% \begin{abstract}
% The primary feature of this package is to allow many functions to be
% registered in the same callback. Depending of the type of the callback, the
% functions will be combined in some way when the callback is called. Functions
% are provided for addition and removal of individual functions from a
% callback's list, with a priority system.\par
% Additionally, you can create new callbacks that will be handled the same way
% as predefined callbacks, except that they must be called explicitly.

% \section{Documentation}
%
% Before we start, let me mention that test files are provided (they should be
% in the same directory as this PDF file). You can have a look at them,
% compile them and have a look at the log, if you want examples of how this
% module works.
%
% \subsection{Managing functions in callbacks}
%
% \luatex provides an extremely interesting feature, named callbacks. It
% allows to call some Lua functions at some points of the \TeX\ algorithm (a
% \emph{callback}), like when \TeX\ breaks likes, puts vertical spaces, etc.
% The \luatex core offers a function called \texttt{callback.register} that
% enables to register a function in a callback.
%
% The problem with |callback.register| is that is registers only one function
% in a callback. This package solves the problem by disabling
% |callback.register| and providing a new interface allowing many functions to
% be registered in a single callback.
%
% The way the functions are combined together depends on
% the type of the callback. There are currently 4 types of callback, depending
% on the calling convention of the functions the callback can hold:
% \begin{description}
%   \item[simple] is for functions that don't return anything: they are called
%     in order, all with the same argument;
%   \item[data] is for functions receiving a piece of data of nay type
%     except node list head (and possibly other arguments) and returning it
%     (possibly modified): the functions are called in order, and each is
%     passed the return value of the previous (and the other arguments
%     untouched, if any). The return value is that of the last function;
%   \item[list] is a specialized variant of \emph{data} for functions
%     filtering node lists. Such functions may return either the head of a
%     modified node list, or the boolean values |true| or |false|. The
%     functions are chained the same way as for \emph{data} except that for
%     the following. If
%     one function returns |false|, then |false| is immediately return and the
%     following functions are \emph{not} called. If one function returns
%     |true|, then the same head is passed to the next function. If all
%     functions return |true|, then |true| is returned, otherwise the return
%     value of the last function not returning |true| is used.
%   \item[first] is for functions with more complex signatures; functions in
%     this type of callback are \emph{not} combined: only the first one
%     (according to priorities) is executed.
% \end{description}
%
% To add a function to a callback, use:
% \begin{verbatim}
% luatexbase.add_to_callback(name, func, description, priority)
% \end{verbatim}
% The first argument is the name of the callback, the second is a function,
% the third one is a string used to identify the function later, and the
% optional priority is a positive integer, representing the rank of the
% function in the list of functions to be executing for this callback. So,
% |1| is the highest priority. If no priority is specified, the function is
% appended to the list, that is, its priority is the one of the last function
% plus one.
%
% The priority system is intended to help resolving conflicts between packages
% competing on the same callback, but it cannot solve every possible issue. If
% two packages request priority |1| on the same callback, then the last one
% loaded will win.
%
% To remove a function from a callback, use:
% \begin{verbatim}
% luatexbase.remove_from_callback(name, description)
% \end{verbatim}
% The first argument must be the name of the callback, and the second one the
% description used when adding the function to this callback. You can also
% remove all functions from a callback at once using
% \begin{verbatim}
% luatexbase.reset_callback(name, make_false)
% \end{verbatim}
% The |make_false| argument is optional. If it is |true| (repeat: |true|, not
% |false|) then the value |false| is registered in the callback, which has a
% special meaning for some callback.
%
% Note that |reset_callback| is very invasive since it removes all functions
% possibly installed by other packages in this callback. So, use it with care
% if there is any chance that another package wants to share this callback
% with you.
%
% When new functions are added at the beginning of the list, other functions
% are shifted down the list. To get the current rank of a function in a
% callback's list, use:
% \begin{verbatim}
% priority = luatexbase.priority_in_callback(name, description)
% \end{verbatim}
% Again, the description is the string used when adding the function. If the
% function identified by this string is not in this callback's list, the
% priority returned is the boolean value |false|.
%
% \subsection{Creating new callbacks}
%
% This package also provides a way to create and call new callbacks, in
% addition to the default \luatex callbacks.
% \begin{verbatim}
% luatexbase.create_callback(name, type, default)
% \end{verbatim}
% The first argument is the callback's name, it must be unique. Then, the type
% goes as explained above, it is given as a string. Finally all user-defined
% callbacks have a default function which must\footnote{You can obviously
% provide a dummy function. If you're doing so often, please tell me, I may
% want to make this argument optional.} be provided as the third
% argument. It will be used when no other function is registered for this
% callback.
%
% Functions are added to and removed from user-defined callbacks just the same
% way as predefined callback, so the previous section still applies. There is
% one difference, however: user-defined callbacks must be called explicitly at
% some point in your code, while predefined callbacks are called automatically
% by \luatex. To do so, use:
% \begin{verbatim}
% luatexbase.call_callback(name, arguments...)
% \end{verbatim}
% The functions registered for this callback (or the default function) will be
% called with |arguments...| as arguments.
%
% \subsubsection{Limitations}
%
% For callbacks of type |first|, our new management system isn't actually
% better than good old |callback.register|. For some of them, is may be
% possible to split them into many callbacks, so that these callbacks can
% accept multiple functions. However, its seems risky and limited in use and
% is therefore nor implemented.
%
% At some point, \pk{luatextra} used to split |open_read_file| that way, but
% support for this was removed. It may be added back (as well as support for
% other split callbacks) if it appears there is an actual need for it.
%
% \subsection{Compatibility}
%
% Some callbacks have a calling convention that varies depending on the
% version of \luatex used. This package \emph{does not} try to track the type
% of the callbacks in every possible version of \luatex. The types are based
% on the last stable beta version (0.60.2 at the time this doc is written).
%
% However, for callbacks that have the same calling convention for every
% version of \luatex, this package should work with the same range of \luatex
% version as other packages in the \pk{luatexbase} bundle (currently, 0.25.4
% to 0.60.2).

%
%    \subsubsection{Handlers}
%
%    Normal (as opposed to user-defined) callbacks have handlers depending on
%    their type. The handler function is registered into the callback when the
%    first function is added to this callback's list. Then, when the callback
%    is called, then handler takes care of running all functions in the list.
%    When the last function is removed from the callback's list, the handler
%    is unregistered.
%
%    More precisely, the functions below are used to generate a specialized
%    function (closure) for a given callback, which is the actual handler.
%
%    Handler for |list| callbacks.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
local function listhandler (name)
    return function(head,...)
        local ret
        local alltrue = true
        for _, f in ipairs(callbacklist[name]) do
            ret = f.func(head, ...)
            if ret == false then
                warn("function '%s' returned false\nin callback '%s'",
                    f.description, name)
                break
            end
            if ret ~= true then
                alltrue = false
                head = ret
            end
        end
        return alltrue and true or head
    end
end
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Handler for |data| callbacks.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
local function datahandler (name)
    return function(data, ...)
        for _, f in ipairs(callbacklist[name]) do
            data = f.func(data, ...)
        end
        return data
    end
end
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Handler for |first| callbacks. We can assume |callbacklist[name]| is not
%    empty: otherwise, the function wouldn't be registered in the callback any
%    more.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
local function firsthandler (name)
    return function(...)
        return callbacklist[name][1].func(...)
    end
end
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Handler for |simple| callbacks.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
local function simplehandler (name)
    return function(...)
        for _, f in ipairs(callbacklist[name]) do
            f.func(...)
        end
    end
end
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Finally, keep a handlers table for indexed access.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
local handlers = {
  [list]   = listhandler,
  [data]   = datahandler,
  [first]  = firsthandler,
  [simple] = simplehandler,
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    \subsubsection{Public functions for functions management}
%
%    Add a function to a callback. First check arguments.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}

%
%    This first function creates a new callback. The signature is
%    \texttt{create(name, ctype, default)} where \texttt{name} is the name of
%    the new callback to create, \texttt{ctype} is the type of callback, and
%    \texttt{default} is the default function to call if no function is
%    registered in this callback.
%
%    The created callback will behave the same way Lua\TeX\ callbacks do, you
%    can add and remove functions in it. The difference is that the callback
%    is not automatically called, the package developer creating a new
%    callback must also call it, see next function.
