  (* Scanning from an input channel. *)

  (* Position of the problem:

     We cannot prevent the scanning mechanism to use one lookahead character,
     if needed by the semantics of the format string specifications (e.g. a
     trailing ``skip space'' specification in the format string); in this case,
     the mandatory lookahead character is indeed read from the input and not
     used to return the token read. It is thus mandatory to be able to store
     an unused lookahead character somewhere to get it as the first character
     of the next scan.

     To circumvent this problem, all the scanning functions get a low level
     input buffer argument where they store the lookahead character when
     needed; additionally, the input buffer is the only source of character of
     a scanner. The [scanbuf] input buffers are defined in module {!Scanning}.

     Now we understand that it is extremely important that related successive
     calls to scanners indeed read from the same input buffer. In effect, if a
     scanner [scan1] is reading from [ib1] and stores an unused lookahead
     character [c1] into its input buffer [ib1], then another scanner [scan2]
     not reading from the same buffer [ib1] will miss the character [c],
     seemingly vanished in the air from the point of view of [scan2].

     This mechanism works perfectly to read from strings, from files, and from
     functions, since in those cases, allocating two buffers reading from the
     same source is unnatural.

     Still, there is a difficulty in the case of scanning from an input
     channel. In effect, when scanning from an input channel [ic], this channel
     may not have been allocated from within this library. Hence, it may be
     shared (two functions of the user's program may successively read from
     [ic]). This is highly error prone since, one of the function may seek the
     input channel, while the other function has still an unused lookahead
     character in its input buffer. In conclusion, you should never mix direct
     low level reading and high level scanning from the same input channel.

     This phenomenon of reading mess is even worse when one defines more than
     one scanning buffer reading from the same input channel
     [ic]. Unfortunately, we have no simple way to get rid of this problem
     (unless the basic input channel API is modified to offer a ``consider this
     char as unread'' procedure to keep back the unused lookahead character as
     available in the input channel for further reading).

     To prevent some of the confusion the scanning buffer allocation function
     is a memo function that never allocates two different scanning buffers for
     the same input channel. This way, the user can naively perform successive
     call to [fscanf] below, without allocating a new scanning buffer at each
     invocation and hence preserving the expected semantics.

     As mentioned above, a more ambitious fix could be to change the input
     channel API to allow arbitrary mixing of direct and formatted reading from
     input channels. *)

  (* The scanning buffer reading from [Pervasives.stdin].
     One could try to define [stdib] as a scanning buffer reading a character at a
     time (no bufferization at all), but unfortunately the top-level
     interaction would be wrong.
     This is due to some kind of ``race condition'' when reading from [Pervasives.stdin],
     since the interactive compiler and [scanf] will simultaneously read the
     material they need from [Pervasives.stdin]; then, confusion will result from what should
     be read by the top-level and what should be read by [scanf].
     This is even more complicated by the one character lookahead that [scanf]
     is sometimes obliged to maintain: the lookahead character will be available
     for the next ([scanf]) entry, seemingly coming from nowhere.
     Also no [End_of_file] is raised when reading from stdin: if not enough
     characters have been read, we simply ask to read more. *)

(*
    For the time being we have (as found in scanf.mli):
    The field width is composed of an optional integer literal
    indicating the maximal width of the token to read.
    Unfortunately, the type-checker let the user write an optional precision,
    since this is valid for printf format strings.

   Thus, the next step for Scanf is to support a full width indication, more
   or less similar to the one for printf, possibly extended to the
   specification of a [max, min] range for the width of the token read for
   strings. Something like the following spec for scanf.mli:

   The optional [width] is an integer indicating the maximal
   width of the token read. For instance, [%6d] reads an integer,
   having at most 6 characters.

   The optional [precision] is a dot [.] followed by an integer:
   - in the floating point number conversions ([%f], [%e], [%g], [%F], [%E], and
   [%F] conversions, the [precision] indicates the maximum number of digits
   that may follow the decimal point. For instance, [%.4f] reads a [float]
   with at most 4 fractional digits,
   - in the string conversions ([%s], [%S], [%\[ range \]]), and in the
   integer number conversions ([%i], [%d], [%u], [%x], [%o], and their
   [int32], [int64], and [native_int] correspondent), the
   [precision] indicates the required minimum width of the token read,
   - on all other conversions, the width and precision are meaningless and
   ignored (FIXME: lead to a runtime error ? type checking error ?).

(* The [scan_format] main scanning function.

     - an input buffer [ib] from which to read characters,
     - an error handling function [ef],
     - a format [fmt] that specifies what to read in the input,
     - a vector of user's defined readers [rv],
     - and a function [f] to pass the tokens read to.

   Then [scan_format] scans the format and the input buffer in parallel to
   find out tokens as specified by the format; when it finds one token, it
   converts it as specified, remembers the converted value as a future
   argument to the function [f], and continues scanning.

   If the entire scanning succeeds (i.e. the format string has been
   exhausted and the buffer has provided tokens according to the
   format string), [f] is applied to the tokens read.

   If the scanning or some conversion fails, the main scanning function
   aborts and applies the scanning buffer and a string that explains
   the error to the error handling function [ef] (the error continuation). *)
