2023-06-02Fix a bug of duplication from planting after sploingJSDurand
I should have staged and committed these changes separately, but I am too lazy to deal with that. The main changes in this commit are that I added the derive macro that automates the delegation of the Graph trait. This saves a lot of boiler-plate codes. The second main change, perhaps the most important one, is that I found and tried to fix a bug that caused duplication of nodes. The bug arises from splitting or cloning a node multiple times, and immediately planting the same fragment under the new "sploned" node. That is, when we try to splone the node again, we found that we need to splone, because the node that was created by the same sploning process now has a different label because of the planting of the fragment. Then after the sploning, we plant the fragment again. This makes the newly sploned node have the same label (except for the clone index) and the same children as the node that was sploned and planted in the previous rounds. The fix is to check for the existence of a node that has the same set of children as the about-to-be-sploned node, except for the last one, which contains the about-to-be-planted fragment as a prefix. If that is the case, treat it as an already existing node, so that we do not have to splone the node again. This is consistent with the principle to not create what we do not need.
2023-03-02extra reductionsJSDurand
Finished the function of performing extra reductions. Still untested though.
2023-02-27before a major refactorJSDurand
I decide to adopt a new approach of recording and updating item derivation forests. Since this affects a lot of things, I decide to commit before the refactor, so that I can create a branch for that refactor.
2023-02-13Fix phantom edgesJSDurand
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.
2023-02-12fix clone not changing the rootJSDurand
Previously cloning a node does not alter the root of the forest, while it should alter the root if the cloned node was the root. This would affect how we compare the equalities of forests. It indeed resulted in anomalies that were hard to solve.
2023-02-12Added the functionality of split or clone.JSDurand
I need more than the ability to clone nodes: I also need to split the nodes. Now this seems to be correctly added.
