Previously there was a minor bug: if the chain-rule machine ended in a
node without children, which node should be accepting because of edges
that have no children and hence were ignored, then since the node has
no children, it would be regarded as not accepting. Now this issue is
fixed by introducting real or imaginary edges, where an imaginary edge
is used to determine the acceptance of nodes without chidlren.

I need more than the ability to clone nodes: I also need to split the
nodes. Now this seems to be correctly added.
|
|
Finally the prototype parser has produced the first correct forest.
It is my first time to generate a correct forest, in fact, ever since
the beginning of this project.
|
|
It seems to be complete now, but still awaits more tests to see where
the errors are, which should be plenty, haha.
|
|
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.

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.
|
|
I have an ostensibly working prototype now.
Further tests are needed to make sure that the algorithm meets the
time complexity requirement, though.

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.
