2023-01-22forest: clone correctlyJSDurand
Now the forest can detect if a node is packed or cloned, and correctly clones a node in those circumstances. But it still needs to be tested.
2023-01-20minor refactoringJSDurand
It seems the performance is indeed linear for a simple grammar. This is such a historical moment, for me, that I think it deserves a separate commit, haha.
2023-01-20chain: a prototype is added.JSDurand
I have an ostensibly working prototype now. Further tests are needed to make sure that the algorithm meets the time complexity requirement, though.
2023-01-03structural change: separate crates outJSDurand
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.
