I have fixed another bug and think that the version of a more stable
version is worth bumping the versions for.
|
|
This bumping of version is insignificant. I just find it notable that
I seem to finally obtain a version without trivial bugs. Hooray!
|
|
Now the binding part is finished.
What remains is a bug encountered when planting a fragment to the
forest which intersects a packed node, which would lead to invalid
forests. This will also cause problem when planting a packed
fragment, but until now my testing grammars do not produce packed
fragments, so this problem is not encountered yet.
I am still figuring out efficient ways to solve this problem.

I seem to have finished the implementation of forests. Now it remains
the implementation of the chain-rule machine, of which I have a rough
plan now.
|
|
I put functionalities that are not strictly core to separate crates,
so that the whole package becomes more modular, and makes it easier to
try other parsing algorithms in the future.
Also I have to figure the forests out before finishing the core
chain-rule algorithm, as the part about forests affects the labels of
the grammars directly. From my experiences in writing the previous
version, it is asking for trouble to change the labels type
dramatically at a later point: too many places need to be changed.
Thus I decide to figure the rough part of forests out.
Actually I only have to figure out how to attach forests fragments to
edges of the underlying atomic languages, and the more complex parts
of putting forests together can be left to the recorders, which is my
vision of assembling semi-ring values during the chain-rule machine.
It should be relatively easy to produce forests fragments from
grammars since we are just trying to extract some information from the
grammar, not to manipulate those information in some complicated way.
We have to do some manipulations in the process, though, in order to
make sure that the nulling and epsilon-removal processes do not
invalidate these fragments.

Some changes:
- The core crate is renamed to "chain".
- The crate "viz" is added, which will provide layered graph drawing
algorithms.
- A function is added to convert from a grammar to the regular
language of its left-linear closures.
- A function is added to convert from a nondeterministic finite
automaton to its "null" closure. A null closure is the same
automaton with edges added, as if some edges are "null". Whether an
edge is null is determined by a function.
Combined with the previous change, we can convert a grammar to the
regular language of the null closure of its left-linear closures.
---
Now it remains to test more grammars and add an Atom trait, before
finishing the part about compilations.

Basic GNU standard files are added, and we now stop worrying about
monadic anamorphisms.
The current focus is on testing the correctness of the algorithm, so I
need convenient support for manipulating, interpreting, examining, and
per chance animating nondeterministic automata.
