// Package bisect can be used by compilers and other programs
// to serve as a target for the bisect debugging tool.
// See [golang.org/x/tools/cmd/bisect] for details about using the tool.
//
// To be a bisect target, allowing bisect to help determine which of a set of independent
// changes provokes a failure, a program needs to:
//
//  1. Define a way to accept a change pattern on its command line or in its environment.
//     The most common mechanism is a command-line flag.
//     The pattern can be passed to [New] to create a [Matcher], the compiled form of a pattern.
//
//  2. Assign each change a unique ID. One possibility is to use a sequence number,
//     but the most common mechanism is to hash some kind of identifying information
//     like the file and line number where the change might be applied.
//     [Hash] hashes its arguments to compute an ID.
//
//  3. Enable each change that the pattern says should be enabled.
//     The [Matcher.ShouldEnable] method answers this question for a given change ID.
//
//  4. Print a report identifying each change that the pattern says should be printed.
//     The [Matcher.ShouldPrint] method answers this question for a given change ID.
//     The report consists of one more lines on standard error or standard output
//     that contain a “match marker”. [Marker] returns the match marker for a given ID.
//     When bisect reports a change as causing the failure, it identifies the change
//     by printing the report lines with the match marker removed.
//
// # Example Usage
//
// A program starts by defining how it receives the pattern. In this example, we will assume a flag.
// The next step is to compile the pattern:
//
//	m, err := bisect.New(patternFlag)
//	if err != nil {
//		log.Fatal(err)
//	}
//
// Then, each time a potential change is considered, the program computes
// a change ID by hashing identifying information (source file and line, in this case)
// and then calls m.ShouldPrint and m.ShouldEnable to decide whether to
// print and enable the change, respectively. The two can return different values
// depending on whether bisect is trying to find a minimal set of changes to
// disable or to enable to provoke the failure.
//
// It is usually helpful to write a helper function that accepts the identifying information
// and then takes care of hashing, printing, and reporting whether the identified change
// should be enabled. For example, a helper for changes identified by a file and line number
// would be:
//
//	func ShouldEnable(file string, line int) {
//		h := bisect.Hash(file, line)
//		if m.ShouldPrint(h) {
//			fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "%v %s:%d\n", bisect.Marker(h), file, line)
//		}
//		return m.ShouldEnable(h)
//	}
//
// Finally, note that New returns a nil Matcher when there is no pattern,
// meaning that the target is not running under bisect at all,
// so all changes should be enabled and none should be printed.
// In that common case, the computation of the hash can be avoided entirely
// by checking for m == nil first:
//
//	func ShouldEnable(file string, line int) bool {
//		if m == nil {
//			return true
//		}
//		h := bisect.Hash(file, line)
//		if m.ShouldPrint(h) {
//			fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "%v %s:%d\n", bisect.Marker(h), file, line)
//		}
//		return m.ShouldEnable(h)
//	}
//
// When the identifying information is expensive to format, this code can call
// [Matcher.MarkerOnly] to find out whether short report lines containing only the
// marker are permitted for a given run. (Bisect permits such lines when it is
// still exploring the space of possible changes and will not be showing the
// output to the user.) If so, the client can choose to print only the marker:
//
//	func ShouldEnable(file string, line int) bool {
//		if m == nil {
//			return true
//		}
//		h := bisect.Hash(file, line)
//		if m.ShouldPrint(h) {
//			if m.MarkerOnly() {
//				bisect.PrintMarker(os.Stderr, h)
//			} else {
//				fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "%v %s:%d\n", bisect.Marker(h), file, line)
//			}
//		}
//		return m.ShouldEnable(h)
//	}
//
// This specific helper – deciding whether to enable a change identified by
// file and line number and printing about the change when necessary – is
// provided by the [Matcher.FileLine] method.
//
// Another common usage is deciding whether to make a change in a function
// based on the caller's stack, to identify the specific calling contexts that the
// change breaks. The [Matcher.Stack] method takes care of obtaining the stack,
// printing it when necessary, and reporting whether to enable the change
// based on that stack.
//
// # Pattern Syntax
//
// Patterns are generated by the bisect tool and interpreted by [New].
// Users should not have to understand the patterns except when
// debugging a target's bisect support or debugging the bisect tool itself.
//
// The pattern syntax selecting a change is a sequence of bit strings
// separated by + and - operators. Each bit string denotes the set of
// changes with IDs ending in those bits, + is set addition, - is set subtraction,
// and the expression is evaluated in the usual left-to-right order.
// The special binary number “y” denotes the set of all changes,
// standing in for the empty bit string.
// In the expression, all the + operators must appear before all the - operators.
// A leading + adds to an empty set. A leading - subtracts from the set of all
// possible suffixes.
//
// For example:
//
//   - “01+10” and “+01+10” both denote the set of changes
//     with IDs ending with the bits 01 or 10.
//
//   - “01+10-1001” denotes the set of changes with IDs
//     ending with the bits 01 or 10, but excluding those ending in 1001.
//
//   - “-01-1000” and “y-01-1000 both denote the set of all changes
//     with IDs not ending in 01 nor 1000.
//
//   - “0+1-01+001” is not a valid pattern, because all the + operators do not
//     appear before all the - operators.
//
// In the syntaxes described so far, the pattern specifies the changes to
// enable and report. If a pattern is prefixed by a “!”, the meaning
// changes: the pattern specifies the changes to DISABLE and report. This
// mode of operation is needed when a program passes with all changes
// enabled but fails with no changes enabled. In this case, bisect
// searches for minimal sets of changes to disable.
// Put another way, the leading “!” inverts the result from [Matcher.ShouldEnable]
// but does not invert the result from [Matcher.ShouldPrint].
//
// As a convenience for manual debugging, “n” is an alias for “!y”,
// meaning to disable and report all changes.
//
// Finally, a leading “v” in the pattern indicates that the reports will be shown
// to the user of bisect to describe the changes involved in a failure.
// At the API level, the leading “v” causes [Matcher.Visible] to return true.
// See the next section for details.
//
// # Match Reports
//
// The target program must enable only those changed matched
// by the pattern, and it must print a match report for each such change.
// A match report consists of one or more lines of text that will be
// printed by the bisect tool to describe a change implicated in causing
// a failure. Each line in the report for a given change must contain a
// match marker with that change ID, as returned by [Marker].
// The markers are elided when displaying the lines to the user.
//
// A match marker has the form “[bisect-match 0x1234]” where
// 0x1234 is the change ID in hexadecimal.
// An alternate form is “[bisect-match 010101]”, giving the change ID in binary.
//
// When [Matcher.Visible] returns false, the match reports are only
// being processed by bisect to learn the set of enabled changes,
// not shown to the user, meaning that each report can be a match
// marker on a line by itself, eliding the usual textual description.
// When the textual description is expensive to compute,
// checking [Matcher.Visible] can help the avoid that expense
// in most runs.
