(* $Id$ *)

(* This module manages customization parameters at the vernacular level     *)

(* Two kinds of things are managed : tables and options value
   - Tables are created by applying the [MakeTable] functor.
   - Variables storing options value are created by applying one of the
   [declare_sync_int_option], [declare_async_bool_option], ... functions.

   Each table/option is uniquely identified by a key of type [option_name].
   There are two kinds of table/option idenfiers: the primary ones
   (supposed to be more global) and the secondary ones

   The declaration of a table, say of name [SecondaryTable("Toto","Titi")] 
   automatically makes available the following vernacular commands:

      Add Toto Titi foo.
      Remove Toto Titi foo.
      Print Toto Titi.
      Test Toto Titi.

   The declaration of a non boolean option value, say of name
   [SecondaryTable("Tata","Tutu")], automatically makes available the
   following vernacular commands:

       Set Tata Tutu val.
       Print Tata Tutu.

   If it is the declaration of a boolean value, the following
   vernacular commands are made available:

       Set Tata Tutu.
       Unset Tata Tutu.
       Print Tata Tutu.

   For a primary table, say of name [PrimaryTable("Bidule")], the
   vernacular commands look like

      Add Bidule foo.
      Print Bidule foo.
      Set Bidule foo.
      ...

   The created table/option may be declared synchronous or not
   (synchronous = consistent with the resetting commands)                   *)

(*s Tables. *)

(* The functor [MakeTable] is for declaring a new table of key [key] 
   containing objects of type [A.t]; in spite the objects are internally
   of type [A.t], they are supposed to be added at the vernacular level 
   as objects of type [identifier] and to be printed as [section_path];
   thus two functions [encode : identifier -> A.t] and [decode : A.t
   -> section_path] have to be provided; this limitation can be make
   softer in a future version (!); the function [check] is for testing
   if a given object is allowed to be added to the table; the function
   [member_message] say what to print when invoking the "Test Toto
   Titi foo." command; at the end [title] is the table name printed
   when invoking the "Print Toto Titi." command; [active] is roughly
   the internal version of the vernacular "Test ...": it tells if a
   given object is in the table.                                            *)

module MakeTable :
  functor
    (A : sig
           type t
           val encode : identifier -> t
           val check : t -> unit
           val decode : t -> section_path
           val key : option_name
           val title : string
           val member_message : identifier -> bool -> string
           val synchronous : bool
         end) ->
    sig
      val active : A.t -> bool
    end

(*s a. Synchronous options. *)

(* These types and function are for declaring a new option of name [key]
   and default value [default]; the parameter [name] is the option name 
   used when printing the option value (command "Print Toto Titi." *)
