/*!
Provides types for dealing with capturing groups.

Capturing groups refer to sub-patterns of regexes that some regex engines can
report matching offsets for. For example, matching `[a-z]([0-9]+)` against
`a789` would give `a789` as the overall match (for the implicit capturing group
at index `0`) and `789` as the match for the capturing group `([0-9]+)` (an
explicit capturing group at index `1`).

Not all regex engines can report match offsets for capturing groups. Indeed,
to a first approximation, regex engines that can report capturing group offsets
tend to be quite a bit slower than regex engines that can't. This is because
tracking capturing groups at search time usually requires more "power" that
in turn adds overhead.

Other regex implementations might call capturing groups "submatches."

# Overview

The main types in this module are:

* [`Captures`] records the capturing group offsets found during a search. It
provides convenience routines for looking up capturing group offsets by either
index or name.
* [`GroupInfo`] records the mapping between capturing groups and "slots,"
where the latter are how capturing groups are recorded during a regex search.
This also keeps a mapping from capturing group name to index, and capture
group index to name. A `GroupInfo` is used by `Captures` internally to
provide a convenient API. It is unlikely that you'll use a `GroupInfo`
directly, but for example, if you've compiled an Thompson NFA, then you can use
[`thompson::NFA::group_info`](crate::nfa::thompson::NFA::group_info) to get its
underlying `GroupInfo`.

    interpolate,

        NonMaxUsize, PatternID, PatternIDError, PatternIDIter, SmallIndex,

    search::{Match, Span},
};

/// The span offsets of capturing groups after a match has been found.
///
/// This type represents the output of regex engines that can report the
/// offsets at which capturing groups matches or "submatches" occur. For
/// example, the [`PikeVM`](crate::nfa::thompson::pikevm::PikeVM). When a match
/// occurs, it will at minimum contain the [`PatternID`] of the pattern that
/// matched. Depending upon how it was constructed, it may also contain the
/// start/end offsets of the entire match of the pattern and the start/end
/// offsets of each capturing group that participated in the match.
///
/// Values of this type are always created for a specific [`GroupInfo`]. It is
/// unspecified behavior to use a `Captures` value in a search with any regex
/// engine that has a different `GroupInfo` than the one the `Captures` were
/// created with.
///
/// # Constructors
///
/// There are three constructors for this type that control what kind of
/// information is available upon a match:
///
/// * [`Captures::all`]: Will store overall pattern match offsets in addition
/// to the offsets of capturing groups that participated in the match.
/// * [`Captures::matches`]: Will store only the overall pattern
/// match offsets. The offsets of capturing groups (even ones that participated
/// in the match) are not available.
/// * [`Captures::empty`]: Will only store the pattern ID that matched. No
/// match offsets are available at all.
///
/// If you aren't sure which to choose, then pick the first one. The first one
/// is what convenience routines like,
/// [`PikeVM::create_captures`](crate::nfa::thompson::pikevm::PikeVM::create_captures),
/// will use automatically.
///
/// The main difference between these choices is performance. Namely, if you
/// ask for _less_ information, then the execution of regex search may be able
/// to run more quickly.
///
/// # Notes
///
/// It is worth pointing out that this type is not coupled to any one specific
/// regex engine. Instead, its coupling is with [`GroupInfo`], which is the
/// thing that is responsible for mapping capturing groups to "slot" offsets.
/// Slot offsets are indices into a single sequence of memory at which matching
/// haystack offsets for the corresponding group are written by regex engines.
///
/// # Example
///
/// This example shows how to parse a simple date and extract the components of
/// the date via capturing groups:
///
/// ```
/// use regex_automata::{nfa::thompson::pikevm::PikeVM, Span};
///
/// let re = PikeVM::new(r"^([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})$")?;
/// let (mut cache, mut caps) = (re.create_cache(), re.create_captures());
///
/// re.captures(&mut cache, "2010-03-14", &mut caps);
/// assert!(caps.is_match());
/// assert_eq!(Some(Span::from(0..4)), caps.get_group(1));
/// assert_eq!(Some(Span::from(5..7)), caps.get_group(2));
/// assert_eq!(Some(Span::from(8..10)), caps.get_group(3));
///
/// # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
/// ```
///
/// # Example: named capturing groups
///
/// This example is like the one above, but leverages the ability to name
/// capturing groups in order to make the code a bit clearer:
///
/// ```
/// use regex_automata::{nfa::thompson::pikevm::PikeVM, Span};
///
/// let re = PikeVM::new(r"^(?P<y>[0-9]{4})-(?P<m>[0-9]{2})-(?P<d>[0-9]{2})$")?;
/// let (mut cache, mut caps) = (re.create_cache(), re.create_captures());
///
/// re.captures(&mut cache, "2010-03-14", &mut caps);
/// assert!(caps.is_match());
/// assert_eq!(Some(Span::from(0..4)), caps.get_group_by_name("y"));
/// assert_eq!(Some(Span::from(5..7)), caps.get_group_by_name("m"));
/// assert_eq!(Some(Span::from(8..10)), caps.get_group_by_name("d"));
///
/// # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
/// ```

pub struct Captures {
    /// The group info that these capture groups are coupled to. This is what
    /// gives the "convenience" of the `Captures` API. Namely, it provides the
    /// slot mapping and the name|-->index mapping for capture lookups by name.
    group_info: GroupInfo,
    /// The ID of the pattern that matched. Regex engines must set this to
    /// None when no match occurs.
    pid: Option<PatternID>,
    /// The slot values, i.e., submatch offsets.
    ///
    /// In theory, the smallest sequence of slots would be something like
    /// `max(groups(pattern) for pattern in regex) * 2`, but instead, we use
    /// `sum(groups(pattern) for pattern in regex) * 2`. Why?
    ///
    /// Well, the former could be used in theory, because we don't generally
    /// have any overlapping APIs that involve capturing groups. Therefore,
    /// there's technically never any need to have slots set for multiple
    /// patterns. However, this might change some day, in which case, we would
    /// need to have slots available.
    ///
    /// The other reason is that during the execution of some regex engines,
    /// there exists a point in time where multiple slots for different
    /// patterns may be written to before knowing which pattern has matched.
    /// Therefore, the regex engines themselves, in order to support multiple
    /// patterns correctly, must have all slots available. If `Captures`
    /// doesn't have all slots available, then regex engines can't write
    /// directly into the caller provided `Captures` and must instead write
    /// into some other storage and then copy the slots involved in the match
    /// at the end of the search.
    ///
    /// So overall, at least as of the time of writing, it seems like the path
    /// of least resistance is to just require allocating all possible slots
    /// instead of the conceptual minimum. Another way to justify this is that
    /// the most common case is a single pattern, in which case, there is no
    /// inefficiency here since the 'max' and 'sum' calculations above are
    /// equivalent in that case.
    ///
    /// N.B. The mapping from group index to slot is maintained by `GroupInfo`
    /// and is considered an API guarantee. See `GroupInfo` for more details on
    /// that mapping.

/// Represents information about capturing groups in a compiled regex.
///
/// The information encapsulated by this type consists of the following. For
/// each pattern:
///
/// * A map from every capture group name to its corresponding capture group
/// index.
/// * A map from every capture group index to its corresponding capture group
/// name.
/// * A map from capture group index to its corresponding slot index. A slot
/// refers to one half of a capturing group. That is, a capture slot is either
/// the start or end of a capturing group. A slot is usually the mechanism
/// by which a regex engine records offsets for each capturing group during a
/// search.
///
/// A `GroupInfo` uses reference counting internally and is thus cheap to
/// clone.
///
/// # Mapping from capture groups to slots
///
/// One of the main responsibilities of a `GroupInfo` is to build a mapping
/// from `(PatternID, u32)` (where the `u32` is a capture index) to something
/// called a "slot." As mentioned above, a slot refers to one half of a
/// capturing group. Both combined provide the start and end offsets of
/// a capturing group that participated in a match.
///
/// **The mapping between group indices and slots is an API guarantee.** That
/// is, the mapping won't change within a semver compatible release.
///
/// Slots exist primarily because this is a convenient mechanism by which
/// regex engines report group offsets at search time. For example, the
/// [`nfa::thompson::State::Capture`](crate::nfa::thompson::State::Capture)
/// NFA state includes the slot index. When a regex engine transitions through
/// this state, it will likely use the slot index to write the current haystack
/// offset to some region of memory. When a match is found, those slots are
/// then reported to the caller, typically via a convenient abstraction like a
/// [`Captures`] value.
///
/// Because this crate provides first class support for multi-pattern regexes,
/// and because of some performance related reasons, the mapping between
/// capturing groups and slots is a little complex. However, in the case of a
/// single pattern, the mapping can be described very simply: for all capture
/// group indices `i`, its corresponding slots are at `i * 2` and `i * 2 + 1`.
/// Notice that the pattern ID isn't involved at all here, because it only
/// applies to a single-pattern regex, it is therefore always `0`.
///
/// In the multi-pattern case, the mapping is a bit more complicated. To talk
/// about it, we must define what we mean by "implicit" vs "explicit"
/// capturing groups:
///
/// * An **implicit** capturing group refers to the capturing group that is
/// present for every pattern automatically, and corresponds to the overall
/// match of a pattern. Every pattern has precisely one implicit capturing
/// group. It is always unnamed and it always corresponds to the capture group
/// index `0`.
/// * An **explicit** capturing group refers to any capturing group that
/// appears in the concrete syntax of the pattern. (Or, if an NFA was hand
/// built without any concrete syntax, it refers to any capturing group with an
/// index greater than `0`.)
///
/// Some examples:
///
/// * `\w+` has one implicit capturing group and zero explicit capturing
/// groups.
/// * `(\w+)` has one implicit group and one explicit group.
/// * `foo(\d+)(?:\pL+)(\d+)` has one implicit group and two explicit groups.
///
/// Turning back to the slot mapping, we can now state it as follows:
///
/// * Given a pattern ID `pid`, the slots for its implicit group are always
/// at `pid * 2` and `pid * 2 + 1`.
/// * Given a pattern ID `0`, the slots for its explicit groups start
/// at `group_info.pattern_len() * 2`.
/// * Given a pattern ID `pid > 0`, the slots for its explicit groups start
/// immediately following where the slots for the explicit groups of `pid - 1`
/// end.
///
/// In particular, while there is a concrete formula one can use to determine
/// where the slots for the implicit group of any pattern are, there is no
/// general formula for determining where the slots for explicit capturing
/// groups are. This is because each pattern can contain a different number
/// of groups.
///
/// The intended way of getting the slots for a particular capturing group
/// (whether implicit or explicit) is via the [`GroupInfo::slot`] or
/// [`GroupInfo::slots`] method.
///
/// See below for a concrete example of how capturing groups get mapped to
/// slots.
///

/// information.
