// Package reader provides a buffered Reader that wraps around an io.Reader. // // Functionally, it provides an input buffer in the form of a sliding window. // Let's say we've got the following input coming up in the io.Reader that is // wrapped by the Reader: // // |H|e|l|l|o|,| |w|o|r|l|d|!| <-- runes // 0 6 12 <-- rune offset // // The Reader can now be used to retrieve runes from the input, based on their // offset, using RuneAt(offset). Normally these runes will be retrieved in // sequence, but that is not a requirement. Let's say we retrieve the rune with // offset 6 from the input (the 'w'), then the Reader buffer be filled with runes // from the io.Reader until there are enough runes available to return the rune // for offset 6: // // |H|e|l|l|o| |w| // 0 6 // // Using RuneAt, you can retrieve arbitrary runes. If you request one that is // in the Reader buffer, then the buffered rune is returned. If you request one // that is not in the buffer, then the buffer will be expanded. // // To make this into a sliding window, the Reader provides the method // Flush(numberOfRunes). This method will drop the provided number of runes from // the Reader buffer. So when we'd do a Flush(3) on the example buffer from above, // then the Reader buffer would become: // // |l|o| |w| // 0 3 // // Note that the offset for the first rune 'l' in the buffer is now 0. // You can consider the input to be changed in a similar way: // // |l|o|,| |w|o|r|l|d|!| // 0 6 9 // // So after a flush, the first upcoming rune after the flushed runes // will always have index 0. package reader import ( "bufio" "fmt" "io" "strings" "unicode/utf8" ) // Reader wraps around a bufio.Reader and provides an additional layer of // buffering that allows us to read the same runes over and over again. // This is useful for implementing a parser that must be able to do lookahead // on the input, returning to the original input position after finishing // that lookahead). // // To minimze memory use, it is also possible to flush the read buffer when there is // no more need to go back to previously read runes. // // The parserkit.reader.Reader is used internally by parsekit.TokenAPI. type Reader struct { bufio *bufio.Reader // Used for ReadRune() buffer []rune // Input buffer, holding runes that were read from input bufferOffset int // The offset of the buffer, relative to the start of the input bufferLen int // Input size, the number of runes in the buffer } // New initializes a new reader struct, wrapped around the provided input. // // The input can be any one of the following types: // - string // - type implementing io.Reader // - bufio.Reader func New(input interface{}) *Reader { return &Reader{ bufio: makeBufioReader(input), buffer: []rune{}, } } func makeBufioReader(input interface{}) *bufio.Reader { switch input := input.(type) { case bufio.Reader: return &input case *bufio.Reader: return input case io.Reader: return bufio.NewReader(input) case string: return bufio.NewReader(strings.NewReader(input)) default: panic(fmt.Sprintf("parsekit.reader.New(): no support for input of type %T", input)) } } // RuneAt reads the rune at the provided rune offset. // // This offset is relative to the current starting position of the buffer in // the reader.
