call the ASG an IR, then it needs to be one---if the core
of the IR is generic, then it's more like an abstract data structure than
anything. We can abstract around the IR to slice it up into components that
are a little easier to reason about and understand how responsibilities are
segregated.

RSG (Ryan Specialty Group) recently announced a rename to Ryan Specialty (no
"Group"), but I'm not sure if the legal name has been changed yet or not, so
I'll wait on that.
This replaces u8 and will be used for the new XmloReader.
Previously I wasn't sure what direction TAMER was going to go in with
regards to dimensionality, but I do not expect that higher dimensions will
be supported, and if they are, they'd very likely compile down to lower ones
and create an illusion of higher-dimensionality.
Whatever the future holds, it's not used today, and I'd rather these types
be correct.
ASG needs changing too, but one step at a time.
DEV-10863
This is simply not worth it; the size is not going to be the bottleneck (at
least any time soon) and the generic not only pollutes all the things that
will use ASG in the near future, but is also incompatible with the SymbolId
default that is used everywhere; if we have to force it to 32 bits anyway,
then we may as well just default it right off the bat.
I thought that this seemed like a good idea at the time, and saving bits is
certainly tempting, but it was premature.
See the previous commit. There is no sense in some common "IR" namespace,
since those IRs should live close to whatever system whose data they
represent.
In the case of these, they are general IRs that can apply to many different
parts of the system. If that proves to be a false statement, they'll be
moved.
