This includes when on the last state / expecting a close.
Previously, there were a couple major issues:
1. After parsing an NT, we can't allow preemption because we must emit a
dead state so that we can remove the NT from the stack, otherwise
they'll never close (until the parent does) and that results in
unbounded stack growth for a lot of siblings. Therefore, we cannot
preempt on `Text`, which causes the NT to receive it, emit a dead
state, transition away from the NT, and not accept another NT of the
same type after `Text`.
2. When encountering an unknown element, the error message stated that a
closing tag was expected rather than one of the elements accepted by the
final NT.
For #1, this was solved by allowing the parent to transition back to the NT
if it would have been matched by the previous NT. A future change may
therefore allow us to remove repetition handling entirely and allow the
parent to deal with it (maybe).
For #2, the trouble is with the parser generator macro---we don't have a
good way of knowing the last NT, and the last NT may not even exist if none
was provided. This solution is a compromise, after having tried and failed
at many others; I desperately need to move on, and this results in the
correct behavior and doesn't sacrifice performance. But it can be done
better in the future.
It's also worth noting for #2 that the behavior isn't _entirely_ desirable,
but in practice it is mostly correct. Specifically, if we encounter an
unknown token, we're going to blow through all NTs until the last one, which
will be forced to handle it. After that, we cannot return to a previous NT,
and so we've forefitted the ability to parse anything that came before it.
NIR's grammar is such that sequences are rare and, if present, there's
really only ever two NTs, and so this awkward behavior will rarely cause
practical issues. With that said, it ought to be improved in the future,
but let's wait to see if other parts of the lowering pipeline provide more
appropriate places to handle some of these things (even though it really
ought to be handled at the grammar level).
But I'm well out of time to spend on this. I have to move on.

TAME
TAME is The Algebraic Metalanguage, a programming language and system of tools designed to aid in the development, understanding, and maintenance of systems performing numerous calculations on a complex graph of dependencies, conditions, and a large number of inputs.
This system was developed at Ryan Specialty Group (formerly LoVullo Associates) to handle the complexity of comparative insurance rating systems. It is a domain-specific language (DSL) that itself encourages, through the use of templates, the creation of sub-DSLs. TAME itself is at heart a calculator—processing only numerical input and output—driven by quantifiers as predicates. Calculations and quantifiers are written declaratively without concern for order of execution.
The system has powerful dependency resolution and data flow capabilities.
TAME consists of a macro processor (implementing a metalanguage), numerous compilers for various targets (JavaScript, HTML documentation and debugging environment, LaTeX, and others), linkers, and supporting tools. The input grammar is XML, and the majority of the project (including the macro processor, compilers, and linkers) is written in a combination of XSLT and Rust.
TAMER
Due to performance requirements, this project is currently being reimplemented in Rust. That project can be found in the tamer/ directory.
Documentation
Compiled documentation for the latest release is available via our GitLab mirror, which uses the same build pipeline as we do on our internal GitLab instance. Available formats are:
Getting Started
To get started, make sure Saxon version 9 or later is available and its path
set as SAXON_CP; that the path to hoxsl is set via HOXSL; and then run
the bootstrap script:
$ export SAXON_CP=/path/to/saxon9he.jar
$ export HOXSL=/path/to/hoxsl/root
$ ./boostrap
Running Test Cases
To run the test cases, invoke make check (or its alias, make test).
Testing Core Features
In order to run tests located at core/test/core/**, a supporting environment
is required. (e.g. mega rater). Inside a supporting rater, either check out a
submodule containing the core tests, or temporarily add them into the
submodule.
Build the core test suite summary page using:
$ make rater/core/test/core/suite.html
Visit the summary page in a web browser and click the Calculate Premium button. If all test cases pass, it will yield a value of $1.
