# Note 1: use the eev command (defined in eev.el) and the
# ee alias (in my .zshrc) to execute parts of this file.
# Executing this file as a whole makes no sense.

# Note 2: be VERY careful and make sure you understand what

# Note 3: If you use a shell other than zsh things like |&

2023apr15:
Better ways to use -DLPEG_DEBUG, :pcode(), and :ptree()?
Hi list,
I know that I can examine the internal representation of (compiled)
lpeg patterns by compiling lpeg with -DLPEG_DEBUG and then running
some methods like :pcode() and :ptree(), as in the code below... but
these methods use printfs, and so they send their output to stdout.
People, do you have any tricks - wrappers, maybe? - to display these
debugging outputs in other ways?
Here is some code that works, but that is clumsy:

patt / f if patt captured a,b,c then f(a, b, c)
patt / "_%2_" if patt captured "foo" and "bar" then "_bar_"
patt / tbl if patt captured a and b then tbl[a]
lpeg.Cg(patt, name) group capture
lpeg.Cf(patt, f) a folding of the captures from patt

Hi list,
I was trying to understand what exactly lpeg.Cg does when it creates
anyonymous group captures and I found something weird... well, at
least on lpeg-1.0.2, but let me ask it anyway.
This is the code; PP is my favorite pretty-printing function and the
results of the tests are after the "-->"s:
require "lpeg"
B,C,P,R,S,V = lpeg.B,lpeg.C,lpeg.P,lpeg.R,lpeg.S,lpeg.V
Cb,Cc,Cf,Cg = lpeg.Cb,lpeg.Cc,lpeg.Cf,lpeg.Cg
Cp,Cs,Ct = lpeg.Cp,lpeg.Cs,lpeg.Ct
Carg,Cmt = lpeg.Carg,lpeg.Cmt
lpeg.pm = function (pat, str) PP(pat:match(str or "")) end
char = C(1)
char2 = C(1)*C(1)
char2g = Cg(C(1)*C(1))
f = function (...) return "("..table.concat({...}, ",")..")" end
(char * char ^0):pm("abcde") --> "a" "b" "c" "d" "e"
(char * char2 ^0):pm("abcde") --> "a" "b" "c" "d" "e"
(char * char2g^0):pm("abcde") --> "a" "b" "c" "d" "e"
(char2g * char2g^0):pm("abcdef") --> "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f"
(char * char ^0):Cf(f):pm("abcde") --> "((((a,b),c),d),e)"
(char * char2 ^0):Cf(f):pm("abcde") --> "((((a,b),c),d),e)"
(char * char2g^0):Cf(f):pm("abcde") --> "((a,b,c),d,e)"
(char2g * char2g^0):Cf(f):pm("abcdef") --> "((a,c,d),e,f)"
(char * char ^0):Ct():pm("abcde") --> {1="a", 2="b", 3="c", 4="d", 5="e"}
(char * char2 ^0):Ct():pm("abcde") --> {1="a", 2="b", 3="c", 4="d", 5="e"}
(char * char2g^0):Ct():pm("abcde") --> {1="a", 2="b", 3="c", 4="d", 5="e"}
(char2g * char2g^0):Ct():pm("abcdef") --> {1="a", 2="b", 3="c", 4="d", 5="e", 6="f"}
((char * char ^0) / 2):pm("abcde") --> "b"
((char * char2 ^0) / 2):pm("abcde") --> "b"
((char * char2g^0) / 2):pm("abcde") --> "b"
((char2g * char2g^0) / 2):pm("abcdef") --> "b"
Some of the patterns at the left in the tests above produce
"a" "b" "c" "d" "e"
as five separate captures, some produce them as "a" plus two captures
with two values each, grouped like this,
"a" ("b" "c") ("d" "e")
and some produce three captures with two values each, grouped like
this:
("a" "b") ("c" "d") ("e" "f")
and apparently only lpeg.Cf() distinguishes all these cases... I
couldn't find anything else, besides lpeg.Cf(), that would _not_
coerce the three cases above into five or six separate captures.
Are there other ways - besides lpeg.Cf() - to access the captures
while they are still in this form,
"a" ("b" "c") ("d" "e")
or
("a" "b") ("c" "d") ("e" "f"),
before the groups are unpacked?
Thanks in advance...

Whoa!!!
That's brilliant! I didn't know that a back capture could store
several values! Many thanks! =) =) =)

Lpeg: a question about function captures and named captures
Hi list,
if anyone wants a short version of my question, here it is...
when we use function captures in lpeg - i.e., this thing,
http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/lpeg.html#cap-func
the "f" in patt/f receives "numbered captures" and returns "numbered
captures". Is there a way to write something similar to that returns
named captures?
Now here is a clearer version of that question, with code. In the code
below PP is my favorite pretty-printing function. It is defined in my
init file, and it prints tables like this:
> PP {a="b", 10, 20}
{1=10, 2=20, "a"="b"}
>
There's even a way to configure it to make it print tables like this,
> PP {a="b", 10, 20}
{[1]=10, [2]=20, ["a"]="b"}
>
but I don't use it much. Anyway, here is the code:
require "lpeg"
B,C,P,R,S,V = lpeg.B,lpeg.C,lpeg.P,lpeg.R,lpeg.S,lpeg.V
Cb,Cc,Cf,Cg = lpeg.Cb,lpeg.Cc,lpeg.Cf,lpeg.Cg
Cp,Cs,Ct = lpeg.Cp,lpeg.Cs,lpeg.Ct
Carg,Cmt = lpeg.Carg,lpeg.Cmt
lpeg.ptmatch = function (pat, str) PP(pat:Ct():match(str)) end
PP {a="b", 10, 20}
f = function (a,b) return a..b,b..a end
(Cc"a" * Cc"b") :ptmatch("ccc")
(Cc"a" * Cc"b" / f) :ptmatch("ccc")
(Cc"a" * Cc"b" / f):Cg"c" :ptmatch("ccc")
(Cc"a" * Cc"b" / f):Cg(3) :ptmatch("ccc")
If I run it one line at a time in a REPL I get this:
Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

> Cp,Cs,Ct = lpeg.Cp,lpeg.Cs,lpeg.Ct

> (Cc"a" * Cc"b" / f):Cg(3) :ptmatch("ccc")

>
How do I modify the ".../f" above to make it put the first result of f
into :Cg"c" and the second result into :Cg"d"?
Thanks in advance!

Hi list,
I'm trying to learn how group captures in lpeg "really" work, and it
seems that they store data in a certain data structure - I will refer
to it as "Ltables", but this is obviously an improvised name - that
is between tables and lists of values...
In the examples below I will use my favorite pretty-printing function,
"PP", whose output is like this:
PP(2, "3", {4, 5, a=6, [{7,8}]=9, [{7,8}]=10})
--> 2 "3" {1=4, 2=5, "a"=6, {1=7, 2=8}=9, {1=7, 2=8}=10}
If we run this in a REPL,
require "lpeg"
B,C,P,R,S,V = lpeg.B,lpeg.C,lpeg.P,lpeg.R,lpeg.S,lpeg.V
Cb,Cc,Cf,Cg = lpeg.Cb,lpeg.Cc,lpeg.Cf,lpeg.Cg
Cp,Cs,Ct = lpeg.Cp,lpeg.Cs,lpeg.Ct
Carg,Cmt = lpeg.Carg,lpeg.Cmt
lpeg.pm = function (pat, str) PP(pat:match(str or "")) end
(Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d")) :pm()
(Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e") :pm()
(Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e") :Ct():pm()
(Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f") :Ct():pm()
(Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f" * Cb"e"):Ct():pm()
(Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f" * Cb"e") :pm()
we get this output:
> (Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d")) :pm()
"a" "b" "c" "d"
> (Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e") :pm()
"a" "b"
> (Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e") :Ct():pm()
{1="a", 2="b", "e"="c"}
> (Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f") :Ct():pm()
{1="a", 2="b", 3="f", "e"="c"}
> (Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f" * Cb"e"):Ct():pm()
{1="a", 2="b", 3="f", 4="c", 5="d", "e"="c"}
> (Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f" * Cb"e") :pm()
"a" "b" "f" "c" "d"
>
If we define a table like this,
{20, 30, a=40, a=50, 60}
then the second assignment to "a" will override the first one; lpeg.Cg
does something similar to that...
Let me use this notation for Ltables. This lpeg pattern
Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f"
matches the empty string, and returns this Ltable:
{."a" "b" e={."c" "d".} "f".}
Ltables can be coerced both to tables, by lpeg.Ct, and to lists of
values. The output of
(Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f") :pm()
(Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f") :Ct():pm()
(Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f" * Cb"e"):Ct():pm()
(Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f" * Cb"e") :pm()
is:
> (Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f") :pm()
"a" "b" "f"
> (Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f") :Ct():pm()
{1="a", 2="b", 3="f", "e"="c"}
> (Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f" * Cb"e"):Ct():pm()
{1="a", 2="b", 3="f", 4="c", 5="d", "e"="c"}
> (Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f" * Cb"e") :pm()
"a" "b" "f" "c" "d"
>
In my (current) way of thinking this lpeg pattern
Cc("a","b") * Cc("c","d"):Cg"e" * Cc"f" * Cb"e"
returns this Ltable,
{."a" "b" ["e"]={."c" "d".} "f" ["e"]}
where the ["e"]={."c" "d".} stores an Ltable in the entry with the key
"e" in the current Ltable, and the ["e"] at the end reads the value
stored in the key "e", coerces it to a list of values, and adds these
values to the current Ltable...
Questions:
==========
What is the official name of this data structure? Is there a place in
which it is described in more details than in the Lpeg manual? Where?
The Lpeg manual only talks about "most recent group capture", and it
says this:
"Most recent means the last complete outermost group capture with
the given name. A Complete capture means that the entire pattern
corresponding to the capture has matched. An Outermost capture
means that the capture is not inside another complete capture."
here:
http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/lpeg.html#cap-g
http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/lpeg.html#cap-b
I hope I'm not the only person who finds that too terse... and also,
is there anyone here - besides me - who have tried to draw diagrams to
understand how the operations on captures work? My current diagrams
are here:

I draw them as this:

\---/ \---/ \---/ \---/ \---/ \---/
"a" "b" ["c"] "a" "b" ["c"]
\---/ \---/ \---/ \---/

c="a" d="b" d="b" ["c"]
\---------------/ \---------/
c="a" d="b" ["c"] not found?
\---------------/
c="a" d="b" "a"
Each ["c"] means "fetch the value associated to the key "c" and append
it to the current Ltable", and the lower underbrace in the first
diagram shows the moment in which that fetch happens and the ["c"] is
replaced by "a". The second diagram shows what I _expected_ that would
happen in the second match; I expected that in this subpattern
(lpeg.C(1):Cg"d" * lpeg.Cb"c")
the lpeg.Cb"c" would look only at the "Cg"s that happen inside that
subpattern, and I would get an error like this one...
stdin:1: back reference 'c' not found
...but I was wrong. I _guess_ that what is happening in the second
(...):match"ab" is this:
a b
\---/ \---/ \---/
"a" "b" ["c"]
\---/ \---/
c="a" d="b"
\---------/
d="b" ["c"]
\---------------/
c="a" d="b" ["c"]
\---------------/
c="a" d="b" "a"
and the expansion ["c"] -> "a" is delayed as most as possible...
Anyway, I hope that these diagrams would make enough sense to the
people who can help me fix them, and who can help me fix my mental
model...

Is that a honest question?
Here's a way to define subpatterns by analogy. We all know how to
build bigger expressions from basic expressions, and after learning
how to do that we all learned what are subexpressions, but most of us
never saw a formal definition of "subexpression". Similarly, we "all"
know what are basic (lpeg) patterns, and we "all" know how to build
bigger (lpeg) patterns from basic (lpeg) patters. Most of us know what
are sub-(lpeg)-patterns by analogy with subexpressions...
> For me, they cloud the issue. To me, a capture captures the text of

Makes sense, but most of the lpeg patterns that _I_ wrote in the last
year or so transform the original text in ways that are very complex,
and most of the captures that appear in the intermediate steps of _my_
transformations are tables, ASTs, or numbers... and that's why _right
now_ _I_'m not interested in the basic cases in which lpeg captures
simply capture text and transform text - my priority now is to
understand some obscure features and corner cases...
Cheers,
Eduardo

# http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2023-08/msg00059.html Roberto: I really
Hi Roberto,
Mainly "last complete outermost group capture" and "immediate
evaluation of all its nested captures", in:
lpeg.Cb (name)
Creates a back capture. This pattern matches the empty string and
produces the values produced by the most recent group capture named
name (where name can be any Lua value).
Most recent means the last complete outermost group capture with the
given name. A Complete capture means that the entire pattern
corresponding to the capture has matched. An Outermost capture means
that the capture is not inside another complete capture.
In the same way that LPeg does not specify when it evaluates
captures, it does not specify whether it reuses values previously
produced by the group or re-evaluates them.
lpeg.Cmt(patt, function)
Creates a match-time capture. Unlike all other captures, this one is
evaluated immediately when a match occurs (even if it is part of a
larger pattern that fails later). It forces the immediate evaluation
of all its nested captures and then calls function.
Cheers =/,

Hi Roberto,
I gave a mini-presentation/mini-workshop about my diagrams to two
friends yesterday and they liked it very much - so now there are at
least two people besides me who think that they are useful, and that's
more than enough...
Anyway, in the code below the tests C1..C3 and D1..D4 are based in
your examples. In the block D1..D4 only D4 yields an error, and that
makes sense to me - but in the block C1..C3 the tests C1 and C3 yield
errors but C2 does not. Is this behavior of C1..C3 something that is
explained in the documentation? How? I admit that I'm still struggling
with some terms, sorry...

Hi list,
this is related to the discussion in this thread:
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2023-08/threads.html#00041
I was trying to write a lpeg pattern that would parse strings like
"(%i3)" and "(%o42)" and return tables like these ones:
{a="i", b="3", c="(%i3)"}
{a="o", b="42", c="(%o42)"}
The long story is that I'm rewriting my functions that parse the logs
of Maxima sessions. These logs look this, but that's not relevant now:
https://home.csulb.edu/~woollett/mbe1intro.pdf#page=9
Anyway, here's what I tried to do - the "PP" in lpeg.pm is my favorite
pretty-printing function, defined in my init file...
require "lpeg"
B,C,P,R,S,V = lpeg.B,lpeg.C,lpeg.P,lpeg.R,lpeg.S,lpeg.V
Cb,Cc,Cf,Cg = lpeg.Cb,lpeg.Cc,lpeg.Cf,lpeg.Cg
Cp,Cs,Ct = lpeg.Cp,lpeg.Cs,lpeg.Ct
Carg,Cmt = lpeg.Carg,lpeg.Cmt
lpeg.pm = function (pat, str) PP(pat:match(str or "")) end
pa = S"io":Cg"a"
pb = (R"09"^1):Cg"b"
pabc = (P"(%" * pa * pb * P")"):C():Cg"c":Ct()
pfake = (P"(%i42)" * Cc"i":Cg"a" * Cc"42":Cg"b" * Cc"(%i42)":Cg"c"):Ct()
pabc :pm"(%i42)" --> {"c"="(%i42)"}
pfake:pm"(%i42)" --> {"a"="i", "b"="42", "c"="(%i42)"}
At first I thought that pabc:pm"(%i42)" would print a table with
fields "a", "b", and "c", like the table printed by the "fake" pattern
pfake in pfake:pm"(%i42)"... but that's not what happens. The
explanation is here:
lpeg.C (patt)
Creates a simple capture, which captures the substring of the
subject that matches patt. The captured value is a string. If patt
has other captures, their values are returned after this one.
Source: http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/lpeg.html#cap-c
The "their _values_ are returned after this one" means that only the
captures that are "values" are returned; the "named" captures produced
by Cg are dropped. This can also be seen in this other test:
pe = Cc(20) * Cc(30):Cg"a" * Cc(40) * Cc(50):Cg"b"
pe :pm"foo" --> 20 40
pe :Ct():pm"foo" --> {1=20, 2=40, "a"=30, "b"=50}
pe:C() :pm"foo" --> "" 20 40
pe:C():Ct():pm"foo" --> {1="", 2=20, 3=40}
So: I understand what is happening, and why it happens... but is there
a workaround? Is it possible to replace the :C():Cg"c" in
pabc = (P"(%" * pa * pb * P")"):C():Cg"c":Ct()
by something else, that would put the substring matched by the
P"(%" * pa * pb * P")"
into the key "c" without dropping the named captures generated by pa
and pb?
Thanks in advance!

# An extension to Lua to let us refer to the table being constructed
# 2023aug19

#####
# «capts-current-table» (to ".capts-current-table")
# (find-lua51manual "#2.5.7" "Table constructors")
# (find-lpegmanual "#cap-g" "group capture")
# (find-lpegmanual "#cap-b" "back capture")
We know that this
{10, 20, ["a"]=30, 40, a=50, 60}
is roughly equivalent to this:
local T = {}
table.insert(T, 10)
table.insert(T, 20)
T["a"] = 30
table.insert(T, 40)
T["a"] = 50 -- overwrites the previous T["a"]
table.insert(T, 60)
Let's imagine an extension of Lua in which this is valid,
{10, 20, a=30, 40, a=50, 60, ["a"], ["a"]+2}
\---/ \---/
50 50
\-----/
52
and corresponds to this:
local T = {}
table.insert(T, 10)
table.insert(T, 20)
T["a"] = 30
table.insert(T, 40)
T["a"] = 50 -- overwrites the previous T["a"]
table.insert(T, 60)
table.insert(T, T["a"]) -- ["a"] becomes T["a"]
table.insert(T, T["a"]+2) -- ["a"]+2 becomes T["a"]+2
i.e., each ["a"] references the value stored in the key "a" of the
table that is being constructed. I will refer to the "table that is
being constructed" as the "current table".
_Apparently_ this operation that reads entries from the "current
table" is exactly what we need to understand how _group captures_ and
_back captures_ work in lpeg. Look at the two examples below, that end
with ":pm()"s:
* (eepitch-lua51)
* (eepitch-kill)
* (eepitch-lua51)
require "lpeg"
B,C,P,R,S,V = lpeg.B,lpeg.C,lpeg.P,lpeg.R,lpeg.S,lpeg.V
Cb,Cc,Cf,Cg = lpeg.Cb,lpeg.Cc,lpeg.Cf,lpeg.Cg
Cp,Cs,Ct = lpeg.Cp,lpeg.Cs,lpeg.Ct
Carg,Cmt = lpeg.Carg,lpeg.Cmt
lpeg.pm = function (pat, str) PP(pat:match(str or "")) end
(Cc"a" * Cc"b":Cg"c" * Cc"d" * Cb"c"):Ct():pm()
-- \---/ \---/ \---/ \---/
-- "a" "b" "d" ["c"]
-- \---------/
-- ["c"]="b"
-- \----------------------------------/
-- "a" ["c"]="b" "d" ["c"]
-- \----------------------------------------/
-- {"a", ["c"]="b", "d", ["c"] }
-- \----------------------------------------/
-- {"a", ["c"]="b", "d", "b" }
(Cc"a" * Cc("b","c"):Cg"d" * Cc"e" * Cb"d" * Cb"d"):Ct():pm()
-- \---/ \---------/ \---/ \---/ \---/
-- "a" "b" "c" "e" ["d"] ["d"]
-- \---------------/
-- ["d"]={."b" "c".}
-- \-----------------------------------------------/
-- "a" ["d"]={."b" "c".} "e" ["d"] ["d"]
-- \-----------------------------------------------------/
-- {"a", ["d"]={."b" "c".}, "e", ["d"], ["d"] }
-- \-----------------------------------------------------/
-- {"a", ["d"]="b", "e", "b","c", "b","c" }
The second example shows that Cc("b","c"):Cg"d" doesn't store a
"value" in ["d"]... it stores a type of object that is a strange cross
between a single value, a table, and a list of values. For more on
"lists of values", see:
(find-es "lua-intro" "intro:lists")
I will call these new objects "Ltables", and I will write them like
tables, but delimited with "{. .}" instead of just "{ }"; and
sometimes I will omit their commas, and write just
{."b" "c".}
instead of:
{."b", "c".}
Ltables can be coerced to values, to lists of values, and to tables.
The diagram above shows some of these coercions, but in a messy way...
I will try to clean that up in a few days!

Talk description:
Many years ago, when I started programming, my dream was to write
games. I failed miserably in that, but I became fascinated by
languages, and I discovered Forth - that was perfect for writing
languages whose syntax was as simple as possible. Then I switched to
GNU/Linux and I had a series of favorite languages; at some point I
discovered Lua, that became not only my favorite language but also my
favorite tool for implementing other languages. One of the main
libraries of Lua is something called LPeg, that lets "people"
implement complex parsers in just a few lines of code using PEGs -
Parsing Expression Grammars.
I've put the "people" in the last paragraph between quotes because for
many years I wasn't included in the "people who can implement complex
parsers with LPeg"... lots of things in LPeg didn't make sense to me,
and I couldn't visualize how it worked. Something was missing - some
diagrams, maybe?
The main tool for drawing diagrams in LaTeX is something called TikZ,
that is HUGE - its manual has over 1000 pages. TikZ includes lots of
libraries and extensions, and each one of these libraries and
extensions extends TikZ's core language with some extra constructs.
I don't know anyone - except for a handful of experts - who knows what
is the "core language" of Tikz, that lies, or that should lie, below
all these extensions... all of my friends who use TikZ are just
"users" of TikZ - they've learned some parts of TikZ by starting with
exemples, and by then modifying these examples mostly by trial and
error. In particular, no one among my friends knows how styles in TikZ
really work; styles are implemented using "keys", that are hard to
inspect from a running TeX - see [1] - and I found the chapter on "key
management" in the manual very hard to understand. It feels as if
something is missing from it... some diagrams, maybe?
In my day job I am a mathematician. I work in a federal university in
Brazil, and besides teaching I do some research - mostly in areas in
which the papers and theses have lots of diagrams, of many different
kinds, and in which people use zillions of different programs to draw
their diagrams. Every time that I see those diagrams I think "wow, I
_need_ to learn how to draw diagrams like that!", but until a few
months ago this seemed to be impossible, or very hard, or very
painful...
This presentation will be about a point in which all these ideas
intersect. I am the author of an Emacs package called eev, that
encourages using REPLs in a certain way; Lua can be used in several
different styles, and if we use it in a certain way that most people
hate - with lots of globals, and with an implementation of OO that
makes everything inspectable and modifiable - then it becomes very
REPL-friendly; there is an extension of LPeg called LPegRex ([2],
[3]), that I found promising but hard to use, so I rewrote some parts
of it to make them more REPL-friendly, and to make it print its ASTs
in 2D ASCII art. The core of my presentation will be about how I am
using REPLs written in Lua to write grammars, parsers, and tools to
generate many kinds of diagrams, and how I am using these diagrams to
document both my own code and other people's programs - the parts of
them in which some diagrams seem to be missing. My hope is that people
will find these ideas easy to port to other languages besides Lua, to
other tools for generating diagrams besides LaTeX - SVG, maybe? - and
to other ways to use REPLs in Emacs besides eev. Some ideas in this
presentation were inspired by the blog post [4].

Hi list,
I am the author of this thing, that adds a Lua interpreter to Emacs,
https://github.com/edrx/emlua/#introduction
but I was only able to write it because someone - nerditation - helped
me with the part in C...
https://github.com/edrx/emlua/blob/main/emlua.cpp
Now I'm going to ask for help on another thing in C - this time to
make the debugging functions of lpeg slightly more useful.
1. Introduction and demo
========================
This is what I use to compile lpeg with "-DLPEG_DEBUG" on Debian, and
to test the methods :pcode() and :ptree(), that are only available
when LPEG_DEBUG is defined:
export S=$HOME/snarf
mkdir -p $S/http/www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/
cd $S/http/www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/
wget -nc 'http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/lpeg-1.1.0.tar.gz'
rm -Rv ~/usrc/lpeg-1.1.0/
mkdir ~/usrc/lpeg-1.1.0/
tar -C ~/usrc/ -xvzf $S/http/www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/lpeg-1.1.0.tar.gz
cd ~/usrc/lpeg-1.1.0/
ls *.c *.h | tee .files.ch
etags $(cat .files.ch)
rm -fv *.o
rm -fv *.so
rm -fv om
make LUADIR=/usr/include/lua5.1 COPT="-O2 -DLPEG_DEBUG"
lua5.1
HOME = os.getenv("HOME")
package.cpath = HOME.."/usrc/lpeg-1.1.0/?.so;" .. package.cpath
require "lpeg"
AlphaNumeric = lpeg.R("AZ", "az", "09")
AnchorChar = AlphaNumeric + lpeg.S("!#$%()*+,-./:;=?@^_{|}~")
AnchorChar:pcode()
AnchorChar:ptree()
os.exit()
When I run all that in a shell, the log of the last part is:
Lua 5.1.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> HOME = os.getenv("HOME")
> package.cpath = HOME.."/usrc/lpeg-1.1.0/?.so;" .. package.cpath
> require "lpeg"
> AlphaNumeric = lpeg.R("AZ", "az", "09")
> AnchorChar = AlphaNumeric + lpeg.S("!#$%()*+,-./:;=?@^_{|}~")
> AnchorChar:pcode()
[]
00: set (20-3) [(21)(23-25)(28-3b)(3d)(3f-5a)(5e-5f)(61-7e)]
04: end
> AnchorChar:ptree()
[]
set(04-12) [(21)(23-25)(28-3b)(3d)(3f-5a)(5e-5f)(61-7e)]
> os.exit()
but pcode and ptree don't return strings - they _print_ strings...
2. Help needed
==============
The file ptree.c in the lpeg source contains these lines:
static struct luaL_Reg pattreg[] = {
{"ptree", lp_printtree},
{"pcode", lp_printcode},
{"match", lp_match},
{"B", lp_behind},
...
}
and lpprint.h contains this:
#if defined(LPEG_DEBUG)
void printpatt (Instruction *p, int n);
void printtree (TTree *tree, int ident);
void printktable (lua_State *L, int idx);
void printcharset (const byte *st);
void printcaplist (Capture *cap, Capture *limit);
void printinst (const Instruction *op, const Instruction *p);
#else
#define printktable(L,idx) \
luaL_error(L, "function only implemented in debug mode")
#define printtree(tree,i) \
luaL_error(L, "function only implemented in debug mode")
#define printpatt(p,n) \
luaL_error(L, "function only implemented in debug mode")
#endif
The debugging functions - in lpprint.c - are implemented using
"printf"s. Suppose that we replace all of the 32 occurrence of
"printf" in lpprint.c by "mylpegprintf_C", and mylpegprintf_C is a
function or macro that would do this (in pseudocode in Lua):
mylpegprintf_C = function (fmt, ...)
if _G.mylpegprintf
then local str = sprintf(fmt, ...) -- calls sprintf in C
_G.mylpegprintf(str) -- calls Lua
else printf(fmt, ...) -- calls printf in C
end
end
then it would be trivial to write variants of :pcode and :ptree that
would return strings instead of just printing things...
Anyone would like to help me with that? I can't offer fame or fortune
- just credit and many, many thanks...
Thanks in advance (hopefully),

If I would do that kind of thing (I probably will, but not now), I would
use a 'string buffer' from the auxiliary library to built the resulting
string, all in C.
I would change all calls to printf to something like this:
printf(fmt, ...) --> myprintf(b, fmt, ...)
The function 'myprintf' would be something like this:
static void myprintf (luaL_Buffer *B, const char *fmt, ...) {
va_list argp;
char *buff[250];
int len;
va_start(argp, fmt);
len = vsprintf(buff, fmt, argp);
va_end(argp);
luaL_addlstring(B, buff, len);
}
The main functions would be responsible for creating the buffers and
finishing them to create the final string result.

Lua's long strings
==================
A long string in Lua starts with the pattern [=*[ and ends at the
first occurrence of ]=*] with exactly the same number of equal signs.
If the opening brackets are followed by a newline, this newline is
discarded (that is, it is not part of the string).
To match a long string in Lua, the pattern must capture the first
repetition of equal signs and then, whenever it finds a candidate for
closing the string, check whether it has the same number of equal
signs.
equals = lpeg.P"="^0
open = "[" * lpeg.Cg(equals, "init") * "[" * lpeg.P"\n"^-1
close = "]" * lpeg.C(equals) * "]"
closeeq = lpeg.Cmt(close * lpeg.Cb("init"), function (s, i, a, b) return a == b end)
string = open * lpeg.C((lpeg.P(1) - closeeq)^0) * close / 1
The open pattern matches [=*[, capturing the repetitions of equal
signs in a group named init; it also discharges an optional newline,
if present. The close pattern matches ]=*], also capturing the
repetitions of equal signs. The closeeq pattern first matches close;
then it uses a back capture to recover the capture made by the
previous open, which is named init; finally it uses a match-time
capture to check whether both captures are equal. The string pattern
starts with an open, then it goes as far as possible until matching
closeeq, and then matches the final close. The final numbered capture
simply discards the capture made by close.
