--
-- Framework for expressing monadic actions that require initialization and finalization.
-- This module provides a /functional/ interface for defining and chaining a series of processors.
--
-- Motivating example: in the IO monad, bindings to C libraries that use functions such as: f(foo *src, foo
-- *dst), where the pointer `dst` must be pre-allocated. In this case we normally do:
--
-- > foo *dst = allocateFoo();
-- > ...
-- > while (something) {
-- > f(src, dst);
-- > ...
-- > }
-- > releaseFoo(dst);
--
-- You can use the 'runUntil' function below to emulate that loop.
--
-- Processor is an instance of Category, Functor, Applicative and Arrow.
--
-- In addition to the general type @'Processor' m a b@, this module also defines (and gives a semantic model
-- for) @'Processor' IO a b@, which has synonym @'IOProcessor' a b@.

-- | The type of Processors
--
-- * @a@, @b@ = the input and output types of the processor (think a -> b)
--
-- * x = type of internal state (existentially quantified)
--
-- The arguments to the constructor are:
--
-- 1. @a -> x ->m x@ - Processing function: Takes input and internal state, and returns new internal state.
--
-- 2. @a -> m x@ - Allocator for internal state (this is run only once): Takes (usually the first) input, and returns initial internal state.
--
-- 3. @x -> m b@ - Convertor from state x to output b: Takes internal state and returns the output.
--
-- 4. @x -> m ()@ - Releaser for internal state (finalizer, run once): Run after processor is done being used, to release the internal state.
--
-- TODO: re-define in terms that don't need the @x@ existential (and the allocator), using a
-- continuation-style processing function.
--
data Processor m a b where
Processor :: Monad m => (a -> x -> m x) -> (a -> m x) -> (x -> m b) -> (x -> m ()) -> (Processor m a b)
-- | The semantic model for 'IOProcessor' is a function:
--
-- > [[ 'IOProcessor' a b ]] = a -> b
--
-- To satisfy this model, the Processor value (the implementation) must obey the rules:
--
-- 1. The processing function (@a -> x -> m x@) must act as if purely, so that indeed for a given input the
-- output is always the same. One particular thing to be careful with is that the output does not depend
-- on time (for example, you shouldn't use IOProcessor to implement an input device). The @IOSource@ type
-- is defined exactly for time-dependent processors. For pointer typed inputs and outputs, see next law.
--
-- 2. For processors that work on pointers, @[[ Ptr t ]] = t@. This is guaranteed by the following
-- implementation constraints for @IOProcessor a b@:
--
-- 1. If @a@ is a pointer type (@a = Ptr p@), then the processor must NOT write (modify) the referenced data.
--
-- 2. If @b@ is a pointer, the memory it points to (and its allocation status) is only allowed to change
-- by the processor that created it (in the processing and releasing functions). In a way this
-- generalizes the first constraint.
--
-- Note, that unlike "Yampa", this model does not allow transformations of the type @(Time -> a) -> (Time ->
-- b)@. The reason is that I want to prevent arbitrary time access (whether causal or not). This limitation
-- means that everything is essentially "point-wise" in time. To allow memory-full operations under this
-- model, 'scanlT' is defined. See <http://www.ee.bgu.ac.il/~noamle/_downloads/gaccum.pdf> for more about
-- arbitrary time access.
type IOProcessor a b = Processor IO a b
-- | @'IOSource' a b@ is the type of time-dependent processors, such that:
--
-- > [[ 'IOSource' a b ]] = (a, Time) -> b
--
-- Thus, it is ok to implement a processing action that outputs arbitrary time-dependent values during runtime
-- regardless of input. (Although the more useful case is to calculate something from the input @a@ that is
-- also time-dependent. The @a@ input is often not required and in those cases @a = ()@ is used.
--
-- Notice that this means that IOSource doesn't qualify as an 'IOProcessor'. However, currently the
-- implementation /does NOT/ enforce this, i.e. IOSource is not a newtype; I don't know how to implement it
-- correctly. Also, one question is whether primitives like "chain" will have to disallow placing 'IOSource'
-- as the second element in a chain. Maybe they should, maybe they shouldn't.

-- | Creates a processor that operates around an inner processor.
--
-- Useful for sharing resources between two actions, a pre and a post action.
--
-- The outer processor has /two/ processing functions, pre: @a->b@ and post: @c->d@. The last argument is the
-- inner processor, @Processor b c@. Thus, the resulting processor takes the @a@, processes it into a @b@,
-- feeds that through the inner processor to get a @c@, and finally post-processes the @c@ into a @d@.
--
-- /Example scenario/: A singleton hardware device context, that cannot be duplicated or allocated more than
-- once. You need to both read and write to that device. It's not possible to create two processors, one for
-- reads and one for writes, because they need to use the same allocation (the device context). With
-- wrapPrcessor you can have the read as the pre-processing and write as the post-processing. Let's call the
-- result of calling wrapProcessor except the last argument, "myDeviceProcessor". Thus, you have:
--
-- > [[ myDeviceProcessor innerProc ]] = read >>> innerProc >>> write
