Mike Gerwitz fbf786086a tamer: parse::Parser (lower_while_ok): New method 
This introduces a WIP lowering operation, abstracting away quite a bit of
the manual wiring work, which is really important to providing an API that
provides the proper level of abstraction for actually understanding what the
system is doing.

This does not yet have tests associated with it---I had started, but it's a
lot of work and boilerplate for something that is going to
evolve.  Generally, I wouldn't use that as an excuse, but the robust type
definitions in play, combined with the tiny amount of actual logic, provide
a pretty high level of confidence.  It's very difficult to wire these types
together and produce something incorrect without doing something obviously
bad.

Similarly, I'm holding off on proper docs too, though I did write some
information here.

More to come, after I actually get to work on the XmloReader.

On a side note: I'm happy to have made progress on this, since this wiring
is something I've been dreading and wondering about since before the Parser
abstraction even existed.

Note also that this makes parser::feed_toks private again---I don't intend
to support push parsers yet, since they're only needed internally.  Maybe
for error recovery, but I'll wait to decide until it's actually needed.

TAME in Rust (TAMER)

TAME was written to help tame the complexity of developing comparative insurance rating systems. This project aims to tame the complexity and performance issues of TAME itself. TAMER is therefore more tame than TAME.

TAME was originally written in XSLT. For more information about the project, see the parent README.md.

Building

To bootstrap from the source repository, run ./bootstrap.

To configure the build for your system, run ./configure. To build, run make. To run tests, run make check.

You may also invoke cargo directly, which make will do for you using options provided to configure.

Note that the default development build results in terrible runtime performance! See [#Build Flags][] below for instructions on how to generate a release binary.

Build Flags

The environment variable CARGO_BUILD_FLAGS can be used to provide additional arguments to cargo build when invoked via make. This can be provided optionally during configure and can be overridden when invoking make. For example:

# release build
$ ./configure && make CARGO_BUILD_FLAGS=--release
$ ./configure CARGO_BUILD_FLAGS=--release && make

# dev build
$ ./configure && make
$ ./configure CARGO_BUILD_FLAGS=--release && make CARGO_BUILD_FLAGS=

Hacking

This section contains advice for those developing TAMER.

Running Tests

Developers should be using test-driven development (TDD). make check will run all necessary tests.

Code Format

Rust provides rustfmt that can automatically format code for you. This project mandates its use and therefore eliminates personal preference in code style (for better or worse).

Formatting checks are run during make check and, on failure, will output the diff that would be applied if you ran make fmt (or make fix); this will run cargo fmt for you (and will use the binaries configured via configure).

Since developers should be doing test-driven development (TDD) and therefore should be running make check frequently, the hope is that frequent feedback on formatting issues will allow developers to quickly adjust their habits to avoid triggering formatting errors at all.

If you want to automatically fix formatting errors and then run tests:

$ make fmt check

Benchmarking

Benchmarks serve two purposes: external integration tests (which are subject to module visibility constraints) and actual benchmarking. To run benchmarks, invoke make bench.

Note that link-time optimizations (LTO) are performed on the binary for benchmarking so that its performance reflects release builds that will be used in production.

The configure script will automatically detect whether the test feature is unstable (as it was as of the time of writing) and, if so, will automatically fall back to invoking nightly (by running cargo +nightly bench).

If you do not have nightly, run you install it via rustup install nightly.
