@* \[1] Introduction.
This is \MP, a graphics-language processor based on D. E. Knuth's \MF.
The \PASCAL\ program that follows defines a standard version
@:PASCAL}{\PASCAL@>
of \MP\ that is designed to be highly portable so that identical output
will be obtainable on a great variety of computers.

The main purpose of the following program is to explain the algorithms of \MP\
as clearly as possible. As a result, the program will not necessarily be very
efficient when a particular \PASCAL\ compiler has translated it into a
particular machine language. However, the program has been written so that it
can be tuned to run efficiently in a wide variety of operating environments
by making comparatively few changes. Such flexibility is possible because
the documentation that follows is written in the \.{WEB} language, which is
at a higher level than \PASCAL; the preprocessing step that converts \.{WEB}
to \PASCAL\ is able to introduce most of the necessary refinements.
Semi-automatic translation to other languages is also feasible, because the
program below does not make extensive use of features that are peculiar to
\PASCAL.

A large piece of software like \MP\ has inherent complexity that cannot
be reduced below a certain level of difficulty, although each individual
part is fairly simple by itself. The \.{WEB} language is intended to make
the algorithms as readable as possible, by reflecting the way the
individual program pieces fit together and by providing the
cross-references that connect different parts. Detailed comments about
what is going on, and about why things were done in certain ways, have
been liberally sprinkled throughout the program.  These comments explain
features of the implementation, but they rarely attempt to explain the
\MP\ language itself, since the reader is supposed to be familiar with
{\sl The {\logos METAFONT\/}book} as well as the manual
@.WEB@>
@:METAFONTbook}{\sl The {\logos METAFONT\/}book@>
{\sl A User's Manual for MetaPost}, Computing Science Technical Report 162,
AT\AM T Bell Laboratories.

@ The present implementation is a preliminary version, but the possibilities
for new features are limited by the desire to remain as nearly compatible
with \MF\ as possible.

On the other hand, the \.{WEB} description can be extended without changing
the core of the program, and it has been designed so that such
extensions are not extremely difficult to make.
The |banner| string defined here should be changed whenever \MP\
undergoes any modifications, so that it will be clear which version of
\MP\ might be the guilty party when a problem arises.
@^extensions to \MP@>
@^system dependencies@>

@d banner "This is MetaPost, Version 1.002" /* printed when \MP\ starts */
@d metapost_version "1.002"
@d mplib_version "0.10"
@d version_string " (Cweb version 0.10)"

@ Different \PASCAL s have slightly different conventions, and the present
@:PASCAL H}{\ph@>
program is expressed in a version of \PASCAL\ that D. E. Knuth used for \MF.
Constructions that apply to
this particular compiler, which we shall call \ph, should help the
reader see how to make an appropriate interface for other systems
if necessary. (\ph\ is Charles Hedrick's modification of a compiler
@^Hedrick, Charles Locke@>
for the DECsystem-10 that was originally developed at the University of
Hamburg; cf.\ {\sl SOFTWARE---Practice \AM\ Experience \bf6} (1976),
29--42. The \MP\ program below is intended to be adaptable, without
extensive changes, to most other versions of \PASCAL\ and commonly used
\PASCAL-to-C translators, so it does not fully
@:C@>
use the admirable features of \ph. Indeed, a conscious effort has been
made here to avoid using several idiosyncratic features of standard
\PASCAL\ itself, so that most of the code can be translated mechanically
into other high-level languages. For example, the `\&{with}' and `\\{new}'
features are not used, nor are pointer types, set types, or enumerated
scalar types; there are no `\&{var}' parameters, except in the case of files;
there are no tag fields on variant records; there are no |real| variables;
no procedures are declared local to other procedures.)

The portions of this program that involve system-dependent code, where
changes might be necessary because of differences between \PASCAL\ compilers
and/or differences between
operating systems, can be identified by looking at the sections whose
numbers are listed under `system dependencies' in the index. Furthermore,
the index entries for `dirty \PASCAL' list all places where the restrictions
of \PASCAL\ have not been followed perfectly, for one reason or another.
@^system dependencies@>
@^dirty \PASCAL@>

@ The program begins with a normal \PASCAL\ program heading, whose
components will be filled in later, using the conventions of \.{WEB}.
@.WEB@>
For example, the portion of the program called `\X\glob:Global
variables\X' below will be replaced by a sequence of variable declarations
that starts in $\section\glob$ of this documentation. In this way, we are able
to define each individual global variable when we are prepared to
understand what it means; we do not have to define all of the globals at
once.  Cross references in $\section\glob$, where it says ``See also
sections \gglob, \dots,'' also make it possible to look at the set of
all global variables, if desired.  Similar remarks apply to the other
portions of the program heading.

Actually the heading shown here is not quite normal: The |program| line
does not mention any |output| file, because \ph\ would ask the \MP\ user
to specify a file name if |output| were specified here.

@ The overall \MP\ program begins with the heading just shown, after which
comes a bunch of procedure declarations and function declarations.
Finally we will get to the main program, which begins with the
comment `|start_here|'. If you want to skip down to the
main program now, you can look up `|start_here|' in the index.
But the author suggests that the best way to understand this program
is to follow pretty much the order of \MP's components as they appear in the
\.{WEB} description you are now reading, since the present ordering is
intended to combine the advantages of the ``bottom up'' and ``top down''
approaches to the problem of understanding a somewhat complicated system.

@ Some of the code below is intended to be used only when diagnosing the
strange behavior that sometimes occurs when \MP\ is being installed or
when system wizards are fooling around with \MP\ without quite knowing
what they are doing. Such code will not normally be compiled; it is
delimited by the preprocessor test `|#ifdef DEBUG .. #endif|'.

@ This program has two important variations: (1) There is a long and slow
version called \.{INIMP}, which does the extra calculations needed to
@.INIMP@>
initialize \MP's internal tables; and (2)~there is a shorter and faster
production version, which cuts the initialization to a bare minimum.

Which is which is decided at runtime.

@ The following parameters can be changed at compile time to extend or
reduce \MP's capacity. They may have different values in \.{INIMP} and
in production versions of \MP.
@.INIMP@>
@^system dependencies@>

@<Constants...@>=
#define file_name_size 255 /* file names shouldn't be longer than this */
#define bistack_size 1500 /* size of stack for bisection algorithms;
  should probably be left at this value */

@ Like the preceding parameters, the following quantities can be changed
at compile time to extend or reduce \MP's capacity. But if they are changed,
it is necessary to rerun the initialization program \.{INIMP}
@.INIMP@>
to generate new tables for the production \MP\ program.
One can't simply make helter-skelter changes to the following constants,
since certain rather complex initialization
numbers are computed from them. 

@ @<Glob...@>=
int max_strings; /* maximum number of strings; must not exceed |max_halfword| */
int pool_size; /* maximum number of characters in strings, including all
  error messages and help texts, and the names of all identifiers */
int error_line; /* width of context lines on terminal error messages */
int half_error_line; /* width of first lines of contexts in terminal
  error messages; should be between 30 and |error_line-15| */
int max_print_line; /* width of longest text lines output; should be at least 60 */
int mem_max; /* greatest index in \MP's internal |mem| array;
  must be strictly less than |max_halfword|;
  must be equal to |mem_top| in \.{INIMP}, otherwise |>=mem_top| */
int mem_top; /* largest index in the |mem| array dumped by \.{INIMP};
  must not be greater than |mem_max| */
int hash_size; /* maximum number of symbolic tokens,
  must be less than |max_halfword-3*param_size| */
int hash_prime; /* a prime number equal to about 85\pct! of |hash_size| */
int param_size; /* maximum number of simultaneous macro parameters */
int max_in_open; /* maximum number of input files and error insertions that
  can be going on simultaneously */

int max_print_line;
int main_memory;
int hash_size; 
int hash_prime; 
int param_size; 
int max_in_open; 

@ 
@d set_value(a,b,c) do { a=c; if (b>c) a=b; } while (0)

@<Allocate or ...@>=
mp->max_strings=500;

@ In case somebody has inadvertently made bad settings of the ``constants,''
\MP\ checks them using a global variable called |bad|.

This is the first of many sections of \MP\ where global variables are
defined.

@<Glob...@>=
integer bad; /* is some ``constant'' wrong? */

@ Later on we will say `\ignorespaces|if (mem_max>=max_halfword) bad=10;|',
or something similar. (We can't do that until |max_halfword| has been defined.)

@<Check the ``constant'' values for consistency@>=
mp->bad=0;
if ( (mp->half_error_line<30)||(mp->half_error_line>mp->error_line-15) ) mp->bad=1;
if ( mp->max_print_line<60 ) mp->bad=2;
if ( mp->mem_top<=1100 ) mp->bad=4;
if (mp->hash_prime>mp->hash_size ) mp->bad=5;

@ Labels are given symbolic names by the following definitions, so that
occasional |goto| statements will be meaningful. We insert the label
`|exit|:' just before the `\ignorespaces|end|\unskip' of a procedure in
which we have used the `|return|' statement defined below; the label
`|restart|' is occasionally used at the very beginning of a procedure; and
the label `|reswitch|' is occasionally used just prior to a |case|
statement in which some cases change the conditions and we wish to branch
to the newly applicable case.  Loops that are set up with the |loop|
construction defined below are commonly exited by going to `|done|' or to
`|found|' or to `|not_found|', and they are sometimes repeated by going to
`|continue|'.  If two or more parts of a subroutine start differently but
end up the same, the shared code may be gathered together at
`|common_ending|'.

Incidentally, this program never declares a label that isn't actually used,
because some fussy \PASCAL\ compilers will complain about redundant labels.

@d label_exit 10 /* go here to leave a procedure */
@d restart 20 /* go here to start a procedure again */
@d reswitch 21 /* go here to start a case statement again */
@d continue 22 /* go here to resume a loop */

@d done1 31 /* like |done|, when there is more than one loop */

@d done3 33 /* for exiting the third loop in a very long block */
@d done4 34 /* for exiting the fourth loop in an extremely long block */
@d done5 35 /* for exiting the fifth loop in an immense block */
@d done6 36 /* for exiting the sixth loop in a block */

@d not_found 45 /* go here when you've found nothing */
@d common_ending 50 /* go here when you want to merge with another branch */

@ Here are some macros for common programming idioms.

@d incr(A)   (A)=(A)+1 /* increase a variable by unity */
@d decr(A)   (A)=(A)-1 /* decrease a variable by unity */
@d negate(A)   (A)=-(A) /* change the sign of a variable */

@d do_nothing   /* empty statement */
@d Return   goto exit /* terminate a procedure call */
@f return   nil /* \.{WEB} will henceforth say |return| instead of \\{return} */

@* \[2] The character set.
In order to make \MP\ readily portable to a wide variety of
computers, all of its input text is converted to an internal eight-bit
code that includes standard ASCII, the ``American Standard Code for
Information Interchange.''  This conversion is done immediately when each
character is read in. Conversely, characters are converted from ASCII to
the user's external representation just before they are output to a
text file.
@^ASCII code@>

Such an internal code is relevant to users of \MP\ only with respect to
the \&{char} and \&{ASCII} operations, and the comparison of strings.

@ Characters of text that have been converted to \MP's internal form
are said to be of type |ASCII_code|, which is a subrange of the integers.

@<Types...@>=
typedef unsigned char ASCII_code; /* eight-bit numbers */

@ The original \PASCAL\ compiler was designed in the late 60s, when six-bit
character sets were common, so it did not make provision for lowercase
letters. Nowadays, of course, we need to deal with both capital and small
letters in a convenient way, especially in a program for font design;
so the present specification of \MP\ has been written under the assumption
that the \PASCAL\ compiler and run-time system permit the use of text files
with more than 64 distinguishable characters. More precisely, we assume that
the character set contains at least the letters and symbols associated
with ASCII codes 040 through 0176; all of these characters are now
available on most computer terminals.

Since we are dealing with more characters than were present in the first
\PASCAL\ compilers, we have to decide what to call the associated data
type. Some \PASCAL s use the original name |char| for the
characters in text files, even though there now are more than 64 such
characters, while other \PASCAL s consider |char| to be a 64-element
subrange of a larger data type that has some other name.

In order to accommodate this difference, we shall use the name |text_char|
to stand for the data type of the characters that are converted to and
from |ASCII_code| when they are input and output. We shall also assume
that |text_char| consists of the elements |chr(first_text_char)| through
|chr(last_text_char)|, inclusive. The following definitions should be
adjusted if necessary.
@^system dependencies@>

@d first_text_char 0 /* ordinal number of the smallest element of |text_char| */
@d last_text_char 255 /* ordinal number of the largest element of |text_char| */

@<Types...@>=
typedef unsigned char text_char; /* the data type of characters in text files */

@ @<Local variables for init...@>=
integer i;

@ The \MP\ processor converts between ASCII code and
the user's external character set by means of arrays |xord| and |xchr|
that are analogous to \PASCAL's |ord| and |chr| functions.

@<Glob...@>=
ASCII_code xord[256];  /* specifies conversion of input characters */
text_char xchr[256];  /* specifies conversion of output characters */

@ The core system assumes all 8-bit is acceptable.  If it is not,
a change file has to alter the below section.
@^system dependencies@>

Additionally, people with extended character sets can
assign codes arbitrarily, giving an |xchr| equivalent to whatever
characters the users of \MP\ are allowed to have in their input files.
Appropriate changes to \MP's |char_class| table should then be made.
(Unlike \TeX, each installation of \MP\ has a fixed assignment of category
codes, called the |char_class|.) Such changes make portability of programs
more difficult, so they should be introduced cautiously if at all.
@^character set dependencies@>
@^system dependencies@>

@<Set initial ...@>=
for (i=0;i<=0377;i++) { mp->xchr[i]=i; }

@ The following system-independent code makes the |xord| array contain a
suitable inverse to the information in |xchr|. Note that if |xchr[i]=xchr[j]|
where |i<j<0177|, the value of |xord[xchr[i]]| will turn out to be
|j| or more; hence, standard ASCII code numbers will be used instead of
codes below 040 in case there is a coincidence.

@<Set initial ...@>=
for (i=first_text_char;i<=last_text_char;i++) { 
   mp->xord[chr(i)]=0177;
}
for (i=0200;i<=0377;i++) { mp->xord[mp->xchr[i]]=i;}
for (i=0;i<=0176;i++) {mp->xord[mp->xchr[i]]=i;}

@* \[3] Input and output.
The bane of portability is the fact that different operating systems treat
input and output quite differently, perhaps because computer scientists
have not given sufficient attention to this problem. People have felt somehow
that input and output are not part of ``real'' programming. Well, it is true
that some kinds of programming are more fun than others. With existing
input/output conventions being so diverse and so messy, the only sources of
joy in such parts of the code are the rare occasions when one can find a
way to make the program a little less bad than it might have been. We have
two choices, either to attack I/O now and get it over with, or to postpone
I/O until near the end. Neither prospect is very attractive, so let's
get it over with.

The basic operations we need to do are (1)~inputting and outputting of
text, to or from a file or the user's terminal; (2)~inputting and
outputting of eight-bit bytes, to or from a file; (3)~instructing the
operating system to initiate (``open'') or to terminate (``close'') input or
output from a specified file; (4)~testing whether the end of an input
file has been reached; (5)~display of bits on the user's screen.
The bit-display operation will be discussed in a later section; we shall
deal here only with more traditional kinds of I/O.

@ Finding files happens in a slightly roundabout fashion: the \MP\
instance object contains a field that holds a function pointer that finds a
file, and returns its name, or NULL. For this, it receives three
parameters: the non-qualified name |fname|, the intended |fopen|
operation type |fmode|, and the type of the file |ftype|.

The file types that are passed on in |ftype| can be  used to 
differentiate file searches if a library like kpathsea is used,
the fopen mode is passed along for the same reason.

@ Binary input and output are done with \PASCAL's ordinary |get| and |put|
procedures, so we don't have to make any other special arrangements for
binary~I/O. Text output is also easy to do with standard \PASCAL\ routines.
The treatment of text input is more difficult, however, because
of the necessary translation to |ASCII_code| values.
\MP's conventions should be efficient, and they should
blend nicely with the user's operating environment.

@ Input from text files is read one line at a time, using a routine called
|input_ln|. This function is defined in terms of global variables called
|buffer|, |first|, and |last| that will be described in detail later; for
now, it suffices for us to know that |buffer| is an array of |ASCII_code|
values, and that |first| and |last| are indices into this array
representing the beginning and ending of a line of text.

@<Glob...@>=
size_t buf_size; /* maximum number of characters simultaneously present in
                    current lines of open files */
ASCII_code *buffer; /* lines of characters being read */
size_t first; /* the first unused position in |buffer| */
size_t last; /* end of the line just input to |buffer| */
size_t max_buf_stack; /* largest index used in |buffer| */

@ @<Allocate or initialize ...@>=
mp->buf_size = 200;
mp->buffer = xmalloc((mp->buf_size+1),sizeof(ASCII_code));

@ @<Dealloc variables@>=
xfree(mp->buffer);

@ @c
void mp_reallocate_buffer(MP mp, size_t l) {
  ASCII_code *buffer;
  if (l>max_halfword) {
    mp_confusion(mp,"buffer size"); /* can't happen (I hope) */
  }
  buffer = xmalloc((l+1),sizeof(ASCII_code));
  memcpy(buffer,mp->buffer,(mp->buf_size+1));
  xfree(mp->buffer);
  mp->buffer = buffer ;
  mp->buf_size = l;
}

@ The |input_ln| function brings the next line of input from the specified
field into available positions of the buffer array and returns the value
|true|, unless the file has already been entirely read, in which case it
returns |false| and sets |last:=first|.  In general, the |ASCII_code|
numbers that represent the next line of the file are input into
|buffer[first]|, |buffer[first+1]|, \dots, |buffer[last-1]|; and the
global variable |last| is set equal to |first| plus the length of the
line. Trailing blanks are removed from the line; thus, either |last=first|
(in which case the line was entirely blank) or |buffer[last-1]<>" "|.
@^inner loop@>

An overflow error is given, however, if the normal actions of |input_ln|
would make |last>=buf_size|; this is done so that other parts of \MP\
can safely look at the contents of |buffer[last+1]| without overstepping
the bounds of the |buffer| array. Upon entry to |input_ln|, the condition
|first<buf_size| will always hold, so that there is always room for an
``empty'' line.

The variable |max_buf_stack|, which is used to keep track of how large
the |buf_size| parameter must be to accommodate the present job, is
also kept up to date by |input_ln|.

If the |bypass_eoln| parameter is |true|, |input_ln| will do a |get|
before looking at the first character of the line; this skips over
an |eoln| that was in |f^|. The procedure does not do a |get| when it
reaches the end of the line; therefore it can be used to acquire input
from the user's terminal as well as from ordinary text files.

Standard \PASCAL\ says that a file should have |eoln| immediately
before |eof|, but \MP\ needs only a weaker restriction: If |eof|
occurs in the middle of a line, the system function |eoln| should return
a |true| result (even though |f^| will be undefined).

@c 
boolean mp_input_ln (MP mp,FILE *  f, boolean bypass_eoln) {
  /* inputs the next line or returns |false| */
  int last_nonblank; /* |last| with trailing blanks removed */
  int c;
  if ( bypass_eoln ) {
    c = fgetc(f);
    if (c==EOF)
      return false;
    if (c!='\n' && c!='\r') {
      ungetc(c,f);
    }
  }
  /* input the first character of the line into |f^| */
  mp->last=mp->first; /* cf.\ Matthew 19\thinspace:\thinspace30 */
  c = fgetc(f);
  if (c==EOF)
        return false;
  last_nonblank=mp->first;
  while (c!=EOF && c!='\n' && c!='\r') { 
    if ( mp->last>=mp->max_buf_stack ) { 
      mp->max_buf_stack=mp->last+1;
      if ( mp->max_buf_stack==mp->buf_size ) {
        mp_reallocate_buffer(mp,(mp->buf_size+(mp->buf_size>>2)));
      }
    }
    mp->buffer[mp->last]=mp->xord[c]; 
    incr(mp->last);
    if ( mp->buffer[mp->last-1]!=' ' ) 
      last_nonblank=mp->last;
    c = fgetc(f); 
  }

@ The user's terminal acts essentially like other files of text, except
that it is used both for input and for output. When the terminal is
considered an input file, the file variable is called |term_in|, and when it
is considered an output file the file variable is |term_out|.
@^system dependencies@>

@<Glob...@>=
FILE * term_in; /* the terminal as an input file */
FILE * term_out; /* the terminal as an output file */

@ Here is how to open the terminal files. In the default configuration,
nothing happens except that the command line (if there is one) is copied
to the input buffer.  The variable |command_line| will be filled by the 
|main| procedure. The copying can not be done earlier in the program 
logic because in the |INI| version, the |buffer| is also used for primitive 
initialization.

@^system dependencies@>

@d t_open_out  /* open the terminal for text output */
@d t_open_in  do { /* open the terminal for text input */
    if (mp->command_line!=NULL) {
      mp->last = strlen(mp->command_line);
      strncpy((char *)mp->buffer,mp->command_line,mp->last);
      xfree(mp->command_line);
    }
} while (0)

@<Glob...@>=
char *command_line;

@ @<Option variables@>=
char *command_line;

@ @<Allocate or initialize ...@>=
mp->command_line = mp_xstrdup(opt.command_line);

@ Sometimes it is necessary to synchronize the input/output mixture that
happens on the user's terminal, and three system-dependent
procedures are used for this
purpose. The first of these, |update_terminal|, is called when we want
to make sure that everything we have output to the terminal so far has
actually left the computer's internal buffers and been sent.
The second, |clear_terminal|, is called when we wish to cancel any
input that the user may have typed ahead (since we are about to
issue an unexpected error message). The third, |wake_up_terminal|,
is supposed to revive the terminal if the user has disabled it by
some instruction to the operating system.  The following macros show how
these operations can be specified in \ph:
@^system dependencies@>

@d update_terminal   fflush(mp->term_out) /* empty the terminal output buffer */
@d clear_terminal   do_nothing /* clear the terminal input buffer */
@d wake_up_terminal  fflush(mp->term_out) /* cancel the user's cancellation of output */

@ We need a special routine to read the first line of \MP\ input from
the user's terminal. This line is different because it is read before we
have opened the transcript file; there is sort of a ``chicken and
egg'' problem here. If the user types `\.{input cmr10}' on the first
line, or if some macro invoked by that line does such an \.{input},
the transcript file will be named `\.{cmr10.log}'; but if no \.{input}
commands are performed during the first line of terminal input, the transcript
file will acquire its default name `\.{mpout.log}'. (The transcript file
will not contain error messages generated by the first line before the
first \.{input} command.)

The first line is even more special if we are lucky enough to have an operating
system that treats \MP\ differently from a run-of-the-mill \PASCAL\ object
program. It's nice to let the user start running a \MP\ job by typing
a command line like `\.{MP cmr10}'; in such a case, \MP\ will operate
as if the first line of input were `\.{cmr10}', i.e., the first line will
consist of the remainder of the command line, after the part that invoked \MP.

@ Different systems have different ways to get started. But regardless of
what conventions are adopted, the routine that initializes the terminal
should satisfy the following specifications:

\yskip\textindent{1)}It should open file |term_in| for input from the
  terminal. (The file |term_out| will already be open for output to the
  terminal.)

\textindent{2)}If the user has given a command line, this line should be
  considered the first line of terminal input. Otherwise the
  user should be prompted with `\.{**}', and the first line of input
  should be whatever is typed in response.

\textindent{3)}The first line of input, which might or might not be a
  command line, should appear in locations |first| to |last-1| of the
  |buffer| array.

\textindent{4)}The global variable |loc| should be set so that the
  character to be read next by \MP\ is in |buffer[loc]|. This
  character should not be blank, and we should have |loc<last|.

\yskip\noindent(It may be necessary to prompt the user several times
before a non-blank line comes in. The prompt is `\.{**}' instead of the
later `\.*' because the meaning is slightly different: `\.{input}' need
not be typed immediately after~`\.{**}'.)

@d loc mp->cur_input.loc_field /* location of first unread character in |buffer| */

@ The following program does the required initialization
without retrieving a possible command line.
It should be clear how to modify this routine to deal with command lines,
if the system permits them.

@* \[4] String handling.
Symbolic token names and diagnostic messages are variable-length strings
of eight-bit characters. Since \PASCAL\ does not have a well-developed string
mechanism, \MP\ does all of its string processing by homegrown methods.

\MP\ uses strings more extensively than \MF\ does, but the necessary
operations can still be handled with a fairly simple data structure.
The array |str_pool| contains all of the (eight-bit) ASCII codes in all
of the strings, and the array |str_start| contains indices of the starting
points of each string. Strings are referred to by integer numbers, so that
string number |s| comprises the characters |str_pool[j]| for
|str_start[s]<=j<str_start[ss]| where |ss=next_str[s]|.  The string pool
is allocated sequentially and |str_pool[pool_ptr]| is the next unused
location.  The first string number not currently in use is |str_ptr|
and |next_str[str_ptr]| begins a list of free string numbers.  String
pool entries |str_start[str_ptr]| up to |pool_ptr| are reserved for a
string currently being constructed.

String numbers 0 to 255 are reserved for strings that correspond to single
ASCII characters. This is in accordance with the conventions of \.{WEB},
@.WEB@>
which converts single-character strings into the ASCII code number of the
single character involved, while it converts other strings into integers
and builds a string pool file. Thus, when the string constant \.{"."} appears
in the program below, \.{WEB} converts it into the integer 46, which is the
ASCII code for a period, while \.{WEB} will convert a string like \.{"hello"}
into some integer greater than~255. String number 46 will presumably be the
single character `\..'\thinspace; but some ASCII codes have no standard visible
representation, and \MP\ may need to be able to print an arbitrary
ASCII character, so the first 256 strings are used to specify exactly what
should be printed for each of the 256 possibilities.

integer max_pl_used; /* maximum |pool_in_use| so far */
integer max_strs_used; /* maximum |strs_in_use| so far */

@ Several of the elementary string operations are performed using \.{WEB}
macros instead of \PASCAL\ procedures, because many of the
operations are done quite frequently and we want to avoid the
overhead of procedure calls. For example, here is
a simple macro that computes the length of a string.
@.WEB@>

@d str_stop(A) mp->str_start[mp->next_str[(A)]] /* one cell past the end of string
  number \# */
@d length(A) (str_stop((A))-mp->str_start[(A)]) /* the number of characters in string \# */

@ The length of the current string is called |cur_length|.  If we decide that
the current string is not needed, |flush_cur_string| resets |pool_ptr| so that
|cur_length| becomes zero.

@d cur_length   (mp->pool_ptr - mp->str_start[mp->str_ptr])
@d flush_cur_string   mp->pool_ptr=mp->str_start[mp->str_ptr]

@ Strings are created by appending character codes to |str_pool|.
The |append_char| macro, defined here, does not check to see if the
value of |pool_ptr| has gotten too high; this test is supposed to be
made before |append_char| is used.

To test if there is room to append |l| more characters to |str_pool|,
we shall write |str_room(l)|, which tries to make sure there is enough room
by compacting the string pool if necessary.  If this does not work,
|do_compaction| aborts \MP\ and gives an apologetic error message.

@d append_char(A)   /* put |ASCII_code| \# at the end of |str_pool| */
{ mp->str_pool[mp->pool_ptr]=(A); incr(mp->pool_ptr);
}
@d str_room(A)   /* make sure that the pool hasn't overflowed */
  { if ( mp->pool_ptr+(A) > mp->max_pool_ptr ) {
    if ( mp->pool_ptr+(A) > mp->pool_size ) mp_do_compaction(mp, (A));
    else mp->max_pool_ptr=mp->pool_ptr+(A); }
  }

@ The following routine is similar to |str_room(1)| but it uses the
argument |mp->pool_size| to prevent |do_compaction| from aborting when
string space is exhausted.

@ \MP's string expressions are implemented in a brute-force way: Every
new string or substring that is needed is simply copied into the string pool.
Space is eventually reclaimed by a procedure called |do_compaction| with
the aid of a simple system system of reference counts.

The number of references to string number |s| will be |str_ref[s]|. The
special value |str_ref[s]=max_str_ref=127| is used to denote an unknown
positive number of references; such strings will never be recycled. If
a string is ever referred to more than 126 times, simultaneously, we
put it in this category. Hence a single byte suffices to store each |str_ref|.

@ The most interesting string operation is string pool compaction.  The idea
is to recover unused space in the |str_pool| array by recopying the strings
to close the gaps created when some strings become unused.  All string

numbers after |str_ptr|.  If this fails to free enough pool space we issue an

@ The first 128 strings will contain 95 standard ASCII characters, and the

an extended character set, where for example |xchr[032]=@t\.{'^^Z'}@>|,
would like string 032 to be printed as the single character 032 instead
of the three characters 0136, 0136, 0132 (\.{\^\^Z}). On the other hand,
even people with an extended character set will want to represent string
015 by \.{\^\^M}, since 015 is ASCII's ``carriage return'' code; the idea is
to produce visible strings instead of tabs or line-feeds or carriage-returns
or bell-rings or characters that are treated anomalously in text files.

Unprintable characters of codes 128--255 are, similarly, rendered
\.{\^\^80}--\.{\^\^ff}.

The boolean expression defined here should be |true| unless \MP\ internal
code number~|k| corresponds to a non-troublesome visible symbol in the
local character set.
If character |k| cannot be printed, and |k<0200|, then character |k+0100| or
|k-0100| must be printable; moreover, ASCII codes |[060..071, 0141..0146]|

@* \[5] On-line and off-line printing.
Messages that are sent to a user's terminal and to the transcript-log file
are produced by several `|print|' procedures. These procedures will
direct their output to a variety of places, based on the setting of
the global variable |selector|, which has the following possible
values:

\yskip
\hang |term_and_log|, the normal setting, prints on the terminal and on the
  transcript file.

\hang |log_only|, prints only on the transcript file.

\hang |term_only|, prints only on the terminal.

\hang |no_print|, doesn't print at all. This is used only in rare cases
  before the transcript file is open.

\hang |ps_file_only| prints only on the \ps\ output file.

\hang |pseudo|, puts output into a cyclic buffer that is used
  by the |show_context| routine; when we get to that routine we shall discuss
  the reasoning behind this curious mode.

\hang |new_string|, appends the output to the current string in the
  string pool.

\hang |>=write_file| prints on one of the files used for the \&{write}
@:write_}{\&{write} primitive@>
  command.

\yskip
\noindent The symbolic names `|term_and_log|', etc., have been assigned
numeric codes that satisfy the convenient relations |no_print+1=term_only|,
|no_print+2=log_only|, |term_only+2=log_only+1=term_and_log|.  These
relations are not used when |selector| could be |pseudo|, |new_string|,
or |ps_file_only|.  We need not check for unprintable characters when
|selector<pseudo|.

Four additional global variables, |tally|, |term_offset|, |file_offset|,
and |ps_offset| record the number of characters that have been printed
since they were most recently cleared to zero. We use |tally| to record
the length of (possibly very long) stretches of printing; |term_offset|,
|file_offset|, and |ps_offset|, on the other hand, keep track of how many
characters have appeared so far on the current line that has been output
to the terminal, the transcript file, or the \ps\ output file, respectively.

@ The |print_visible_char| procedure sends one character to the desired
destination, using the |xchr| array to map it into an external character
compatible with |input_ln|.  (It assumes that it is always called with
a visible ASCII character.)  All printing comes through |print_ln| or
|print_char|, which ultimately calls |print_visible_char|, hence these
routines are the ones that limit lines to at most |max_print_line| characters.
But we must make an exception for the \ps\ output file since it is not safe
to cut up lines arbitrarily in \ps.

Procedure |unit_str_room| needs to be declared |forward| here because it calls
|do_compaction| and |do_compaction| can call the error routines.  Actually,

characters when |selector| is in the range |0..max_write_files-1| or when
|selector=ps_file_only|.  In the former case the user might want to write
unprintable characters, and in the latter case the \ps\ printing routines
check their arguments themselves before calling |print_char| or |print|.)

assuming that the |selector| setting is either |term_only| or |term_and_log|.
The input is placed into locations |first| through |last-1| of the
|buffer| array, and echoed on the transcript file if appropriate.

This procedure is never called when |interaction<mp_scroll_mode|.

@d prompt_input(A) do { 
    wake_up_terminal; mp_print(mp, (A)); mp_term_input(mp);
  } while (0) /* prints a string and gets a line of input */

@c 
void mp_term_input (MP mp) { /* gets a line from the terminal */
  size_t k; /* index into |buffer| */
  update_terminal; /* Now the user sees the prompt for sure */
  if (!mp_input_ln(mp, mp->term_in,true)) 
    mp_fatal_error(mp, "End of file on the terminal!");
@.End of file on the terminal@>
  mp->term_offset=0; /* the user's line ended with \<\rm return> */
  decr(mp->selector); /* prepare to echo the input */
  if ( mp->last!=mp->first ) {
    for (k=mp->first;k<=mp->last-1;k++) {
      mp_print_char(mp, mp->buffer[k]);
    }

  mp->buffer[mp->last]='%'; 
  incr(mp->selector); /* restore previous status */
};

@* \[6] Reporting errors.
When something anomalous is detected, \MP\ typically does something like this:
$$\vbox{\halign{#\hfil\cr
|print_err("Something anomalous has been detected");|\cr
|help3("This is the first line of my offer to help.")|\cr
|("This is the second line. I'm trying to")|\cr
|("explain the best way for you to proceed.");|\cr
|error;|\cr}}$$
A two-line help message would be given using |help2|, etc.; these informal
helps should use simple vocabulary that complements the words used in the
official error message that was printed. (Outside the U.S.A., the help
messages should preferably be translated into the local vernacular. Each
line of help is at most 60 characters long, in the present implementation,
so that |max_print_line| will not be exceeded.)

The |print_err| procedure supplies a `\.!' before the official message,
and makes sure that the terminal is awake if a stop is going to occur.
The |error| procedure supplies a `\..' after the official message, then it
shows the location of the error; and if |interaction=error_stop_mode|,
it also enters into a dialog with the user, during which time the help
message may be printed.
@^system dependencies@>

@ The global variable |interaction| has four settings, representing increasing
amounts of user interaction:

@<Types...@>=
enum { 
 mp_unspecified_mode=0, /* extra value for command-line switch */
 mp_batch_mode, /* omits all stops and omits terminal output */
 mp_nonstop_mode, /* omits all stops */
 mp_scroll_mode, /* omits error stops */
 mp_error_stop_mode, /* stops at every opportunity to interact */
};

@ @<Glob...@>=
int interaction; /* current level of interaction */

@ @<Option variables@>=

@ Set it here so it can be overwritten by the commandline

@<Allocate or initialize ...@>=
mp->interaction=opt.interaction;
if (mp->interaction==mp_unspecified_mode || mp->interaction>mp_error_stop_mode) 
  mp->interaction=mp_error_stop_mode;
if (mp->interaction<mp_unspecified_mode) 
  mp->interaction=mp_batch_mode;

@ 

@d print_err(A) mp_print_err(mp,(A))

@<Exported...@>=
void mp_print_err(MP mp, char * A);

  if ( mp->interaction==mp_error_stop_mode ) 
    wake_up_terminal;
  mp_print_nl(mp, "! "); 
  mp_print(mp, A);
@.!\relax@>
}


@ \MP\ is careful not to call |error| when the print |selector| setting
might be unusual. The only possible values of |selector| at the time of
error messages are

\yskip\hang|no_print| (when |interaction=mp_batch_mode|
  and |log_file| not yet open);

\hang|term_only| (when |interaction>mp_batch_mode| and |log_file| not yet open);

\hang|log_only| (when |interaction=mp_batch_mode| and |log_file| is open);

\hang|term_and_log| (when |interaction>mp_batch_mode| and |log_file| is open).

@<Initialize the print |selector| based on |interaction|@>=
if ( mp->interaction==mp_batch_mode ) mp->selector=no_print; else mp->selector=term_only

@ A global variable |deletions_allowed| is set |false| if the |get_next|
routine is active when |error| is called; this ensures that |get_next|
will never be called recursively.
@^recursion@>

The global variable |history| records the worst level of error that
has been detected. It has four possible values: |spotless|, |warning_issued|,
|error_message_issued|, and |fatal_error_stop|.

Another global variable, |error_count|, is increased by one when an
|error| occurs without an interactive dialog, and it is reset to zero at
the end of every statement.  If |error_count| reaches 100, \MP\ decides
that there is no point in continuing further.

@d spotless 0 /* |history| value when nothing has been amiss yet */
@d warning_issued 1 /* |history| value when |begin_diagnostic| has been called */
@d error_message_issued 2 /* |history| value when |error| has been called */
@d fatal_error_stop 3 /* |history| value when termination was premature */

@<Glob...@>=
boolean deletions_allowed; /* is it safe for |error| to call |get_next|? */
int history; /* has the source input been clean so far? */
int error_count; /* the number of scrolled errors since the last statement ended */

@ The value of |history| is initially |fatal_error_stop|, but it will
be changed to |spotless| if \MP\ survives the initialization process.

@<Allocate or ...@>=
mp->deletions_allowed=true; mp->error_count=0; /* |history| is initialized elsewhere */

@ Since errors can be detected almost anywhere in \MP, we want to declare the
error procedures near the beginning of the program. But the error procedures
in turn use some other procedures, which need to be declared |forward|
before we get to |error| itself.

It is possible for |error| to be called recursively if some error arises
when |get_next| is being used to delete a token, and/or if some fatal error
occurs while \MP\ is trying to fix a non-fatal one. But such recursion
@^recursion@>
is never more than two levels deep.

@* \[7] Arithmetic with scaled numbers.
The principal computations performed by \MP\ are done entirely in terms of
integers less than $2^{31}$ in magnitude; thus, the arithmetic specified in this
program can be carried out in exactly the same way on a wide variety of
computers, including some small ones.
@^small computers@>

But \PASCAL\ does not define the |div|
operation in the case of negative dividends; for example, the result of
|(-2*n-1) div 2| is |-(n+1)| on some computers and |-n| on others.
There are two principal types of arithmetic: ``translation-preserving,''
in which the identity |(a+q*b)div b=(a div b)+q| is valid; and
``negation-preserving,'' in which |(-a)div b=-(a div b)|. This leads to
two \MP s, which can produce different results, although the differences
should be negligible when the language is being used properly.
The \TeX\ processor has been defined carefully so that both varieties
of arithmetic will produce identical output, but it would be too
inefficient to constrain \MP\ in a similar way.

@d el_gordo   017777777777 /* $2^{31}-1$, the largest value that \MP\ likes */

@ One of \MP's most common operations is the calculation of
$\lfloor{a+b\over2}\rfloor$,
the midpoint of two given integers |a| and~|b|. The only decent way to do
this in \PASCAL\ is to write `|(a+b) div 2|'; but on most machines it is
far more efficient to calculate `|(a+b)| right shifted one bit'.

Therefore the midpoint operation will always be denoted by `|half(a+b)|'
in this program. If \MP\ is being implemented with languages that permit
binary shifting, the |half| macro should be changed to make this operation
as efficient as possible.  Since some languages have shift operators that can
only be trusted to work on positive numbers, there is also a macro |halfp|
that is used only when the quantity being halved is known to be positive
or zero.

@d half(A) ((A)) / 2
@d halfp(A) ((A)) / 2

@ The following function is used to create a scaled integer from a given decimal
fraction $(.d_0d_1\ldots d_{k-1})$, where |0<=k<=17|. The digit $d_i$ is
given in |dig[i]|, and the calculation produces a correctly rounded result.

@c 
scaled mp_round_decimals (MP mp,small_number k) {
  /* converts a decimal fraction */
 integer a = 0; /* the accumulator */
 while ( k-->0 ) { 
    a=(a+mp->dig[k]*two) / 10;
  }
  return halfp(a+1);
}

@ Conversely, here is a procedure analogous to |print_int|. If the output
of this procedure is subsequently read by \MP\ and converted by the
|round_decimals| routine above, it turns out that the original value will
be reproduced exactly. A decimal point is printed only if the value is
not an integer. If there is more than one way to print the result with
the optimum number of digits following the decimal point, the closest
possible value is given.

The invariant relation in the \&{repeat} loop is that a sequence of
decimal digits yet to be printed will yield the original number if and only if
they form a fraction~$f$ in the range $s-\delta\L10\cdot2^{16}f<s$.
We can stop if and only if $f=0$ satisfies this condition; the loop will
terminate before $s$ can possibly become zero.

@<Basic printing...@>=
void mp_print_scaled (MP mp,scaled s) { /* prints scaled real, rounded to five  digits */
  scaled delta; /* amount of allowable inaccuracy */
  if ( s<0 ) { 
        mp_print_char(mp, '-'); 
    negate(s); /* print the sign, if negative */
  }
  mp_print_int(mp, s / unity); /* print the integer part */
  s=10*(s % unity)+5;
  if ( s!=5 ) { 
    delta=10; 
    mp_print_char(mp, '.');
    do {  
      if ( delta>unity )
        s=s+0100000-(delta / 2); /* round the final digit */
      mp_print_char(mp, '0'+(s / unity)); 
      s=10*(s % unity); 
      delta=delta*10;
    } while (s>delta);
  }
}

@ We often want to print two scaled quantities in parentheses,
separated by a comma.

  mp_print_scaled(mp, x); 
  mp_print_char(mp, ','); 
  mp_print_scaled(mp, y);
  mp_print_char(mp, ')');
}

@ The |scaled| quantities in \MP\ programs are generally supposed to be
less than $2^{12}$ in absolute value, so \MP\ does much of its internal
arithmetic with 28~significant bits of precision. A |fraction| denotes
a scaled integer whose binary point is assumed to be 28 bit positions
from the right.

@d fraction_half 01000000000 /* $2^{27}$, represents 0.50000000 */

@<Types...@>=
typedef integer fraction; /* this type is used for scaled fractions */

@ In fact, the two sorts of scaling discussed above aren't quite
sufficient; \MP\ has yet another, used internally to keep track of angles
in units of $2^{-20}$ degrees.

@d forty_five_deg 0264000000 /* $45\cdot2^{20}$, represents $45^\circ$ */
@d ninety_deg 0550000000 /* $90\cdot2^{20}$, represents $90^\circ$ */

@<Types...@>=
typedef integer angle; /* this type is used for scaled angles */

@ The |make_fraction| routine produces the |fraction| equivalent of
|p/q|, given integers |p| and~|q|; it computes the integer
$f=\lfloor2^{28}p/q+{1\over2}\rfloor$, when $p$ and $q$ are
positive. If |p| and |q| are both of the same scaled type |t|,
the ``type relation'' |make_fraction(t,t)=fraction| is valid;
and it's also possible to use the subroutine ``backwards,'' using
the relation |make_fraction(t,fraction)=t| between scaled types.

If the result would have magnitude $2^{31}$ or more, |make_fraction|
sets |arith_error:=true|. Most of \MP's internal computations have
been designed to avoid this sort of error.

If this subroutine were programmed in assembly language on a typical
machine, we could simply compute |(@t$2^{28}$@>*p)div q|, since a
double-precision product can often be input to a fixed-point division
instruction. But when we are restricted to \PASCAL\ arithmetic it
is necessary either to resort to multiple-precision maneuvering
or to use a simple but slow iteration. The multiple-precision technique
would be about three times faster than the code adopted here, but it
would be comparatively long and tricky, involving about sixteen
additional multiplications and divisions.

This operation is part of \MP's ``inner loop''; indeed, it will
consume nearly 10\pct! of the running time (exclusive of input and output)
if the code below is left unchanged. A machine-dependent recoding
will therefore make \MP\ run faster. The present implementation
is highly portable, but slow; it avoids multiplication and division
except in the initial stage. System wizards should be careful to
replace it with a routine that is guaranteed to produce identical
results in all cases.
@^system dependencies@>

As noted below, a few more routines should also be replaced by machine-dependent
code, for efficiency. But when a procedure is not part of the ``inner loop,''
such changes aren't advisable; simplicity and robustness are
preferable to trickery, unless the cost is too high.

@ The |repeat| loop here preserves the following invariant relations
between |f|, |p|, and~|q|:
(i)~|0<=p<q|; (ii)~$fq+p=2^k(q+p_0)$, where $k$ is an integer and
$p_0$ is the original value of~$p$.

Notice that the computation specifies
|(p-q)+p| instead of |(p+p)-q|, because the latter could overflow.
Let us hope that optimizing compilers do not miss this point; a
special variable |be_careful| is used to emphasize the necessary
order of computation. Optimizing compilers should keep |be_careful|
in a register, not store it in memory.

@ The dual of |make_fraction| is |take_fraction|, which multiplies a
given integer~|q| by a fraction~|f|. When the operands are positive, it
computes $p=\lfloor qf/2^{28}+{1\over2}\rfloor$, a symmetric function
of |q| and~|f|.

This routine is even more ``inner loopy'' than |make_fraction|;
the present implementation consumes almost 20\pct! of \MP's computation
time during typical jobs, so a machine-language substitute is advisable.

@ Here is a typical example of how the routines above can be used.
It computes the function
$${1\over3\tau}f(\theta,\phi)=
{\tau^{-1}\bigl(2+\sqrt2\,(\sin\theta-{1\over16}\sin\phi)
 (\sin\phi-{1\over16}\sin\theta)(\cos\theta-\cos\phi)\bigr)\over
3\,\bigl(1+{1\over2}(\sqrt5-1)\cos\theta+{1\over2}(3-\sqrt5\,)\cos\phi\bigr)},$$
where $\tau$ is a |scaled| ``tension'' parameter. This is \MP's magic
fudge factor for placing the first control point of a curve that starts
at an angle $\theta$ and ends at an angle $\phi$ from the straight path.
(Actually, if the stated quantity exceeds 4, \MP\ reduces it to~4.)

The trigonometric quantity to be multiplied by $\sqrt2$ is less than $\sqrt2$.
(It's a sum of eight terms whose absolute values can be bounded using
relations such as $\sin\theta\cos\theta\L{1\over2}$.) Thus the numerator
is positive; and since the tension $\tau$ is constrained to be at least
$3\over4$, the numerator is less than $16\over3$. The denominator is

kept in~|z| during the initial argument reduction. (We add
$100\cdot2^{16}=6553600$ to~|z| and subtract 100 from~|y| so that |z| will
not become negative; also, the actual amount subtracted from~|y| is~96,
not~100, because we want to add~4 for rounding before the final division by~8.)

@ And now let's complete our collection of numeric utility routines
by considering random number generation.
\MP\ generates pseudo-random numbers with the additive scheme recommended
in Section 3.6 of {\sl The Art of Computer Programming}; however, the
results are random fractions between 0 and |fraction_one-1|, inclusive.

There's an auxiliary array |randoms| that contains 55 pseudo-random
fractions. Using the recurrence $x_n=(x_{n-55}-x_{n-31})\bmod 2^{28}$,
we generate batches of 55 new $x_n$'s at a time by calling |new_randoms|.
The global variable |j_random| tells which element has most recently
been consumed.
The global variable |sys_random_seed| was introduced in version 0.9,
for the sole reason of stressing the fact that the initial value of the
random seed is system-dependant. The pascal code below will initialize
this variable to |(internal[time] div unity)+internal[day]|, but this is
not good enough on modern fast machines that are capable of running
multiple MetaPost processes within the same second.

@* \[9] Packed data.
In order to make efficient use of storage space, \MP\ bases its major data
structures on a |memory_word|, which contains either a (signed) integer,
possibly scaled, or a small number of fields that are one half or one
quarter of the size used for storing integers.

If |x| is a variable of type |memory_word|, it contains up to four
fields that can be referred to as follows:
$$\vbox{\halign{\hfil#&#\hfil&#\hfil\cr
|x|&.|int|&(an |integer|)\cr
|x|&.|sc|\qquad&(a |scaled| integer)\cr
|x.hh.lh|, |x.hh|&.|rh|&(two halfword fields)\cr
|x.hh.b0|, |x.hh.b1|, |x.hh|&.|rh|&(two quarterword fields, one halfword
  field)\cr
|x.qqqq.b0|, |x.qqqq.b1|, |x.qqqq|&.|b2|, |x.qqqq.b3|\hskip-100pt
  &\qquad\qquad\qquad(four quarterword fields)\cr}}$$
This is somewhat cumbersome to write, and not very readable either, but
macros will be used to make the notation shorter and more transparent.
The code below gives a formal definition of |memory_word| and
its subsidiary types, using packed variant records. \MP\ makes no
assumptions about the relative positions of the fields within a word.

@d max_quarterword 0x3FFF /* largest allowable value in a |quarterword| */
@d max_halfword 0xFFFFFFF /* largest allowable value in a |halfword| */

@ Here are the inequalities that the quarterword and halfword values
must satisfy (or rather, the inequalities that they mustn't satisfy):

@<Check the ``constant''...@>=
if (mp->ini_version) {
  if ( mp->mem_max!=mp->mem_top ) mp->bad=8;
} else {

if ( max_quarterword>max_halfword ) mp->bad=11;

@* \[10] Dynamic memory allocation.

The \MP\ system does nearly all of its own memory allocation, so that it
can readily be transported into environments that do not have automatic
facilities for strings, garbage collection, etc., and so that it can be in
control of what error messages the user receives. The dynamic storage
requirements of \MP\ are handled by providing a large array |mem| in
which consecutive blocks of words are used as nodes by the \MP\ routines.

Pointer variables are indices into this array, or into another array
called |eqtb| that will be explained later. A pointer variable might
also be a special flag that lies outside the bounds of |mem|, so we
allow pointers to assume any |halfword| value. The minimum memory
index represents a null pointer.

@d null 0 /* the null pointer */

@<Types...@>=
typedef halfword pointer; /* a flag or a location in |mem| or |eqtb| */

@ The |mem| array is divided into two regions that are allocated separately,
but the dividing line between these two regions is not fixed; they grow
together until finding their ``natural'' size in a particular job.
Locations less than or equal to |lo_mem_max| are used for storing
variable-length records consisting of two or more words each. This region
is maintained using an algorithm similar to the one described in exercise
2.5--19 of {\sl The Art of Computer Programming}. However, no size field
appears in the allocated nodes; the program is responsible for knowing the
relevant size when a node is freed. Locations greater than or equal to
|hi_mem_min| are used for storing one-word records; a conventional
\.{AVAIL} stack is used for allocation in this region.

Locations of |mem| between |0| and |mem_top| may be dumped as part
of preloaded format files, by the \.{INIMP} preprocessor.
@.INIMP@>
Production versions of \MP\ may extend the memory at the top end in order to
provide more space; these locations, between |mem_top| and |mem_max|,
are always used for single-word nodes.

The key pointers that govern |mem| allocation have a prescribed order:
$$\hbox{|null=0<lo_mem_max<hi_mem_min<mem_top<=mem_end<=mem_max|.}$$

the second word contains the two pointers for double linking.

Each nonempty node also has size 2 or more. Its first word is of type
|two_halves|\kern-1pt, and its |link| field is never equal to |max_halfword|.
Otherwise there is complete flexibility with respect to the contents

@ If \MP\ is extended improperly, the |mem| array might get screwed up.
For example, some pointers might be wrong, or some ``dead'' nodes might not
have been freed when the last reference to them disappeared. Procedures
|check_mem| and |search_mem| are available to help diagnose such
problems. These procedures make use of two arrays called |free| and
|was_free| that are present only if \MP's debugging routines have
been included. (You may want to decrease the size of |mem| while you

are debugging.)

@* \[12] The command codes.
Before we can go much further, we need to define symbolic names for the internal
code numbers that represent the various commands obeyed by \MP. These codes
are somewhat arbitrary, but not completely so. For example,
some codes have been made adjacent so that |case| statements in the
program need not consider cases that are widely spaced, or so that |case|
statements can be replaced by |if| statements. A command can begin an
expression if and only if its code lies between |min_primary_command| and
|max_primary_command|, inclusive. The first token of a statement that doesn't
begin with an expression has a command code between |min_command| and
|max_statement_command|, inclusive. Anything less than |min_command| is
eliminated during macro expansions, and anything no more than |max_pre_command|
is eliminated when expanding \TeX\ material.  Ranges such as
|min_secondary_command..max_secondary_command| are used when parsing
expressions, but the relative ordering within such a range is generally not
critical.

The ordering of the highest-numbered commands
(|comma<semicolon<end_group<stop|) is crucial for the parsing and
error-recovery methods of this program as is the ordering |if_test<fi_or_else|
for the smallest two commands.  The ordering is also important in the ranges
|numeric_token..plus_or_minus| and |left_brace..ampersand|.

@ Primitive operations that produce values have a secondary identification
code in addition to their command code; it's something like genera and species.
For example, `\.*' has the command code |primary_binary|, and its
secondary identification is |times|. The secondary codes start at 30 so that
they don't overlap with the type codes; some type codes (e.g., |mp_string_type|)
are used as operators as well as type identifications.  The relative values
are not critical, except for |true_code..false_code|, |or_op..and_op|,
and |filled_op..bounded_op|.  The restrictions are that
|and_op-false_code=or_op-true_code|, that the ordering of
|x_part...blue_part| must match that of |x_part_sector..mp_blue_part_sector|,
and the ordering of |filled_op..bounded_op| must match that of the code
values they test for.

@ Colors can be specified in four color models. In the special
case of |no_model|, MetaPost does not output any color operator to
the postscript output.

Note: these values are passed directly on to |with_option|. This only
works because the other possible values passed to |with_option| are
8 and 10 respectively (from |with_pen| and |with_picture|).

There is a first state, that is only used for |gs_colormodel|. It flags
the fact that there has not been any kind of color specification by
the user so far in the game.

@* \[13] The hash table.
Symbolic tokens are stored and retrieved by means of a fairly standard hash
table algorithm called the method of ``coalescing lists'' (cf.\ Algorithm 6.4C
in {\sl The Art of Computer Programming\/}). Once a symbolic token enters the
table, it is never removed.

The actual sequence of characters forming a symbolic token is
stored in the |str_pool| array together with all the other strings. An
auxiliary array |hash| consists of items with two halfword fields per
word. The first of these, called |next(p)|, points to the next identifier
belonging to the same coalesced list as the identifier corresponding to~|p|;
and the other, called |text(p)|, points to the |str_start| entry for
|p|'s identifier. If position~|p| of the hash table is empty, we have
|text(p)=0|; if position |p| is either empty or the end of a coalesced
hash list, we have |next(p)=0|.

An auxiliary pointer variable called |hash_used| is maintained in such a
way that all locations |p>=hash_used| are nonempty. The global variable
|st_count| tells how many symbolic tokens have been defined, if statistics
are being kept.

The first 256 locations of |hash| are reserved for symbols of length one.

There's a parallel array called |eqtb| that contains the current equivalent
values of each symbolic token. The entries of this array consist of
two halfwords called |eq_type| (a command code) and |equiv| (a secondary
piece of information that qualifies the |eq_type|).

@d next(A)   mp->hash[(A)].lh /* link for coalesced lists */
@d text(A)   mp->hash[(A)].rh /* string number for symbolic token name */
@d eq_type(A)   mp->eqtb[(A)].lh /* the current ``meaning'' of a symbolic token */
@d equiv(A)   mp->eqtb[(A)].rh /* parametric part of a token's meaning */
@d hash_base 257 /* hashing actually starts here */
@d hash_is_full   (mp->hash_used==hash_base) /* are all positions occupied? */

@<Glob...@>=
pointer hash_used; /* allocation pointer for |hash| */
integer st_count; /* total number of known identifiers */

@ Certain entries in the hash table are ``frozen'' and not redefinable,
since they are used in error recovery.

@ We will deal with the other primitives later, at some point in the program
where their |eq_type| and |equiv| values are more meaningful.  For example,
the primitives for macro definitions will be loaded when we consider the
routines that define macros.
It is easy to find where each particular
primitive was treated by looking in the index at the end; for example, the
section where |"def"| entered |eqtb| is listed under `\&{def} primitive'.

@* \[14] Token lists.
A \MP\ token is either symbolic or numeric or a string, or it denotes
a macro parameter or capsule; so there are five corresponding ways to encode it
@^token@>
internally: (1)~A symbolic token whose hash code is~|p|
is represented by the number |p|, in the |info| field of a single-word
node in~|mem|. (2)~A numeric token whose |scaled| value is~|v| is
represented in a two-word node of~|mem|; the |type| field is |known|,
the |name_type| field is |token|, and the |value| field holds~|v|.
The fact that this token appears in a two-word node rather than a
one-word node is, of course, clear from the node address.
(3)~A string token is also represented in a two-word node; the |type|
field is |mp_string_type|, the |name_type| field is |token|, and the
|value| field holds the corresponding |str_number|.  (4)~Capsules have
|name_type=capsule|, and their |type| and |value| fields represent
arbitrary values (in ways to be explained later).  (5)~Macro parameters
are like symbolic tokens in that they appear in |info| fields of
one-word nodes. The $k$th parameter is represented by |expr_base+k| if it
is of type \&{expr}, or by |suffix_base+k| if it is of type \&{suffix}, or
by |text_base+k| if it is of type \&{text}.  (Here |0<=k<param_size|.)
Actual values of these parameters are kept in a separate stack, as we will
see later.  The constants |expr_base|, |suffix_base|, and |text_base| are,
of course, chosen so that there will be no confusion between symbolic
tokens and parameters of various types.

Note that
the `\\{type}' field of a node has nothing to do with ``type'' in a
printer's sense. It's curious that the same word is used in such different ways.

@d type(A)   mp->mem[(A)].hh.b0 /* identifies what kind of value this is */
@d name_type(A)   mp->mem[(A)].hh.b1 /* a clue to the name of this value */
@d token_node_size 2 /* the number of words in a large token node */
@d value_loc(A) ((A)+1) /* the word that contains the |value| field */
@d value(A) mp->mem[value_loc((A))].cint /* the value stored in a large token node */
@d expr_base (hash_end+1) /* code for the zeroth \&{expr} parameter */
@d suffix_base (expr_base+mp->param_size) /* code for the zeroth \&{suffix} parameter */

@ The procedure |show_token_list|, which prints a symbolic form of
the token list that starts at a given node |p|, illustrates these
conventions. The token list being displayed should not begin with a reference
count. However, the procedure is intended to be fairly robust, so that if the
memory links are awry or if |p| is not really a pointer to a token list,
almost nothing catastrophic can happen.

An additional parameter |q| is also given; this parameter is either null
or it points to a node in the token list where a certain magic computation
takes place that will be explained later. (Basically, |q| is non-null when
we are printing the two-line context information at the time of an error
message; |q| marks the place corresponding to where the second line
should begin.)

The generation will stop, and `\.{\char`\ ETC.}' will be printed, if the length
of printing exceeds a given limit~|l|; the length of printing upon entry is
assumed to be a given amount called |null_tally|. (Note that
|show_token_list| sometimes uses itself recursively to print
variable names within a capsule.)

Unusual entries are printed in the form of all-caps tokens
preceded by a space, e.g., `\.{\char`\ BAD}'.

@* \[15] Data structures for variables.
The variables of \MP\ programs can be simple, like `\.x', or they can
combine the structural properties of arrays and records, like `\.{x20a.b}'.
A \MP\ user assigns a type to a variable like \.{x20a.b} by saying, for
example, `\.{boolean} \.{x20a.b}'. It's time for us to study how such
things are represented inside of the computer.

Each variable value occupies two consecutive words, either in a two-word
node called a value node, or as a two-word subfield of a larger node.  One
of those two words is called the |value| field; it is an integer,
containing either a |scaled| numeric value or the representation of some
other type of quantity. (It might also be subdivided into halfwords, in
which case it is referred to by other names instead of |value|.) The other
word is broken into subfields called |type|, |name_type|, and |link|.  The
|type| field is a quarterword that specifies the variable's type, and
|name_type| is a quarterword from which \MP\ can reconstruct the
variable's name (sometimes by using the |link| field as well).  Thus, only
1.25 words are actually devoted to the value itself; the other
three-quarters of a word are overhead, but they aren't wasted because they
allow \MP\ to deal with sparse arrays and to provide meaningful diagnostics.

In this section we shall be concerned only with the structural aspects of
variables, not their values. Later parts of the program will change the
|type| and |value| fields, but we shall treat those fields as black boxes
whose contents should not be touched.

However, if the |type| field is |mp_structured|, there is no |value| field,
and the second word is broken into two pointer fields called |attr_head|
and |subscr_head|. Those fields point to additional nodes that
contain structural information, as we shall see.

@d subscr_head_loc(A)   (A)+1 /* where |value|, |subscr_head| and |attr_head| are */
@d attr_head(A)   info(subscr_head_loc((A))) /* pointer to attribute info */
@d subscr_head(A)   link(subscr_head_loc((A))) /* pointer to subscript info */
@d value_node_size 2 /* the number of words in a value node */

@ An attribute node is three words long. Two of these words contain |type|
and |value| fields as described above, and the third word contains
additional information:  There is an |attr_loc| field, which contains the
hash address of the token that names this attribute; and there's also a
|parent| field, which points to the value node of |mp_structured| type at the
next higher level (i.e., at the level to which this attribute is
subsidiary).  The |name_type| in an attribute node is `|attr|'.  The
|link| field points to the next attribute with the same parent; these are
arranged in increasing order, so that |attr_loc(link(p))>attr_loc(p)|. The
final attribute node links to the constant |end_attr|, whose |attr_loc|
field is greater than any legal hash address. The |attr_head| in the
parent points to a node whose |name_type| is |mp_structured_root|; this
node represents the null attribute, i.e., the variable that is relevant
when no attributes are attached to the parent. The |attr_head| node is either
a value node, a subscript node, or an attribute node, depending on what
the parent would be if it were not structured; but the subscript and
attribute fields are ignored, so it effectively contains only the data of
a value node. The |link| field in this special node points to an attribute
node whose |attr_loc| field is zero; the latter node represents a collective
subscript `\.{[]}' attached to the parent, and its |link| field points to
the first non-special attribute node (or to |end_attr| if there are none).

A subscript node likewise occupies three words, with |type| and |value| fields
plus extra information; its |name_type| is |subscr|. In this case the
third word is called the |subscript| field, which is a |scaled| integer.
The |link| field points to the subscript node with the next larger
subscript, if any; otherwise the |link| points to the attribute node
for collective subscripts at this level. We have seen that the latter node
contains an upward pointer, so that the parent can be deduced.

The |name_type| in a parent-less value node is |root|, and the |link|
is the hash address of the token that names this value.

In other words, variables have a hierarchical structure that includes
enough threads running around so that the program is able to move easily
between siblings, parents, and children. An example should be helpful:
(The reader is advised to draw a picture while reading the following
description, since that will help to firm up the ideas.)
Suppose that `\.x' and `\.{x.a}' and `\.{x[]b}' and `\.{x5}'
and `\.{x20b}' have been mentioned in a user's program, where
\.{x[]b} has been declared to be of \&{boolean} type. Let |h(x)|, |h(a)|,
and |h(b)| be the hash addresses of \.x, \.a, and~\.b. Then
|eq_type(h(x))=name| and |equiv(h(x))=p|, where |p|~is a two-word value
node with |name_type(p)=root| and |link(p)=h(x)|. We have |type(p)=mp_structured|,
|attr_head(p)=q|, and |subscr_head(p)=r|, where |q| points to a value
node and |r| to a subscript node. (Are you still following this? Use
a pencil to draw a diagram.) The lone variable `\.x' is represented by
|type(q)| and |value(q)|; furthermore
|name_type(q)=mp_structured_root| and |link(q)=q1|, where |q1| points
to an attribute node representing `\.{x[]}'. Thus |name_type(q1)=attr|,
|attr_loc(q1)=collective_subscript=0|, |parent(q1)=p|,
|type(q1)=mp_structured|, |attr_head(q1)=qq|, and |subscr_head(q1)=qq1|;
|qq| is a value node with |type(qq)=mp_numeric_type| (assuming that \.{x5} is
numeric, because |qq| represents `\.{x[]}' with no further attributes),
|name_type(qq)=mp_structured_root|, and
|link(qq)=qq1|. (Now pay attention to the next part.) Node |qq1| is
an attribute node representing `\.{x[][]}', which has never yet
occurred; its |type| field is |undefined|, and its |value| field is
undefined. We have |name_type(qq1)=attr|, |attr_loc(qq1)=collective_subscript|,
|parent(qq1)=q1|, and |link(qq1)=qq2|. Since |qq2| represents
`\.{x[]b}', |type(qq2)=mp_unknown_boolean|; also |attr_loc(qq2)=h(b)|,
|parent(qq2)=q1|, |name_type(qq2)=attr|, |link(qq2)=end_attr|.
(Maybe colored lines will help untangle your picture.)
 Node |r| is a subscript node with |type| and |value|
representing `\.{x5}'; |name_type(r)=subscr|, |subscript(r)=5.0|,
and |link(r)=r1| is another subscript node. To complete the picture,
see if you can guess what |link(r1)| is; give up? It's~|q1|.
Furthermore |subscript(r1)=20.0|, |name_type(r1)=subscr|,
|type(r1)=mp_structured|, |attr_head(r1)=qqq|, |subscr_head(r1)=qqq1|,
and we finish things off with three more nodes
|qqq|, |qqq1|, and |qqq2| hung onto~|r1|. (Perhaps you should start again
with a larger sheet of paper.) The value of variable \.{x20b}
appears in node~|qqq2|, as you can well imagine.

If the example in the previous paragraph doesn't make things crystal
clear, a glance at some of the simpler subroutines below will reveal how
things work out in practice.

The only really unusual thing about these conventions is the use of
collective subscript attributes. The idea is to avoid repeating a lot of
type information when many elements of an array are identical macros
(for which distinct values need not be stored) or when they don't have
all of the possible attributes. Branches of the structure below collective
subscript attributes do not carry actual values except for macro identifiers;
branches of the structure below subscript nodes do not carry significant
information in their collective subscript attributes.

@<Initialize table...@>=
attr_loc(end_attr)=hash_end+1; parent(end_attr)=null;

@ Variables of type \&{pair} will have values that point to four-word
nodes containing two numeric values. The first of these values has
|name_type=mp_x_part_sector| and the second has |name_type=mp_y_part_sector|;
the |link| in the first points back to the node whose |value| points
to this four-word node.

Variables of type \&{transform} are similar, but in this case their
|value| points to a 12-word node containing six values, identified by
|x_part_sector|, |y_part_sector|, |mp_xx_part_sector|, |mp_xy_part_sector|,
|mp_yx_part_sector|, and |mp_yy_part_sector|.
Finally, variables of type \&{color} have three values in six words
identified by |mp_red_part_sector|, |mp_green_part_sector|, and |mp_blue_part_sector|.

When an entire structured variable is saved, the |root| indication
is temporarily replaced by |saved_root|.

Some variables have no name; they just are used for temporary storage
while expressions are being evaluated. We call them {\sl capsules}.

token containing the value~7, |find_variable| finds where the value of
\.{x7} is stored in memory. This may seem a simple task, and it
usually is, except when \.{x7} has never been referenced before.
Indeed, \.x may never have even been subscripted before; complexities
arise with respect to updating the collective subscript information.

If a macro type is detected anywhere along path~|t|, or if the first
item on |t| isn't a |tag_token|, the value |null| is returned.

@ Variables lose their former values when they appear in a type declaration,
or when they are defined to be macros or \&{let} equal to something else.
A subroutine will be defined later that recycles the storage associated
with any particular |type| or |value|; our goal now is to study a higher
level process called |flush_variable|, which selectively frees parts of a
variable structure.

This routine has some complexity because of examples such as
`\hbox{\tt numeric x[]a[]b}'
which recycles all variables of the form \.{x[i]a[j]b} (and no others), while
`\hbox{\tt vardef x[]a[]=...}'
discards all variables of the form \.{x[i]a[j]} followed by an arbitrary
suffix, except for the collective node \.{x[]a[]} itself. The obvious way
to handle such examples is to use recursion; so that's what we~do.

@* \[16] Saving and restoring equivalents.
The nested structure given by \&{begingroup} and \&{endgroup}
allows |eqtb| entries to be saved and restored, so that temporary changes
can be made without difficulty.  When the user requests a current value to
be saved, \MP\ puts that value into its ``save stack.'' An appearance of
\&{endgroup} ultimately causes the old values to be removed from the save
stack and put back in their former places.

The save stack is a linked list containing three kinds of entries,
distinguished by their |info| fields. If |p| points to a saved item,
then

\smallskip\hang
|info(p)=0| stands for a group boundary; each \&{begingroup} contributes
such an item to the save stack and each \&{endgroup} cuts back the stack
until the most recent such entry has been removed.

\smallskip\hang
|info(p)=q|, where |1<=q<=hash_end|, means that |mem[p+1]| holds the former
contents of |eqtb[q]|. Such save stack entries are generated by \&{save}
commands or suitable \&{interim} commands.

\smallskip\hang
|info(p)=hash_end+q|, where |q>0|, means that |value(p)| is a |scaled|
integer to be restored to internal parameter number~|q|. Such entries
are generated by \&{interim} commands.

\smallskip\noindent
The global variable |save_ptr| points to the top item on the save stack.

@d save_node_size 2 /* number of words per non-boundary save-stack node */
@d saved_equiv(A) mp->mem[(A)+1].hh /* where an |eqtb| entry gets saved */

  }

pointer save_ptr; /* the most recently saved item */

@ @<Set init...@>=mp->save_ptr=null;

@ The |save_variable| routine is given a hash address |q|; it salts this
address in the save stack, together with its current equivalent,
then makes token~|q| behave as though it were brand new.

Nothing is stacked when |save_ptr=null|, however; there's no way to remove
things from the stack when the program is not inside a group, so there's
no point in wasting the space.

@c void mp_save_variable (MP mp,pointer q) {
  pointer p; /* temporary register */
  if ( mp->save_ptr!=null ){ 
    p=mp_get_node(mp, save_node_size); info(p)=q; link(p)=mp->save_ptr;
    saved_equiv(p)=mp->eqtb[q]; mp->save_ptr=p;
  }
  mp_clear_symbol(mp, q,(mp->save_ptr!=null));
}

@ Similarly, |save_internal| is given the location |q| of an internal
quantity like |tracing_pens|. It creates a save stack entry of the
third kind.

equivalents in reverse order. This routine will be called only when there
is at least one boundary item on the save stack.

@* \[17] Data structures for paths.
When a \MP\ user specifies a path, \MP\ will create a list of knots
and control points for the associated cubic spline curves. If the
knots are $z_0$, $z_1$, \dots, $z_n$, there are control points
$z_k^+$ and $z_{k+1}^-$ such that the cubic splines between knots
$z_k$ and $z_{k+1}$ are defined by B\'ezier's formula
@:Bezier}{B\'ezier, Pierre Etienne@>
$$\eqalign{z(t)&=B(z_k,z_k^+,z_{k+1}^-,z_{k+1};t)\cr
&=(1-t)^3z_k+3(1-t)^2tz_k^++3(1-t)t^2z_{k+1}^-+t^3z_{k+1}\cr}$$
for |0<=t<=1|.

There is a 8-word node for each knot $z_k$, containing one word of
control information and six words for the |x| and |y| coordinates of
$z_k^-$ and $z_k$ and~$z_k^+$. The control information appears in the
|left_type| and |right_type| fields, which each occupy a quarter of
the first word in the node; they specify properties of the curve as it
enters and leaves the knot. There's also a halfword |link| field,
which points to the following knot, and a final supplementary word (of
which only a quarter is used).

If the path is a closed contour, knots 0 and |n| are identical;
i.e., the |link| in knot |n-1| points to knot~0. But if the path
is not closed, the |left_type| of knot~0 and the |right_type| of knot~|n|
are equal to |endpoint|. In the latter case the |link| in knot~|n| points
to knot~0, and the control points $z_0^-$ and $z_n^+$ are not used.

@ Before the B\'ezier control points have been calculated, the memory
space they will ultimately occupy is taken up by information that can be
used to compute them. There are four cases:

\yskip
\textindent{$\bullet$} If |right_type=open|, the curve should leave
the knot in the same direction it entered; \MP\ will figure out a
suitable direction.

\yskip
\textindent{$\bullet$} If |right_type=curl|, the curve should leave the
knot in a direction depending on the angle at which it enters the next
knot and on the curl parameter stored in |right_curl|.

\yskip
\textindent{$\bullet$} If |right_type=given|, the curve should leave the
knot in a nonzero direction stored as an |angle| in |right_given|.

\yskip
\textindent{$\bullet$} If |right_type=explicit|, the B\'ezier control
point for leaving this knot has already been computed; it is in the
|right_x| and |right_y| fields.

\yskip\noindent
The rules for |left_type| are similar, but they refer to the curve entering
the knot, and to \\{left} fields instead of \\{right} fields.

Non-|explicit| control points will be chosen based on ``tension'' parameters
in the |left_tension| and |right_tension| fields. The
`\&{atleast}' option is represented by negative tension values.
@:at_least_}{\&{atleast} primitive@>

For example, the \MP\ path specification
$$\.{z0..z1..tension atleast 1..\{curl 2\}z2..z3\{-1,-2\}..tension
  3 and 4..p},$$
where \.p is the path `\.{z4..controls z45 and z54..z5}', will be represented
by the six knots
\def\lodash{\hbox to 1.1em{\thinspace\hrulefill\thinspace}}
$$\vbox{\halign{#\hfil&&\qquad#\hfil\cr

|explicit|&$x_{54},y_{54}$&$x_5,y_5$&|endpoint|&\lodash$,\,$\lodash\cr}}$$
Here |d| is the |angle| obtained by calling |n_arg(-unity,-two)|.
Of course, this example is more complicated than anything a normal user
would ever write.

These types must satisfy certain restrictions because of the form of \MP's
path syntax:
(i)~|open| type never appears in the same node together with |endpoint|,
|given|, or |curl|.
(ii)~The |right_type| of a node is |explicit| if and only if the
|left_type| of the following node is |explicit|.
(iii)~|endpoint| types occur only at the ends, as mentioned above.

@ Knots can be user-supplied, or they can be created by program code,
like the |split_cubic| function, or |copy_path|. The distinction is
needed for the cleanup routine that runs after |split_cubic|, because
it should only delete knots it has previously inserted, and never
anything that was user-supplied. In order to be able to differentiate
one knot from another, we will set |originator(p):=metapost_user| when
it appeared in the actual metapost program, and
|originator(p):=program_code| in all other cases.

@* \[18] Choosing control points.
Now we must actually delve into one of \MP's more difficult routines,
the |make_choices| procedure that chooses angles and control points for
the splines of a curve when the user has not specified them explicitly.
The parameter to |make_choices| points to a list of knots and
path information, as described above.

A path decomposes into independent segments at ``breakpoint'' knots,
which are knots whose left and right angles are both prespecified in
some way (i.e., their |left_type| and |right_type| aren't both open).

@c 
@<Declare the procedure called |solve_choices|@>;

    mp_print_path(mp, knots,", before choices",true);
  @<If consecutive knots are equal, join them explicitly@>;
  @<Find the first breakpoint, |h|, on the path;

  p=h;
  do {  
    @<Fill in the control points between |p| and the next breakpoint,
      then advance |p| to that breakpoint@>;
  } while (p!=h);
  if ( mp->internal[tracing_choices]>0 )
    mp_print_path(mp, knots,", after choices",true);
  if ( mp->arith_error ) {
    @<Report an unexpected problem during the choice-making@>;
  }
}

       ("So it will probably look funny. Proceed, for a laugh.");

}

@ Two knots in a row with the same coordinates will always be joined
by an explicit ``curve'' whose control points are identical with the

@<If consecutive knots are equal, join them explicitly@>=

  q=link(p);
  if ( x_coord(p)==x_coord(q) && y_coord(p)==y_coord(q) && right_type(p)>explicit ) {

@ If there are no breakpoints, it is necessary to compute the direction

  }

@ If |right_type(p)<given| and |q=link(p)|, we must have

@ This step makes it possible to transform an explicitly computed path without

{ 
  right_x(p)=x_coord(p); right_y(p)=y_coord(p);
  left_x(q)=x_coord(q); left_y(q)=y_coord(q);
}

@ Before we can go further into the way choices are made, we need to
consider the underlying theory. The basic ideas implemented in |make_choices|
are due to John Hobby, who introduced the notion of ``mock curvature''
@^Hobby, John Douglas@>
at a knot. Angles are chosen so that they preserve mock curvature when
a knot is passed, and this has been found to produce excellent results.

It is convenient to introduce some notations that simplify the necessary
formulas. Let $d_{k,k+1}=\vert z\k-z_k\vert$ be the (nonzero) distance
between knots |k| and |k+1|; and let
$${z\k-z_k\over z_k-z_{k-1}}={d_{k,k+1}\over d_{k-1,k}}e^{i\psi_k}$$
so that a polygonal line from $z_{k-1}$ to $z_k$ to $z\k$ turns left
through an angle of~$\psi_k$. We assume that $\vert\psi_k\vert\L180^\circ$.
The control points for the spline from $z_k$ to $z\k$ will be denoted by
$$\eqalign{z_k^+&=z_k+
  \textstyle{1\over3}\rho_k e^{i\theta_k}(z\k-z_k),\cr
 z\k^-&=z\k-
  \textstyle{1\over3}\sigma\k e^{-i\phi\k}(z\k-z_k),\cr}$$
where $\rho_k$ and $\sigma\k$ are nonnegative ``velocity ratios'' at the
beginning and end of the curve, while $\theta_k$ and $\phi\k$ are the
corresponding ``offset angles.'' These angles satisfy the condition
$$\theta_k+\phi_k+\psi_k=0,\eqno(*)$$
whenever the curve leaves an intermediate knot~|k| in the direction that
it enters.

@ Let $\alpha_k$ and $\beta\k$ be the reciprocals of the ``tension'' of
the curve at its beginning and ending points. This means that
$\rho_k=\alpha_k f(\theta_k,\phi\k)$ and $\sigma\k=\beta\k f(\phi\k,\theta_k)$,
where $f(\theta,\phi)$ is \MP's standard velocity function defined in
the |velocity| subroutine. The cubic spline $B(z_k^{\phantom+},z_k^+,
z\k^-,z\k^{\phantom+};t)$
has curvature
@^curvature@>
$${2\sigma\k\sin(\theta_k+\phi\k)-6\sin\theta_k\over\rho_k^2d_{k,k+1}}
\qquad{\rm and}\qquad
{2\rho_k\sin(\theta_k+\phi\k)-6\sin\phi\k\over\sigma\k^2d_{k,k+1}}$$
at |t=0| and |t=1|, respectively. The mock curvature is the linear
@^mock curvature@>
approximation to this true curvature that arises in the limit for
small $\theta_k$ and~$\phi\k$, if second-order terms are discarded.
The standard velocity function satisfies
$$f(\theta,\phi)=1+O(\theta^2+\theta\phi+\phi^2);$$
hence the mock curvatures are respectively
$${2\beta\k(\theta_k+\phi\k)-6\theta_k\over\alpha_k^2d_{k,k+1}}
\qquad{\rm and}\qquad
{2\alpha_k(\theta_k+\phi\k)-6\phi\k\over\beta\k^2d_{k,k+1}}.\eqno(**)$$

@ The turning angles $\psi_k$ are given, and equation $(*)$ above
determines $\phi_k$ when $\theta_k$ is known, so the task of
angle selection is essentially to choose appropriate values for each
$\theta_k$. When equation~$(*)$ is used to eliminate $\phi$~variables
from $(**)$, we obtain a system of linear equations of the form
$$A_k\theta_{k-1}+(B_k+C_k)\theta_k+D_k\theta\k=-B_k\psi_k-D_k\psi\k,$$
where
$$A_k={\alpha_{k-1}\over\beta_k^2d_{k-1,k}},
\qquad B_k={3-\alpha_{k-1}\over\beta_k^2d_{k-1,k}},
\qquad C_k={3-\beta\k\over\alpha_k^2d_{k,k+1}},
\qquad D_k={\beta\k\over\alpha_k^2d_{k,k+1}}.$$
The tensions are always $3\over4$ or more, hence each $\alpha$ and~$\beta$
will be at most $4\over3$. It follows that $B_k\G{5\over4}A_k$ and
$C_k\G{5\over4}D_k$; hence the equations are diagonally dominant;
hence they have a unique solution. Moreover, in most cases the tensions
are equal to~1, so that $B_k=2A_k$ and $C_k=2D_k$. This makes the
solution numerically stable, and there is an exponential damping
effect: The data at knot $k\pm j$ affects the angle at knot~$k$ by
a factor of~$O(2^{-j})$.

@ However, we still must consider the angles at the starting and ending
knots of a non-cyclic path. These angles might be given explicitly, or
they might be specified implicitly in terms of an amount of ``curl.''

Let's assume that angles need to be determined for a non-cyclic path
starting at $z_0$ and ending at~$z_n$. Then equations of the form
$$A_k\theta_{k-1}+(B_k+C_k)\theta_k+D_k\theta_{k+1}=R_k$$
have been given for $0<k<n$, and it will be convenient to introduce
equations of the same form for $k=0$ and $k=n$, where
$$A_0=B_0=C_n=D_n=0.$$
If $\theta_0$ is supposed to have a given value $E_0$, we simply
define $C_0=0$, $D_0=0$, and $R_0=E_0$. Otherwise a curl
parameter, $\gamma_0$, has been specified at~$z_0$; this means
that the mock curvature at $z_0$ should be $\gamma_0$ times the
mock curvature at $z_1$; i.e.,
$${2\beta_1(\theta_0+\phi_1)-6\theta_0\over\alpha_0^2d_{01}}
=\gamma_0{2\alpha_0(\theta_0+\phi_1)-6\phi_1\over\beta_1^2d_{01}}.$$
This equation simplifies to
$$(\alpha_0\chi_0+3-\beta_1)\theta_0+
 \bigl((3-\alpha_0)\chi_0+\beta_1\bigr)\theta_1=
 -\bigl((3-\alpha_0)\chi_0+\beta_1\bigr)\psi_1,$$
where $\chi_0=\alpha_0^2\gamma_0/\beta_1^2$; so we can set $C_0=
\chi_0\alpha_0+3-\beta_1$, $D_0=(3-\alpha_0)\chi_0+\beta_1$, $R_0=-D_0\psi_1$.
It can be shown that $C_0>0$ and $C_0B_1-A_1D_0>0$ when $\gamma_0\G0$,
hence the linear equations remain nonsingular.

Similar considerations apply at the right end, when the final angle $\phi_n$
may or may not need to be determined. It is convenient to let $\psi_n=0$,
hence $\theta_n=-\phi_n$. We either have an explicit equation $\theta_n=E_n$,
or we have
$$\bigl((3-\beta_n)\chi_n+\alpha_{n-1}\bigr)\theta_{n-1}+
(\beta_n\chi_n+3-\alpha_{n-1})\theta_n=0,\qquad
  \chi_n={\beta_n^2\gamma_n\over\alpha_{n-1}^2}.$$

When |make_choices| chooses angles, it must compute the coefficients of
these linear equations, then solve the equations. To compute the coefficients,
it is necessary to compute arctangents of the given turning angles~$\psi_k$.
When the equations are solved, the chosen directions $\theta_k$ are put
back into the form of control points by essentially computing sines and
cosines.

@ OK, we are ready to make the hard choices of |make_choices|.
Most of the work is relegated to an auxiliary procedure

case, the |open| type is converted to |given|; however, if the
velocity coming into this knot is zero, the |open| type is
converted to a |curl|, since we don't know the incoming direction.

Similarly, |left_type(q)| is either |given| or |curl| or |open| or
|end_cycle|. The |open| possibility is reduced either to |given| or to |curl|.

@ Linear equations need to be solved whenever |n>1|; and also when |n=1|
and exactly one of the breakpoints involves a curl. The simplest case occurs
when |n=1| and there is a curl at both breakpoints; then we simply draw
a straight line.

But before coding up the simple cases, we might as well face the general case,
since we must deal with it sooner or later, and since the general case
is likely to give some insight into the way simple cases can be handled best.

When there is no cycle, the linear equations to be solved form a tridiagonal
system, and we can apply the standard technique of Gaussian elimination
to convert that system to a sequence of equations of the form
$$\theta_0+u_0\theta_1=v_0,\quad
\theta_1+u_1\theta_2=v_1,\quad\ldots,\quad
\theta_{n-1}+u_{n-1}\theta_n=v_{n-1},\quad
\theta_n=v_n.$$
It is possible to do this diagonalization while generating the equations.
Once $\theta_n$ is known, it is easy to determine $\theta_{n-1}$, \dots,
$\theta_1$, $\theta_0$; thus, the equations will be solved.

The procedure is slightly more complex when there is a cycle, but the
basic idea will be nearly the same. In the cyclic case the right-hand
sides will be $v_k+w_k\theta_0$ instead of simply $v_k$, and we will start
the process off with $u_0=v_0=0$, $w_0=1$. The final equation will be not
$\theta_n=v_n$ but $\theta_n+u_n\theta_1=v_n+w_n\theta_0$; an appropriate
ending routine will take account of the fact that $\theta_n=\theta_0$ and
eliminate the $w$'s from the system, after which the solution can be
obtained as before.

When $u_k$, $v_k$, and $w_k$ are being computed, the three pointer
variables |r|, |s|,~|t| will point respectively to knots |k-1|, |k|,
and~|k+1|. The $u$'s and $w$'s are scaled by $2^{28}$, i.e., they are
of type |fraction|; the $\theta$'s and $v$'s are of type |angle|.

$$A_k\theta_{k-1}+(B_k+C_k)\theta_k+D_k\theta\k=-B_k\psi_k-D_k\psi\k,$$
as derived above. We want to combine this with the already-derived equation
$\theta_{k-1}+u_{k-1}\theta_k=v_{k-1}+w_{k-1}\theta_0$ in order to obtain
a new equation
$\theta_k+u_k\theta\k=v_k+w_k\theta_0$. This can be done by dividing the
equation
$$(B_k-u_{k-1}A_k+C_k)\theta_k+D_k\theta\k=-B_k\psi_k-D_k\psi\k-A_kv_{k-1}
    -A_kw_{k-1}\theta_0$$
by $B_k-u_{k-1}A_k+C_k$. The trick is to do this carefully with
fixed-point arithmetic, avoiding the chance of overflow while retaining
suitable precision.

$$\eqalign{\theta_n&=v_n+w_n\theta_0-u_n\theta_1=\cdots\cr
&=v_n+w_n\theta_0-u_n\bigl(v_1+w_1\theta_0-u_1(v_2+\cdots

@* \[19] Measuring paths.
\MP's \&{llcorner}, \&{lrcorner}, \&{ulcorner}, and \&{urcorner} operators
allow the user to measure the bounding box of anything that can go into a
picture.  It's easy to get rough bounds on the $x$ and $y$ extent of a path
by just finding the bounding box of the knots and the control points. We
need a more accurate version of the bounding box, but we can still use the
easy estimate to save time by focusing on the interesting parts of the path.

@ Computing an accurate bounding box involves a theme that will come up again
and again. Given a Bernshte{\u\i}n polynomial
@^Bernshte{\u\i}n, Serge{\u\i} Natanovich@>
$$B(z_0,z_1,\ldots,z_n;t)=\sum_k{n\choose k}t^k(1-t)^{n-k}z_k,$$
we can conveniently bisect its range as follows:

\smallskip
\textindent{1)} Let $z_k^{(0)}=z_k$, for |0<=k<=n|.

\smallskip
\textindent{2)} Let $z_k^{(j+1)}={1\over2}(z_k^{(j)}+z\k^{(j)})$, for
|0<=k<n-j|, for |0<=j<n|.

\smallskip\noindent
Then
$$B(z_0,z_1,\ldots,z_n;t)=B(z_0^{(0)},z_0^{(1)},\ldots,z_0^{(n)};2t)
 =B(z_0^{(n)},z_1^{(n-1)},\ldots,z_n^{(0)};2t-1).$$
This formula gives us the coefficients of polynomials to use over the ranges
$0\L t\L{1\over2}$ and ${1\over2}\L t\L1$.

@ Now here's a subroutine that's handy for all sorts of path computations:
Given a quadratic polynomial $B(a,b,c;t)$, the |crossing_point| function
returns the unique |fraction| value |t| between 0 and~1 at which
$B(a,b,c;t)$ changes from positive to negative, or returns
|t=fraction_one+1| if no such value exists. If |a<0| (so that $B(a,b,c;t)$
is already negative at |t=0|), |crossing_point| returns the value zero.

@d no_crossing {  return (fraction_one+1); }
@d one_crossing { return fraction_one; }
@d zero_crossing { return 0; }
@d mp_crossing_point(M,A,B,C) mp_do_crossing_point(A,B,C)

@c fraction mp_do_crossing_point (integer a, integer b, integer c) {
  integer d; /* recursive counter */
  integer x,xx,x0,x1,x2; /* temporary registers for bisection */
  if ( a<0 ) zero_crossing;
  if ( c>=0 ) { 
    if ( b>=0 ) {
      if ( c>0 ) { no_crossing; }
      else if ( (a==0)&&(b==0) ) { no_crossing;} 
      else { one_crossing; } 
    }
    if ( a==0 ) zero_crossing;
  } else if ( a==0 ) {
    if ( b<=0 ) zero_crossing;
  }
  @<Use bisection to find the crossing point, if one exists@>;
}

@ The general bisection method is quite simple when $n=2$, hence
|crossing_point| does not take much time. At each stage in the
recursion we have a subinterval defined by |l| and~|j| such that
$B(a,b,c;2^{-l}(j+t))=B(x_0,x_1,x_2;t)$, and we want to ``zero in'' on
the subinterval where $x_0\G0$ and $\min(x_1,x_2)<0$.

It is convenient for purposes of calculation to combine the values
of |l| and~|j| in a single variable $d=2^l+j$, because the operation
of bisection then corresponds simply to doubling $d$ and possibly
adding~1. Furthermore it proves to be convenient to modify
our previous conventions for bisection slightly, maintaining the
variables $X_0=2^lx_0$, $X_1=2^l(x_0-x_1)$, and $X_2=2^l(x_1-x_2)$.
With these variables the conditions $x_0\ge0$ and $\min(x_1,x_2)<0$ are
equivalent to $\max(X_1,X_1+X_2)>X_0\ge0$.

The following code maintains the invariant relations
$0\L|x0|<\max(|x1|,|x1|+|x2|)$,
$\vert|x1|\vert<2^{30}$, $\vert|x2|\vert<2^{30}$;
it has been constructed in such a way that no arithmetic overflow
will occur if the inputs satisfy
$a<2^{30}$, $\vert a-b\vert<2^{30}$, and $\vert b-c\vert<2^{30}$.

@<Use bisection to find the crossing point...@>=

      if ( x<=x0 ) { if ( x+x2<=x0 ) no_crossing; }
      x1=x; d=d+d+1;
    }
  }
} while (d<fraction_one);
return (d-fraction_one)

@ Here is a routine that computes the $x$ or $y$ coordinate of the point on
a cubic corresponding to the |fraction| value~|t|.

It is convenient to define a \.{WEB} macro |t_of_the_way| such that
|t_of_the_way(a,b)| expands to |a-(a-b)*t|, i.e., to |t[a,b]|.

  x2=t_of_the_way(right_coord(p),left_coord(q));
  x3=t_of_the_way(left_coord(q),knot_coord(q));
  x1=t_of_the_way(x1,x2);
  x2=t_of_the_way(x2,x3);
  return t_of_the_way(x1,x2);
}

@ The actual bounding box information is stored in global variables.
Since it is convenient to address the $x$ and $y$ information
separately, we define arrays indexed by |x_code..y_code| and use
macros to give them more convenient names.

@<Types...@>=

@ Now we're ready for the key part of the bounding box computation.
The |bound_cubic| procedure updates |bbmin[c]| and |bbmax[c]| based on
$$B(\hbox{|knot_coord(p)|}, \hbox{|right_coord(p)|},
    \hbox{|left_coord(q)|}, \hbox{|knot_coord(q)|};t)
$$
for $0<t\le1$.  In other words, the procedure adjusts the bounds to
accommodate |knot_coord(q)| and any extremes over the range $0<t<1$.
The |c| parameter is |x_code| or |y_code|.

@ If |del1=del2=del3=0|, it's impossible to obey the title of this

@ Since |crossing_point| has tried to choose |t| so that
$B(|del1|,|del2|,|del3|;\tau)$ crosses zero at $\tau=|t|$ with negative
slope, the value of |del2| computed below should not be positive.
But rounding error could make it slightly positive in which case we
must cut it to zero to avoid confusion.

    p=q;
  } while (p!=h);
}

@ Another important way to measure a path is to find its arc length.  This
is best done by using the general bisection algorithm to subdivide the path
until obtaining ``well behaved'' subpaths whose arc lengths can be approximated
by simple means.

Since the arc length is the integral with respect to time of the magnitude of
the velocity, it is natural to use Simpson's rule for the approximation.
@^Simpson's rule@>
If $\dot B(t)$ is the spline velocity, Simpson's rule gives
$$ \vb\dot B(0)\vb + 4\vb\dot B({1\over2})\vb + \vb\dot B(1)\vb \over 6 $$
for the arc length of a path of length~1.  For a cubic spline
$B(z_0,z_1,z_2,z_3;t)$, the time derivative $\dot B(t)$ is
$3B(dz_0,dz_1,dz_2;t)$, where $dz_i=z_{i+1}-z_i$.  Hence the arc length
approximation is
$$ {\vb dz_0\vb \over 2} + 2\vb dz_{02}\vb + {\vb dz_2\vb \over 2}, $$
where
$$ dz_{02}={1\over2}\left({dz_0+dz_1\over 2}+{dz_1+dz_2\over 2}\right)$$
is the result of the bisection algorithm.

@ The remaining problem is how to decide when a subpath is ``well behaved.''
This could be done via the theoretical error bound for Simpson's rule,
@^Simpson's rule@>
but this is impractical because it requires an estimate of the fourth
derivative of the quantity being integrated.  It is much easier to just perform
a bisection step and see how much the arc length estimate changes.  Since the
error for Simpson's rule is proportional to the fourth power of the sample
spacing, the remaining error is typically about $1\over16$ of the amount of
the change.  We say ``typically'' because the error has a pseudo-random behavior
that could cause the two estimates to agree when each contain large errors.

To protect against disasters such as undetected cusps, the bisection process
should always continue until all the $dz_i$ vectors belong to a single
$90^\circ$ sector.  This ensures that no point on the spline can have velocity
less than 70\% of the minimum of $\vb dz_0\vb$, $\vb dz_1\vb$ and $\vb dz_2\vb$.
If such a spline happens to produce an erroneous arc length estimate that
is little changed by bisection, the amount of the error is likely to be fairly
small.  We will try to arrange things so that freak accidents of this type do
not destroy the inverse relationship between the \&{arclength} and
\&{arctime} operations.
@:arclength_}{\&{arclength} primitive@>
@:arctime_}{\&{arctime} primitive@>

@ The \&{arclength} and \&{arctime} operations are both based on a recursive
@^recursion@>
function that finds the arc length of a cubic spline given $dz_0$, $dz_1$,
$dz_2$. This |arc_test| routine also takes an arc length goal |a_goal| and
returns the time when the arc length reaches |a_goal| if there is such a time.
Thus the return value is either an arc length less than |a_goal| or, if the
arc length would be at least |a_goal|, it returns a time value decreased by
|two|.  This allows the caller to use the sign of the result to distinguish
between arc lengths and time values.  On certain types of overflow, it is
possible for |a_goal| and the result of |arc_test| both to be |el_gordo|.
Otherwise, the result is always less than |a_goal|.

Rather than halving the control point coordinates on each recursive call to
|arc_test|, it is better to keep them proportional to velocity on the original
curve and halve the results instead.  This means that recursive calls can
potentially use larger error tolerances in their arc length estimates.  How
much larger depends on to what extent the errors behave as though they are
independent of each other.  To save computing time, we use optimistic assumptions
and increase the tolerance by a factor of about $\sqrt2$ for each recursive
call.

In addition to the tolerance parameter, |arc_test| should also have parameters
for ${1\over3}\vb\dot B(0)\vb$, ${2\over3}\vb\dot B({1\over2})\vb$, and
${1\over3}\vb\dot B(1)\vb$.  These quantities are relatively expensive to compute
and they are needed in different instances of |arc_test|.

This routine is based on |crossing_point| but is simplified by the
assumptions that $B(a,b,c;t)\ge0$ for $0\le t\le1$ and that |0<=x<=a+b+c|.
If rounding error causes this condition to be violated slightly, we just ignore
it and proceed with binary search.  This finds a time when the function value
reaches |x| and the slope is positive.

@* \[20] Data structures for pens.
A Pen in \MP\ can be either elliptical or polygonal.  Elliptical pens result
in \ps\ \&{stroke} commands, while anything drawn with a polygonal pen is
@:stroke}{\&{stroke} command@>
converted into an area fill as described in the next part of this program.
The mathematics behind this process is based on simple aspects of the theory
of tracings developed by Leo Guibas, Lyle Ramshaw, and Jorge Stolfi
[``A kinematic framework for computational geometry,'' Proc.\ IEEE Symp.\
Foundations of Computer Science {\bf 24} (1983), 100--111].

Polygonal pens are created from paths via \MP's \&{makepen} primitive.
@:makepen_}{\&{makepen} primitive@>
This path representation is almost sufficient for our purposes except that
a pen path should always be a convex polygon with the vertices in
counter-clockwise order.
Since we will need to scan pen polygons both forward and backward, a pen
should be represented as a doubly linked ring of knot nodes.  There is
room for the extra back pointer because we do not need the
|left_type| or |right_type| fields.  In fact, we don't need the |left_x|,
|left_y|, |right_x|, or |right_y| fields either but we leave these alone
so that certain procedures can operate on both pens and paths.  In particular,
pens can be copied using |copy_path| and recycled using |toss_knot_list|.

@d knil info
  /* this replaces the |left_type| and |right_type| fields in a pen knot */

@ The |make_pen| procedure turns a path into a pen by initializing
the |knil| pointers and making sure the knots form a convex polygon.
Thus each cubic in the given path becomes a straight line and the control
points are ignored.  If the path is not cyclic, the ends are connected by a
straight line.

@ The only information required about an elliptical pen is the overall
transformation that has been applied to the original \&{pencircle}.
@:pencircle_}{\&{pencircle} primitive@>
Since it suffices to keep track of how the three points $(0,0)$, $(1,0)$,
and $(0,1)$ are transformed, an elliptical pen can be stored in a single
knot node and transformed as if it were a path.

@ If the polygon being returned by |make_pen| has only one vertex, it will
be interpreted as an elliptical pen.  This is no problem since a degenerate
polygon can equally well be thought of as a degenerate ellipse.  We need only
initialize the |left_x|, |left_y|, |right_x|, and |right_y| fields.

@* \[21] Edge structures.
Now we come to \MP's internal scheme for representing pictures.
The representation is very different from \MF's edge structures
because \MP\ pictures contain \ps\ graphics objects instead of pixel
images.  However, the basic idea is somewhat similar in that shapes
are represented via their boundaries.

The main purpose of edge structures is to keep track of graphical objects
until it is time to translate them into \ps.  Since \MP\ does not need to
know anything about an edge structure other than how to translate it into
\ps\ and how to find its bounding box, edge structures can be just linked
lists of graphical objects.  \MP\ has no easy way to determine whether
two such objects overlap, but it suffices to draw the first one first and
let the second one overwrite it if necessary.

@ Let's consider the types of graphical objects one at a time.
First of all, a filled contour is represented by a eight-word node.  The first
word contains |type| and |link| fields, and the next six words contain a
pointer to a cyclic path and the value to use for \ps' \&{currentrgbcolor}
parameter.  If a pen is used for filling |pen_p|, |ljoin_val| and |miterlim_val|
give the relevant information.

@ When a dashed line is computed in a transformed coordinate system, the dash
lengths get scaled like the pen shape and we need to compensate for this.  Since
there is no unique scale factor for an arbitrary transformation, we use the
the square root of the determinant.  The properties of the determinant make it
easier to maintain the |dash_scale|.  The computation is fairly straight-forward
except for the initialization of the scale factor |s|.  The factor of 64 is
needed because |square_rt| scales its result by $2^8$ while we need $2^{14}$
to counteract the effect of |take_fraction|.

the font and a string number that gives the text to be displayed.

@ The last two types of graphical objects that can occur in an edge structure
are clipping paths and \&{setbounds} paths.  These are slightly more difficult
@:set_bounds_}{\&{setbounds} primitive@>
to implement because we must keep track of exactly what is being clipped or
bounded when pictures get merged together.  For this reason, each clipping or
\&{setbounds} operation is represented by a pair of nodes:  first comes a
two-word node whose |path_p| gives the relevant path, then there is the list
of objects to clip or bound followed by a two-word node whose second word is
unused.

Using at least two words for each graphical object node allows them all to be
allocated and deallocated similarly with a global array |gr_object_size| to
give the size in words for each object type.

@ All the essential information in an edge structure is encoded as a linked list
of graphical objects as we have just seen, but it is helpful to add some
redundant information.  A single edge structure might be used as a dash pattern
many times, and it would be nice to avoid scanning the same structure
repeatedly.  Thus, an edge structure known to be a suitable dash pattern
has a header that gives a list of dashes in a sorted order designed for rapid
translation into \ps.

Each dash is represented by a three-word node containing the initial and final
$x$~coordinates as well as the usual |link| field.  The |link| fields points to
the dash node with the next higher $x$-coordinates and the final link points
to a special location called |null_dash|.  (There should be no overlap between
dashes).  Since the $y$~coordinate of the dash pattern is needed to determine
the period of repetition, this needs to be stored in the edge header along
with a pointer to the list of dash nodes.

@d start_x(A) mp->mem[(A)+1].sc  /* the starting $x$~coordinate in a dash node */
@d stop_x(A) mp->mem[(A)+2].sc  /* the ending $x$~coordinate in a dash node */
@d dash_node_size 3
@d dash_list link
  /* in an edge header this points to the first dash node */
@d dash_y(A) mp->mem[(A)+1].sc  /* $y$ value for the dash list in an edge header */

@ It is also convenient for an edge header to contain the bounding
box information needed by the \&{llcorner} and \&{urcorner} operators
so that this does not have to be recomputed unnecessarily.  This is done by
adding fields for the $x$~and $y$ extremes as well as a pointer that indicates
how far the bounding box computation has gotten.  Thus if the user asks for
the bounding box and then adds some more text to the picture before asking
for more bounding box information, the second computation need only look at
the additional text.

When the bounding box has not been computed, the |bblast| pointer points
to a dummy link at the head of the graphical object list while the |minx_val|
and |miny_val| fields contain |el_gordo| and the |maxx_val| and |maxy_val|
fields contain |-el_gordo|.

Since the bounding box of pictures containing objects of type
|mp_start_bounds_code| depends on the value of \&{truecorners}, the bounding box
@:true_corners_}{\&{truecorners} primitive@>
data might not be valid for all values of this parameter.  Hence, the |bbtype|
field is needed to keep track of this.

@ To initialize the |dash_list| field in an edge header~|h|, we need a
subroutine that scans an edge structure and tries to interpret it as a dash
pattern.  This can only be done when there are no filled regions or clipping
paths and all the pen strokes have the same color.  The first step is to let
$y_0$ be the initial $y$~coordinate of the first pen stroke.  Then we implicitly
project all the pen stroke paths onto the line $y=y_0$ and require that there
be no retracing.  If the resulting paths cover a range of $x$~coordinates of
length $\Delta x$, we set |dash_y(h)| to the length of the dash pattern by
finding the maximum of $\Delta x$ and the absolute value of~$y_0$.

@* \[22] Finding an envelope.
When \MP\ has a path and a polygonal pen, it needs to express the desired
shape in terms of things \ps\ can understand.  The present task is to compute
a new path that describes the region to be filled.  It is convenient to
define this as a two step process where the first step is determining what
offset to use for each segment of the path.

@ Given a pointer |c| to a cyclic path,
and a pointer~|h| to the first knot of a pen polygon,
the |offset_prep| routine changes the path into cubics that are
associated with particular pen offsets. Thus if the cubic between |p|
and~|q| is associated with the |k|th offset and the cubic between |q| and~|r|
has offset |l| then |info(q)=zero_off+l-k|. (The constant |zero_off| is added
to because |l-k| could be negative.)

After overwriting the type information with offset differences, we no longer
have a true path so we refer to the knot list returned by |offset_prep| as an
``envelope spec.''
@^envelope spec@>
Since an envelope spec only determines relative changes in pen offsets,
|offset_prep| sets a global variable |spec_offset| to the relative change from
|h| to the first offset.

@ Let $d\prec d'$ mean that the counter-clockwise angle from $d$ to~$d'$ is

@ Let us first solve a special case of the problem: Suppose we
know an index~$k$ such that either (i)~$d(t)\succeq d_{k-1}$ for all~$t$
and $d(0)\prec d_k$, or (ii)~$d(t)\preceq d_k$ for all~$t$ and
$d(0)\succ d_{k-1}$.
Then, in a sense, we're halfway done, since one of the two relations
in $(*)$ is satisfied, and the other couldn't be satisfied for
any other value of~|k|.

Actually, the conditions can be relaxed somewhat since a relation such as
$d(t)\succeq d_{k-1}$ restricts $d(t)$ to a half plane when all that really
matters is whether $d(t)$ crosses the ray in the $d_{k-1}$ direction from
the origin.  The condition for case~(i) becomes $d_{k-1}\preceq d(0)\prec d_k$
and $d(t)$ never crosses the $d_{k-1}$ ray in the clockwise direction.
Case~(ii) is similar except $d(t)$ cannot cross the $d_k$ ray in the
counterclockwise direction.

The |fin_offset_prep| subroutine solves the stated subproblem.
It has a parameter called |rise| that is |1| in
case~(i), |-1| in case~(ii). Parameters |x0| through |y2| represent
the derivative of the cubic following |p|.
The |w| parameter should point to offset~$w_k$ and |info(p)| should already
be set properly.  The |turn_amt| parameter gives the absolute value of the
overall net change in pen offsets.

@ Now we must consider the general problem of |offset_prep|, when
nothing is known about a given cubic. We start by finding its
direction in the vicinity of |t=0|.

If $z'(t)=0$, the given cubic is numerically unstable but |offset_prep|
has not yet introduced any more numerical errors.  Thus we can compute
the true initial direction for the given cubic, even if it is almost
degenerate.

@<Find the initial direction |(dx,dy)|@>=
dx=x0; dy=y0;
if ( dx==0 ) if ( dy==0 ) { 
  dx=x1; dy=y1;
  if ( dx==0 ) if ( dy==0 ) {

  dxin=x1; dyin=y1;
  if ( dxin==0 ) if ( dyin==0 ) {
    dxin=x0; dyin=y0;
  }
}

@ The next step is to bracket the initial direction between consecutive
edges of the pen polygon.  We must be careful to turn clockwise only if
this makes the turn less than $180^\circ$. (A $180^\circ$ turn must be
counter-clockwise in order to make \&{doublepath} envelopes come out
@:double_path_}{\&{doublepath} primitive@>
right.) This code depends on |w0| being the offset for |(dxin,dyin)|.

@<Update |info(p)| and find the offset $w_k$ such that...@>=

w0=w;
info(p)=info(p)+turn_amt

@ Decide how many pen offsets to go away from |w| in order to find the offset
for |(dx,dy)|, going counterclockwise if |ccw| is |true|.  This assumes that
|w| is the offset for some direction $(x',y')$ from which the angle to |(dx,dy)|
in the sense determined by |ccw| is less than or equal to $180^\circ$.

If the pen polygon has only two edges, they could both be parallel
to |(dx,dy)|.  In this case, we must be careful to stop after crossing the first
such edge in order to avoid an infinite loop.

@ Once we have an envelope spec, the remaining task to construct the actual
envelope by offsetting each cubic as determined by the |info| fields in
the knots.  First we use |offset_prep| to convert the |c| into an envelope
spec. Then we add the offsets so that |c| becomes a cyclic path that represents
the envelope.

The |ljoin| and |miterlim| parameters control the treatment of points where the
pen offset changes, and |lcap| controls the endpoints of a \&{doublepath}.
The endpoints are easily located because |c| is given in undoubled form
and then doubled in this procedure.  We use |spec_p1| and |spec_p2| to keep
track of the endpoints and treat them like very sharp corners.
Butt end caps are treated like beveled joins; round end caps are treated like
round joins; and square end caps are achieved by setting |join_type:=3|.

None of these parameters apply to inside joins where the convolution tracing
has retrograde lines.  In such cases we use a simple connect-the-endpoints
approach that is achieved by setting |join_type:=2|.

@* \[23] Direction and intersection times.
A path of length $n$ is defined parametrically by functions $x(t)$ and
$y(t)$, for |0<=t<=n|; we can regard $t$ as the ``time'' at which the path
reaches the point $\bigl(x(t),y(t)\bigr)$.  In this section of the program
we shall consider operations that determine special times associated with
given paths: the first time that a path travels in a given direction, and
a pair of times at which two paths cross each other.

@ Let's start with the easier task. The function |find_direction_time| is
given a direction |(x,y)| and a path starting at~|h|. If the path never
travels in direction |(x,y)|, the direction time will be~|-1|; otherwise
it will be nonnegative.

Certain anomalous cases can arise: If |(x,y)=(0,0)|, so that the given
direction is undefined, the direction time will be~0. If $\bigl(x'(t),
y'(t)\bigr)=(0,0)$, so that the path direction is undefined, it will be
assumed to match any given direction at time~|t|.

The routine solves this problem in nondegenerate cases by rotating the path
and the given direction so that |(x,y)=(1,0)|; i.e., the main task will be
to find when a given path first travels ``due east.''

  return 0;
} else  {

@ Since we're interested in the tangent directions, we work with the
derivative $${\textstyle1\over3}B'(x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3;t)=
B(x_1-x_0,x_2-x_1,x_3-x_2;t)$$ instead of
$B(x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3;t)$ itself. The derived coefficients are also scaled up
in order to achieve better accuracy.

The given path may turn abruptly at a knot, and it might pass the critical
tangent direction at such a time. Therefore we remember the direction |phi|
in which the previous rotated cubic was traveling. (The value of |phi| will be
undefined on the first cubic, i.e., when |n=0|.)

@ In this step we want to use the |crossing_point| routine to find the
roots of the quadratic equation $B(y_1,y_2,y_3;t)=0$.
Several complications arise: If the quadratic equation has a double root,
the curve never crosses zero, and |crossing_point| will find nothing;
this case occurs iff $y_1y_3=y_2^2$ and $y_1y_2<0$. If the quadratic
equation has simple roots, or only one root, we may have to negate it
so that $B(y_1,y_2,y_3;t)$ crosses from positive to negative at its first root.
And finally, we need to do special things if $B(y_1,y_2,y_3;t)$ is
identically zero.

subject to rounding errors. Yet this code optimistically tries to

@ The intersection of two cubics can be found by an interesting variant
of the general bisection scheme described in the introduction to
|crossing_point|.\
Given $w(t)=B(w_0,w_1,w_2,w_3;t)$ and $z(t)=B(z_0,z_1,z_2,z_3;t)$,
we wish to find a pair of times $(t_1,t_2)$ such that $w(t_1)=z(t_2)$,
if an intersection exists. First we find the smallest rectangle that
encloses the points $\{w_0,w_1,w_2,w_3\}$ and check that it overlaps
the smallest rectangle that encloses
$\{z_0,z_1,z_2,z_3\}$; if not, the cubics certainly don't intersect.
But if the rectangles do overlap, we bisect the intervals, getting
new cubics $w'$ and~$w''$, $z'$~and~$z''$; the intersection routine first
tries for an intersection between $w'$ and~$z'$, then (if unsuccessful)
between $w'$ and~$z''$, then (if still unsuccessful) between $w''$ and~$z'$,
finally (if thrice unsuccessful) between $w''$ and~$z''$. After $l$~successful
levels of bisection we will have determined the intersection times $t_1$
and~$t_2$ to $l$~bits of accuracy.

\def\submin{_{\rm min}} \def\submax{_{\rm max}}
As before, it is better to work with the numbers $W_k=2^l(w_k-w_{k-1})$
and $Z_k=2^l(z_k-z_{k-1})$ rather than the coefficients $w_k$ and $z_k$
themselves. We also need one other quantity, $\Delta=2^l(w_0-z_0)$,
to determine when the enclosing rectangles overlap. Here's why:
The $x$~coordinates of~$w(t)$ are between $u\submin$ and $u\submax$,
and the $x$~coordinates of~$z(t)$ are between $x\submin$ and $x\submax$,
if we write $w_k=(u_k,v_k)$ and $z_k=(x_k,y_k)$ and $u\submin=
\min(u_0,u_1,u_2,u_3)$, etc. These intervals of $x$~coordinates
overlap if and only if $u\submin\L x\submax$ and
$x\submin\L u\submax$. Letting
$$U\submin=\min(0,U_1,U_1+U_2,U_1+U_2+U_3),\;
  U\submax=\max(0,U_1,U_1+U_2,U_1+U_2+U_3),$$
we have $u\submin=2^lu_0+U\submin$, etc.; the condition for overlap
reduces to
$$X\submin-U\submax\L 2^l(u_0-x_0)\L X\submax-U\submin.$$
Thus we want to maintain the quantity $2^l(u_0-x_0)$; similarly,
the quantity $2^l(v_0-y_0)$ accounts for the $y$~coordinates. The
coordinates of $\Delta=2^l(w_0-z_0)$ must stay bounded as $l$ increases,
because of the overlap condition; i.e., we know that $X\submin$,
$X\submax$, and their relatives are bounded, hence $X\submax-
U\submin$ and $X\submin-U\submax$ are bounded.

@ Incidentally, if the given cubics intersect more than once, the process
just sketched will not necessarily find the lexicographically smallest pair
$(t_1,t_2)$. The solution actually obtained will be smallest in ``shuffled
order''; i.e., if $t_1=(.a_1a_2\ldots a_{16})_2$ and
$t_2=(.b_1b_2\ldots b_{16})_2$, then we will minimize
$a_1b_1a_2b_2\ldots a_{16}b_{16}$, not
$a_1a_2\ldots a_{16}b_1b_2\ldots b_{16}$.
Shuffled order agrees with lexicographic order if all pairs of solutions
$(t_1,t_2)$ and $(t_1',t_2')$ have the property that $t_1<t_1'$ iff
$t_2<t_2'$; but in general, lexicographic order can be quite different,
and the bisection algorithm would be substantially less efficient if it were
constrained by lexicographic order.

For example, suppose that an overlap has been found for $l=3$ and
$(t_1,t_2)= (.101,.011)$ in binary, but that no overlap is produced by
either of the alternatives $(.1010,.0110)$, $(.1010,.0111)$ at level~4.
Then there is probably an intersection in one of the subintervals
$(.1011,.011x)$; but lexicographic order would require us to explore
$(.1010,.1xxx)$ and $(.1011,.00xx)$ and $(.1011,.010x)$ first. We wouldn't
want to store all of the subdivision data for the second path, so the
subdivisions would have to be regenerated many times. Such inefficiencies
would be associated with every `1' in the binary representation of~$t_1$.

@ The subdivision process introduces rounding errors, hence we need to
make a more liberal test for overlap. It is not hard to show that the
computed values of $U_i$ differ from the truth by at most~$l$, on
level~$l$, hence $U\submin$ and $U\submax$ will be at most $3l$ in error.
If $\beta$ is an upper bound on the absolute error in the computed
components of $\Delta=(|delx|,|dely|)$ on level~$l$, we will replace
the test `$X\submin-U\submax\L|delx|$' by the more liberal test
`$X\submin-U\submax\L|delx|+|tol|$', where $|tol|=6l+\beta$.

More accuracy is obtained if we try the algorithm first with |tol=0|;
the more liberal tolerance is used only if an exact approach fails.
It is convenient to do this double-take by letting `3' in the preceding
paragraph be a parameter, which is first 0, then 3.

@* \[24] Dynamic linear equations.
\MP\ users define variables implicitly by stating equations that should be
satisfied; the computer is supposed to be smart enough to solve those equations.
And indeed, the computer tries valiantly to do so, by distinguishing five
different types of numeric values:

\smallskip\hang
|type(p)=mp_known| is the nice case, when |value(p)| is the |scaled| value
of the variable whose address is~|p|.

\smallskip\hang
|type(p)=mp_dependent| means that |value(p)| is not present, but |dep_list(p)|
points to a {\sl dependency list\/} that expresses the value of variable~|p|
as a |scaled| number plus a sum of independent variables with |fraction|
coefficients.

\smallskip\hang
|type(p)=mp_independent| means that |value(p)=64s+m|, where |s>0| is a ``serial
number'' reflecting the time this variable was first used in an equation;
also |0<=m<64|, and each dependent variable
that refers to this one is actually referring to the future value of
this variable times~$2^m$. (Usually |m=0|, but higher degrees of
scaling are sometimes needed to keep the coefficients in dependency lists
from getting too large. The value of~|m| will always be even.)

\smallskip\hang
|type(p)=mp_numeric_type| means that variable |p| hasn't appeared in an
equation before, but it has been explicitly declared to be numeric.

\smallskip\hang
|type(p)=undefined| means that variable |p| hasn't appeared before.

\smallskip\noindent
We have actually discussed these five types in the reverse order of their
history during a computation: Once |known|, a variable never again
becomes |dependent|; once |dependent|, it almost never again becomes
|mp_independent|; once |mp_independent|, it never again becomes |mp_numeric_type|;
and once |mp_numeric_type|, it never again becomes |undefined| (except
of course when the user specifically decides to scrap the old value
and start again). A backward step may, however, take place: Sometimes
a |dependent| variable becomes |mp_independent| again, when one of the
independent variables it depends on is reverting to |undefined|.


The next patch detects overflow of independent-variable serial
numbers. Diagnosed and patched by Thorsten Dahlheimer.

integer serial_no; /* the most recent serial number, times |s_scale| */

@ @<Make variable |q+s| newly independent@>=new_indep(q+s)

@ But how are dependency lists represented? It's simple: The linear combination
$\alpha_1v_1+\cdots+\alpha_kv_k+\beta$ appears in |k+1| value nodes. If
|q=dep_list(p)| points to this list, and if |k>0|, then |value(q)=
@t$\alpha_1$@>| (which is a |fraction|); |info(q)| points to the location
of $\alpha_1$; and |link(p)| points to the dependency list
$\alpha_2v_2+\cdots+\alpha_kv_k+\beta$. On the other hand if |k=0|,
then |value(q)=@t$\beta$@>| (which is |scaled|) and |info(q)=null|.
The independent variables $v_1$, \dots,~$v_k$ have been sorted so that
they appear in decreasing order of their |value| fields (i.e., of
their serial numbers). \ (It is convenient to use decreasing order,
since |value(null)=0|. If the independent variables were not sorted by
serial number but by some other criterion, such as their location in |mem|,
the equation-solving mechanism would be too system-dependent, because
the ordering can affect the computed results.)

The |link| field in the node that contains the constant term $\beta$ is
called the {\sl final link\/} of the dependency list. \MP\ maintains
a doubly-linked master list of all dependency lists, in terms of a permanently
allocated node
in |mem| called |dep_head|. If there are no dependencies, we have
|link(dep_head)=dep_head| and |prev_dep(dep_head)=dep_head|;
otherwise |link(dep_head)| points to the first dependent variable, say~|p|,
and |prev_dep(p)=dep_head|. We have |type(p)=mp_dependent|, and |dep_list(p)|
points to its dependency list. If the final link of that dependency list
occurs in location~|q|, then |link(q)| points to the next dependent
variable (say~|r|); and we have |prev_dep(r)=q|, etc.

@d dep_list(A) link(value_loc((A)))
  /* half of the |value| field in a |dependent| variable */
@d prev_dep(A) info(value_loc((A)))
  /* the other half; makes a doubly linked list */
@d dep_node_size 2 /* the number of words per dependency node */

@<Initialize table entries...@>= mp->serial_no=0;
link(dep_head)=dep_head; prev_dep(dep_head)=dep_head;
info(dep_head)=null; dep_list(dep_head)=null;

@ Actually the description above contains a little white lie. There's
another kind of variable called |mp_proto_dependent|, which is
just like a |dependent| one except that the $\alpha$ coefficients
in its dependency list are |scaled| instead of being fractions.
Proto-dependency lists are mixed with dependency lists in the
nodes reachable from |dep_head|.

@ Here is a procedure that prints a dependency list in symbolic form.
The second parameter should be either |dependent| or |mp_proto_dependent|,
to indicate the scaling of the coefficients.

@<Declare subroutines for printing expressions@>=
void mp_print_dependency (MP mp,pointer p, small_number t) {
  integer v; /* a coefficient */
  pointer pp,q; /* for list manipulation */
  pp=p;

    if ( q==null ) { /* the constant term */
      if ( (v!=0)||(p==pp) ) {
         if ( value(p)>0 ) if ( p!=pp ) mp_print_char(mp, '+');
         mp_print_scaled(mp, value(p));
      }
      return;
    }
    @<Print the coefficient, unless it's $\pm1.0$@>;
    if ( type(q)!=mp_independent ) mp_confusion(mp, "dep");
@:this can't happen dep}{\quad dep@>
    mp_print_variable_name(mp, q); v=value(q) % s_scale;
    while ( v>0 ) { mp_print(mp, "*4"); v=v-2; }
    p=link(p);
  }
}

@ @<Print the coefficient, unless it's $\pm1.0$@>=
if ( value(p)<0 ) mp_print_char(mp, '-');
else if ( p!=pp ) mp_print_char(mp, '+');
if ( t==mp_dependent ) v=mp_round_fraction(mp, v);
if ( v!=unity ) mp_print_scaled(mp, v)

@ The maximum absolute value of a coefficient in a given dependency list
is returned by the following simple function.

@c fraction mp_max_coef (MP mp,pointer p) {
  fraction x; /* the maximum so far */
  x=0;
  while ( info(p)!=null ) {
    if ( abs(value(p))>x ) x=abs(value(p));
    p=link(p);
  }
  return x;
}

@ One of the main operations needed on dependency lists is to add a multiple
of one list to the other; we call this |p_plus_fq|, where |p| and~|q| point
to dependency lists and |f| is a fraction.

If the coefficient of any independent variable becomes |coef_bound| or
more, in absolute value, this procedure changes the type of that variable
to `|independent_needing_fix|', and sets the global variable |fix_needed|
to~|true|. The value of $|coef_bound|=\mu$ is chosen so that
$\mu^2+\mu<8$; this means that the numbers we deal with won't
get too large. (Instead of the ``optimum'' $\mu=(\sqrt{33}-1)/2\approx
2.3723$, the safer value 7/3 is taken as the threshold.)

The changes mentioned in the preceding paragraph are actually done only if
the global variable |watch_coefs| is |true|. But it usually is; in fact,
it is |false| only when \MP\ is making a dependency list that will soon
be equated to zero.

Several procedures that act on dependency lists, including |p_plus_fq|,
set the global variable |dep_final| to the final (constant term) node of
the dependency list that they produce.

@d coef_bound 04525252525 /* |fraction| approximation to 7/3 */
@d independent_needing_fix 0

@<Glob...@>=
boolean fix_needed; /* does at least one |independent| variable need scaling? */
boolean watch_coefs; /* should we scale coefficients that exceed |coef_bound|? */
pointer dep_final; /* location of the constant term and final link */

@ @<Set init...@>=
mp->fix_needed=false; mp->watch_coefs=true;

@ The |p_plus_fq| procedure has a fourth parameter, |t|, that should be
set to |mp_proto_dependent| if |p| is a proto-dependency list. In this
case |f| will be |scaled|, not a |fraction|. Similarly, the fifth parameter~|tt|
should be |mp_proto_dependent| if |q| is a proto-dependency list.

List |q| is unchanged by the operation; but list |p| is totally destroyed.

The final link of the dependency list or proto-dependency list returned
by |p_plus_fq| is the same as the original final link of~|p|. Indeed, the
constant term of the result will be located in the same |mem| location
as the original constant term of~|p|.

Coefficients of the result are assumed to be zero if they are less than
a certain threshold. This compensates for inevitable rounding errors,
and tends to make more variables `|known|'. The threshold is approximately
$10^{-5}$ in the case of normal dependency lists, $10^{-4}$ for
proto-dependencies.

@ A somewhat simpler routine will multiply a dependency list

|fraction_one|, or it is |scaled|. In the latter case we might be forced to
convert a dependency list to a proto-dependency list.
Parameters |t0| and |t1| are the list types before and after;
they should agree unless |t0=mp_dependent| and |t1=mp_proto_dependent|
and |v_is_scaled=true|.

@ Here's another utility routine for dependency lists. When an independent
variable becomes dependent, we want to remove it from all existing
dependencies. The |p_with_x_becoming_q| function computes the
dependency list of~|p| after variable~|x| has been replaced by~|q|.

This procedure has basically the same calling conventions as |p_plus_fq|:
List~|q| is unchanged; list~|p| is destroyed; the constant node and the
final link are inherited from~|p|; and the fourth parameter tells whether
or not |p| is |mp_proto_dependent|. However, the global variable |dep_final|
is not altered if |x| does not occur in list~|p|.

@c pointer mp_p_with_x_becoming_q (MP mp,pointer p,
           pointer x, pointer q, small_number t) {

  integer sx; /* serial number of |x| */
  s=p; r=temp_head; sx=value(x);
  while ( value(info(s))>sx ) { r=s; s=link(s); };
  if ( info(s)!=x ) { 
    return p;
  } else { 
    link(temp_head)=p; link(r)=link(s); v=value(s);

@ The |new_dep| routine installs a dependency list~|p| into the value node~|q|,
linking it into the list of all known dependencies. We assume that
|dep_final| points to the final node of list~|p|.

@c void mp_new_dep (MP mp,pointer q, pointer p) {
  pointer r; /* what used to be the first dependency */

@ Here is one of the ways a dependency list gets started.
The |const_dependency| routine produces a list that has nothing but
a constant term.

  mp->dep_final=mp_get_node(mp, dep_node_size);
  value(mp->dep_final)=v; info(mp->dep_final)=null;
  return mp->dep_final;
}

@ And here's a more interesting way to start a dependency list from scratch:
The parameter to |single_dependency| is the location of an
independent variable~|x|, and the result is the simple dependency list
`|x+0|'.

In the unlikely event that the given independent variable has been doubled so
often that we can't refer to it with a nonzero coefficient,
|single_dependency| returns the simple list `0'.  This case can be
recognized by testing that the returned list pointer is equal to
|dep_final|.

@c pointer mp_single_dependency (MP mp,pointer p) {
  pointer q; /* the new dependency list */
  integer m; /* the number of doublings */
  m=value(p) % s_scale;
  if ( m>28 ) {
    return mp_const_dependency(mp, 0);
  } else { 
    q=mp_get_node(mp, dep_node_size);
    value(q)=two_to_the(28-m); info(q)=p;
    link(q)=mp_const_dependency(mp, 0);
    return q;
  }
}

@ We sometimes need to make an exact copy of a dependency list.

@c pointer mp_copy_dep_list (MP mp,pointer p) {
  pointer q; /* the new dependency list */
  q=mp_get_node(mp, dep_node_size); mp->dep_final=q;

  }
  return q;
}

@ But how do variables normally become known? Ah, now we get to the heart of the
equation-solving mechanism. The |linear_eq| procedure is given a |dependent|
or |mp_proto_dependent| list,~|p|, in which at least one independent variable
appears. It equates this list to zero, by choosing an independent variable
with the largest coefficient and making it dependent on the others. The
newly dependent variable is eliminated from all current dependencies,
thereby possibly making other dependent variables known.

The given list |p| is, of course, totally destroyed by all this processing.

@* \[25] Dynamic nonlinear equations.
Variables of numeric type are maintained by the general scheme of
independent, dependent, and known values that we have just studied;
and the components of pair and transform variables are handled in the
same way. But \MP\ also has five other types of values: \&{boolean},
\&{string}, \&{pen}, \&{path}, and \&{picture}; what about them?

Equations are allowed between nonlinear quantities, but only in a
simple form. Two variables that haven't yet been assigned values are
either equal to each other, or they're not.

Before a boolean variable has received a value, its type is |mp_unknown_boolean|;
similarly, there are variables whose type is |mp_unknown_string|, |mp_unknown_pen|,
|mp_unknown_path|, and |mp_unknown_picture|. In such cases the value is either
|null| (which means that no other variables are equivalent to this one), or
it points to another variable of the same undefined type. The pointers in the
latter case form a cycle of nodes, which we shall call a ``ring.''
Rings of undefined variables may include capsules, which arise as
intermediate results within expressions or as \&{expr} parameters to macros.

When one member of a ring receives a value, the same value is given to
all the other members. In the case of paths and pictures, this implies
making separate copies of a potentially large data structure; users should
restrain their enthusiasm for such generality, unless they have lots and
lots of memory space.

@ The following procedure is called when a capsule node is being
added to a ring (e.g., when an unknown variable is mentioned in an expression).

@c pointer mp_new_ring_entry (MP mp,pointer p) {
  pointer q; /* the new capsule node */
  q=mp_get_node(mp, value_node_size); name_type(q)=mp_capsule;
  type(q)=type(p);
  if ( value(p)==null ) value(q)=p; else value(q)=value(p);
  value(p)=q;
  return q;
}

@ Conversely, we might delete a capsule or a variable before it becomes known.
The following procedure simply detaches a quantity from its ring,
without recycling the storage.

@<Declare the recycling subroutines@>=
void mp_ring_delete (MP mp,pointer p) {
  pointer q; 
  q=value(p);
  if ( q!=null ) if ( q!=p ){ 
    while ( value(q)!=p ) q=value(q);
    value(q)=value(p);
  }
}

@ Eventually there might be an equation that assigns values to all of the
variables in a ring. The |nonlinear_eq| subroutine does the necessary
propagation of values.

If the parameter |flush_p| is |true|, node |p| itself needn't receive a
value, it will soon be recycled.

@c void mp_nonlinear_eq (MP mp,integer v, pointer p, boolean flush_p) {
  small_number t; /* the type of ring |p| */
  pointer q,r; /* link manipulation registers */

@* \[26] Introduction to the syntactic routines.
Let's pause a moment now and try to look at the Big Picture.
The \MP\ program consists of three main parts: syntactic routines,
semantic routines, and output routines. The chief purpose of the
syntactic routines is to deliver the user's input to the semantic routines,
while parsing expressions and locating operators and operands. The
semantic routines act as an interpreter responding to these operators,
which may be regarded as commands. And the output routines are
periodically called on to produce compact font descriptions that can be
used for typesetting or for making interim proof drawings. We have
discussed the basic data structures and many of the details of semantic
operations, so we are good and ready to plunge into the part of \MP\ that
actually controls the activities.

Our current goal is to come to grips with the |get_next| procedure,
which is the keystone of \MP's input mechanism. Each call of |get_next|
sets the value of three variables |cur_cmd|, |cur_mod|, and |cur_sym|,
representing the next input token.
$$\vbox{\halign{#\hfil\cr
  \hbox{|cur_cmd| denotes a command code from the long list of codes
   given earlier;}\cr
  \hbox{|cur_mod| denotes a modifier of the command code;}\cr
  \hbox{|cur_sym| is the hash address of the symbolic token that was
   just scanned,}\cr
  \hbox{\qquad or zero in the case of a numeric or string
   or capsule token.}\cr}}$$
Underlying this external behavior of |get_next| is all the machinery
necessary to convert from character files to tokens. At a given time we
may be only partially finished with the reading of several files (for
which \&{input} was specified), and partially finished with the expansion
of some user-defined macros and/or some macro parameters, and partially
finished reading some text that the user has inserted online,
and so on. When reading a character file, the characters must be
converted to tokens; comments and blank spaces must
be removed, numeric and string tokens must be evaluated.

To handle these situations, which might all be present simultaneously,
\MP\ uses various stacks that hold information about the incomplete
activities, and there is a finite state control for each level of the
input mechanism. These stacks record the current state of an implicitly
recursive process, but the |get_next| procedure is not recursive.

@<Glob...@>=
eight_bits cur_cmd; /* current command set by |get_next| */
integer cur_mod; /* operand of current command */
halfword cur_sym; /* hash address of current symbol */

@ The |print_cmd_mod| routine prints a symbolic interpretation of a
command code and its modifier.
It consists of a rather tedious sequence of print
commands, and most of it is essentially an inverse to the |primitive|
routine that enters a \MP\ primitive into |hash| and |eqtb|. Therefore almost
all of this procedure appears elsewhere in the program, together with the
corresponding |primitive| calls.

@<Declare the procedure called |print_cmd_mod|@>=
void mp_print_cmd_mod (MP mp,integer c, integer m) { 
 switch (c) {
  @<Cases of |print_cmd_mod| for symbolic printing of primitives@>
  default: mp_print(mp, "[unknown command code!]"); break;
  }
}

@ Here is a procedure that displays a given command in braces, in the
user's transcript file.

@d show_cur_cmd_mod mp_show_cmd_mod(mp, mp->cur_cmd,mp->cur_mod)

@c 
void mp_show_cmd_mod (MP mp,integer c, integer m) { 
  mp_begin_diagnostic(mp); mp_print_nl(mp, "{");
  mp_print_cmd_mod(mp, c,m); mp_print_char(mp, '}');
  mp_end_diagnostic(mp, false);
}

@* \[27] Input stacks and states.
The state of \MP's input mechanism appears in the input stack, whose
entries are records with five fields, called |index|, |start|, |loc|,
|limit|, and |name|. The top element of this stack is maintained in a
global variable for which no subscripting needs to be done; the other
elements of the stack appear in an array. Hence the stack is declared thus:

@<Types...@>=
typedef struct {
  quarterword index_field;
  halfword start_field, loc_field, limit_field, name_field;
} in_state_record;

@ @<Glob...@>=
in_state_record *input_stack;
integer input_ptr; /* first unused location of |input_stack| */
integer max_in_stack; /* largest value of |input_ptr| when pushing */
in_state_record cur_input; /* the ``top'' input state */
int stack_size; /* maximum number of simultaneous input sources */

@ @<Allocate or initialize ...@>=
mp->stack_size = 300;
mp->input_stack = xmalloc((mp->stack_size+1),sizeof(in_state_record));

@ @<Dealloc variables@>=
xfree(mp->input_stack);

@ We've already defined the special variable |loc==cur_input.loc_field|
in our discussion of basic input-output routines. The other components of
|cur_input| are defined in the same way:

@d index mp->cur_input.index_field /* reference for buffer information */
@d start mp->cur_input.start_field /* starting position in |buffer| */
@d limit mp->cur_input.limit_field /* end of current line in |buffer| */
@d name mp->cur_input.name_field /* name of the current file */

@ Let's look more closely now at the five control variables
(|index|,~|start|,~|loc|,~|limit|,~|name|),
assuming that \MP\ is reading a line of characters that have been input
from some file or from the user's terminal. There is an array called
|buffer| that acts as a stack of all lines of characters that are
currently being read from files, including all lines on subsidiary
levels of the input stack that are not yet completed. \MP\ will return to
the other lines when it is finished with the present input file.

(Incidentally, on a machine with byte-oriented addressing, it would be
appropriate to combine |buffer| with the |str_pool| array,
letting the buffer entries grow downward from the top of the string pool
and checking that these two tables don't bump into each other.)

The line we are currently working on begins in position |start| of the
buffer; the next character we are about to read is |buffer[loc]|; and
|limit| is the location of the last character present. We always have
|loc<=limit|. For convenience, |buffer[limit]| has been set to |"%"|, so
that the end of a line is easily sensed.

The |name| variable is a string number that designates the name of
the current file, if we are reading an ordinary text file.  Special codes
|is_term..max_spec_src| indicate other sources of input text.

@d is_term 0 /* |name| value when reading from the terminal for normal input */
@d is_read 1 /* |name| value when executing a \&{readstring} or \&{readfrom} */
@d is_scantok 2 /* |name| value when reading text generated by \&{scantokens} */
@d max_spec_src is_scantok

@ Additional information about the current line is available via the
|index| variable, which counts how many lines of characters are present
in the buffer below the current level. We have |index=0| when reading
from the terminal and prompting the user for each line; then if the user types,
e.g., `\.{input figs}', we will have |index=1| while reading
the file \.{figs.mp}. However, it does not follow that |index| is the
same as the input stack pointer, since many of the levels on the input
stack may come from token lists and some |index| values may correspond
to \.{MPX} files that are not currently on the stack.

The global variable |in_open| is equal to the highest |index| value counting
\.{MPX} files but excluding token-list input levels.  Thus, the number of
partially read lines in the buffer is |in_open+1| and we have |in_open>=index|
when we are not reading a token list.

If we are not currently reading from the terminal,
we are reading from the file variable |input_file[index]|. We use
the notation |terminal_input| as a convenient abbreviation for |name=is_term|,
and |cur_file| as an abbreviation for |input_file[index]|.

When \MP\ is not reading from the terminal, the global variable |line| contains
the line number in the current file, for use in error messages. More precisely,
|line| is a macro for |line_stack[index]| and the |line_stack| array gives
the line number for each file in the |input_file| array.

When an \.{MPX} file is opened the file name is stored in the |mpx_name|
array so that the name doesn't get lost when the file is temporarily removed
from the input stack.
Thus when |input_file[k]| is an \.{MPX} file, its name is |mpx_name[k]|
and it contains translated \TeX\ pictures for |input_file[k-1]|.
Since this is not an \.{MPX} file, we have
$$ \hbox{|mpx_name[k-1]<=absent|}. $$
This |name| field is set to |finished| when |input_file[k]| is completely
read.

If more information about the input state is needed, it can be
included in small arrays like those shown here. For example,
the current page or segment number in the input file might be put
into a variable |page|, that is really a macro for the current entry
in `\ignorespaces|page_stack:array[0..max_in_open] of integer|\unskip'
by analogy with |line_stack|.

@ However, all this discussion about input state really applies only to the
case that we are inputting from a file. There is another important case,
namely when we are currently getting input from a token list. In this case
|index>max_in_open|, and the conventions about the other state variables
are different:

\yskip\hang|loc| is a pointer to the current node in the token list, i.e.,
the node that will be read next. If |loc=null|, the token list has been
fully read.

\yskip\hang|start| points to the first node of the token list; this node
may or may not contain a reference count, depending on the type of token
list involved.

\yskip\hang|token_type|, which takes the place of |index| in the
discussion above, is a code number that explains what kind of token list
is being scanned.

\yskip\hang|name| points to the |eqtb| address of the control sequence
being expanded, if the current token list is a macro not defined by
\&{vardef}. Macros defined by \&{vardef} have |name=null|; their name
can be deduced by looking at their first two parameters.

\yskip\hang|param_start|, which takes the place of |limit|, tells where
the parameters of the current macro or loop text begin in the |param_stack|.

\yskip\noindent The |token_type| can take several values, depending on
where the current token list came from:

\yskip
\indent|forever_text|, if the token list being scanned is the body of
a \&{forever} loop;

\indent|loop_text|, if the token list being scanned is the body of
a \&{for} or \&{forsuffixes} loop;

\indent|parameter|, if a \&{text} or \&{suffix} parameter is being scanned;

\indent|backed_up|, if the token list being scanned has been inserted as
`to be read again'.

\indent|inserted|, if the token list being scanned has been inserted as
part of error recovery;

\indent|macro|, if the expansion of a user-defined symbolic token is being
scanned.

\yskip\noindent
The token list begins with a reference count if and only if |token_type=
macro|.
@^reference counts@>

@d token_type index /* type of current token list */
@d token_state (index>(int)mp->max_in_open) /* are we scanning a token list? */

@ The |param_stack| is an auxiliary array used to hold pointers to the token
lists for parameters at the current level and subsidiary levels of input.
This stack grows at a different rate from the others.

@<Glob...@>=
pointer *param_stack;  /* token list pointers for parameters */

mp->param_stack = xmalloc((mp->param_size+1),sizeof(pointer));

@ @<Dealloc variables@>=
xfree(mp->param_stack);

@ Notice that the |line| isn't valid when |token_state| is true because it
depends on |index|.  If we really need to know the line number for the
topmost file in the index stack we use the following function.  If a page
number or other information is needed, this routine should be modified to
compute it as well.
@^system dependencies@>

@<Declare a function called |true_line|@>=
integer mp_true_line (MP mp) {
  int k; /* an index into the input stack */
  if ( file_state && (name>max_spec_src) ) {
     return line;

    k=mp->input_ptr;
    while ((k>0) &&
           ((mp->input_stack[(k-1)].index_field>mp->max_in_open)||

    }
    return mp->line_stack[(k-1)];
  }
  return 0; 
}

@ Thus, the ``current input state'' can be very complicated indeed; there
can be many levels and each level can arise in a variety of ways. The
|show_context| procedure, which is used by \MP's error-reporting routine to
print out the current input state on all levels down to the most recent
line of characters from an input file, illustrates most of these conventions.
The global variable |file_ptr| contains the lowest level that was
displayed by this procedure.

@<Glob...@>=
integer file_ptr; /* shallowest level shown by |show_context| */

@ The status at each level is indicated by printing two lines, where the first
line indicates what was read so far and the second line shows what remains
to be read. The context is cropped, if necessary, so that the first line
contains at most |half_error_line| characters, and the second contains
at most |error_line|. Non-current input levels whose |token_type| is
`|backed_up|' are shown only if they have not been fully read.

@ Now it is necessary to explain a little trick. We don't want to store a long
string that corresponds to a token list, because that string might take up
lots of memory; and we are printing during a time when an error message is
being given, so we dare not do anything that might overflow one of \MP's
tables. So `pseudoprinting' is the answer: We enter a mode of printing
that stores characters into a buffer of length |error_line|, where character
$k+1$ is placed into \hbox{|trick_buf[k mod error_line]|} if
|k<trick_count|, otherwise character |k| is dropped. Initially we set
|tally:=0| and |trick_count:=1000000|; then when we reach the
point where transition from line 1 to line 2 should occur, we
set |first_count:=tally| and |trick_count:=@tmax@>(error_line,
tally+1+error_line-half_error_line)|. At the end of the
pseudoprinting, the values of |first_count|, |tally|, and
|trick_count| give us all the information we need to print the two lines,
and all of the necessary text is in |trick_buf|.

Namely, let |l| be the length of the descriptive information that appears
on the first line. The length of the context information gathered for that
line is |k=first_count|, and the length of the context information
gathered for line~2 is $m=\min(|tally|, |trick_count|)-k$. If |l+k<=h|,
where |h=half_error_line|, we print |trick_buf[0..k-1]| after the
descriptive information on line~1, and set |n:=l+k|; here |n| is the
length of line~1. If $l+k>h$, some cropping is necessary, so we set |n:=h|
and print `\.{...}' followed by
$$\hbox{|trick_buf[(l+k-h+3)..k-1]|,}$$
where subscripts of |trick_buf| are circular modulo |error_line|. The
second line consists of |n|~spaces followed by |trick_buf[k..(k+m-1)]|,
unless |n+m>error_line|; in the latter case, further cropping is done.
This is easier to program than to explain.

@<Local variables for formatting...@>=
int i; /* index into |buffer| */
integer l; /* length of descriptive information on line 1 */
integer m; /* context information gathered for line 2 */
int n; /* length of line 1 */
integer p; /* starting or ending place in |trick_buf| */
integer q; /* temporary index */

@ The following code tells the print routines to gather
the desired information.

@d begin_pseudoprint { 
  l=mp->tally; mp->tally=0; mp->selector=pseudo;
  mp->trick_count=1000000;
}
@d set_trick_count {
  mp->first_count=mp->tally;
  mp->trick_count=mp->tally+1+mp->error_line-mp->half_error_line;
  if ( mp->trick_count<mp->error_line ) mp->trick_count=mp->error_line;
}

@ And the following code uses the information after it has been gathered.

@<Print two lines using the tricky pseudoprinted information@>=
if ( mp->trick_count==1000000 ) set_trick_count;
  /* |set_trick_count| must be performed */

else m=mp->trick_count-mp->first_count; /* context on line 2 */
if ( l+mp->first_count<=mp->half_error_line ) {
  p=0; n=l+mp->first_count;
} else  { 
  mp_print(mp, "..."); p=l+mp->first_count-mp->half_error_line+3;
  n=mp->half_error_line;
}

  mp_print_char(mp, mp->trick_buf[q % mp->error_line]);
}
if ( m+n>mp->error_line ) mp_print(mp, "...")

@ But the trick is distracting us from our current goal, which is to

@* \[28] Maintaining the input stacks.
The following subroutines change the input status in commonly needed ways.

First comes |push_input|, which stores the current state and creates a
new level (having, initially, the same properties as the old).

@d push_input  { /* enter a new input level, save the old */
  if ( mp->input_ptr>mp->max_in_stack ) {

    }         
  }
  mp->input_stack[mp->input_ptr]=mp->cur_input; /* stack the record */

@* \[29] Getting the next token.
The heart of \MP's input mechanism is the |get_next| procedure, which
we shall develop in the next few sections of the program. Perhaps we
shouldn't actually call it the ``heart,'' however; it really acts as \MP's
eyes and mouth, reading the source files and gobbling them up. And it also
helps \MP\ to regurgitate stored token lists that are to be processed again.

The main duty of |get_next| is to input one token and to set |cur_cmd|
and |cur_mod| to that token's command code and modifier. Furthermore, if
the input token is a symbolic token, that token's |hash| address
is stored in |cur_sym|; otherwise |cur_sym| is set to zero.

Underlying this simple description is a certain amount of complexity
because of all the cases that need to be handled.
However, the inner loop of |get_next| is reasonably short and fast.

@ Before getting into |get_next|, we need to consider a mechanism by which
\MP\ helps keep errors from propagating too far. Whenever the program goes
into a mode where it keeps calling |get_next| repeatedly until a certain
condition is met, it sets |scanner_status| to some value other than |normal|.
Then if an input file ends, or if an `\&{outer}' symbol appears,
an appropriate error recovery will be possible.

The global variable |warning_info| helps in this error recovery by providing
additional information. For example, |warning_info| might indicate the
name of a macro whose replacement text is being scanned.

@d normal 0 /* |scanner_status| at ``quiet times'' */
@d skipping 1 /* |scanner_status| when false conditional text is being skipped */
@d flushing 2 /* |scanner_status| when junk after a statement is being ignored */
@d absorbing 3 /* |scanner_status| when a \&{text} parameter is being scanned */
@d var_defining 4 /* |scanner_status| when a \&{vardef} is being scanned */
@d op_defining 5 /* |scanner_status| when a macro \&{def} is being scanned */
@d loop_defining 6 /* |scanner_status| when a \&{for} loop is being scanned */
@d tex_flushing 7 /* |scanner_status| when skipping \TeX\ material */

@* \[30] Dealing with \TeX\ material.
The \&{btex}$\,\ldots\,$\&{etex} and \&{verbatimtex}$\,\ldots\,$\&{etex}
features need to be implemented at a low level in the scanning process
so that \MP\ can stay in synch with the a preprocessor that treats
blocks of \TeX\ material as they occur in the input file without trying
to expand \MP\ macros.  Thus we need a special version of |get_next|
that does not expand macros and such but does handle \&{btex},
\&{verbatimtex}, etc.

The special version of |get_next| is called |get_t_next|.  It works by flushing
\&{btex}$\,\ldots\,$\&{etex} and \&{verbatimtex}\allowbreak
$\,\ldots\,$\&{etex} blocks, switching to the \.{MPX} file when it sees
\&{btex}, and switching back when it sees \&{mpxbreak}.

@ Different macro-absorbing operations have different syntaxes, but they
also have a lot in common. There is a list of special symbols that are to
be replaced by parameter tokens; there is a special command code that
ends the definition; the quotation conventions are identical.  Therefore
it makes sense to have most of the work done by a single subroutine. That
subroutine is called |scan_toks|.

The first parameter to |scan_toks| is the command code that will
terminate scanning (either |macro_def|, |loop_repeat|, or |iteration|).

The second parameter, |subst_list|, points to a (possibly empty) list
of two-word nodes whose |info| and |value| fields specify symbol tokens
before and after replacement. The list will be returned to free storage
by |scan_toks|.

The third parameter is simply appended to the token list that is built.
And the final parameter tells how many of the special operations
\.{\#\AT!}, \.{\AT!}, and \.{\AT!\#} are to be replaced by suffix parameters.
When such parameters are present, they are called \.{(SUFFIX0)},
\.{(SUFFIX1)}, and \.{(SUFFIX2)}.

@* \[32] Expanding the next token.
Only a few command codes |<min_command| can possibly be returned by
|get_t_next|; in increasing order, they are
|if_test|, |fi_or_else|, |input|, |iteration|, |repeat_loop|,
|exit_test|, |relax|, |scan_tokens|, |expand_after|, and |defined_macro|.

\MP\ usually gets the next token of input by saying |get_x_next|. This is
like |get_t_next| except that it keeps getting more tokens until
finding |cur_cmd>=min_command|. In other words, |get_x_next| expands
macros and removes conditionals or iterations or input instructions that
might be present.

It follows that |get_x_next| might invoke itself recursively. In fact,
there is massive recursion, since macro expansion can involve the
scanning of arbitrarily complex expressions, which in turn involve
macro expansion and conditionals, etc.
@^recursion@>

Therefore it's necessary to declare a whole bunch of |forward|
procedures at this point, and to insert some other procedures
that will be invoked by |get_x_next|.

@ Now let's consider the |macro_call| procedure, which is used to start up
all user-defined macros. Since the arguments to a macro might be expressions,
|macro_call| is recursive.
@^recursion@>

The first parameter to |macro_call| points to the reference count of the
token list that defines the macro. The second parameter contains any
arguments that have already been parsed (see below).  The third parameter
points to the symbolic token that names the macro. If the third parameter
is |null|, the macro was defined by \&{vardef}, so its name can be
reconstructed from the prefix and ``at'' arguments found within the
second parameter.

What is this second parameter? It's simply a linked list of one-word items,
whose |info| fields point to the arguments. In other words, if |arg_list=null|,
no arguments have been scanned yet; otherwise |info(arg_list)| points to
the first scanned argument, and |link(arg_list)| points to the list of
further arguments (if any).

Arguments of type \&{expr} are so-called capsules, which we will
discuss later when we concentrate on expressions; they can be
recognized easily because their |link| field is |void|. Arguments of type
\&{suffix} and \&{text} are token lists without reference counts.

@ After argument scanning is complete, the arguments are moved to the
|param_stack|. (They can't be put on that stack any sooner, because
the stack is growing and shrinking in unpredictable ways as more arguments
are being acquired.)  Then the macro body is fed to the scanner; i.e.,
the replacement text of the macro is placed at the top of the \MP's
input stack, so that |get_t_next| will proceed to read it next.

@* \[33] Conditional processing.
Let's consider now the way \&{if} commands are handled.

Conditions can be inside conditions, and this nesting has a stack
that is independent of other stacks.
Four global variables represent the top of the condition stack:
|cond_ptr| points to pushed-down entries, if~any; |cur_if| tells whether
we are processing \&{if} or \&{elseif}; |if_limit| specifies
the largest code of a |fi_or_else| command that is syntactically legal;
and |if_line| is the line number at which the current conditional began.

If no conditions are currently in progress, the condition stack has the
special state |cond_ptr=null|, |if_limit=normal|, |cur_if=0|, |if_line=0|.
Otherwise |cond_ptr| points to a two-word node; the |type|, |name_type|, and
|link| fields of the first word contain |if_limit|, |cur_if|, and
|cond_ptr| at the next level, and the second word contains the
corresponding |if_line|.

@d if_node_size 2 /* number of words in stack entry for conditionals */
@d if_line_field(A) mp->mem[(A)+1].cint
@d if_code 1 /* code for \&{if} being evaluated */
@d fi_code 2 /* code for \&{fi} */
@d else_code 3 /* code for \&{else} */
@d else_if_code 4 /* code for \&{elseif} */

@<Glob...@>=
pointer cond_ptr; /* top of the condition stack */
integer if_limit; /* upper bound on |fi_or_else| codes */
small_number cur_if; /* type of conditional being worked on */
integer if_line; /* line where that conditional began */

@ @<Set init...@>=
mp->cond_ptr=null; mp->if_limit=normal; mp->cur_if=0; mp->if_line=0;

@ @<Put each...@>=

@ Here is a procedure that ignores text until coming to an \&{elseif},
\&{else}, or \&{fi} at level zero of $\&{if}\ldots\&{fi}$
nesting. After it has acted, |cur_mod| will indicate the token that
was found.

\MP's smallest two command codes are |if_test| and |fi_or_else|; this
makes the skipping process a bit simpler.

@* \[34] Iterations.
To bring our treatment of |get_x_next| to a close, we need to consider what
\MP\ does when it sees \&{for}, \&{forsuffixes}, and \&{forever}.

There's a global variable |loop_ptr| that keeps track of the \&{for} loops
that are currently active. If |loop_ptr=null|, no loops are in progress;
otherwise |info(loop_ptr)| points to the iterative text of the current
(innermost) loop, and |link(loop_ptr)| points to the data for any other
loops that enclose the current one.

A loop-control node also has two other fields, called |loop_type| and
|loop_list|, whose contents depend on the type of loop:

\yskip\indent|loop_type(loop_ptr)=null| means that |loop_list(loop_ptr)|
points to a list of one-word nodes whose |info| fields point to the
remaining argument values of a suffix list and expression list.

\yskip\indent|loop_type(loop_ptr)=diov| means that the current loop is
`\&{forever}'.

\yskip\indent|loop_type(loop_ptr)=progression_flag| means that
|p=loop_list(loop_ptr)| points to a ``progression node'' and |value(p)|,
|step_size(p)|, and |final_value(p)| contain the data for an arithmetic
progression.

\yskip\indent|loop_type(loop_ptr)=p>diov| means that |p| points to an edge
header and |loop_list(loop_ptr)| points into the graphical object list for
that edge header.

\yskip\noindent In the case of a progression node, the first word is not used
because the link field of words in the dynamic memory area cannot be arbitrary.

@d loop_list_loc(A) ((A)+1) /* where the |loop_list| field resides */
@d loop_type(A) info(loop_list_loc((A))) /* the type of \&{for} loop */
@d loop_list(A) link(loop_list_loc((A))) /* the remaining list elements */
@d loop_node_size 2 /* the number of words in a loop control node */
@d progression_node_size 4 /* the number of words in a progression node */
@d step_size(A) mp->mem[(A)+2].sc /* the step size in an arithmetic progression */
@d final_value(A) mp->mem[(A)+3].sc /* the final value in an arithmetic progression */
@d progression_flag (null+2)
  /* |loop_type| value when |loop_list| points to a progression node */

@<Glob...@>=
pointer loop_ptr; /* top of the loop-control-node stack */

@ @<Set init...@>=
mp->loop_ptr=null;

a \&{for} loop don't have known numeric values, the |bad_for|
subroutine screams at the user.

@* \[35] File names.
It's time now to fret about file names.  Besides the fact that different
operating systems treat files in different ways, we must cope with the
fact that completely different naming conventions are used by different
groups of people. The following programs show what is required for one
particular operating system; similar routines for other systems are not
difficult to devise.
@^system dependencies@>

\MP\ assumes that a file name has three parts: the name proper; its
``extension''; and a ``file area'' where it is found in an external file
system.  The extension of an input file is assumed to be
`\.{.mp}' unless otherwise specified; it is `\.{.log}' on the
transcript file that records each run of \MP; it is `\.{.tfm}' on the font
metric files that describe characters in any fonts created by \MP; it is
`\.{.ps}' or `.{\it nnn}' for some number {\it nnn} on the \ps\ output files;
and it is `\.{.mem}' on the mem files written by \.{INIMP} to initialize \MP.
The file area can be arbitrary on input files, but files are usually
output to the user's current area.  If an input file cannot be
found on the specified area, \MP\ will look for it on a special system
area; this special area is intended for commonly used input files.

Simple uses of \MP\ refer only to file names that have no explicit
extension or area. For example, a person usually says `\.{input} \.{cmr10}'
instead of `\.{input} \.{cmr10.new}'. Simple file
names are best, because they make the \MP\ source files portable;
whenever a file name consists entirely of letters and digits, it should be
treated in the same way by all implementations of \MP. However, users
need the ability to refer to other files in their environment, especially
when responding to error messages concerning unopenable files; therefore
we want to let them use the syntax that appears in their favorite
operating system.

@ \MP\ uses the same conventions that have proved to be satisfactory for
\TeX\ and \MF. In order to isolate the system-dependent aspects of file names,
@^system dependencies@>
the system-independent parts of \MP\ are expressed in terms
of three system-dependent
procedures called |begin_name|, |more_name|, and |end_name|. In
essence, if the user-specified characters of the file name are $c_1\ldots c_n$,
the system-independent driver program does the operations
$$|begin_name|;\,|more_name|(c_1);\,\ldots\,;|more_name|(c_n);
\,|end_name|.$$
These three procedures communicate with each other via global variables.
Afterwards the file name will appear in the string pool as three strings
called |cur_name|\penalty10000\hskip-.05em,
|cur_area|, and |cur_ext|; the latter two are null (i.e.,
|""|), unless they were explicitly specified by the user.

Actually the situation is slightly more complicated, because \MP\ needs
to know when the file name ends. The |more_name| routine is a function
(with side effects) that returns |true| on the calls |more_name|$(c_1)$,
\dots, |more_name|$(c_{n-1})$. The final call |more_name|$(c_n)$
returns |false|; or, it returns |true| and $c_n$ is the last character
on the current input line. In other words,
|more_name| is supposed to return |true| unless it is sure that the
file name has been completely scanned; and |end_name| is supposed to be able
to finish the assembly of |cur_name|, |cur_area|, and |cur_ext| regardless of
whether $|more_name|(c_n)$ returned |true| or |false|.

@<Glob...@>=
char * cur_name; /* name of file just scanned */
char * cur_area; /* file area just scanned, or \.{""} */
char * cur_ext; /* file extension just scanned, or \.{""} */

@ It is easier to maintain reference counts if we assign initial values.

@<Set init...@>=
mp->cur_name=xstrdup(""); 
mp->cur_area=xstrdup(""); 
mp->cur_ext=xstrdup("");

@ @<Dealloc variables@>=
xfree(mp->cur_area);
xfree(mp->cur_name);
xfree(mp->cur_ext);

@ The file names we shall deal with for illustrative purposes have the
following structure:  If the name contains `\.>' or `\.:', the file area
consists of all characters up to and including the final such character;
otherwise the file area is null.  If the remaining file name contains
`\..', the file extension consists of all such characters from the first
remaining `\..' to the end, otherwise the file extension is null.
@^system dependencies@>

We can scan such file names easily by using two global variables that keep track
of the occurrences of area and extension delimiters.  Note that these variables
cannot be of type |pool_pointer| because a string pool compaction could occur
while scanning a file name.

@<Glob...@>=
integer area_delimiter;
  /* most recent `\.>' or `\.:' relative to |str_start[str_ptr]| */
integer ext_delimiter; /* the relevant `\..', if any */

@ Input files that can't be found in the user's area may appear in standard
system areas called |MP_area| and |MF_area|.  (The latter is used when the file
extension is |".mf"|.)  The standard system area for font metric files
to be read is |MP_font_area|.
This system area name will, of course, vary from place to place.
@^system dependencies@>

@d MP_area "MPinputs:"
@.MPinputs@>
@d MF_area "MFinputs:"
@.MFinputs@>
@d MP_font_area ""
@.TeXfonts@>

@ Here now is the first of the system-dependent routines for file name scanning.
@^system dependencies@>

@<Declare subroutines for parsing file names@>=
void mp_begin_name (MP mp) { 
  xfree(mp->cur_name); 
  xfree(mp->cur_area); 
  xfree(mp->cur_ext);

  mp->ext_delimiter=-1;
}

@ And here's the second.
@^system dependencies@>

@<Declare subroutines for parsing file names@>=
boolean mp_more_name (MP mp, ASCII_code c) { 
  if (c==' ') {
    return false;
  } else {

      mp->ext_delimiter=-1;
    } else if ( (c=='.')&&(mp->ext_delimiter<0) ) {
      mp->ext_delimiter=mp->pool_ptr;
    }
    str_room(1); append_char(c); /* contribute |c| to the current string */
    return true;
  }
}

@ The third.
@^system dependencies@>

@d copy_pool_segment(A,B,C) { 
      A = xmalloc(C+1,sizeof(char)); 
      strncpy(A,(char *)(mp->str_pool+B),C);  
      A[C] = 0;}

@<Declare subroutines for parsing file names@>=
void mp_end_name (MP mp) {
  pool_pointer s; /* length of area, name, and extension */
  unsigned int len;
  /* "my/w.mp" */
  s = mp->str_start[mp->str_ptr];
  if ( mp->area_delimiter<0 ) {
    mp->cur_area=xstrdup("");
  } else {
    len = mp->area_delimiter-s; 
    copy_pool_segment(mp->cur_area,s,len);
    s += len+1;
  }
  if ( mp->ext_delimiter<0 ) {
    mp->cur_ext=xstrdup("");
    len = mp->pool_ptr-s; 
  } else {
    copy_pool_segment(mp->cur_ext,mp->ext_delimiter,(mp->pool_ptr-mp->ext_delimiter));
    len = mp->ext_delimiter-s;
  }
  copy_pool_segment(mp->cur_name,s,len);
  mp->pool_ptr=s; /* don't need this partial string */
}

@ Conversely, here is a routine that takes three strings and prints a file
name that might have produced them. (The routine is system dependent, because
some operating systems put the file area last instead of first.)
@^system dependencies@>

@<Basic printing...@>=
void mp_print_file_name (MP mp, char * n, char * a, char * e) { 
  mp_print(mp, a); mp_print(mp, n); mp_print(mp, e);

@ Another system-dependent routine is needed to convert three internal
\MP\ strings
to the |name_of_file| value that is used to open files. The present code
allows both lowercase and uppercase letters in the file name.
@^system dependencies@>

@d append_to_name(A) { c=(A); 
  if ( k<file_name_size ) {
    mp->name_of_file[k]=mp->xchr[c];
    incr(k);

  k=0;
  assert(n);
  if (a!=NULL) {
    for (j=a;*j;j++) { append_to_name(*j); }
  }
  for (j=n;*j;j++) { append_to_name(*j); }
  if (e!=NULL) {
    for (j=e;*j;j++) { append_to_name(*j); }
  }
  mp->name_of_file[k]=0;
  mp->name_length=k; 
}

@ @<Exported...@>=
void mp_pack_file_name (MP mp, char *n, char *a, char *e) ;

@ A messier routine is also needed, since mem file names must be scanned
before \MP's string mechanism has been initialized. We shall use the
global variable |MP_mem_default| to supply the text for default system areas
and extensions related to mem files.
@^system dependencies@>

@d mem_default_length 9 /* length of the |MP_mem_default| string */
@d mem_ext_length 4 /* length of its `\.{.mem}' part */

xfree(mp->mem_name);

@ @<Check the ``constant'' values for consistency@>=
if ( mem_default_length>file_name_size ) mp->bad=20;

@ Here is the messy routine that was just mentioned. It sets |name_of_file|
from the first |n| characters of |MP_mem_default|, followed by
|buffer[a..b]|, followed by the last |mem_ext_length| characters of
|MP_mem_default|.

We dare not give error messages here, since \MP\ calls this routine before
the |error| routine is ready to roll. Instead, we simply drop excess characters,
since the error will be detected in another way when a strange file name
isn't found.
@^system dependencies@>

@c void mp_pack_buffered_name (MP mp,small_number n, integer a,
                               integer b) {

@ Here is the only place we use |pack_buffered_name|. This part of the program
becomes active when a ``virgin'' \MP\ is trying to get going, just after
the preliminary initialization, or when the user is substituting another
mem file by typing `\.\&' after the initial `\.{**}' prompt.  The buffer
contains the first line of input in |buffer[loc..(last-1)]|, where
|loc<last| and |buffer[loc]<>" "|.

@ Operating systems often make it possible to determine the exact name (and
possible version number) of a file that has been opened. The following routine,
which simply makes a \MP\ string from the value of |name_of_file|, should
ideally be changed to deduce the full name of file~|f|, which is the file
most recently opened, if it is possible to do this in a \PASCAL\ program.
@^system dependencies@>

@ Now let's consider the ``driver''
routines by which \MP\ deals with file names
in a system-independent manner.  First comes a procedure that looks for a
file name in the input by taking the information from the input buffer.
(We can't use |get_next|, because the conversion to tokens would
destroy necessary information.)

This procedure doesn't allow semicolons or percent signs to be part of
file names, because of other conventions of \MP.
{\sl The {\logos METAFONT\/}book} doesn't
use semicolons or percents immediately after file names, but some users
no doubt will find it natural to do so; therefore system-dependent
changes to allow such characters in file names should probably
be made with reluctance, and only when an entire file name that
includes special characters is ``quoted'' somehow.

@* \[36] Introduction to the parsing routines.
We come now to the central nervous system that sparks many of \MP's activities.
By evaluating expressions, from their primary constituents to ever larger
subexpressions, \MP\ builds the structures that ultimately define complete
pictures or fonts of type.

Four mutually recursive subroutines are involved in this process: We call them
$$\hbox{|scan_primary|, |scan_secondary|, |scan_tertiary|,
and |scan_expression|.}$$
@^recursion@>
Each of them is parameterless and begins with the first token to be scanned
already represented in |cur_cmd|, |cur_mod|, and |cur_sym|. After execution,
the value of the primary or secondary or tertiary or expression that was
found will appear in the global variables |cur_type| and |cur_exp|. The
token following the expression will be represented in |cur_cmd|, |cur_mod|,
and |cur_sym|.

Technically speaking, the parsing algorithms are ``LL(1),'' more or less;
backup mechanisms have been added in order to provide reasonable error
recovery.

@<Glob...@>=
small_number cur_type; /* the type of the expression just found */
integer cur_exp; /* the value of the expression just found */

@ @<Set init...@>=
mp->cur_exp=0;

@ Many different kinds of expressions are possible, so it is wise to have
precise descriptions of what |cur_type| and |cur_exp| mean in all cases:

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_vacuous| means that this expression didn't turn out to have a
value at all, because it arose from a \&{begingroup}$\,\ldots\,$\&{endgroup}
construction in which there was no expression before the \&{endgroup}.
In this case |cur_exp| has some irrelevant value.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_boolean_type| means that |cur_exp| is either |true_code|
or |false_code|.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_unknown_boolean| means that |cur_exp| points to a capsule
node that is in the ring of variables equivalent
to at least one undefined boolean variable.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_string_type| means that |cur_exp| is a string number (i.e., an
integer in the range |0<=cur_exp<str_ptr|). That string's reference count
includes this particular reference.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_unknown_string| means that |cur_exp| points to a capsule
node that is in the ring of variables equivalent
to at least one undefined string variable.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_pen_type| means that |cur_exp| points to a node in a pen.  Nobody
else points to any of the nodes in this pen.  The pen may be polygonal or
elliptical.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_unknown_pen| means that |cur_exp| points to a capsule
node that is in the ring of variables equivalent
to at least one undefined pen variable.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_path_type| means that |cur_exp| points to a the first node of
a path; nobody else points to this particular path. The control points of
the path will have been chosen.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_unknown_path| means that |cur_exp| points to a capsule
node that is in the ring of variables equivalent
to at least one undefined path variable.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_picture_type| means that |cur_exp| points to an edge header node.
There may be other pointers to this particular set of edges.  The header node
contains a reference count that includes this particular reference.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_unknown_picture| means that |cur_exp| points to a capsule
node that is in the ring of variables equivalent
to at least one undefined picture variable.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_transform_type| means that |cur_exp| points to a |mp_transform_type|
capsule node. The |value| part of this capsule
points to a transform node that contains six numeric values,
each of which is |independent|, |dependent|, |mp_proto_dependent|, or |known|.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_color_type| means that |cur_exp| points to a |color_type|
capsule node. The |value| part of this capsule
points to a color node that contains three numeric values,
each of which is |independent|, |dependent|, |mp_proto_dependent|, or |known|.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_cmykcolor_type| means that |cur_exp| points to a |mp_cmykcolor_type|
capsule node. The |value| part of this capsule
points to a color node that contains four numeric values,
each of which is |independent|, |dependent|, |mp_proto_dependent|, or |known|.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_pair_type| means that |cur_exp| points to a capsule
node whose type is |mp_pair_type|. The |value| part of this capsule
points to a pair node that contains two numeric values,
each of which is |independent|, |dependent|, |mp_proto_dependent|, or |known|.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_known| means that |cur_exp| is a |scaled| value.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_dependent| means that |cur_exp| points to a capsule node whose type
is |dependent|. The |dep_list| field in this capsule points to the associated
dependency list.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_proto_dependent| means that |cur_exp| points to a |mp_proto_dependent|
capsule node. The |dep_list| field in this capsule
points to the associated dependency list.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=independent| means that |cur_exp| points to a capsule node
whose type is |independent|. This somewhat unusual case can arise, for
example, in the expression
`$x+\&{begingroup}\penalty0\,\&{string}\,x; 0\,\&{endgroup}$'.

\smallskip\hang
|cur_type=mp_token_list| means that |cur_exp| points to a linked list of
tokens. This case arises only on the left-hand side of an assignment
(`\.{:=}') operation, under very special circumstances.

\smallskip\noindent
The possible settings of |cur_type| have been listed here in increasing
numerical order. Notice that |cur_type| will never be |mp_numeric_type| or
|suffixed_macro| or |mp_unsuffixed_macro|, although variables of those types
are allowed.  Conversely, \MP\ has no variables of type |mp_vacuous| or
|token_list|.

@ Capsules are two-word nodes that have a similar meaning
to |cur_type| and |cur_exp|. Such nodes have |name_type=capsule|
and |link<=diov|; and their |type| field is one of the possibilities for
|cur_type| listed above.

The |value| field of a capsule is, in most cases, the value that
corresponds to its |type|, as |cur_exp| corresponds to |cur_type|.
However, when |cur_exp| would point to a capsule,
no extra layer of indirection is present; the |value|
field is what would have been called |value(cur_exp)| if it had not been
encapsulated.  Furthermore, if the type is |dependent| or
|mp_proto_dependent|, the |value| field of a capsule is replaced by
|dep_list| and |prev_dep| fields, since dependency lists in capsules are
always part of the general |dep_list| structure.

The |get_x_next| routine is careful not to change the values of |cur_type|
and |cur_exp| when it gets an expanded token. However, |get_x_next| might
call a macro, which might parse an expression, which might execute lots of
commands in a group; hence it's possible that |cur_type| might change
from, say, |mp_unknown_boolean| to |mp_boolean_type|, or from |dependent| to
|known| or |independent|, during the time |get_x_next| is called. The
programs below are careful to stash sensitive intermediate results in
capsules, so that \MP's generality doesn't cause trouble.

Here's a procedure that illustrates these conventions. It takes
the contents of $(|cur_type|\kern-.3pt,|cur_exp|\kern-.3pt)$
and stashes them away in a
capsule. It is not used when |cur_type=mp_token_list|.
After the operation, |cur_type=mp_vacuous|; hence there is no need to
copy path lists or to update reference counts, etc.

The special link |diov| is put on the capsule returned by
|stash_cur_exp|, because this procedure is used to store macro parameters
that must be easily distinguishable from token lists.

@<Declare the stashing/unstashing routines@>=
pointer mp_stash_cur_exp (MP mp) {
  pointer p; /* the capsule that will be returned */
  switch (mp->cur_type) {
  case unknown_types:
  case mp_transform_type:
  case mp_color_type:
  case mp_pair_type:
  case mp_dependent:
  case mp_proto_dependent:
  case mp_independent: 
  case mp_cmykcolor_type:
    p=mp->cur_exp;
    break;
  default: 
    p=mp_get_node(mp, value_node_size); name_type(p)=mp_capsule;
    type(p)=mp->cur_type; value(p)=mp->cur_exp;
    break;
  }
  mp->cur_type=mp_vacuous; link(p)=diov; 
  return p;
}

@ The inverse of |stash_cur_exp| is the following procedure, which
deletes an unnecessary capsule and puts its contents into |cur_type|
and |cur_exp|.

The program steps of \MP\ can be divided into two categories: those in
which |cur_type| and |cur_exp| are ``alive'' and those in which they are
``dead,'' in the sense that |cur_type| and |cur_exp| contain relevant
information or not. It's important not to ignore them when they're alive,
and it's important not to pay attention to them when they're dead.

There's also an intermediate category: If |cur_type=mp_vacuous|, then
|cur_exp| is irrelevant, hence we can proceed without caring if |cur_type|
and |cur_exp| are alive or dead. In such cases we say that |cur_type|
and |cur_exp| are {\sl dormant}. It is permissible to call |get_x_next|
only when they are alive or dormant.

The \\{stash} procedure above assumes that |cur_type| and |cur_exp|
are alive or dormant. The \\{unstash} procedure assumes that they are
dead or dormant; it resuscitates them.

@<Declare the stashing/unstashing...@>=
void mp_unstash_cur_exp (MP mp,pointer p) ;

@ @c
void mp_unstash_cur_exp (MP mp,pointer p) { 
  mp->cur_type=type(p);
  switch (mp->cur_type) {
  case unknown_types:
  case mp_transform_type:
  case mp_color_type:
  case mp_pair_type:
  case mp_dependent: 
  case mp_proto_dependent:
  case mp_independent:
  case mp_cmykcolor_type: 
    mp->cur_exp=p;
    break;
  default:
    mp->cur_exp=value(p);
    mp_free_node(mp, p,value_node_size);
    break;
  }
}

@ The following procedure prints the values of expressions in an
abbreviated format. If its first parameter |p| is null, the value of
|(cur_type,cur_exp)| is displayed; otherwise |p| should be a capsule
containing the desired value. The second parameter controls the amount of
output. If it is~0, dependency lists will be abbreviated to
`\.{linearform}' unless they consist of a single term.  If it is greater
than~1, complicated structures (pens, pictures, and paths) will be displayed
in full.

@ When an independent variable disappears, it simply fades away, unless
something depends on it. In the latter case, a dependent variable whose
coefficient of dependence is maximal will take its place.
The relevant algorithm is due to Ignacio~A. Zabala, who implemented it
as part of his Ph.D. thesis (Stanford University, December 1982).
@^Zabala Salelles, Ignacio Andres@>

For example, suppose that variable $x$ is being recycled, and that the
only variables depending on~$x$ are $y=2x+a$ and $z=x+b$. In this case
we want to make $y$ independent and $z=.5y-.5a+b$; no other variables
will depend on~$y$. If $\\{tracingequations}>0$ in this situation,
we will print `\.{\#\#\# -2x=-y+a}'.

There's a slight complication, however: An independent variable $x$
can occur both in dependency lists and in proto-dependency lists.
This makes it necessary to be careful when deciding which coefficient
is maximal.

Furthermore, this complication is not so slight when
a proto-dependent variable is chosen to become independent. For example,
suppose that $y=2x+100a$ is proto-dependent while $z=x+b$ is dependent;
then we must change $z=.5y-50a+b$ to a proto-dependency, because of the
large coefficient `50'.

In order to deal with these complications without wasting too much time,
we shall link together the occurrences of~$x$ among all the linear
dependencies, maintaining separate lists for the dependent and
proto-dependent cases.

@ Here are some routines that provide handy combinations of actions
that are often needed during error recovery. For example,
`|flush_error|' flushes the current expression, replaces it by
a given value, and calls |error|.

Errors often are detected after an extra token has already been scanned.
The `\\{put\_get}' routines put that token back before calling |error|;
then they get it back again. (Or perhaps they get another token, if
the user has changed things.)

@ A global variable |var_flag| is set to a special command code
just before \MP\ calls |scan_expression|, if the expression should be
treated as a variable when this command code immediately follows. For
example, |var_flag| is set to |assignment| at the beginning of a
statement, because we want to know the {\sl location\/} of a variable at
the left of `\.{:=}', not the {\sl value\/} of that variable.

The |scan_expression| subroutine calls |scan_tertiary|,
which calls |scan_secondary|, which calls |scan_primary|, which sets
|var_flag:=0|. In this way each of the scanning routines ``knows''
when it has been called with a special |var_flag|, but |var_flag| is
usually zero.

A variable preceding a command that equals |var_flag| is converted to a
token list rather than a value. Furthermore, an `\.{=}' sign following an
expression with |var_flag=assignment| is not considered to be a relation
that produces boolean expressions.

The first parsing routine, |scan_primary|, is also the most complicated one,
since it involves so many different cases. But each case---with one
exception---is fairly simple by itself.

When |scan_primary| begins, the first token of the primary to be scanned
should already appear in |cur_cmd|, |cur_mod|, and |cur_sym|. The values
of |cur_type| and |cur_exp| should be either dead or dormant, as explained
earlier. If |cur_cmd| is not between |min_primary_command| and

@ The most difficult part of |scan_primary| has been saved for last, since
it was necessary to build up some confidence first. We can now face the task
of scanning a variable.

As we scan a variable, we build a token list containing the relevant
names and subscript values, simultaneously following along in the
``collective'' structure to see if we are actually dealing with a macro
instead of a value.

The local variables |pre_head| and |post_head| will point to the beginning
of the prefix and suffix lists; |tail| will point to the end of the list
that is currently growing.

Another local variable, |tt|, contains partial information about the
declared type of the variable-so-far. If |tt>=mp_unsuffixed_macro|, the
relation |tt=type(q)| will always hold. If |tt=undefined|, the routine
doesn't bother to update its information about type. And if
|undefined<tt<mp_unsuffixed_macro|, the precise value of |tt| isn't critical.

@ How do things stand now? Well, we have scanned an entire variable name,
including possible subscripts and/or attributes; |cur_cmd|, |cur_mod|, and
|cur_sym| represent the token that follows. If |post_head=null|, a
token list for this variable name starts at |link(pre_head)|, with all
subscripts evaluated. But if |post_head<>null|, the variable turned out
to be a suffixed macro; |pre_head| is the head of the prefix list, while
|post_head| is the head of a token list containing both `\.{\AT!}' and
the suffix.

Our immediate problem is to see if this variable still exists. (Variable
structures can change drastically whenever we call |get_x_next|; users
aren't supposed to do this, but the fact that it is possible means that
we must be cautious.)

The following procedure prints an error message when a variable
unexpectedly disappears. Its help message isn't quite right for
our present purposes, but we'll be able to fix that up.

@c

After the intricacies of |scan_primary|\kern-1pt,
the |scan_secondary| routine is
refreshingly simple. It's not trivial, but the operations are relatively
straightforward; the main difficulty is, again, that expressions and data
structures might change drastically every time we call |get_x_next|, so a
cautious approach is mandatory. For example, a macro defined by
\&{primarydef} might have disappeared by the time its second argument has
been scanned; we solve this by increasing the reference count of its token
list, so that the macro can be called even after it has been clobbered.

@* \[39] Doing the operations.
The purpose of parsing is primarily to permit people to avoid piles of
parentheses. But the real work is done after the structure of an expression
has been recognized; that's when new expressions are generated. We
turn now to the guts of \MP, which handles individual operators that
have come through the parsing mechanism.

We'll start with the easy ones that take no operands, then work our way
up to operators with one and ultimately two arguments. In other words,
we will write the three procedures |do_nullary|, |do_unary|, and |do_binary|
that are invoked periodically by the expression scanners.

First let's make sure that all of the primitive operators are in the
hash table. Although |scan_primary| and its relatives made use of the
\\{cmd} code for these operators, the \\{do} routines base everything
on the \\{mod} code. For example, |do_binary| doesn't care whether the
operation it performs is a |primary_binary| or |secondary_binary|, etc.

@ Negation is easy except when the current expression
is of type |independent|, or when it is a pair with one or more
|independent| components.

It is tempting to argue that the negative of an independent variable
is an independent variable, hence we don't have to do anything when
negating it. The fallacy is that other dependent variables pointing
to the current expression must change the sign of their
coefficients if we make no change to the current expression.

Instead, we work around the problem by copying the current expression
and recycling it afterwards (cf.~the |stash_in| routine).

@ This code is based on Bogus\l{}av Jackowski's
|emergency_turningnumber| macro, with some minor changes by Taco
Hoekwater. The macro code looked more like this:
{\obeylines
vardef turning\_number primary p =
~~save res, ang, turns;
~~res := 0;
~~if length p <= 2:
~~~~if Angle ((point 0 of p) - (postcontrol 0 of p)) >= 0:  1  else: -1 fi
~~else:
~~~~for t = 0 upto length p-1 :
~~~~~~angc := Angle ((point t+1 of p)  - (point t of p))
~~~~~~~~- Angle ((point t of p) - (point t-1 of p));
~~~~~~if angc > 180: angc := angc - 360; fi;
~~~~~~if angc < -180: angc := angc + 360; fi;
~~~~~~res  := res + angc;
~~~~endfor;
~~res/360
~~fi
enddef;}
The general idea is to calculate only the sum of the angles of
straight lines between the points, of a path, not worrying about cusps
or self-intersections in the segments at all. If the segment is not
well-behaved, the result is not necesarily correct. But the old code
was not always correct either, and worse, it sometimes failed for
well-behaved paths as well. All known bugs that were triggered by the
original code no longer occur with this code, and it runs roughly 3
times as fast because the algorithm is much simpler.

@ It is possible to overflow the return value of the |turn_cycles|
function when the path is sufficiently long and winding, but I am not
going to bother testing for that. In any case, it would only return
the looped result value, which is not a big problem.

The macro code for the repeat loop was a bit nicer to look
at than the pascal code, because it could use |point -1 of p|. In
pascal, the fastest way to loop around the path is not to look
backward once, but forward twice. These defines help hide the trick.

we've seen an instance of this difficulty in the unary operation
of negation. In order to reduce the number of cases that need to be

to rid them of |independent| components. The original operands are
put into capsules called |old_p| and |old_exp|, which will be
recycled after the binary operation has been safely carried out.

@* \[40] Statements and commands.
The chief executive of \MP\ is the |do_statement| routine, which
contains the master switch that causes all the various pieces of \MP\
to do their things, in the right order.

In a sense, this is the grand climax of the program: It applies all the
tools that we have worked so hard to construct. In another sense, this is
the messiest part of the program: It necessarily refers to other pieces
of code all over the place, so that a person can't fully understand what is
going on without paging back and forth to be reminded of conventions that
are defined elsewhere. We are now at the hub of the web.

The structure of |do_statement| itself is quite simple.  The first token
of the statement is fetched using |get_x_next|.  If it can be the first
token of an expression, we look for an equation, an assignment, or a
title. Otherwise we use a \&{case} construction to branch at high speed to
the appropriate routine for various and sundry other types of commands,
each of which has an ``action procedure'' that does the necessary work.

The program uses the fact that
$$\hbox{|min_primary_command=max_statement_command=type_name|}$$
to interpret a statement that starts with, e.g., `\&{string}',
as a type declaration rather than a boolean expression.

@* \[42] Writing font metric data.
\TeX\ gets its knowledge about fonts from font metric files, also called
\.{TFM} files; the `\.T' in `\.{TFM}' stands for \TeX,
but other programs know about them too. One of \MP's duties is to
write \.{TFM} files so that the user's fonts can readily be
applied to typesetting.
@:TFM files}{\.{TFM} files@>
@^font metric files@>

The information in a \.{TFM} file appears in a sequence of 8-bit bytes.
Since the number of bytes is always a multiple of~4, we could
also regard the file as a sequence of 32-bit words, but \MP\ uses the
byte interpretation. The format of \.{TFM} files was designed by
Lyle Ramshaw in 1980. The intent is to convey a lot of different kinds
@^Ramshaw, Lyle Harold@>
of information in a compact but useful form.

@<Glob...@>=
FILE * tfm_file; /* the font metric output goes here */
char * metric_file_name; /* full name of the font metric file */

@ The first 24 bytes (6 words) of a \.{TFM} file contain twelve 16-bit
integers that give the lengths of the various subsequent portions
of the file. These twelve integers are, in order:
$$\vbox{\halign{\hfil#&$\null=\null$#\hfil\cr
|lf|&length of the entire file, in words;\cr
|lh|&length of the header data, in words;\cr
|bc|&smallest character code in the font;\cr
|ec|&largest character code in the font;\cr
|nw|&number of words in the width table;\cr
|nh|&number of words in the height table;\cr
|nd|&number of words in the depth table;\cr
|ni|&number of words in the italic correction table;\cr
|nl|&number of words in the lig/kern table;\cr
|nk|&number of words in the kern table;\cr
|ne|&number of words in the extensible character table;\cr
|np|&number of font parameter words.\cr}}$$
They are all nonnegative and less than $2^{15}$. We must have |bc-1<=ec<=255|,
|ne<=256|, and
$$\hbox{|lf=6+lh+(ec-bc+1)+nw+nh+nd+ni+nl+nk+ne+np|.}$$
Note that a font may contain as many as 256 characters (if |bc=0| and |ec=255|),
and as few as 0 characters (if |bc=ec+1|).

Incidentally, when two or more 8-bit bytes are combined to form an integer of
16 or more bits, the most significant bytes appear first in the file.
This is called BigEndian order.
@^BigEndian order@>

@ The rest of the \.{TFM} file may be regarded as a sequence of ten data
arrays.

The most important data type used here is a |fix_word|, which is
a 32-bit representation of a binary fraction. A |fix_word| is a signed
quantity, with the two's complement of the entire word used to represent
negation. Of the 32 bits in a |fix_word|, exactly 12 are to the left of the
binary point; thus, the largest |fix_word| value is $2048-2^{-20}$, and
the smallest is $-2048$. We will see below, however, that all but two of
the |fix_word| values must lie between $-16$ and $+16$.

@ The first data array is a block of header information, which contains
general facts about the font. The header must contain at least two words,
|header[0]| and |header[1]|, whose meaning is explained below.  Additional
header information of use to other software routines might also be
included, and \MP\ will generate it if the \.{headerbyte} command occurs.
For example, 16 more words of header information are in use at the Xerox
Palo Alto Research Center; the first ten specify the character coding
scheme used (e.g., `\.{XEROX TEXT}' or `\.{TEX MATHSY}'), the next five
give the font family name (e.g., `\.{HELVETICA}' or `\.{CMSY}'), and the
last gives the ``face byte.''

\yskip\hang|header[0]| is a 32-bit check sum that \MP\ will copy into
the \.{GF} output file. This helps ensure consistency between files,
since \TeX\ records the check sums from the \.{TFM}'s it reads, and these
should match the check sums on actual fonts that are used.  The actual
relation between this check sum and the rest of the \.{TFM} file is not
important; the check sum is simply an identification number with the
property that incompatible fonts almost always have distinct check sums.
@^check sum@>

\yskip\hang|header[1]| is a |fix_word| containing the design size of the
font, in units of \TeX\ points. This number must be at least 1.0; it is
fairly arbitrary, but usually the design size is 10.0 for a ``10 point''
font, i.e., a font that was designed to look best at a 10-point size,
whatever that really means. When a \TeX\ user asks for a font `\.{at}
$\delta$ \.{pt}', the effect is to override the design size and replace it
by $\delta$, and to multiply the $x$ and~$y$ coordinates of the points in
the font image by a factor of $\delta$ divided by the design size.  {\sl
All other dimensions in the\/ \.{TFM} file are |fix_word|\kern-1pt\
numbers in design-size units.} Thus, for example, the value of |param[6]|,
which defines the \.{em} unit, is often the |fix_word| value $2^{20}=1.0$,
since many fonts have a design size equal to one em.  The other dimensions
must be less than 16 design-size units in absolute value; thus,
|header[1]| and |param[1]| are the only |fix_word| entries in the whole
\.{TFM} file whose first byte might be something besides 0 or 255.

@ Next comes the |char_info| array, which contains one |char_info_word|
per character. Each word in this part of the file contains six fields
packed into four bytes as follows.

\yskip\hang first byte: |width_index| (8 bits)\par
\hang second byte: |height_index| (4 bits) times 16, plus |depth_index|
  (4~bits)\par
\hang third byte: |italic_index| (6 bits) times 4, plus |tag|
  (2~bits)\par
\hang fourth byte: |remainder| (8 bits)\par
\yskip\noindent
The actual width of a character is \\{width}|[width_index]|, in design-size
units; this is a device for compressing information, since many characters
have the same width. Since it is quite common for many characters
to have the same height, depth, or italic correction, the \.{TFM} format
imposes a limit of 16 different heights, 16 different depths, and
64 different italic corrections.

Incidentally, the relation $\\{width}[0]=\\{height}[0]=\\{depth}[0]=
\\{italic}[0]=0$ should always hold, so that an index of zero implies a
value of zero.  The |width_index| should never be zero unless the
character does not exist in the font, since a character is valid if and
only if it lies between |bc| and |ec| and has a nonzero |width_index|.

@ The |tag| field in a |char_info_word| has four values that explain how to
interpret the |remainder| field.

\yskip\hang|tag=0| (|no_tag|) means that |remainder| is unused.\par
\hang|tag=1| (|lig_tag|) means that this character has a ligature/kerning
program starting at location |remainder| in the |lig_kern| array.\par
\hang|tag=2| (|list_tag|) means that this character is part of a chain of
characters of ascending sizes, and not the largest in the chain.  The
|remainder| field gives the character code of the next larger character.\par
\hang|tag=3| (|ext_tag|) means that this character code represents an
extensible character, i.e., a character that is built up of smaller pieces
so that it can be made arbitrarily large. The pieces are specified in
|exten[remainder]|.\par
\yskip\noindent
Characters with |tag=2| and |tag=3| are treated as characters with |tag=0|
unless they are used in special circumstances in math formulas. For example,
\TeX's \.{\\sum} operation looks for a |list_tag|, and the \.{\\left}
operation looks for both |list_tag| and |ext_tag|.

@d no_tag 0 /* vanilla character */
@d lig_tag 1 /* character has a ligature/kerning program */
@d list_tag 2 /* character has a successor in a charlist */
@d ext_tag 3 /* character is extensible */

@ The |lig_kern| array contains instructions in a simple programming language
that explains what to do for special letter pairs. Each word in this array is a
|lig_kern_command| of four bytes.

\yskip\hang first byte: |skip_byte|, indicates that this is the final program
  step if the byte is 128 or more, otherwise the next step is obtained by
  skipping this number of intervening steps.\par
\hang second byte: |next_char|, ``if |next_char| follows the current character,
  then perform the operation and stop, otherwise continue.''\par
\hang third byte: |op_byte|, indicates a ligature step if less than~128,
  a kern step otherwise.\par
\hang fourth byte: |remainder|.\par
\yskip\noindent
In a kern step, an
additional space equal to |kern[256*(op_byte-128)+remainder]| is inserted
between the current character and |next_char|. This amount is
often negative, so that the characters are brought closer together
by kerning; but it might be positive.

There are eight kinds of ligature steps, having |op_byte| codes $4a+2b+c$ where
$0\le a\le b+c$ and $0\le b,c\le1$. The character whose code is
|remainder| is inserted between the current character and |next_char|;
then the current character is deleted if $b=0$, and |next_char| is
deleted if $c=0$; then we pass over $a$~characters to reach the next
current character (which may have a ligature/kerning program of its own).

If the very first instruction of the |lig_kern| array has |skip_byte=255|,
the |next_char| byte is the so-called right boundary character of this font;
the value of |next_char| need not lie between |bc| and~|ec|.
If the very last instruction of the |lig_kern| array has |skip_byte=255|,
there is a special ligature/kerning program for a left boundary character,
beginning at location |256*op_byte+remainder|.
The interpretation is that \TeX\ puts implicit boundary characters
before and after each consecutive string of characters from the same font.
These implicit characters do not appear in the output, but they can affect
ligatures and kerning.

If the very first instruction of a character's |lig_kern| program has
|skip_byte>128|, the program actually begins in location
|256*op_byte+remainder|. This feature allows access to large |lig_kern|
arrays, because the first instruction must otherwise
appear in a location |<=255|.

Any instruction with |skip_byte>128| in the |lig_kern| array must satisfy
the condition
$$\hbox{|256*op_byte+remainder<nl|.}$$
If such an instruction is encountered during
normal program execution, it denotes an unconditional halt; no ligature
command is performed.

@d stop_flag (128)
  /* value indicating `\.{STOP}' in a lig/kern program */
@d kern_flag (128) /* op code for a kern step */
@d skip_byte(A) mp->lig_kern[(A)].b0
@d next_char(A) mp->lig_kern[(A)].b1
@d op_byte(A) mp->lig_kern[(A)].b2
@d rem_byte(A) mp->lig_kern[(A)].b3

@ Extensible characters are specified by an |extensible_recipe|, which
consists of four bytes called |top|, |mid|, |bot|, and |rep| (in this
order). These bytes are the character codes of individual pieces used to
build up a large symbol.  If |top|, |mid|, or |bot| are zero, they are not
present in the built-up result. For example, an extensible vertical line is
like an extensible bracket, except that the top and bottom pieces are missing.

Let $T$, $M$, $B$, and $R$ denote the respective pieces, or an empty box
if the piece isn't present. Then the extensible characters have the form
$TR^kMR^kB$ from top to bottom, for some |k>=0|, unless $M$ is absent;
in the latter case we can have $TR^kB$ for both even and odd values of~|k|.
The width of the extensible character is the width of $R$; and the
height-plus-depth is the sum of the individual height-plus-depths of the
components used, since the pieces are butted together in a vertical list.

@d ext_top(A) mp->exten[(A)].b0 /* |top| piece in a recipe */
@d ext_mid(A) mp->exten[(A)].b1 /* |mid| piece in a recipe */
@d ext_bot(A) mp->exten[(A)].b2 /* |bot| piece in a recipe */
@d ext_rep(A) mp->exten[(A)].b3 /* |rep| piece in a recipe */

@ The final portion of a \.{TFM} file is the |param| array, which is another
sequence of |fix_word| values.

\yskip\hang|param[1]=slant| is the amount of italic slant, which is used
to help position accents. For example, |slant=.25| means that when you go
up one unit, you also go .25 units to the right. The |slant| is a pure
number; it is the only |fix_word| other than the design size itself that is
not scaled by the design size.

\hang|param[2]=space| is the normal spacing between words in text.
Note that character 040 in the font need not have anything to do with
blank spaces.

\hang|param[3]=space_stretch| is the amount of glue stretching between words.

\hang|param[4]=space_shrink| is the amount of glue shrinking between words.

\hang|param[5]=x_height| is the size of one ex in the font; it is also
the height of letters for which accents don't have to be raised or lowered.

\hang|param[6]=quad| is the size of one em in the font.

\hang|param[7]=extra_space| is the amount added to |param[2]| at the
ends of sentences.

\yskip\noindent
If fewer than seven parameters are present, \TeX\ sets the missing parameters
to zero.

@d slant_code 1
@d space_code 2
@d space_stretch_code 3
@d space_shrink_code 4
@d x_height_code 5
@d quad_code 6
@d extra_space_code 7

@ So that is what \.{TFM} files hold. One of \MP's duties is to output such
information, and it does this all at once at the end of a job.
In order to prepare for such frenetic activity, it squirrels away the
necessary facts in various arrays as information becomes available.

Character dimensions (\&{charwd}, \&{charht}, \&{chardp}, and \&{charic})
are stored respectively in |tfm_width|, |tfm_height|, |tfm_depth|, and
|tfm_ital_corr|. Other information about a character (e.g., about
its ligatures or successors) is accessible via the |char_tag| and
|char_remainder| arrays. Other information about the font as a whole
is kept in additional arrays called |header_byte|, |lig_kern|,
|kern|, |exten|, and |param|.

@ OK: We've stored all the data that is needed for the \.{TFM} file.
All that remains is to output it in the correct format.

An interesting problem needs to be solved in this connection, because
the \.{TFM} format allows at most 256~widths, 16~heights, 16~depths,
and 64~italic corrections. If the data has more distinct values than
this, we want to meet the necessary restrictions by perturbing the
given values as little as possible.

\MP\ solves this problem in two steps. First the values of a given
kind (widths, heights, depths, or italic corrections) are sorted;
then the list of sorted values is perturbed, if necessary.

The sorting operation is facilitated by having a special node of
essentially infinite |value| at the end of the current list.

@<Initialize table entries...@>=
value(inf_val)=fraction_four;

@ Straight linear insertion is good enough for sorting, since the lists
are usually not terribly long. As we work on the data, the current list
will start at |link(temp_head)| and end at |inf_val|; the nodes in this
list will be in increasing order of their |value| fields.

Given such a list, the |sort_in| function takes a value and returns a pointer
to where that value can be found in the list. The value is inserted in
the proper place, if necessary.

At the time we need to do these operations, most of \MP's work has been
completed, so we will have plenty of memory to play with. The value nodes
that are allocated for sorting will never be returned to free storage.

@d clear_the_list link(temp_head)=inf_val

@c pointer mp_sort_in (MP mp,scaled v) {
  pointer p,q,r; /* list manipulation registers */
  p=temp_head;
  while (1) { 
    q=link(p);
    if ( v<=value(q) ) break;
    p=q;
  }
  if ( v<value(q) ) {
    r=mp_get_node(mp, value_node_size); value(r)=v; link(r)=q; link(p)=r;
  }
  return link(p);
}

@ Now we come to the interesting part, where we reduce the list if necessary
until it has the required size. The |min_cover| routine is basic to this
process; it computes the minimum number~|m| such that the values of the
current sorted list can be covered by |m|~intervals of width~|d|. It
also sets the global value |perturbation| to the smallest value $d'>d$
such that the covering found by this algorithm would be different.

In particular, |min_cover(0)| returns the number of distinct values in the
current list and sets |perturbation| to the minimum distance between
adjacent values.

@c integer mp_min_cover (MP mp,scaled d) {
  pointer p; /* runs through the current list */
  scaled l; /* the least element covered by the current interval */
  integer m; /* lower bound on the size of the minimum cover */
  m=0; p=link(temp_head); mp->perturbation=el_gordo;
  while ( p!=inf_val ){ 
    incr(m); l=value(p);
    do {  p=link(p); } while (value(p)<=l+d);
    if ( value(p)-l<mp->perturbation ) 
      mp->perturbation=value(p)-l;
  }
  return m;
}

@ @<Glob...@>=
scaled perturbation; /* quantity related to \.{TFM} rounding */
integer excess; /* the list is this much too long */

@ The smallest |d| such that a given list can be covered with |m| intervals
is determined by the |threshold| routine, which is sort of an inverse
to |min_cover|. The idea is to increase the interval size rapidly until
finding the range, then to go sequentially until the exact borderline has
been discovered.

@c scaled mp_threshold (MP mp,integer m) {
  scaled d; /* lower bound on the smallest interval size */
  mp->excess=mp_min_cover(mp, 0)-m;
  if ( mp->excess<=0 ) {
    return 0;
  } else  { 
    do {  
      d=mp->perturbation;
    } while (mp_min_cover(mp, d+d)>m);
    while ( mp_min_cover(mp, d)>m ) 
      d=mp->perturbation;
    return d;
  }
}

@ The |skimp| procedure reduces the current list to at most |m| entries,
by changing values if necessary. It also sets |info(p):=k| if |value(p)|
is the |k|th distinct value on the resulting list, and it sets
|perturbation| to the maximum amount by which a |value| field has
been changed. The size of the resulting list is returned as the
value of |skimp|.

@c integer mp_skimp (MP mp,integer m) {
  scaled d; /* the size of intervals being coalesced */
  pointer p,q,r; /* list manipulation registers */
  scaled l; /* the least value in the current interval */
  scaled v; /* a compromise value */
  d=mp_threshold(mp, m); mp->perturbation=0;
  q=temp_head; m=0; p=link(temp_head);
  while ( p!=inf_val ) {
    incr(m); l=value(p); info(p)=m;
    if ( value(link(p))<=l+d ) {
      @<Replace an interval of values by its midpoint@>;
    }
    q=p; p=link(p);
  }
  return m;
}

@ @<Replace an interval...@>=
{ 
  do {  
    p=link(p); info(p)=m;
    decr(mp->excess); if ( mp->excess==0 ) d=0;
  } while (value(link(p))<=l+d);
  v=l+halfp(value(p)-l);
  if ( value(p)-v>mp->perturbation ) 
    mp->perturbation=value(p)-v;
  r=q;
  do {  
    r=link(r); value(r)=v;
  } while (r!=p);
  link(q)=p; /* remove duplicate values from the current list */
}

@ In order to get consistent widths for horizontal and vertical pen strokes, we
want \ps\ to use an integer number of pixels for the \&{setwidth} parameter.
@:setwidth}{\&{setwidth}command@>
We set |gs_width| to the ideal horizontal or vertical stroke width and then
generate \ps\ code that computes the rounded value.  For non-circular pens, the
pen shape will be rescaled so that horizontal or vertical parts of the stroke
have the computed width.

Rounding the width to whole pixels is not likely to improve the appearance of
diagonal or curved strokes, but we do it anyway for consistency.  The
\&{truncate} command generated here tends to make all the strokes a little
@:truncate}{\&{truncate} command@>
thinner, but this is appropriate for \ps's scan-conversion rules.  Even with
truncation, an ideal with of $w$~pixels gets mapped into $\lfloor w\rfloor+1$.
It would be better to have $\lceil w\rceil$ but that is ridiculously expensive
to compute in \ps.

After \.{INIMP} has seen a collection of macros, it
can write all the necessary information on an auxiliary file so
that production versions of \MP\ are able to initialize their
memory at high speed. The present section of the program takes
care of such output and input. We shall consider simultaneously
the processes of storing and restoring,
so that the inverse relation between them is clear.

The global variable |mem_ident| is a string that is printed right
after the |banner| line when \MP\ is ready to start. For \.{INIMP} this
string says simply `\.{(INIMP)}'; for other versions of \MP\ it says,
for example, `\.{(mem=plain 90.4.14)}', showing the year,
month, and day that the mem file was created. We have |mem_ident=0|
before \MP's tables are loaded.

@* \[46] The main program.
This is it: the part of \MP\ that executes all those procedures we have
written.

Well---almost. We haven't put the parsing subroutines into the
program yet; and we'd better leave space for a few more routines that may
have been forgotten.

@c @<Declare the basic parsing subroutines@>;
@<Declare miscellaneous procedures that were declared |forward|@>;
@<Last-minute procedures@>

@ We've noted that there are two versions of \MP. One, called \.{INIMP},
@.INIMP@>
has to be run first; it initializes everything from scratch, without
reading a mem file, and it has the capability of dumping a mem file.
The other one is called `\.{VIRMP}'; it is a ``virgin'' program that needs
@.VIRMP@>
to input a mem file in order to get started. \.{VIRMP} typically has
a bit more memory capacity than \.{INIMP}, because it does not need the
space consumed by the dumping/undumping routines and the numerous calls on
|primitive|, etc.

The \.{VIRMP} program cannot read a mem file instantaneously, of course;
the best implementations therefore allow for production versions of \MP\ that
not only avoid the loading routine for \PASCAL\ object code, they also have
a mem file pre-loaded. 

@<Glob...@>=
boolean ini_version; /* are we iniMP? */

@ @<Option variables@>=
boolean ini_version; /* are we iniMP? */

@ @<Set |ini_version|@>=
mp->ini_version = (opt.ini_version ? true : false);

@ Here we do whatever is needed to complete \MP's job gracefully on the
local operating system. The code here might come into play after a fatal
error; it must therefore consist entirely of ``safe'' operations that
cannot produce error messages. For example, it would be a mistake to call
|str_room| or |make_string| at this time, because a call on |overflow|
might lead to an infinite loop.

@* \[47] Debugging.
Once \MP\ is working, you should be able to diagnose most errors with
the \.{show} commands and other diagnostic features. But for the initial
stages of debugging, and for the revelation of really deep mysteries, you
can compile \MP\ with a few more aids, including the \PASCAL\ runtime
checks and its debugger. An additional routine called |debug_help|
will also come into play when you type `\.D' after an error message;
|debug_help| also occurs just before a fatal error causes \MP\ to succumb.
@^debugging@>
@^system dependencies@>

The interface to |debug_help| is primitive, but it is good enough when used
with a \PASCAL\ debugger that allows you to set breakpoints and to read
variables and change their values. After getting the prompt `\.{debug \#}', you
type either a negative number (this exits |debug_help|), or zero (this
goes to a location where you can set a breakpoint, thereby entering into
dialog with the \PASCAL\ debugger), or a positive number |m| followed by
an argument |n|. The meaning of |m| and |n| will be clear from the
program below. (If |m=13|, there is an additional argument, |l|.)

@ \MP\ used to have one single routine to print to both `write' files
and the PostScript output. Web2c redefines ``Character |k| cannot be
printed'', and that resulted in some bugs where 8-bit characters were
written to the PostScript file (reported by Wlodek Bzyl).

Also, Hans Hagen requested spaces to be output as "\\040" instead of
a plain space, since that makes it easier to parse the result file
for postprocessing.

@<Character |k| is not allowed in PostScript output@>=
  (k<=' ')||(k>'~')

@<Save the filename template@>=

  if ( mp->filename_template!=0 ) delete_str_ref(mp->filename_template);
  if ( length(mp->cur_exp)==0 ) mp->filename_template=0;
  else { 
    mp->filename_template=mp->cur_exp; add_str_ref(mp->filename_template);
  }
}

@* \[48] System-dependent changes.
This section should be replaced, if necessary, by any special
modification of the program
that are necessary to make \MP\ work at a particular installation.
It is usually best to design your change file so that all changes to
previous sections preserve the section numbering; then everybody's version
will be consistent with the published program. More extensive changes,
which introduce new sections, can be inserted here; then only the index
itself will get a new section number.
@^system dependencies@>

@* \[49] Index.
Here is where you can find all uses of each identifier in the program,
with underlined entries pointing to where the identifier was defined.
If the identifier is only one letter long, however, you get to see only
the underlined entries. {\sl All references are to section numbers instead of
page numbers.}

This index also lists error messages and other aspects of the program
that you might want to look up some day. For example, the entry
for ``system dependencies'' lists all sections that should receive
special attention from people who are installing \MP\ in a new
operating environment. A list of various things that can't happen appears
under ``this can't happen''.
Approximately 25 sections are listed under ``inner loop''; these account
for more than 60\pct! of \MP's running time, exclusive of input and output.
