// Written in the D programming language.

/**
   This module implements the formatting functionality for strings and
   I/O. It's comparable to C99's `vsprintf()` and uses a similar
   _format encoding scheme.

   For an introductory look at $(B std._format)'s capabilities and how to use
   this module see the dedicated
   $(LINK2 http://wiki.dlang.org/Defining_custom_print_format_specifiers, DWiki article).

   This module centers around two functions:

$(BOOKTABLE ,
$(TR $(TH Function Name) $(TH Description)
)
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF formattedRead))
        $(TD Reads values according to the _format string from an InputRange.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF formattedWrite))
        $(TD Formats its arguments according to the _format string and puts them
        to an OutputRange.
    ))
)

   Please see the documentation of function $(LREF formattedWrite) for a
   description of the _format string.

   Two functions have been added for convenience:

$(BOOKTABLE ,
$(TR $(TH Function Name) $(TH Description)
)
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF _format))
        $(TD Returns a GC-allocated string with the formatting result.
    ))
    $(TR $(TD $(LREF sformat))
        $(TD Puts the formatting result into a preallocated array.
    ))
)

   These two functions are publicly imported by $(MREF std, string)
   to be easily available.

   The functions $(LREF formatValue) and $(LREF unformatValue) are
   used for the plumbing.

/**********************************************************************
   Interprets variadic argument list `args`, formats them according
   to `fmt`, and sends the resulting characters to `w`. The
   encoding of the output is the same as `Char`. The type `Writer`
   must satisfy $(D $(REF isOutputRange, std,range,primitives)!(Writer, Char)).

   The variadic arguments are normally consumed in order. POSIX-style
   $(HTTP opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/printf.html,
   positional parameter syntax) is also supported. Each argument is
   formatted into a sequence of chars according to the format
   specification, and the characters are passed to `w`. As many
   arguments as specified in the format string are consumed and
   formatted. If there are fewer arguments than format specifiers, a
   `FormatException` is thrown. If there are more remaining arguments
   than needed by the format specification, they are ignored but only
   if at least one argument was formatted.

   The format string supports the formatting of array and nested array elements
   via the grouping format specifiers $(B %&#40;) and $(B %&#41;). Each
   matching pair of $(B %&#40;) and $(B %&#41;) corresponds with a single array
   argument. The enclosed sub-format string is applied to individual array
   elements.  The trailing portion of the sub-format string following the
   conversion specifier for the array element is interpreted as the array
   delimiter, and is therefore omitted following the last array element. The
   $(B %|) specifier may be used to explicitly indicate the start of the
   delimiter, so that the preceding portion of the string will be included
   following the last array element.  (See below for explicit examples.)

   Params:

   w = Output is sent to this writer. Typical output writers include
   $(REF Appender!string, std,array) and $(REF LockingTextWriter, std,stdio).

   fmt = Format string.

   args = Variadic argument list.

   Returns: Formatted number of arguments.

   Throws: Mismatched arguments and formats result in a $(D
   FormatException) being thrown.

   Format_String: <a name="format-string">$(I Format strings)</a>
   consist of characters interspersed with $(I format
   specifications). Characters are simply copied to the output (such
   as putc) after any necessary conversion to the corresponding UTF-8
   sequence.

   The format string has the following grammar:

$(PRE
$(I FormatString):
    $(I FormatStringItem)*
$(I FormatStringItem):
    $(B '%%')
    $(B '%') $(I Position) $(I Flags) $(I Width) $(I Separator) $(I Precision) $(I FormatChar)
    $(B '%$(LPAREN)') $(I FormatString) $(B '%$(RPAREN)')
    $(I OtherCharacterExceptPercent)
$(I Position):
    $(I empty)
    $(I Integer) $(B '$')
$(I Flags):
    $(I empty)
    $(B '-') $(I Flags)
    $(B '+') $(I Flags)
    $(B '#') $(I Flags)

        Entering an integer after the ',' allows to specify $(I X).
        If a '*' is placed after the ',' then $(I X) is specified by an
        additional parameter to the format function.

            a signed string of characters, otherwise it is treated as
            unsigned. An argument of type $(B bool) is formatted as '1'
            or '0'. The base used is binary for $(B b), octal for $(B o),
            decimal
            for $(B d), and hexadecimal for $(B x) or $(B X).
            $(B x) formats using lower case letters, $(B X) uppercase.
            If there are fewer resulting digits than the $(I Precision),
            leading zeros are used as necessary.
            If the $(I Precision) is 0 and the number is 0, no digits
            result.)

            $(I d.dddddd)e$(I &plusmn;dd).

            after the decimal point. It defaults to six. At least one digit
            is generated before the decimal point. If the $(I Precision)
            is zero, no decimal point is generated.)

            $(DT $(B 'g','G'))
            $(DD A floating point number is formatted in either $(B e) or
            $(B f) format for $(B g); $(B E) or $(B F) format for
            $(B G).
            The $(B f) format is used if the exponent for an $(B e) format
            is greater than -5 and less than the $(I Precision).
            The $(I Precision) specifies the number of significant
            digits, and defaults to six.
            Trailing zeros are elided after the decimal point, if the fractional
            part is zero then no decimal point is generated.)

            $(DT $(B 'a','A'))
            $(DD A floating point number is formatted in hexadecimal
            exponential notation 0x$(I h.hhhhhh)p$(I &plusmn;d).

            many after as specified by the $(I Precision).
            If the $(I Precision) is zero, no decimal point is generated.
            If there is no $(I Precision), as many hexadecimal digits as
            necessary to exactly represent the mantissa are generated.
            The exponent is written in as few digits as possible,
            but at least one, is in decimal, and represents a power of 2 as in
            $(I h.hhhhhh)*2<sup>$(I &plusmn;d)</sup>.
            The exponent for zero is zero.
            The hexadecimal digits, x and p are in upper case if the
            $(I FormatChar) is upper case.)
        ))
    )

    Floating point NaN's are formatted as $(B nan) if the
    $(I FormatChar) is lower case, or $(B NAN) if upper.
    Floating point infinities are formatted as $(B inf) or
    $(B infinity) if the
    $(I FormatChar) is lower case, or $(B INF) or $(B INFINITY) if upper.

    The positional and non-positional styles can be mixed in the same
    format string. (POSIX leaves this behavior undefined.) The internal
    counter for non-positional parameters tracks the next parameter after
    the largest positional parameter already used.

    Example using array and nested array formatting:
    -------------------------
    import std.stdio;

    void main()
    {
        writefln("My items are %(%s %).", [1,2,3]);
        writefln("My items are %(%s, %).", [1,2,3]);
    }
    -------------------------
    The output is:
$(CONSOLE
My items are 1 2 3.
My items are 1, 2, 3.
)

    The trailing end of the sub-format string following the specifier for each
    item is interpreted as the array delimiter, and is therefore omitted
    following the last array item. The $(B %|) delimiter specifier may be used
    to indicate where the delimiter begins, so that the portion of the format
    string prior to it will be retained in the last array element:
    -------------------------
    import std.stdio;

    void main()
    {
        writefln("My items are %(-%s-%|, %).", [1,2,3]);
    }
    -------------------------
    which gives the output:
$(CONSOLE
My items are -1-, -2-, -3-.
)

    These compound format specifiers may be nested in the case of a nested
    array argument:
    -------------------------
    import std.stdio;
    void main() {
         auto mat = [[1, 2, 3],
                     [4, 5, 6],
                     [7, 8, 9]];

         writefln("%(%(%d %)\n%)", mat);
         writeln();

         writefln("[%(%(%d %)\n %)]", mat);
         writeln();

         writefln("[%([%(%d %)]%|\n %)]", mat);
         writeln();
    }
    -------------------------
    The output is:
$(CONSOLE
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

[1 2 3
 4 5 6
 7 8 9]

[[1 2 3]
 [4 5 6]
 [7 8 9]]
)

    Inside a compound format specifier, strings and characters are escaped
    automatically. To avoid this behavior, add $(B '-') flag to
    `"%$(LPAREN)"`.
    -------------------------
    import std.stdio;

    void main()
    {
        writefln("My friends are %s.", ["John", "Nancy"]);
        writefln("My friends are %(%s, %).", ["John", "Nancy"]);
        writefln("My friends are %-(%s, %).", ["John", "Nancy"]);
    }
    -------------------------
   which gives the output:
$(CONSOLE
My friends are ["John", "Nancy"].
My friends are "John", "Nancy".
My friends are John, Nancy.
