# === BEFORE YOU START ===
#
# Read the Ruby Hacking Guide chapter 11, available in English at
# http://whitequark.org/blog/2013/04/01/ruby-hacking-guide-ch-11-finite-state-lexer/
#
# Remember two things about Ragel scanners:
#
#   1) Longest match wins.
#
#   2) If two matches have the same length, the first
#      in source code wins.
#
# General rules of making Ragel and Bison happy:
#
#  * `p` (position) and `@te` contain the index of the character
#    they're pointing to ("current"), plus one. `@ts` contains the index
#    of the corresponding character. The code for extracting matched token is:
#
#       @source_buffer.slice(@ts...@te)
#
#  * If your input is `foooooooobar` and the rule is:
#
#       'f' 'o'+
#
#    the result will be:
#
#       foooooooobar
#       ^ ts=0   ^ p=te=9
#
#  * A Ragel lexer action should not emit more than one token, unless
#    you know what you are doing.
#
#  * All Ragel commands (fnext, fgoto, ...) end with a semicolon.
#
#  * If an action emits the token and transitions to another state, use
#    these Ragel commands:
#
#       emit($whatever)
#       fnext $next_state; fbreak;
#
#    If you perform `fgoto` in an action which does not emit a token nor
#    rewinds the stream pointer, the parser's side-effectful,
#    context-sensitive lookahead actions will break in a hard to detect
#    and debug way.
#
#  * If an action does not emit a token:
#
#       fgoto $next_state;
#
#  * If an action features lookbehind, i.e. matches characters with the
#    intent of passing them to another action:
#
#       p = @ts - 1
#       fgoto $next_state;
#
#    or, if the lookbehind consists of a single character:
#
#       fhold; fgoto $next_state;
#
#  * Ragel merges actions. So, if you have `e_lparen = '(' %act` and
#    `c_lparen = '('` and a lexer action `e_lparen | c_lparen`, the result
#    _will_ invoke the action `act`.
#
#    e_something stands for "something with **e**mbedded action".
#
#  * EOF is explicit and is matched by `c_eof`. If you want to introspect
#    the state of the lexer, add this rule to the state:
#
#       c_eof => do_eof;
#
#  * If you proceed past EOF, the lexer will complain:
#
#       NoMethodError: undefined method `ord' for nil:NilClass
#

  # === STRING AND HEREDOC PARSING ===
  #

  # Heredoc parsing is quite a complex topic. First, consider that heredocs
  # can be arbitrarily nested. For example:
  #
  #     puts <<CODE
  #     the result is: #{<<RESULT.inspect
  #       i am a heredoc
  #     RESULT
  #     }
  #     CODE
  #
  # which, incidentally, evaluates to:
  #
  #     the result is: "  i am a heredoc\n"
  #
  # To parse them, lexer refers to two kinds (remember, nested heredocs)
  # of positions in the input stream, namely heredoc_e
  # (HEREDOC declaration End) and @herebody_s (HEREdoc BODY line Start).
  #
  # heredoc_e is simply contained inside the corresponding Literal, and
  # when the heredoc is closed, the lexing is restarted from that position.
  #
  # @herebody_s is quite more complex. First, @herebody_s changes after each
  # heredoc line is lexed. This way, at '\n' tok(@herebody_s, @te) always
  # contains the current line, and also when a heredoc is started, @herebody_s
  # contains the position from which the heredoc will be lexed.
  #
  # Second, as (insanity) there are nested heredocs, we need to maintain a
  # stack of these positions. Each time #push_literal is called, it saves current
  # @heredoc_s to literal.saved_herebody_s, and after an interpolation (possibly
  # containing another heredocs) is closed, the previous value is restored.

  e_heredoc_nl = c_nl % {
    # After every heredoc was parsed, @herebody_s contains the
    # position of next token after all heredocs.

  # to a line of code ending with just a newline, so an inline
  # comment is deemed equivalent to non-newline whitespace
  # (c_space character class).

  # To demonstrate:

  #     foo = <<FOO \
