;; In order to understand this program you need to understand some details
;; of the structure of the databases it reads. Axiom has 5 databases,
;; the interp.daase, operation.daase, category.daase, compress.daase, and
;; browse.daase. The compress.daase is special and does not follow the
;; normal database format.
;;
;; This documentation refers to KAF files which are random access files.
;; NRLIB files are KAF files (look for NRLIB/index.KAF)
;; The format of a random access file is
;; \begin{verbatim}
;; byte-offset-of-key-table
;; first-entry
;; second-entry
;; ...
;; last-entry
;; ((key1 . first-entry-byte-address)
;;  (key2 . second-entry-byte-address)
;;  ...
;;  (keyN . last-entry-byte-address))
;; \end{verbatim}
;; The key table is a standard lisp alist.
;;
;; To open a database you fetch the first number, seek to that location,
;; and (read) which returns the key-data alist. To look up data you
;; index into the key-data alist, find the ith-entry-byte-address,
;; seek to that address, and (read).
;;
;; For instance, see src/share/algebra/USERS.DAASE/index.KAF
;;
;; One existing optimization is that if the data is a simple thing like a
;; symbol then the nth-entry-byte-address is replaced by immediate data.
;;
;; Another existing one is a compression algorithm applied to the
;; data so that the very long names don't take up so much space.
;; We could probably remove the compression algorithm as 64k is no
;; longer considered 'huge'. The database-abbreviation routine
;; handles this on read and write-compress handles this on write.
;; The squeeze routine is used to compress the keys, the unsqueeze
;; routine uncompresses them. Making these two routines disappear
;; should remove all of the compression.
;;
;; Indeed, a faster optimization is to simply read the whole database
;; into the image before it is saved. The system would be easier to
;; understand and the interpreter would be faster.
;;
;; The system uses another optimization: database contains a stamp
;; (consisting of offset to the main list and build time).  Before
;; saving the image selected data is fetched to memory.  When the
;; saved image starts it checks if the stamp of saved data matches
;; in-core data -- in case of agreement in-core data is used.
;; Parts of the datatabase which was not pre-loaded is still
;; (lazily) fetched from the filesystem.
;;
;; Database files are very similar to KAF files except that there
;; is an optimization (currently broken) which makes the first
;; item a pair of two numbers. The first number in the pair is
;; the offset of the key-value table, the second is a time stamp.
;; If the time stamp in the database matches the time stamp in
;; the image the database is not needed (since the internal hash
;; tables already contain all of the information). When the database
;; is built the time stamp is saved in both the gcl image and the
;; database.


;;TTT 7/2/97
; Regarding the 'ancestors field for a category: At database build
; time there exists a *ancestors-hash* hash table that gets filled
; with CATEGORY (not domain) ancestor information. This later provides
; the information that goes into interp.daase This *ancestors-hash*
; does not exist at normal runtime (it can be made by a call to
; genCategoryTable). Note that the ancestor information in
; *ancestors-hash* (and hence interp.daase) involves #1, #2, etc
; instead of R, Coef, etc. The latter thingies appear in all
; .NRLIB/index.KAF files. So we need to be careful when we )lib
; categories and update the ancestor info.


; This file contains the code to build, open and access the .DAASE
; files this file contains the code to )library NRLIBS and asy files

; There is a major issue about the data that resides in these
; databases.  the fundamental problem is that the system requires more
; information to build the databases than it needs to run the
; interpreter.  in particular, MODEMAP.DAASE is constructed using
; properties like "modemaps" but the interpreter will never ask for
; this information.

; So, the design is as follows:
;  first, the MODEMAP.DAASE needs to be built. this is done by doing
; a )library on ALL of the NRLIB files that are going into the system.
; this will bring in "modemap" information and add it to the
; *modemaps-hash* hashtable.
;  next, database build proceeds, accessing the "modemap" property
; from the hashtables. once this completes this information is never
; used again.
;  next, the interp.daase database is built. this contains only the
; information necessary to run the interpreter. note that during the
; running of the interpreter users can extend the system by do a
; )library on a new NRLIB file. this will cause fields such as "modemap"
; to be read and hashed.

; In the old system each constructor (e.g. LIST) had one library directory
; (e.g. LIST.NRLIB). this directory contained a random access file called
; the index.KAF file. the interpreter needed this KAF file at runtime for
; two entries, the operationAlist and the ConstructorModemap.
; during the redesign for the new compiler we decided to merge all of
; these .NRLIB/index.KAF files into one database, INTERP.DAASE.
; requests to get information from this database are intended to be
; cached so that multiple references do not cause additional disk i/o.
; this database is left open at all times as it is used frequently by
; the interpreter. one minor complication is that newly compiled files
; need to override information that exists in this database.
;   The design calls for constructing a random read (KAF format) file
; that is accessed by functions that cache their results. when the
; database is opened the list of constructor-index pairs is hashed
; by constructor name. a request for information about a constructor
; causes the information to replace the index in the hash table. since
; the index is a number and the data is a non-numeric sexpr there is
; no source of confusion about when the data needs to be read.
;
; The format of this new database is as follows:
;
;first entry:
; an integer giving the byte offset to the constructor alist
; at the bottom of the file
;second and subsequent entries (one per constructor)
; (operationAlist)
; (constructorModemap)
; ....
;last entry: (pointed at by the first entry)
; an alist of (constructor . index) e.g.
;  ( (PI offset-of-operationAlist offset-of-constructorModemap)
;   (NNI offset-of-operationAlist offset-of-constructorModemap)
;    ....)
; This list is read at open time and hashed by the car of each item.

; the system has been changed to use the property list of the
; symbols rather than hash tables. since we already hashed once
; to get the symbol we need only an offset to get the property
; list. this also has the advantage that eq hash tables no longer
; need to be moved during garbage collection.
;  there are 3 potential speedups that could be done. the best
; would be to use the value cell of the symbol rather than the
; property list but i'm unable to determine all uses of the
; value cell at the present time.
;  a second speedup is to guarantee that the property list is
; a single item, namely the database structure. this removes
; an assoc but leaves one open to breaking the system if someone
; adds something to the property list. this was not done because
; of the danger mentioned.
;  a third speedup is to make the getdatabase call go away, either
; by making it a macro or eliding it entirely. this was not done
; because we want to keep the flexibility of changing the database
; forms.

; the new design does not use hash tables. the database structure
; contains an entry for each item that used to be in a hash table.
; initially the structure contains file-position pointers and
; these are replaced by real data when they are first looked up.
; the database structure is kept on the property list of the
; constructor, thus, (get '|DenavitHartenbergMatrix| 'database)
; will return the database structure object.

; each operation has a property on its symbol name called 'operation
; which is a list of all of the signatures of operations with that name.

; this is an initialization function for the constructor database
; it sets up 2 hash tables, opens the database and hashes the index values

; there is a slight asymmetry in this code. sourcefile information for
; system files is only the filename and extension. for user files it
; contains the full pathname. when the database is first opened the
; sourcefile slot contains system names. the lookup function
; has to prefix the $spadroot information if the directory-namestring is
; null (we don't know the real root at database build time).
; a object-hash table is set up to look up nrlib and ao information.
; this slot is empty until a user does a )library call. we remember
; the location of the nrlib or ao file for the users local library
; at that time. a NIL result from this probe means that the
; library is in the system-specified place. when we get into multiple
; library locations this will also contain system files.

; making new databases consists of:
;  1) reset all of the system hash tables
;  *) set up Union, Record and Mapping
;  2) map )library across all of the system files (fills the databases)
;  3) loading some normally autoloaded files
;  4) making some database entries that are computed (like ancestors)
;  5) writing out the databases
;  6) write out 'warm' data to be loaded into the image at build time
; note that this process should be done in a clean image
; followed by a rebuild of the system image to include
; the new index pointers (e.g. *interp-stream-stamp*)
; the system will work without a rebuild but it needs to
; re-read the databases on startup. rebuilding the system
; will cache the information into the image and the databases
; are opened but not read, saving considerable startup time.
; also note that the order the databases are written out is
; critical. interp.daase depends on prior computations and has
; to be written out last.

; how the magic works:
;  when a )library is done on a new compiler file we set up multiple
;  functions (refered to as autoloaders). there is an autoloader
;  stored in the symbol-function of the G-filename (e.g. G-basic)
;  (see set-file-getter function)
;  and an autoloader stored in the symbol-function of every domain
;  in the basic.as file ( asharpMkAutoloadFunctor )
; When a domain is needed the autoloader for the domain is executed.
;  this autoloader invokes file-getter-name to get the name of the
;  file (eg basic) and evaluates the name. the FIRST time this is done
;  for a file the file will be loaded by its autoloader, then it will
;  return the file object. every other time the file is already
;  loaded and the file object is returned directly.
; Once the file object is gotten getconstructor is called to get the
;  domain. the FIRST time this is done for the domain the autoloader
;  invokes the file object. every other time the domain already
;  exists.
