=head1 NAME

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

=head1 SYNOPSIS

No user-serviceable parts inside.

=head1 INHERITANCE

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

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

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

=head1 METHODS

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

=cut

package PPIx::Regexp::Element;

use strict;
use warnings;

use 5.006;

use Carp;
use List::Util qw{ first max min };
use PPIx::Regexp::Util qw{ __instance };
use Scalar::Util qw{ refaddr weaken };

use PPIx::Regexp::Constant qw{
    FALSE
    LITERAL_LEFT_CURLY_REMOVED_PHASE_1
    LOCATION_LINE
    LOCATION_CHARACTER
    LOCATION_COLUMN
    LOCATION_LOGICAL_LINE
    LOCATION_LOGICAL_FILE
    MINIMUM_PERL
    TOKEN_UNKNOWN
    TRUE
    @CARP_NOT
};

our $VERSION = '0.090';

=head2 accepts_perl

 $token->accepts_perl( '5.020' )
     and say 'This works under Perl 5.20';

This method returns a true value if the token is acceptable under the
specified version of Perl, and a false value otherwise. Unless the token
(or its contents) have been equivocated on, the result is simply what
you would expect based on testing the results of
L<perl_version_introduced()|/perl_version_introduced> and
L<perl_version_removed()|/perl_version_removed> versus the given Perl
version number.

This method was added in version 0.051_01.

=cut

sub accepts_perl {
    my ( $self, $version ) = @_;
    foreach my $check ( $self->__perl_requirements() ) {
	$version < $check->{introduced}

=head2 ancestor_of

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

=head2 class

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

=cut

sub class : method {	## no critic (ProhibitBuiltinHomonyms)
    my ( $self ) = @_;

=head2 comment

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

=head2 content

This method returns the content of the element.

=head2 explain

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

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

=head2 is_matcher

This method reports on whether the element potentially matches
something. Possible returns are a true value if it does, a false (but
defined) value if it does not, or C<undef> if this can not be
determined.

The idea is to classify elements based on whether they potentially match
something in the target string.

This method is overridden to return C<undef> in
L<PPIx::Regexp::Token::Code|PPIx::Regexp::Token::Code/is_matcher>,
L<PPIx::Regexp::Token::Interpolation|PPIx::Regexp::Token::Interpolation/is_matcher>, and
L<PPIx::Regexp::Token::Unknown|PPIx::Regexp::Token::Unknown/is_matcher>.

This method is overridden to return a true value in

L<PPIx::Regexp::Token::Literal|PPIx::Regexp::Token::Literal/is_matcher>,
and
L<PPIx::Regexp::Token::Reference|PPIx::Regexp::Token::Reference/is_matcher>.

For L<PPIx::Regexp::Node|PPIx::Regexp::Node/is_matcher>, this method is
overridden to return a value computed from the node's children.

For anything else this method returns a false (but defined) value.

=head2 in_regex_set

This method returns a true value if the invocant is contained in an
extended bracketed character class (also known as a regex set), and a
false value otherwise. This method returns true if the invocant is a

    }
    return 0;
}

=head2 is_quantifier

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

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

=cut

sub is_quantifier { return; }

=cut

sub line_number {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    return ( $self->location() || [] )->[LOCATION_LINE];

=head2 location

This method returns a reference to an array describing the position of
the element in the regular expression, or C<undef> if locations were not
indexed.

The array is compatible with the corresponding
L<PPI::Element|PPI::Element> method.

=cut

sub location {
    my ( $self ) = @_;

=head2 main_structure

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

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

=cut

sub main_structure {
    my ( $self ) = @_;

=head2 modifier_asserted

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

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

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

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

=cut

sub modifier_asserted {

=head2 next_element

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

Unlike L<next_sibling()|/next_sibling>, this will cross from the content
of a structure into the elements that define the structure, or vice
versa.

=cut

sub next_element {

Unlike L<next_element()|/next_element>, this will walk the parse tree.

none.

=cut

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

=head2 perl_version_introduced

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

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

There are also cases which are ambiguous in various ways. For those see
the L<PPIx::Regexp|PPIx::Regexp> documentation, particularly
L<Changes in Syntax|PPIx::Regexp/Changes in Syntax>.

Very occasionally, a construct will be removed and then added back. If
this happens, this method will return the B<lowest> version in which the
construct appeared. For the known instances of this, see
the L<PPIx::Regexp|PPIx::Regexp> documentation, particularly
L<Equivocation|PPIx::Regexp/Equivocation>.

=cut

sub perl_version_introduced {
    return MINIMUM_PERL;
}

=head2 perl_version_removed

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

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

Very occasionally, a construct will be removed and then added back. If
this happens, this method will return the C<undef> if the construct is
present in the highest-numbered version of Perl (whether production or
development), or the version after the highest-numbered version in which
it appeared otherwise. For the known instances of this, see the
L<PPIx::Regexp|PPIx::Regexp> documentation, particularly
L<Equivocation|PPIx::Regexp/Equivocation>.

=cut

sub perl_version_removed {

=head2 previous_element

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

Unlike L<previous_sibling()|/previous_sibling>, this will cross from
the content of a structure into the elements that define the structure,
or vice versa.

=cut

sub previous_element {
    my ( $self ) = @_;

}

=head2 previous_sibling

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

This method is analogous to the same-named L<PPI::Element|PPI::Element>
method, in that it will not cross from the content of a structure into
the elements that define the structure.

    } else {

=head2 raw_width

 my ( $raw_min, $raw_max ) = $self->raw_width();

This public method returns the minimum and maximum width matched by the
element before taking into account such details as what the element
actually is and how it is quantified. Either or both elements can be
C<undef> if the width can not be determined, and the maximum can be
C<Inf>.

This method was added in version 0.085_01.

=cut

# This implementation is appropriate to a structural element -- i.e. it
# returns C<( 0, 0 )>.

sub raw_width {
    return ( 0, 0 );
}

=head2 remove_insignificant

This method returns a new object manufactured from the invocant, but
containing only elements for which C<< $elem->significant() >> returns a
true value.

If you call this method on a L<PPIx::Regexp::Node|PPIx::Regexp::Node>
you will get back a deep clone, but without the insignificant elements.

If you call this method on any other L<PPIx::Regexp|PPIx::Regexp> class
you will get back either the invocant or nothing. This may change to a
clone of the invocant or nothing if unforeseen problems arise with
returning the invocant, or if objects become mutable (unlikely, but not
impossible.)

=cut

sub remove_insignificant {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    $self->significant()
	and return $self;
    return;

=head2 requirements_for_perl

 say $token->requirements_for_perl();

This method returns a string representing the Perl requirements for a
given module. This should only be used for informational purposes, as
the format of the string may be subject to change.

At the moment, the returns may be:

 version <= $]
 version <= $] < version
 two or more of the above joined by '||'
 ! $]

The last means that, although all the components of the regular
expression can be compiled by B<some> version of Perl, there is no
version that will compile all of them.

I reiterate: the returned string may be subject to change, maybe without
warning.

This method was added in version 0.051_01.

=cut

sub requirements_for_perl {
    my ( $self ) = @_;

    }
    @req
	or return '! $]';
    return join ' || ', @req;
}

=head2 scontent

This method returns the significant content of the element. That is, if
called on the parse of C<'/ f u b a r /x'>, it returns C<'/fubar/x'>. If
the invocant contains no insignificant elements, it is the same as
L<content()|/content>. If called on an insignificant element, it returns
nothing -- that is, C<undef> in scalar context, and an empty list in
list context.

This method was inspired by jb's question on Perl Monks about stripping
comments and white space from a regular expression:
L<https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1207556>

This method was added in version 0.053_01

otherwise.

=cut

sub significant {

=head2 snext_element

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

Unlike L<snext_sibling()|/snext_sibling>, this will cross from

or vice versa.

=cut

sub snext_element {

}

=head2 snext_sibling

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

This method is analogous to the same-named L<PPI::Element|PPI::Element>

=head2 sprevious_element

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

Unlike L<sprevious_sibling()|/sprevious_sibling>, this will cross from

=head2 sprevious_sibling

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

=head2 statement

This method returns the L<PPI::Statement|PPI::Statement> that contains
this element, or nothing if the statement can not be determined.

In general this method will return something only under the following
conditions:

=over

=item * The element is contained in a L<PPIx::Regexp|PPIx::Regexp> object;

=item * That object was initialized from a L<PPI::Element|PPI::Element>;

=item * The L<PPI::Element|PPI::Element> is contained in a statement.

=head2 tokens

This method returns all tokens contained in the element.

=cut

sub tokens {

=head2 unescaped_content

This method returns the content of the element, unescaped.

=cut

sub unescaped_content {
    return;

=head2 visual_column_number

This method returns the visual column number (taking tabs into account)
of the first character in the element, or C<undef> if that can not be
determined.

=cut

sub visual_column_number {
    my ( $self ) = @_;
    return ( $self->location() || [] )->[LOCATION_COLUMN];
}

=head2 whitespace

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

=cut

sub whitespace {
    return;
}

=head2 width

 my ( $min, $max ) = $self->width();

This method returns the minimum and maximum number of characters this
element can match.

Either element can be C<undef> if it cannot be determined. For example,
for C</$foo/> both elements will be C<undef>.  Recursions will return
C<undef> because they can not be analyzed statically -- or at least I am
not smart enough to do so. Back references B<may> return C<undef> if the
referred-to group can not be uniquely determined.

It is possible for C<$max> to be C<Inf>. For example, for C</x*/>
C<$max> will be C<Inf>.

Elements that do not actually match anything will return zeroes.

B<Note:> This method was added because I wanted better detection of
variable-length look-behinds. Both it and L<raw_width()|/raw_width>
(above) should be considered somewhat experimental.

This method was added in version 0.085_01.

=cut

sub width {
    return ( 0, 0 );

=head2 nav

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

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

=cut

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

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