=head1 NAME

PPIx::Regexp::Element - Base of the PPIx::Regexp hierarchy.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

No user-serviceable parts inside.

=head1 INHERITANCE

C<PPIx::Regexp::Element> is not descended from any other class.

C<PPIx::Regexp::Element> is the parent of
L<PPIx::Regexp::Node|PPIx::Regexp::Node> and
L<PPIx::Regexp::Token|PPIx::Regexp::Token>.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is the base of the L<PPIx::Regexp|PPIx::Regexp>
object hierarchy. It provides the same kind of navigational
functionality that is provided by L<PPI::Element|PPI::Element>.

=head1 METHODS

This class provides the following public methods. Methods not documented
here are private, and unsupported in the sense that the author reserves
the right to change or remove them without notice.

=cut

package PPIx::Regexp::Element;

use strict;
use warnings;

use 5.006;

use Carp;
use List::MoreUtils qw{ firstidx };
use PPIx::Regexp::Util qw{ __instance };
use Scalar::Util qw{ refaddr weaken };

use PPIx::Regexp::Constant qw{ MINIMUM_PERL TOKEN_UNKNOWN };

our $VERSION = '0.050';

=head2 ancestor_of

This method returns true if the object is an ancestor of the argument,
and false otherwise. By the definition of this method, C<$self> is its
own ancestor.

=cut

sub ancestor_of {
    my ( $self, $elem ) = @_;
    __instance( $elem, __PACKAGE__ ) or return;
    my $addr = refaddr( $self );
    while ( $addr != refaddr( $elem ) ) {
	$elem = $elem->_parent() or return;
    }
    return 1;
}

=head2 can_be_quantified

 $token->can_be_quantified()
     and print "This element can be quantified.\n";

This method returns true if the element can be quantified.

=cut

sub can_be_quantified { return 1; }


=head2 class

This method returns the class name of the element. It is the same as
C<ref $self>.

=cut

sub class {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    return ref $self;
}

=head2 comment

This method returns true if the element is a comment and false
otherwise.

=cut

sub comment {
    return;
}

=head2 content

This method returns the content of the element.

=cut

sub content {
    return;
}

=head2 descendant_of

This method returns true if the object is a descendant of the argument,
and false otherwise. By the definition of this method, C<$self> is its
own descendant.

=cut

sub descendant_of {
    my ( $self, $node ) = @_;
    __instance( $node, __PACKAGE__ ) or return;
    return $node->ancestor_of( $self );
}

=head2 explain

This method returns a brief explanation of what the element does. The
return will be either a string or C<undef> in scalar context, but may be
multiple values or an empty array in list context.

This method should be considered experimental. What it returns may
change without notice as my understanding of what all the pieces/parts
of a Perl regular expression evolves. The worst case is that it will
prove entirely infeasible to implement satisfactorily, in which case it
will be put through a deprecation cycle and retracted.

=cut

sub explain {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    my $explanation = $self->__explanation();
    my $content = $self->content();
    if ( my $main = $self->main_structure() ) {
	my $delim = $main->delimiters();
	$delim = qr{ \\ (?= [\Q$delim\E] ) }smx;
	$content =~ s/$delim//smxg;
    }
    if ( defined( my $splain = $explanation->{$content} ) ) {
	return $splain;
    }
    return $self->__no_explanation();
}

# Return explanation hash
sub __explanation {
    $PPIx::Regexp::NO_EXPLANATION_FATAL
	and confess 'Neither explain() nor __explanation() overridden';
    return {};
}

# Called if no explanation available
sub __no_explanation {
##  my ( $self ) = @_;		# Invocant unused
    my $msg = sprintf q<No explanation>;
    $PPIx::Regexp::NO_EXPLANATION_FATAL
	and confess $msg;
    return $msg;
}

=head2 error

 say $token->error();

If an element is one of the classes that represents a parse error, this
method B<may> return a brief message saying why. Otherwise it will
return C<undef>.

=cut

sub error {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    return $self->{error};
}

=head2 in_regex_set

This method returns a true value if the invocant is contained in an
extended bracketed character class (also known as a regex set), and a
false value otherwise. This method returns true if the invocant is a
L<PPIx::Regexp::Structure::RegexSet|PPIx::Regexp::Structure::RegexSet>.

=cut

sub in_regex_set {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    my $ele = $self;
    while ( 1 ) {
	$ele->isa( 'PPIx::Regexp::Structure::RegexSet' )
	    and return 1;
	$ele = $ele->parent()
	    or last;
    }
    return 0;
}

=head2 is_quantifier

 $token->is_quantifier()
     and print "This element is a quantifier.\n";

This method returns true if the element is a quantifier. You can not
tell this from the element's class, because a right curly bracket may
represent a quantifier for the purposes of figuring out whether a
greediness token is possible.

=cut

sub is_quantifier { return; }

=head2 main_structure

This method returns the
L<PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Main|PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Main> that
contains the element. In practice this will be a
L<PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Regexp|PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Regexp> or a
L<PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Replacement|PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Replacement>,

If the element is not contained in any such structure, C<undef> is
returned. This will happen if the element is a
L<PPIx::Regexp|PPIx::Regexp> or one of its immediate children.

=cut

sub main_structure {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    while ( $self = $self->parent()
	    and not $self->isa( 'PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Main' ) ) {
    }
    return $self;
}

=head2 modifier_asserted

 $token->modifier_asserted( 'i' )
     and print "Matched without regard to case.\n";

This method returns true if the given modifier is in effect for the
element, and false otherwise.

What it does is to walk backwards from the element until it finds a
modifier object that specifies the modifier, whether asserted or
negated. and returns the specified value. If nobody specifies the
modifier, it returns C<undef>.

This method will not work reliably if called on tokenizer output.

=cut

sub modifier_asserted {
    my ( $self, $modifier ) = @_;

    defined $modifier
	or croak 'Modifier must be defined';

    my $elem = $self;

    while ( $elem ) {
	if ( $elem->can( '__ducktype_modifier_asserted' ) ) {
	    my $val;
	    defined( $val = $elem->__ducktype_modifier_asserted( $modifier ) )
		and return $val;
	}
	if ( my $prev = $elem->sprevious_sibling() ) {
	    $elem = $prev;
	} else {
	    $elem = $elem->parent();
	}
    }

    return;
}

=head2 next_sibling

This method returns the element's next sibling, or nothing if there is
none.

=cut

sub next_sibling {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    my ( $method, $inx ) = $self->_my_inx()
	or return;
    return $self->_parent()->$method( $inx + 1 );
}

=head2 parent

This method returns the parent of the element, or undef if there is
none.

=cut

sub parent {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    return $self->_parent();
}

=head2 perl_version_introduced

This method returns the version of Perl in which the element was
introduced. This will be at least 5.000. Before 5.006 I am relying on
the F<perldelta>, F<perlre>, and F<perlop> documentation, since I have
been unable to build earlier Perls. Since I have found no documentation
before 5.003, I assume that anything found in 5.003 is also in 5.000.

Since this all depends on my ability to read and understand masses of
documentation, the results of this method should be viewed with caution,
if not downright skepticism.

There are also cases which are ambiguous in various ways. For those see
L<PPIx::Regexp/RESTRICTIONS>, and especially
L<PPIx::Regexp/Changes in Syntax>.

=cut

sub perl_version_introduced {
    return MINIMUM_PERL;
}

=head2 perl_version_removed

This method returns the version of Perl in which the element was
removed. If the element is still valid the return is C<undef>.

All the I<caveats> to
L<perl_version_introduced()|/perl_version_introduced> apply here also,
though perhaps less severely since although many features have been
introduced since 5.0, few have been removed.

=cut

sub perl_version_removed {
    return undef;	## no critic (ProhibitExplicitReturnUndef)
}

=head2 previous_sibling

This method returns the element's previous sibling, or nothing if there
is none.

=cut

sub previous_sibling {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    my ( $method, $inx ) = $self->_my_inx()
	or return;
    $inx or return;
    return $self->_parent()->$method( $inx - 1 );
}

=head2 significant

This method returns true if the element is significant and false
otherwise.

=cut

sub significant {
    return 1;
}

=head2 snext_sibling

This method returns the element's next significant sibling, or nothing
if there is none.

=cut

sub snext_sibling {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    my $sib = $self;
    while ( defined ( $sib = $sib->next_sibling() ) ) {
	$sib->significant() and return $sib;
    }
    return;
}

=head2 sprevious_sibling

This method returns the element's previous significant sibling, or
nothing if there is none.

=cut

sub sprevious_sibling {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    my $sib = $self;
    while ( defined ( $sib = $sib->previous_sibling() ) ) {
	$sib->significant() and return $sib;
    }
    return;
}

=head2 tokens

This method returns all tokens contained in the element.

=cut

sub tokens {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    return $self;
}

=head2 top

This method returns the top of the hierarchy.

=cut

sub top {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    my $kid = $self;
    while ( defined ( my $parent = $kid->_parent() ) ) {
	$kid = $parent;
    }
    return $kid;
}

=head2 unescaped_content

This method returns the content of the element, unescaped.

=cut

sub unescaped_content {
    return;
}

=head2 whitespace

This method returns true if the element is whitespace and false
otherwise.

=cut

sub whitespace {
    return;
}

=head2 nav

This method returns navigation information from the top of the hierarchy
to this node. The return is a list of names of methods and references to
their argument lists. The idea is that given C<$elem> which is somewhere
under C<$top>,

 my @nav = $elem->nav();
 my $obj = $top;
 while ( @nav ) {
     my $method = shift @nav;
     my $args = shift @nav;
     $obj = $obj->$method( @{ $args } ) or die;
 }
 # At this point, $obj should contain the same object
 # as $elem.

=cut

sub nav {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    __instance( $self, __PACKAGE__ ) or return;

    # We do not use $self->parent() here because PPIx::Regexp overrides
    # this to return the (possibly) PPI object that initiated us.
    my $parent = $self->_parent() or return;

    return ( $parent->nav(), $parent->__nav( $self ) );
}

# Find our location and index among the parent's children. If not found,
# just returns.

{
    my %method_map = (
	children => 'child',
    );
    sub _my_inx {
	my ( $self ) = @_;
	my $parent = $self->_parent() or return;
	my $addr = refaddr( $self );
	foreach my $method ( qw{ children start type finish } ) {
	    $parent->can( $method ) or next;
	    my $inx = firstidx { refaddr $_ == $addr } $parent->$method();
	    $inx < 0 and next;
	    return ( $method_map{$method} || $method, $inx );
	}
	return;
    }
}

{
    my %parent;

    # no-argument form returns the parent; one-argument sets it.
    sub _parent {
	my ( $self, @arg ) = @_;
	my $addr = refaddr( $self );
	if ( @arg ) {
	    my $parent = shift @arg;
	    if ( defined $parent ) {
		__instance( $parent, __PACKAGE__ ) or return;
		weaken(
		    $parent{$addr} = $parent );
	    } else {
		delete $parent{$addr};
	    }
	}
	return $parent{$addr};
    }

    sub __parent_keys {
	return scalar keys %parent;
    }

}

# Bless into TOKEN_UNKNOWN, record error message, return 1.
sub __error {
    my ( $self, $msg ) = @_;
    defined $msg
	or $msg = 'Was ' . ref $self;
    $self->{error} = $msg;
    bless $self, TOKEN_UNKNOWN;

# Called by the lexer to record the capture number.
sub __PPIX_LEXER__record_capture_number {
    my ( undef, $number ) = @_;		# Invocant unused
    return $number;

# Called by the lexer to rebless
sub __PPIX_ELEM__rebless {
    my ( $class, $self ) = @_;		# %arg unused
    $self ||= {};
    bless $self, $class;
    delete $self->{error};
    defined $self->{error}
