%
% A category code table enables rapid switching of all category codes in
% one operation. For \LuaTeX{}, this is possible over the entire Unicode
% range. For other engines, only the $8$-bit range ($0$--$255$) is covered by
% such tables. The implementation of category code tables in \pkg{expl3}
% also saves and restores the \TeX{} \tn{endlinechar} primitive value, meaning
% they could be used for example to implement \cs{ExplSyntaxOn}.

%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{cctab_new:N} \meta{category code table}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates a new \meta{category code table} variable or raises an error if
%   the name is already taken. The declaration is global.  The
%   \meta{category code table} is initialized with the codes
%   as used by \IniTeX{}.

%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates a new \meta{category code table}, applies (in a group) the
%   \meta{category code set up} on top of \IniTeX{} settings,
%   then saves them globally as a constant
%   table.  The \meta{category code set up} can include a call to
%   \cs{cctab_select:N}.

%   \end{syntax}
%   Starting from the \IniTeX{} category codes,
%   applies (in a group) the \meta{category code set up}, then saves them
%   globally in the \meta{category code table}.  The \meta{category code set up}
%   can include a call to \cs{cctab_select:N}.

%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2020-07-02]{\cctab_begin:N,\cctab_begin:c}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{cctab_begin:N} \meta{category code table}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Switches locally the category codes in force to those stored in the
%   \meta{category code table}.  The prevailing codes before the
%   function is called are added to a stack, for use with

%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2020-07-02]{\cctab_end:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{cctab_end:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Ends the scope of a \meta{category code table} started using
%   \cs{cctab_begin:N}, returning the codes to those in force before the
%   matching \cs{cctab_begin:N} was used.  This must be used within the
%   same \TeX{} group and at the same \TeX{} group level as the
%   matching \cs{cctab_begin:N}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2020-05-19, updated = 2020-07-02]{\cctab_select:N, \cctab_select:c}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{cctab_select:N} \meta{category code table}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Selects the \meta{category code table} for the scope of the current
%   group.  This is in particular useful in the \meta{setup} arguments
%   of \cs{tl_set_rescan:Nnn}, \cs{tl_rescan:nn}, \cs{cctab_const:Nn},
%   and \cs{cctab_gset:Nn}.

%   Tests whether the \meta{category code table} is currently defined.
%   This does not check that the \meta{category code table} really is a

%
% \section{Constant and scratch category code tables}
%
% \begin{variable}[updated = 2020-07-10]{\c_code_cctab}

%
% As \LuaTeX{} offers engine support for category code tables, and this
% is entirely lacking from the other engines, we need two complementary
% approaches. (Some future \XeTeX{} may add support, at which point the
% conditionals below would be different.)
%
% \subsection{Variables}
%
% \begin{variable}{\g_@@_stack_seq, \g_@@_unused_seq}
%   List of catcode tables saved by nested \cs{cctab_begin:N}, to
%   restore catcodes at the matching \cs{cctab_end:}.  When popped from
%   the \cs{g_@@_stack_seq} the table numbers are stored in
%   \cs{g_@@_unused_seq} for later reuse.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\seq_new:N \g_@@_stack_seq
\seq_new:N \g_@@_unused_seq
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{\g_@@_group_seq}
%   A stack to store the group level when a catcode table started.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\seq_new:N \g_@@_group_seq
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{\g_@@_allocate_int}
%   Integer to keep track of what category code table to allocate.  In
%   \LuaTeX{} it is only used in format mode to implement
%   \cs{cctab_new:N}.  In other engines it is used to make csnames for
%   dynamic tables.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\int_new:N  \g_@@_allocate_int
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{\l_@@_tmpa_tl,\l_@@_tmpb_tl}
%   Scratch space.  For instance, when popping
%   \cs{g_@@_stack_seq}/\cs{g_@@_unused_seq}, consists of the
%   catcodetable number (integer denotation) in \LuaTeX{}, or of an
%   intarray variable (as a single token) in other engines.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\tl_new:N \l_@@_tmpa_tl
\tl_new:N \l_@@_tmpb_tl
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{\g_@@_endlinechar_prop}
%   In \LuaTeX{} we store the \tn{endlinechar} associated to each
%   \tn{catcodetable} in a property list, unless it is the default
%   value~$13$.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\prop_new:N \g_@@_endlinechar_prop
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{variable}
%
% \subsection{Allocating category code tables}
%
% \begin{macro}{\cctab_new:N, \cctab_new:c, \@@_new:N, \@@_gstore:Nnn}
%   The \cs{@@_new:N} auxiliary allocates a new catcode table but does
%   not attempt to set its value consistently across engines.  It is
%   used both in \cs{cctab_new:N}, which sets catcodes to \IniTeX{}
%   values, and in \cs{cctab_begin:N}/\cs{cctab_end:} for dynamically
%   allocated tables.
%
%   First, the \LuaTeX{} case.
%   Creating a new category code table is done like other registers.
%   In Con\TeX{}t, \tn{newcatcodetable} does not include the initialization,
%   so that is added explicitly.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\sys_if_engine_luatex:TF
  {
    \cs_new_protected:Npn \cctab_new:N #1
      {
        \__kernel_chk_if_free_cs:N #1
        \@@_new:N #1
      }
    \cs_new_protected:Npn \@@_new:N #1
      {
        \newcatcodetable #1
        \tex_initcatcodetable:D #1
      }
  }
%    \end{macrocode}
%   Now the case for other engines. Here, each table is an integer
%   array.  Following the \LuaTeX{} pattern, a new table starts with
%   \IniTeX{} codes.  The \cs{debug_suspend:} and \cs{debug_resume:}
%   functions prevent errors and logging from \texttt{debug} commands
%   which are either duplicate or false when \cs{@@_new:N} is used
%   by \cs{cctab_new:N} or \cs{cctab_const:Nn}.
%   The index base is out-by-one, so we have an
%   internal function to handle that.  The \IniTeX{} \tn{endlinechar} is
%   $13$.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  {
    \cs_new_protected:Npn \@@_new:N #1
      {
        \debug_suspend:
        \intarray_new:Nn #1 { 257 }
        \debug_resume:
      }
    \cs_new_protected:Npn \@@_gstore:Nnn #1#2#3
      { \intarray_gset:Nnn #1 { #2 + 1 } {#3} }
    \cs_new_protected:Npn \cctab_new:N #1
      {
        \__kernel_chk_if_free_cs:N #1
        \@@_new:N #1
        \int_step_inline:nn { 256 }
          { \__kernel_intarray_gset:Nnn #1 {##1} { 12 } }
        \__kernel_intarray_gset:Nnn #1 { 257 } { 13 }
        \@@_gstore:Nnn #1 { 0 } { 9 }
        \@@_gstore:Nnn #1 { 13 } { 5 }
        \@@_gstore:Nnn #1 { 32 } { 10 }
        \@@_gstore:Nnn #1 { 37 } { 14 }
        \int_step_inline:nnn { 65 } { 90 }
          { \@@_gstore:Nnn #1 {##1} { 11 } }
        \@@_gstore:Nnn #1 { 92 } { 0 }
        \int_step_inline:nnn { 97 } { 122 }
          { \@@_gstore:Nnn #1 {##1} { 11 } }
        \@@_gstore:Nnn #1 { 127 } { 15 }
      }
  }
\cs_generate_variant:Nn \cctab_new:N { c }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \subsection{Saving category code tables}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@@_gset:n, \@@_gset_aux:n}
%   In various functions we need to save the current catcodes (globally)
%   in a table.  In \LuaTeX{}, saving the catcodes is a primitives, but
%   the \tn{endlinechar} needs more work: to avoid filling
%   \cs{g_@@_endlinechar_prop} with many entries we special-case the
%   default value $13$.  In other engines we store $256$ current
%   catcodes and the \tn{endlinechar} in an intarray variable.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\sys_if_engine_luatex:TF
  {
    \cs_new_protected:Npn \@@_gset:n #1
      { \exp_args:Nf \@@_gset_aux:n { \int_eval:n {#1} } }
    \cs_new_protected:Npn \@@_gset_aux:n #1
      {
        \tex_savecatcodetable:D #1 \scan_stop:
        \int_compare:nNnTF { \tex_endlinechar:D } = { 13 }
          { \prop_gremove:Nn \g_@@_endlinechar_prop {#1} }
          {
            \prop_gput:NnV \g_@@_endlinechar_prop {#1}
              \tex_endlinechar:D
          }
      }
  }
  {
    \cs_new_protected:Npn \@@_gset:n #1
      {
        \int_step_inline:nn { 256 }
          {
            \__kernel_intarray_gset:Nnn #1 {##1}
              { \char_value_catcode:n { ##1 - 1 } }
          }
        \__kernel_intarray_gset:Nnn #1 { 257 }
          { \tex_endlinechar:D }
      }
  }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\cctab_gset:Nn, \cctab_gset:cn}
%   Category code tables are always global, so only one version of
%   assignments is needed.  Simply run the setup in a group and save the
%   result in a category code table~|#1|, provided it is valid.  The
%   internal function is defined above depending on the engine.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \cctab_gset:Nn #1#2
  {
    \@@_chk_if_valid:NT #1
      {
        \group_begin:
          \cctab_select:N \c_initex_cctab
          #2 \scan_stop:
          \@@_gset:n {#1}
        \group_end:
      }
  }
\cs_generate_variant:Nn \cctab_gset:Nn { c }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\cctab_gsave_current:N, \cctab_gsave_current:c}
%   Very simple.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \cctab_gsave_current:N #1
  {
    \@@_chk_if_valid:NT #1
      { \@@_gset:n {#1} }
  }
\cs_generate_variant:Nn \cctab_gsave_current:N { c }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \subsection{Using category code tables}
%
% \begin{variable}{\g_@@_tmp_cctab}
% \begin{macro}[EXP]{\@@_tmp_cctab_name: }
%   In \LuaTeX{}, we must ensure that the saved tables are read-only.
%   This is done by applying the saved table, then switching immediately
%   to a scratch table.  Any later catcode assignment will affect that
%   scratch table rather than the saved one.  If we simply switched to
%   the saved tables, then \cs{char_set_catcode_other:N} in the example
%   below would change \cs{c_document_cctab} and a later use of that
%   table would give the wrong category code to |_|.
% \begin{verbatim}
% \use:n
%   {
%     \cctab_begin:N \c_document_cctab
%       \char_set_catcode_other:N \_
%     \cctab_end:
%     \cctab_begin:N \c_document_cctab
%       \int_compare:nTF { \char_value_catcode:n { `_ } = 8 }
%         { \TRUE } { \ERROR }
%     \cctab_end:
%   }
% \end{verbatim}
%   We must also make sure that a scratch table is never reused in a
%   nested group: in the following example, the scratch table used by
%   the first \cs{cctab_begin:N} would be changed globally by the second
%   one issuing \tn{savecatcodetable}, and after \cs{group_end:} the
%   wrong category codes (those of \cs{c_str_cctab}) would be imposed.
%   Note that the inner \cs{cctab_end:} restores the correct catcodes
%   only locally, so the problem really comes up because of the
%   different grouping level.  The simplest is to use a scratch table
%   labeled by the \tn{currentgrouplevel}.  We initialize one of them as
%   an example.
% \begin{verbatim}
% \use:n
%   {
%     \cctab_begin:N \c_document_cctab
%       \group_begin:
%         \cctab_begin:N \c_str_cctab
%         \cctab_end:
%       \group_end:
%     \cctab_end:
%   }

% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{macro}{\cctab_select:N, \cctab_select:c}
% \begin{macro}{\@@_select:N}
%   The public function simply checks the \meta{cctab~var} exists before
%   using the engine-dependent \cs{@@_select:N}.  Skipping these checks
%   would result in low-level engine-dependent errors.  First, the

%   \cs{l_@@_tmpa_tl}.  In \LuaTeX{} this simply calls \cs{@@_new:N}
%   and uses the resulting catcodetable number; in other engines we need
%   to give a name to the intarray variable and use that.  In \LuaTeX{},
%   to restore catcodes at \cs{cctab_end:} we cannot just set
%   \tn{catcodetable} to its value before \cs{cctab_begin:N}, because
%   that table may have been altered by other code in the mean time.  So

%   {\@@_chk_group_begin:n,\@@_chk_group_begin:e, \@@_chk_group_end:n}
%   Catcode tables are not allowed to be intermixed with groups, so here
%   we check that they are properly nested regarding \TeX{} groups.
%   \cs{@@_chk_group_begin:n} stores the current group level in a stack,
%   and locally defines a dummy control sequence
%   \cs[no-index]{@@_group_\meta{cctab-level}_chk:}.
%
%   \cs{@@_chk_group_end:n} pops the stack, and compares the returned
%   value with \cs{tex_currentgrouplevel:D}.  If they differ,
%   \cs{cctab_end:} is in a different grouping level than the matching
%   \cs{cctab_begin:N}.  If they are the same, both happened at the same
%   level, however a group might have ended and another started between
%   \cs{cctab_begin:N} and \cs{cctab_end:}:
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \group_begin:
%     \cctab_begin:N \c_document_cctab
%   \group_end:
%   \group_begin:
%     \cctab_end:
%   \group_end:
% \end{verbatim}
%   In this case checking \cs{tex_currentgrouplevel:D} is not enough, so
%   we locally define \cs[no-index]{@@_group_\meta{cctab-level}_chk:},
%   and then check if it exist in \cs{cctab_end:}.  If it doesn't,
%   we know there was a group end where it shouldn't.
%
%   The \meta{cctab-level} in the sentinel macro above cannot be
%   replaced by the more convenient \cs{tex_currentgrouplevel:D} because
%   with the latter we might be tricked.  Suppose:
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \group_begin:
%     \cctab_begin:N \c_code_cctab % A
%   \group_end:
%   \group_begin:
%     \cctab_begin:N \c_code_cctab % B
%     \cctab_end: % C
%     \cctab_end: % D
%   \group_end:
% \end{verbatim}
%   The line marked with |A| would start a |cctab| with a sentinel token
%   named \cs[no-index]{@@_group_1_chk:}, which would disappear at the
%   \cs{group_end:} that follows.  But |B| would create the same
%   sentinel token, since both are at the same group level.  Line |C|
%   would end the |cctab| from line |B| correctly, but so would line |D|
%   because line |B| created the same sentinel token.  Using
%   \meta{cctab-level} works correctly because it signals that certain
%   |cctab| level was activated somewhere, but if it doesn't exist when
%   the \cs{cctab_end:} is reached, we had a problem.
%
%   Unfortunately these tests only flag the wrong usage at the
%   \cs{cctab_end:}, which might be far from the \cs{cctab_begin:N}.
%   However it isn't possible to signal the wrong usage at the
%   \cs{group_end:} without using \cs{tex_aftergroup:D}, which is
%   unsafe in certain types of groups.
%
%   The three cases checked here just raise an error, and no recovery is
%   attempted:  usually interleaving groups and catcode tables will work
%   predictably.
