}

=head2 normalise_string_hash

  Normalise strings used for hashes. We collapse LaTeX macros into a vestige
  so that hashes are unique between things like:

  Smith
  {\v S}mith

  we replace macros like this to preserve their vestiges:

  \v S -> v:
  \" -> 34:

=cut

sub normalise_string_hash {
  my $str = shift;
  return '' unless $str; # Sanitise missing data
  $str =~ s/\\(\p{L}+)\s*/$1:/g; # remove tex macros
  $str =~ s/\\([^\p{L}])\s*/ord($1).':'/ge; # remove accent macros like \"a
  $str =~ s/[\{\}~\.\s]+//g; # Remove brackes, ties, dots, spaces
  return $str;
}

=head2 normalise_string_underscore

  Like normalise_string, but also substitutes ~ and whitespace with underscore.

=cut

sub normalise_string_underscore {
  my $str = shift;
  return '' unless $str; # Sanitise missing data
  $str =~ s/([^\\])~/$1 /g; # Foo~Bar -> Foo Bar
  $str = normalise_string($str);
  $str =~ s/\s+/_/g;
  return $str;
}

=head2 escape_label

  Escapes a few special character which might be used in labels

=cut

sub escape_label {
  my $str = shift;
  return '' unless $str; # Sanitise missing data
  $str =~ s/([_\^\$\#\%\&])/\\$1/g;
  $str =~ s/~/{\\textasciitilde}/g;
  $str =~ s/>/{\\textgreater}/g;
  $str =~ s/</{\\textless}/g;
  return $str;
}

=head2 unescape_label

  Unscapes a few special character which might be used in label but which need
  sorting without escapes

=cut

sub unescape_label {
  my $str = shift;
  return '' unless $str; # Sanitise missing data
  $str =~ s/\\([_\^\$\~\#\%\&])/$1/g;
  $str =~ s/\{\\textasciitilde\}/~/g;
  $str =~ s/\{\\textgreater\}/>/g;
  $str =~ s/\{\\textless\}/</g;
  return $str;
}

=head2 reduce_array

reduce_array(\@a, \@b) returns all elements in @a that are not in @b

=cut

sub reduce_array {
  my ($a, $b) = @_;
  my %countb = ();
  foreach my $elem ($b->@*) {
    $countb{$elem}++;
  }
  my @result;
  foreach my $elem ($a->@*) {
    push @result, $elem unless $countb{$elem};
  }
  return @result;
}

=head2 remove_outer

    Remove surrounding curly brackets:
        '{string}' -> 'string'
    but not
        '{string} {string}' -> 'string} {string'

    Return (boolean if stripped, string)

=cut

sub remove_outer {
  my $str = shift;
  return (0, $str) if $str =~ m/}\s*{/;
  my $r = $str =~ s/^{(\X+)}$/$1/;
  return (($r ? 1 : 0), $str);
}

=head2 has_outer

    Return (boolean if surrounded in braces

=cut

sub has_outer {
  my $str = shift;
  return 0 if $str =~ m/}\s*{/;
  return $str =~ m/^{\X+}$/;
}

=head2 add_outer

    Add surrounding curly brackets:
        'string' -> '{string}'

=cut

sub add_outer {
  my $str = shift;
  return '{' . $str . '}';
}


=head2 ucinit

    upper case of initial letters in a string

=cut

sub ucinit {
  my $str = shift;
  $str = lc($str);
  $str =~ s/\b(\p{Ll})/\u$1/g;
  return $str;
}

=head2 is_undef

    Checks for undefness of arbitrary things, including
    composite method chain calls which don't reliably work
    with defined() (see perldoc for defined())
    This works because we are just testing the value passed
    to this sub. So, for example, this is randomly unreliable
    even if the resulting value of the arg to defined() is "undef":

    defined($thing->method($arg)->method)

    wheras:

    is_undef($thing->method($arg)->method)

    works since we only test the return value of all the methods
    with defined()

=cut

sub is_undef {
  my $val = shift;
  return defined($val) ? 0 : 1;
}

=head2 is_def

    Checks for definedness in the same way as is_undef()

}

=head2 is_undef_or_null

    Checks for undef or nullness (see is_undef() above)

=head2 is_def_and_notnull

    return 1;
  }
  else {
    return 0;

=head2 is_def_and_null

    Checks for def and nullness (see is_undef() above)

=cut

  my $ot = is_notnull_object($arg);
  if (defined($ot) and $ot) { return 1; }

=head2 is_notnull_scalar

    Checks for notnullness of a scalar

  unless (ref \$arg eq 'SCALAR') {
    return undef;
  }
  return $arg ne '' ? 1 : 0;
}

=head2 is_notnull_array

    Checks for notnullness of an array (passed by ref)

=cut

sub is_notnull_array {
  my $arg = shift;
  unless (ref $arg eq 'ARRAY') {
    return undef;
  }
  my @arr = $arg->@*;
  return $#arr > -1 ? 1 : 0;
}

=head2 is_notnull_hash

    Checks for notnullness of an hash (passed by ref)

=cut

sub is_notnull_hash {
  my $arg = shift;
  unless (ref $arg eq 'HASH') {

    $string .= "$k => $v, ";
  }
  # Take off the trailing comma and space
  chop $string;
  chop $string;
  return $string;
}

=head2 normalise_utf8

  Normalise any UTF-8 encoding string immediately to exactly what we want
  We want the strict perl utf8 "UTF-8"

=cut

sub normalise_utf8 {
  if (defined(Biber::Config->getoption('input_encoding')) and
      Biber::Config->getoption('input_encoding') =~ m/\Autf-?8\z/xmsi) {
