;=========================================================================
; Parser parameterization
; For building a specific XPath/XPointer implementation, grammar parser is to
; be parameterized
;  txp-params ::= (listof  txp-param )
;  txp-param ::= (list  param-name  param-value  [parameterized-func] )
;  parameterized-func is optional
; Each parser-param generally specifies the parser result for the single
; XPath/XPointer grammar rule

; Given param-name, returns the corresponding lambda
(define (txp:param-value param-name txp-params)
  (cond
    ((assq param-name txp-params)
     => cadr)
    (else
     (display "Parameter unspecified: ")
     (display param-name)
     0  ; this would cause program termination
     )))


;=========================================================================
; Errors handling
; There are 2 kinds of errors: syntactic errors and semantic errors
; - Syntactic error is raised when the location path (fragment identifier)
;   doesn't satisfy XPath (XPointer) grammar. Syntactic error is discovered
;   and raised by the parser.
; - Semantic error can be raised by the specific parser parametrization

; Whether a parser returns an error
(define (txp:error? obj)
  (or (eq? obj 'txp:parser-error)
      (eq? obj 'txp:semantic-error)))

;-------------------------------------------------
; Syntactic error (also called a parser error)

(define (sxml:xpointer-parse-error . text)
  (apply sxml:warn/concat 'XPath/XPointer "parser error: " text)
  #f)

; A warning message for grammar features which are not supported by this
; implementation
(define (sxml:xpointer-parse-warning . text)
  (apply sxml:warn/concat 'XPath/XPointer "parser warning: " text))


;-------------------------------------------------
; Semantic error
; To signal the parser about the semantic error, the specific parametrization
; is to return the symbol  'txp:semantic-error

(define (txp:semantic-errs-detected? . res-list)
  (not (null?
        (filter
         (lambda (res) (eq? res 'txp:semantic-error))
         res-list))))

; Constructed specific parsers may wish to use this function
(define (txp:signal-semantic-error . text)
  (sxml:warn/concat 'XPath/XPointer "semantic error: " text)
  'txp:semantic-error)


;=========================================================================
; Low level parsing functions
; XPath location path (XPointer fragment identifier) is represented as a list
; of chars

; A list of whitespace characters

                                #\* #\, #\= #\| #\! #\" #\' #\@ #\$)))

; A list of characters a NCName cannot start with
(define (sxml:non-first? ch)
  (or (char-numeric? ch)
      (memv ch sxml:delimiter) 
      (memv ch '(#\. #\-))))

; The function reads a whitespace , production [3] (S) in XML Rec.
;  path - xpointer path string as a list of chars
; It returns a new path

	  (not (memv (car path) sxml:whitespace)))

;------------------------------------------------
; These two functions read expected information from the path

; Whether the path begins with a 'str' (starting whitespaces are ignored)
;  str - a string to match
;  path - an xpointer path represented as a list of chars
;  char-list - an optional argument. If this argument is supplied, a 'str'
; pattern must be followed by a character from a 'char-list'
; If 'str' is really in the beginning of path, a new path is returned
