;;; Commentary:

;; This package allows you to write regular expressions using a
;; totally new, Lisp-like syntax.

;; A "symbolic regular expression" (sregex for short) is a Lisp form
;; that, when evaluated, produces the string form of the specified
;; regular expression.  Here's a simple example:

;;   (sregexq (or "Bob" "Robert"))  =>  "Bob\\|Robert"

;; As you can see, an sregex is specified by placing one or more
;; special clauses in a call to `sregexq'.  The clause in this case is
;; the `or' of two strings (not to be confused with the Lisp function
;; `or').  The list of allowable clauses appears below.

;; With sregex, it is never necessary to "escape" magic characters
;; that are meant to be taken literally; that happens automatically.
;; For example:

;;   (sregexq "M*A*S*H")  =>  "M\\*A\\*S\\*H"

;; It is also unnecessary to "group" parts of the expression together
;; to overcome operator precedence; that also happens automatically.
;; For example:

;;   (sregexq (opt (or "Bob" "Robert")))  =>  "\\(?:Bob\\|Robert\\)?"

;; It *is* possible to group parts of the expression in order to refer
;; to them with numbered backreferences:

;;   (sregexq (group (or "Go" "Run"))
;;            ", Spot, "
;;            (backref 1))             =>  "\\(Go\\|Run\\), Spot, \\1"

;; `sregexq' is a macro.  Each time it is used, it constructs a simple
;; Lisp expression that then invokes a moderately complex engine to
;; interpret the sregex and render the string form.  Because of this,
;; I don't recommend sprinkling calls to `sregexq' throughout your
;; code, the way one normally does with string regexes (which are
;; cheap to evaluate).  Instead, it's wiser to precompute the regexes
;; you need wherever possible instead of repeatedly constructing the
;; same ones over and over.  Example:

;;    (let ((field-regex (sregexq (opt "resent-")
;;                                (or "to" "cc" "bcc"))))
;;      ...
;;      (while ...
;;        ...
;;        (re-search-forward field-regex ...)
;;        ...))

;; The arguments to `sregexq' are automatically quoted, but the
;; flipside of this is that it is not straightforward to include
;; computed (i.e., non-constant) values in `sregexq' expressions.  So
;; `sregex' is a function that is like `sregexq' but which does not
;; automatically quote its values.  Literal sregex clauses must be
;; explicitly quoted like so:

;;   (sregex '(or "Bob" "Robert"))  =>  "Bob\\|Robert"

;; but computed clauses can be included easily, allowing for the reuse
;; of common clauses:

;;  (let ((dotstar '(0+ any))
;;        (whitespace '(1+ (syntax ?-)))
;;        (digits '(1+ (char (?0 . ?9)))))
;;    (sregex 'bol dotstar ":" whitespace digits))  =>  "^.*:\\s-+[0-9]+"

;; To use this package in a Lisp program, simply (require 'sregex).

;; Here are the clauses allowed in an `sregex' or `sregexq'
;; expression:

;; - a string
;;   This stands for the literal string.  If it contains
;;   metacharacters, they will be escaped in the resulting regex
;;   (using `regexp-quote').

;; - the symbol `any'
;;   This stands for ".", a regex matching any character except
;;   newline.

;; - the symbol `bol'
;;   Stands for "^", matching the empty string at the beginning of a line

;; - the symbol `eol'
;;   Stands for "$", matching the empty string at the end of a line

;; - (group CLAUSE ...)
;;   Groups the given CLAUSEs using "\\(" and "\\)".

;; - (sequence CLAUSE ...)

;;   Groups the given CLAUSEs; may or may not use "\\(?:" and "\\)".
;;   Clauses grouped by `sequence' do not count for purposes of
;;   numbering backreferences.  Use `sequence' in situations like
;;   this:

;;     (sregexq (or "dog" "cat"
;;                  (sequence (opt "sea ") "monkey")))
;;                                  =>  "dog\\|cat\\|\\(?:sea \\)?monkey"

;;   where a single `or' alternate needs to contain multiple
;;   subclauses.

;; - (backref N)
;;   Matches the same string previously matched by the Nth "group" in
;;   the same sregex.  N is a positive integer.

;; - (or CLAUSE ...)
;;   Matches any one of the CLAUSEs by separating them with "\\|".

;; - (0+ CLAUSE ...)
;;   Concatenates the given CLAUSEs and matches zero or more
;;   occurrences by appending "*".

;; - (1+ CLAUSE ...)
;;   Concatenates the given CLAUSEs and matches one or more
;;   occurrences by appending "+".

;; - (opt CLAUSE ...)
;;   Concatenates the given CLAUSEs and matches zero or one occurrence
;;   by appending "?".

;; - (repeat MIN MAX CLAUSE ...)
;;   Concatenates the given CLAUSEs and constructs a regex matching at
;;   least MIN occurrences and at most MAX occurrences.  MIN must be a
;;   non-negative integer.  MAX must be a non-negative integer greater
;;   than or equal to MIN; or MAX can be nil to mean "infinity."

;; - (char CHAR-CLAUSE ...)
;;   Creates a "character class" matching one character from the given
;;   set.  See below for how to construct a CHAR-CLAUSE.

;; - (not-char CHAR-CLAUSE ...)
;;   Creates a "character class" matching any one character not in the
;;   given set.  See below for how to construct a CHAR-CLAUSE.

;; - the symbol `bot'
;;   Stands for "\\`", matching the empty string at the beginning of
;;   text (beginning of a string or of a buffer).

;; - the symbol `eot'
;;   Stands for "\\'", matching the empty string at the end of text.

;; - the symbol `point'
;;   Stands for "\\=", matching the empty string at point.

;; - the symbol `word-boundary'
;;   Stands for "\\b", matching the empty string at the beginning or
;;   end of a word.

;; - the symbol `not-word-boundary'
;;   Stands for "\\B", matching the empty string not at the beginning
;;   or end of a word.

;; - the symbol `bow'
;;   Stands for "\\<", matching the empty string at the beginning of a
;;   word.

;; - the symbol `eow'
;;   Stands for "\\>", matching the empty string at the end of a word.

;; - the symbol `wordchar'
;;   Stands for the regex "\\w", matching a word-constituent character
;;   (as determined by the current syntax table)

;; - the symbol `not-wordchar'
;;   Stands for the regex "\\W", matching a non-word-constituent
;;   character.

;; - (syntax CODE)
;;   Stands for the regex "\\sCODE", where CODE is a syntax table code
;;   (a single character).  Matches any character with the requested
;;   syntax.

;; - (not-syntax CODE)
;;   Stands for the regex "\\SCODE", where CODE is a syntax table code
;;   (a single character).  Matches any character without the
;;   requested syntax.

;; - (regex REGEX)
;;   This is a "trapdoor" for including ordinary regular expression
;;   strings in the result.  Some regular expressions are clearer when
;;   written the old way: "[a-z]" vs. (sregexq (char (?a . ?z))), for
;;   instance.  However, see the note under "Bugs," below.

;; Each CHAR-CLAUSE that is passed to (char ...) and (not-char ...)
;; has one of the following forms:

;; - a character
;;   Adds that character to the set.

;; - a string
;;   Adds all the characters in the string to the set.

;; - A pair (MIN . MAX)
;;   Where MIN and MAX are characters, adds the range of characters
;;   from MIN through MAX to the set.

;;; To do:

;; An earlier version of this package could optionally translate the
;; symbolic regex into other languages' syntaxes, e.g. Perl.  For
;; instance, with Perl syntax selected, (sregexq (or "ab" "cd")) would
;; yield "ab|cd" instead of "ab\\|cd".  It might be useful to restore
;; such a facility.

;; - handle multibyte chars in sregex--char-aux
;; - add support for character classes ([:blank:], ...)
;; - add support for non-greedy operators *? and +?
;; - bug: (sregexq (opt (opt ?a))) returns "a??" which is a non-greedy "a?"

(defun sregex (&rest exps)
  "Symbolic regular expression interpreter.
This is exactly like `sregexq' (q.v.) except that it evaluates all its
arguments, so literal sregex clauses must be quoted.  For example:

  (sregex '(or \"Bob\" \"Robert\"))  =>  \"Bob\\\\|Robert\"

An argument-evaluating sregex interpreter lets you reuse sregex
subexpressions:

  (let ((dotstar '(0+ any))
        (whitespace '(1+ (syntax ?-)))
        (digits '(1+ (char (?0 . ?9)))))
    (sregex 'bol dotstar \":\" whitespace digits))  =>  \"^.*:\\\\s-+[0-9]+\""
  (sregex--sequence exps nil))

(defmacro sregexq (&rest exps)
  "Symbolic regular expression interpreter.
This macro allows you to specify a regular expression (regexp) in
symbolic form, and converts it into the string form required by Emacs's
regex functions such as `re-search-forward' and `looking-at'.  Here is
a simple example:

  (sregexq (or \"Bob\" \"Robert\"))  =>  \"Bob\\\\|Robert\"

As you can see, an sregex is specified by placing one or more special
clauses in a call to `sregexq'.  The clause in this case is the `or'
of two strings (not to be confused with the Lisp function `or').  The
list of allowable clauses appears below.

With `sregex', it is never necessary to \"escape\" magic characters
that are meant to be taken literally; that happens automatically.
For example:

  (sregexq \"M*A*S*H\")  =>  \"M\\\\*A\\\\*S\\\\*H\"

It is also unnecessary to \"group\" parts of the expression together
to overcome operator precedence; that also happens automatically.
For example:

  (sregexq (opt (or \"Bob\" \"Robert\")))  =>  \"\\\\(Bob\\\\|Robert\\\\)?\"

It *is* possible to group parts of the expression in order to refer
to them with numbered backreferences:

  (sregexq (group (or \"Go\" \"Run\"))
           \", Spot, \"
           (backref 1))             =>  \"\\\\(Go\\\\|Run\\\\), Spot, \\\\1\"

If `sregexq' needs to introduce its own grouping parentheses, it will
automatically renumber your backreferences:

  (sregexq (opt \"resent-\")
           (group (or \"to\" \"cc\" \"bcc\"))
           \": \"
           (backref 1))  =>  \"\\\\(resent-\\\\)?\\\\(to\\\\|cc\\\\|bcc\\\\): \\\\2\"

`sregexq' is a macro.  Each time it is used, it constructs a simple
Lisp expression that then invokes a moderately complex engine to
interpret the sregex and render the string form.  Because of this, I
don't recommend sprinkling calls to `sregexq' throughout your code,
the way one normally does with string regexes (which are cheap to
evaluate).  Instead, it's wiser to precompute the regexes you need
wherever possible instead of repeatedly constructing the same ones
over and over.  Example:

   (let ((field-regex (sregexq (opt \"resent-\")
                               (or \"to\" \"cc\" \"bcc\"))))
     ...
     (while ...
       ...
       (re-search-forward field-regex ...)
       ...))

The arguments to `sregexq' are automatically quoted, but the
flipside of this is that it is not straightforward to include
computed (i.e., non-constant) values in `sregexq' expressions.  So
`sregex' is a function that is like `sregexq' but which does not
automatically quote its values.  Literal sregex clauses must be
explicitly quoted like so:

  (sregex '(or \"Bob\" \"Robert\"))  =>  \"Bob\\\\|Robert\"

but computed clauses can be included easily, allowing for the reuse
of common clauses:

  (let ((dotstar '(0+ any))
        (whitespace '(1+ (syntax ?-)))
        (digits '(1+ (char (?0 . ?9)))))
    (sregex 'bol dotstar \":\" whitespace digits))  =>  \"^.*:\\\\s-+[0-9]+\"

Here are the clauses allowed in an `sregex' or `sregexq' expression:

- a string
  This stands for the literal string.  If it contains
  metacharacters, they will be escaped in the resulting regex
  (using `regexp-quote').

  This stands for \".\", a regex matching any character except
  newline.

  Stands for \"$\", matching the empty string at the end of a line

- (group CLAUSE ...)
  Groups the given CLAUSEs using \"\\\\(\" and \"\\\\)\".

- (sequence CLAUSE ...)

  Groups the given CLAUSEs; may or may not use \"\\\\(\" and \"\\\\)\".

                                 =>  \"dog\\\\|cat\\\\|\\\\(?:sea \\\\)?monkey\"

  where a single `or' alternate needs to contain multiple
  subclauses.

- (backref N)
  Matches the same string previously matched by the Nth \"group\" in
  the same sregex.  N is a positive integer.
