//! Iterators for common problems.
//!
//! TAMER makes heavy use of iterators for data streams and lowering
//! operations.
//!
//! [`Result`] Iterators
//! ====================
//! Iterators that can fail,
//! such as XIR's
//! [`TokenResultStream`](crate::xir::TokenResultStream),
//! can be confounding and difficult to work with because
//! [`Iterator::next`] wraps the [`Result`] within an [`Option`].
//! Further,
//! if we were to directly pipe the results of one iterator to another,
//! then downstream iterators would have to worry about handling failures
//! of their source iterators just for the sake of propagation,
//! forcing them to accept a [`Result`] iterator rather than an
//! iterator producing the inner type that they are interested in.
//!
//! [`ResultIterator`] exists to slightly reduce cognitive load in code with
//! complex types;
//! it's simply an alias for `Iterator- >`.
//!
//! Managing Failures
//! -----------------
//! The [`TripIter`] iterator helps to simplify APIs and provides the
//! opportunity for error correction by yielding the inner value of [`Ok`]
//! on an underlying iterator,
//! tripping if it encounters an [`Err`].
//! This is analogous to a circuit breaker,
//! protecting downstream subsystems from faulty data.
//!
//! When a trip happens,
//! the [`TripIter`] yields [`None`].
//! Downstream systems must determine for themselves whether receiving
//! [`None`] should constitute an error,
//! or whether they should wait around until the iterator can be resumed
//! to continue processing.
//!
//! Put simply: we take an `Iterator
- ` and produce an
//! `Iterator
- `,
//! so that consumers of `T` needn't know or care that we could fail to
//! produce a `T`.
//!
//! This iterator is constructed using either [`with_iter_while_ok`] or
//! [`into_iter_while_ok`],
//! depending on whether ownership of the source iterator needs to be
//! retained.
//! The [`TrippableIterator`] trait also provides convenient methods
//! directly on compatible [`Iterator`]s.
//! Each of those functions provide their own minimal examples,
//! one of which is reproduced here:
//!
//! ```
//! use tamer::iter::TrippableIterator;
//!
//! let mut values = [Ok(0), Err("trip"), Ok(1)].into_iter();
//!
//! let result = values.while_ok(|iter| {
//! // First is `Ok`, so it yields. Note that the value is no longer
//! // `Ok`, which liberates our system from handling others' errors.
//! assert_eq!(Some(0), iter.next());
//! assert!(!iter.is_tripped());
//!
//! // But the next is an `Err`, so it trips and returns `None`
//! // from that point onward.
//! assert_eq!(None, iter.next());
//! assert_eq!(None, iter.next());
//! assert!(iter.is_tripped());
//!
//! Ok(())
//! });
//!
//! // The error that caused the trip is returned.
//! assert_eq!(Err("trip"), result);
//!
//! // We still have access to the iterator where it left off.
//! assert_eq!(Some(Ok(1)), values.next());
//! ```
//!
//! Each of these functions take a callback;
//! the [`TripIter`] is valid only for the duration of that function.
//! This allows us to know when the caller is finished with the iterator so
//! that we can determine whether it tripped and,
//! if so,
//! yield the associated [`Result`] to force the caller to consider what
//! happened.
//! This allows for out-of-band error processing---we
//! still get to handle and propagate the error,
//! but alleviate the system using [`TripIter`] from having to know that
//! source failures were even possible.
//!
//! Alternative Failure Modes
//! -------------------------
//! [`TripIter`] is only needed for high-performance lazy processing of data
//! streams where error recovery may be needed.
//! If that's not your case,
//! Rust has built-in features that may suit your needs.
//!
//! For example,
//! if you wish to collect iterator results but yield an [`Err`] if any of
//! those fail,
//! you can use [`Iterator::collect`]:
//!
//! ```
//! // Contains an `Err`, and so fails.
//! let values = [Ok(1), Err("bad")].into_iter();
//! assert_eq!(Err("bad"), values.collect::, _>>());
//!
//! // All values are `Ok`.
//! let values = [Ok(1), Ok(2)].into_iter();
//! assert_eq!(Ok(vec![1, 2]), values.collect::, ()>>());
//! ```
//!
//! But this allocates data on the heap,
//! which is unacceptable for stream processing.
//!
//! Another option is to halt at the fist sign of trouble:
//!
//! ```
//! let values = [Ok(1), Ok(2), Err("bad")].into_iter();
//!
//! // Grab everything up to the first error.
//! assert_eq!(vec![1, 2], values.map_while(Result::ok).collect::>());
//! ```
//!
//! Similar can be done with [`Iterator::take_while`].
//! But this places the responsibility of doing the right thing on the caller,
//! and can generate unwieldy types that are difficult to store in structs
//! (e.g. closure types that cannot be written out)
//! without resorting to boxing,
//! even with Rust's `impl Trait` feature.
//!
//! There are other options,
//! but they also result in boilerplate that is handled for you by
//! [`TripIter`].
//!
//!
//! Failliable Collecting
//! =====================
//! [`Iterator::collect`] provides a powerful interface that can remove a
//! lot of boilerplate or manual composition,
//! but is not designed to handle failures.
//! This becomes problematic when attempting to encapsulate failure logic
//! within [`FromIterator`] implementations because of foreign traits.
//! [`TryFromIterator`] provides a [`Result`] return type for the collection
//! itself.
//!
//! This is useful when an object aggregates data from an iterator in an
//! all-or-nothing manner,
//! or wishes to reject data it does not support.
//!
//! Consider this example where we have a set attributes from which we wish
//! to generate a `Variable` object consisting of a name and value.
//! This object expects both of these attributes to be present,
//! and further expects that no other attributes will be provided.
//! This effectively defines a basic schema.
//!
//! ```
//! use tamer::iter::{TryCollect, TryFromIterator};
//! use tamer::sym::{GlobalSymbolIntern, SymbolId};
//! use tamer::sym::st::raw::{L_NAME, L_VALUE};
//!
//! struct Attr(SymbolId, SymbolId);
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
//! struct Variable {
//! name: SymbolId,
//! value: SymbolId,
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
//! enum VariableError {
//! UnknownAttr(SymbolId),
//! MissingName,
//! MissingValue,
//! }
//!
//! impl TryFromIterator for Variable {
//! type Error = VariableError;
//!
//! fn try_from_iter>(
//! iter: I,
//! ) -> Result {
//! let mut name = None;
//! let mut value = None;
//!
//! for Attr(attr_name, attr_value) in iter.into_iter() {
//! match attr_name {
//! L_NAME => { name.replace(attr_value); },
//! L_VALUE => { value.replace(attr_value); },
//! _ => return Err(VariableError::UnknownAttr(attr_name)),
//! }
//! }
//!
//! Ok(Variable {
//! name: name.ok_or(VariableError::MissingName)?,
//! value: value.ok_or(VariableError::MissingValue)?,
//! })
//! }
//! }
//!
//! let name = "foo".intern();
//! let value = "bar".intern();
//!
//! assert_eq!(
//! Ok(Variable { name, value }),
//! vec![Attr(L_NAME, name), Attr(L_VALUE, value)].into_iter().try_collect(),
//! );
//!
//! assert_eq!(
//! Err(VariableError::MissingName),
//! vec![Attr(L_VALUE, value)].into_iter().try_collect::(),
//! );
//! ```
//!
//! This cannot be done with [`FromIterator`] because it would require
//! `impl FromIterator for Result`,
//! both of which are foreign traits.
//! Perhaps this restriction will be relaxed in Rust in the future,
//! rendering [`TryFromIterator`] obsolete.
//!
//! [`TryFromIterator`] is implemented for all [`FromIterator`],
//! allowing [`try_collect`] to accept all types that [`collect`] accepts.
//! Type inference maintains the powerful sentient illusion that [`collect`]
//! provides:
//!
//! ```
//! use tamer::iter::TryCollect;
//!
//! // Wraps `Iterator::collect`.
//! assert_eq!(
//! Ok(Some(vec![1, 2, 3])),
//! vec![Some(1), Some(2), Some(3)].into_iter().try_collect()
//! );
//!
//! // Does _not_ unwrap `Result` from `Iterator::collect`.
//! assert_eq!(
//! Ok(Err("fail")),
//! vec![Ok(1), Err("fail")].into_iter().try_collect::, _>>()
//! );
//! ```
//!
//! Notably, [`try_collect`] _does not_ unwrap [`Result`] from [`collect`].
//! This makes sense from a type perspective,
//! but may seem unintuitive at a glance.
//!
//! If the source iterator yields [`Result`](Result),
//! but the [`TryFromIterator`] expects `T`,
//! see [`TryCollect::try_collect_ok`].
//!
//! [`try_collect`]: TryCollect::try_collect
//! [`collect`]: Iterator::collect
