## an associative array of vanilla completions, keyed by command names;


##
## when we say this array stores "parsed" cspecs, we actually mean the cspecs
## have been parsed and indexed by command names in this array; cspec strings
## themselves have no difference between this array and `_raw_vanilla_cspecs`;
##
## example:
##
## _vanilla_cspecs["tee"]="complete -F _longopt tee"
## _vanilla_cspecs["type"]="complete -c type"
## _vanilla_cspecs["unalias"]="complete -a unalias"
## ...
##
declare -A __compal__vanilla_cspecs

## a set of raw vanilla completions, keyed by cspec; these raw cspecs will be
## parsed and loaded into `_vanilla_cspecs` on use; we need this lazy loading
## because parsing all cspecs on sourcing incurs a large performance overhead;
##
## vanilla completions are alias-free and fetched before `_complete_alias` is
## set as the completion function for alias commands; the way we enforce this
## partial order is to init this array on source; the sourcing happens before
## `complete -F _complete_alias ...` for obvious reasons;
##
## this is made a set, not an array, to avoid duplication when this script is
## sourced repeatedly; each sourcing overwrites previous ones on duplication;
##
## example:
##
## _raw_vanilla_cspecs["complete -F _longopt tee"]=""
## _raw_vanilla_cspecs["complete -c type"]=""
## _raw_vanilla_cspecs["complete -a unalias"]=""

## split command line into words;


##
## the `bash` reference implementation shows how bash splits command line into
## word list `COMP_WORDS`:
##
## - git repo <https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git>;
## - commit `ce23728687ce9e584333367075c9deef413553fa`;
## - function `bashline.c:attempt_shell_completion`;
## - function `bashline.c:find_cmd_end`;
## - function `bashline.c:find_cmd_start`;
## - function `pcomplete.c:command_line_to_word_list`;
## - function `pcomplete.c:programmable_completions`;
## - function `subst.c:skip_to_delim`;
## - function `subst.c:split_at_delims`;
##
## this function shall give similar result as `bash` reference implementation
## for common use cases, but will not strive for full compatibility, which is
## too complicated when written in bash; we will support additional use cases
## as they show up and prove worthy;
##
## another reason we not pursue full compatibility is, even bash itself fails
## on some use cases, such as `ping 2>&1` and `ping &>/dev/null`; ironically,
## if we define an alias and complete using `_complete_alias`, then it works:
##
## $ alias ping='ping 2>&1'
## $ complete -F _complete_alias ping
## $ ping <tab>
## {ip}
## {ip}
## {ip}
##
## backslash: a non-quoted backslash (`\`) preserves the literal value of the
## next character that follows with the exception of `<newline>`; a backslash
## enclosed in single quotes loses such special meaning; a backslash enclosed
## in double quotes retains such special meaning only when followed by one of
## the following (5) characters:
##
## $ ` " \ <newline>
##
## we do not allow `<newline>` in alias body; this simplifies our argument: a
## non-quoted backslash always preserves next character; a backslash enclosed
## in double quotes only preserves the above 4 characters (minus `<newline>`);
##
## when a command substitution is enclosed in double quotes, backslash within
## the command substitution may retain such special meaning, despite whatever
## bash manual says; compare:
##
## "`\"`"
## "$(\")"
##
## in the first form the backslash is not literal even though not followed by
## characters mentioned in section command substitution, bash manual; we will
## not handle backquote correctly in this case; as an advice, avoid backquote;
##
## warn: the output of this function is *not* a faithful split of the input;
## this function drops redirections and assignments, and only keeps the last
## command in the last pipeline;
##
## warn: this function is made for alias body expansion; as such it does not
## support commmand substitutions, etc.; if you run its output as argv, then
## you run at your own risk; quotes and escapes may also disturb the result;

##
## as an example, when `complete -p` prints:
##
## $ complete -p
## complete -F _known_hosts "/tmp/aaa bbb"
##
## copy-paste running the above output gives wrong result:
##
## $ complete -F _known_hosts "/tmp/aaa bbb"

##
## $ complete -F _known_hosts '"/tmp/aaa bbb"'
## $ complete -p
## complete -F _known_hosts "/tmp/aaa bbb"
##
## to see another issue, this command gives a different result:
##
## $ complete -F _known_hosts '/tmp/aaa\ \ \ bbb'
## $ complete -p
## complete -F _known_hosts /tmp/aaa\ \ \ bbb
##
## note that these two `complete -p` results are *not* the same:

## complete -F _known_hosts "/tmp/aaa bbb"
## complete -F _known_hosts /tmp/aaa\ \ \ bbb

## no completion for the command itself; an example is `sudo /bin/ls` when both
## `sudo` and `ls` are aliases; this function takes care of this special case;
##
## $1

## we expand aliases only for the original command line (ie: the command
## line on which user pressed `<tab>`); unfortunately, we may not have a
## chance to see the original command line, and we have no way to ensure
## that; we take an approximation: we expand aliases only in the outmost
## call of this function, which implies only on the first occasion of an
## alias command; we can ensure this condition using a refcnt and expand
## aliases iff the refcnt is equal to 0; this approximation always works
## correctly when the 1st word on the original command line is an alias;
##
## this approximation may fail when the 1st word on the original command
## line is not an alias; an example that expects files but gets ip addrs:
##
## $ unalias sudo
## $ complete -r sudo
## $ alias ls='ping'
## $ complete -F _complete_alias ls
## $ sudo ls <tab>
## {ip}

## now `j` is at the beginning of word `$COMP_WORDS[$COMP_CWORD]`; and


## we know the index range is `[j, j+${#COMP_WORDS[$COMP_CWORD]}]`; we
## include the right endpoint to cover the case where cursor is at the

## delegate completion in context; this actually contains several steps:


##
## - unmask alias:
##
## since aliases have been fully expanded, no need to consider aliases
## in the resulting command line; therefore, we now set the completion
## function for this alias to the vanilla, alias-free one; this avoids
## infinite recursion when using self-aliases (eg: `alias ls='ls -a'`);
##
## - do actual completion:
##
## `_command_offset` is a meta-command completion function provided by
## `bash-completion`; the documentation does not say it will work with
## argument `0`, but looking at its code (version 2.11) it should;
##
## - remask alias:
##
## reset this command completion function to `_complete_alias`;
##
## these steps are put into one function `_delegate_in_context`;

## this is the function to be set with `complete -F`; this function expects
## alias commands, but can also handle non-alias commands in rare occasions;
