=head1 NAME

IO::ScalarArray - IO:: interface for reading/writing an array of scalars

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Perform I/O on strings, using the basic OO interface...

use IO::ScalarArray;
    @data = ("My mes", "sage:\n");

### Open a handle on an array, and append to it:
    $AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
    $AH->print("Hello");
    $AH->print(", world!\nBye now!\n");
    print "The array is now: ", @data, "\n";

### Open a handle on an array, read it line-by-line, then close it:
    $AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
    while (defined($_ = $AH->getline)) {
	print "Got line: $_";
    }
    $AH->close;

### Open a handle on an array, and slurp in all the lines:
    $AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
    print "All lines:\n", $AH->getlines;

### Get the current position (either of two ways):
    $pos = $AH->getpos;
    $offset = $AH->tell;

### Set the current position (either of two ways):
    $AH->setpos($pos);
    $AH->seek($offset, 0);

### Open an anonymous temporary array:
    $AH = new IO::ScalarArray;
    $AH->print("Hi there!");
    print "I printed: ", @{$AH->aref}, "\n";      ### get at value

Don't like OO for your I/O?  No problem.
Thanks to the magic of an invisible tie(), the following now
works out of the box, just as it does with IO::Handle:

use IO::ScalarArray;
    @data = ("My mes", "sage:\n");

### Open a handle on an array, and append to it:
    $AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
    print $AH "Hello";
    print $AH ", world!\nBye now!\n";
    print "The array is now: ", @data, "\n";

### Open a handle on a string, read it line-by-line, then close it:
    $AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
    while (<$AH>) {
	print "Got line: $_";
    }
    close $AH;

### Open a handle on a string, and slurp in all the lines:
    $AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
    print "All lines:\n", <$AH>;

### Get the current position (WARNING: requires 5.6):
    $offset = tell $AH;

### Set the current position (WARNING: requires 5.6):
    seek $AH, $offset, 0;

### Open an anonymous temporary scalar:
    $AH = new IO::ScalarArray;
    print $AH "Hi there!";
    print "I printed: ", @{$AH->aref}, "\n";      ### get at value

And for you folks with 1.x code out there: the old tie() style still works,
though this is I<unnecessary and deprecated>:

use IO::ScalarArray;

### Writing to a scalar...
    my @a;
    tie *OUT, 'IO::ScalarArray', \@a;
    print OUT "line 1\nline 2\n", "line 3\n";
    print "Array is now: ", @a, "\n"

### Reading and writing an anonymous scalar...
    tie *OUT, 'IO::ScalarArray';
    print OUT "line 1\nline 2\n", "line 3\n";
    tied(OUT)->seek(0,0);
    while (<OUT>) {
        print "Got line: ", $_;
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is part of the IO::Stringy distribution;
see L<IO::Stringy> for change log and general information.

The IO::ScalarArray class implements objects which behave just like
IO::Handle (or FileHandle) objects, except that you may use them
to write to (or read from) arrays of scalars.  Logically, an
array of scalars defines an in-core "file" whose contents are
the concatenation of the scalars in the array.  The handles created by
this class are automatically C<tiehandle>d (though please see L<"WARNINGS">
for information relevant to your Perl version).

For writing large amounts of data with individual print() statements,
this class is likely to be more efficient than IO::Scalar.

Basically, this:

my @a;
    $AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@a;
    $AH->print("Hel", "lo, ");         ### OO style
    $AH->print("world!\n");            ### ditto

Or this:

my @a;
    $AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@a;
    print $AH "Hel", "lo, ";           ### non-OO style
    print $AH "world!\n";              ### ditto

Causes @a to be set to the following array of 3 strings:

( "Hel" ,
      "lo, " ,
      "world!\n" )

See L<IO::Scalar> and compare with this class.

=head1 PUBLIC INTERFACE

=head2 Construction

=over 4

=cut

#------------------------------

=item new [ARGS...]

I<Class method.>
Return a new, unattached array handle.
If any arguments are given, they're sent to open().

=cut

sub new {
    my $proto = shift;
    my $class = ref($proto) || $proto;
    my $self = bless \do { local *FH }, $class;
    tie *$self, $class, $self;
    $self->open(@_);  ### open on anonymous by default
    $self;
}
sub DESTROY {
    shift->close;
}

#------------------------------

=item open [ARRAYREF]

I<Instance method.>
Open the array handle on a new array, pointed to by ARRAYREF.
If no ARRAYREF is given, a "private" array is created to hold
the file data.

Returns the self object on success, undefined on error.

=cut

sub open {
    my ($self, $aref) = @_;

### Sanity:
    defined($aref) or do {my @a; $aref = \@a};
    (ref($aref) eq "ARRAY") or croak "open needs a ref to a array";

### Setup:
    $self->setpos([0,0]);
    *$self->{AR} = $aref;
    $self;
}

#------------------------------

=item opened

I<Instance method.>
Is the array handle opened on something?

=cut

sub opened {
    *{shift()}->{AR};
}

#------------------------------

=item close

I<Instance method.>
Disassociate the array handle from its underlying array.
Done automatically on destroy.

=cut

sub close {
    my $self = shift;
    %{*$self} = ();
    1;
}

#==============================

=head2 Input and output

=over 4

=cut

#------------------------------

=item flush

I<Instance method.>
No-op, provided for OO compatibility.

=cut

sub flush { "0 but true" }

#------------------------------

=item fileno

I<Instance method.>
No-op, returns undef

=cut

sub fileno { }

#------------------------------

=item getc

I<Instance method.>
Return the next character, or undef if none remain.
This does a read(1), which is somewhat costly.

=cut

sub getc {
    my $buf = '';
    ($_[0]->read($buf, 1) ? $buf : undef);
}

#------------------------------

=item getline

I<Instance method.>
Return the next line, or undef on end of data.
Can safely be called in an array context.
Currently, lines are delimited by "\n".

=cut

sub getline {
    my $self = shift;
    my ($str, $line) = (undef, '');

### Minimal impact implementation!
    ### We do the fast thing (no regexps) if using the
    ### classic input record separator.

### Case 1: $/ is undef: slurp all...
    if    (!defined($/)) {

return undef if ($self->eof);

### Get the rest of the current string, followed by remaining strings:
	my $ar = *$self->{AR};
	my @slurp = (
		     substr($ar->[*$self->{Str}], *$self->{Pos}),
		     @$ar[(1 + *$self->{Str}) .. $#$ar ]
		     );

### Seek to end:
	$self->_setpos_to_eof;
	return join('', @slurp);
    }

### Case 2: $/ is "\n":
    elsif ($/ eq "\012") {

### Until we hit EOF (or exited because of a found line):
	until ($self->eof) {
	    ### If at end of current string, go fwd to next one (won't be EOF):
	    if ($self->_eos) {++*$self->{Str}, *$self->{Pos}=0};

### Get ref to current string in array, and set internal pos mark:
	    $str = \(*$self->{AR}[*$self->{Str}]); ### get current string
	    pos($$str) = *$self->{Pos};            ### start matching from here

### Get from here to either \n or end of string, and add to line:
	    $$str =~ m/\G(.*?)((\n)|\Z)/g;         ### match to 1st \n or EOS
	    $line .= $1.$2;                        ### add it
	    *$self->{Pos} += length($1.$2);        ### move fwd by len matched
	    return $line if $3;                    ### done, got line with "\n"
        }
        return ($line eq '') ? undef : $line;  ### return undef if EOF
    }

### Case 3: $/ is ref to int.  Bail out.
    elsif (ref($/)) {
        croak '$/ given as a ref to int; currently unsupported';
    }

### Case 4: $/ is either "" (paragraphs) or something weird...
    ###         Bail for now.
    else {
        croak '$/ as given is currently unsupported';
    }
}

#------------------------------

=item getlines

I<Instance method.>
Get all remaining lines.
It will croak() if accidentally called in a scalar context.

=cut

sub getlines {
    my $self = shift;
    wantarray or croak("can't call getlines in scalar context!");
    my ($line, @lines);
    push @lines, $line while (defined($line = $self->getline));
    @lines;
}

#------------------------------

=item print ARGS...

I<Instance method.>
Print ARGS to the underlying array.

Currently, this always causes a "seek to the end of the array"
and generates a new array entry.  This may change in the future.

=cut

sub print {
    my $self = shift;
    push @{*$self->{AR}}, join('', @_) . (defined($\) ? $\ : "");      ### add the data
    $self->_setpos_to_eof;
    1;
}

#------------------------------

=item read BUF, NBYTES, [OFFSET];

I<Instance method.>
Read some bytes from the array.
Returns the number of bytes actually read, 0 on end-of-file, undef on error.

=cut

sub read {
    my $self = $_[0];
    ### we must use $_[1] as a ref
    my $n    = $_[2];
    my $off  = $_[3] || 0;

### print "getline\n";
    my $justread;
    my $len;
    ($off ? substr($_[1], $off) : $_[1]) = '';

### Stop when we have zero bytes to go, or when we hit EOF:
    my @got;
    until (!$n or $self->eof) {
        ### If at end of current string, go forward to next one (won't be EOF):
        if ($self->_eos) {
            ++*$self->{Str};
            *$self->{Pos} = 0;
        }

### Get longest possible desired substring of current string:
        $justread = substr(*$self->{AR}[*$self->{Str}], *$self->{Pos}, $n);
        $len = length($justread);
        push @got, $justread;
        $n            -= $len;
        *$self->{Pos} += $len;
    }
    $_[1] .= join('', @got);
    return length($_[1])-$off;
}

#------------------------------

=item write BUF, NBYTES, [OFFSET];

I<Instance method.>
Write some bytes into the array.

=cut

sub write {
    my $self = $_[0];
    my $n    = $_[2];
    my $off  = $_[3] || 0;

my $data = substr($_[1], $n, $off);
    $n = length($data);
    $self->print($data);
    return $n;

#     * The "current position" is the position before the next
#       character to be read/written.
#
#     * Str gives the string index of the current position, 0-based
#
#     * Pos gives the offset within AR[Str], 0-based.
#
#     * Inital pos is [0,0].  After print("Hello"), it is [1,0].
