[ExtensionDictionary::] Dictionary.
To maintain a database of names and constructions in all extensions
so far used by this installation of Inform, and spot potential namespace
clashes.
@h The dictionary file.
Each time an extension is successfully used, a dictionary of items defined in
the user's extensions is updated: this is used to generate the dynamic
documentation on installed extensions, and is stored between runs in a cache
file inside the Inform GUI applications. The dictionary is a UTF-8 encoded
text file, kept in the user's transient storage area. (It's no enormous
loss if this should be mislaid.)
=
filename *ExtensionDictionary::filename(void) {
pathname *P = Supervisor::transient();
if (P == NULL) return NULL;
P = Pathnames::down(P, I"Documentation");
P = Pathnames::down(P, I"Census");
return Filenames::in(P, I"Dictionary.txt");
}
@ In December 2007, the dictionary file of a user who had employed 155 different
extensions (by 33 different authors) contained 2223 entries, the longest of
which formed a line 95 characters long: the most prolific extension made 380
definitions. The total file size was about 130K.
Typical dictionary file contents look like this. The four columns are author,
title, headword and category.

It is not necessarily stored in a sorted form, and no ordering of lines is
guaranteed.
The special entries with category "indexing" have two roles: they are
markers that the extension in question is indexed in the dictionary, and
they record the last date on which the extension was used.
Note that the stroke character is illegal in unquoted Inform source text,
and therefore also in excerpts with meanings, in extension titles and in
author names. It can therefore safely be used as a field divider.
@h Storage in memory.
Each record (i.e., line in the above file) is stored in memory thus. A
record marked "to be erased" will not be saved back to the file in due course.

@h Erasing entries.
As noted above, any entry marked |erased| is not written back to the
dictionary file, and effectively that takes it out of the dictionary for
subsequent runs of Inform.
This arises when we are making the dictionary entries for an extension which
was used on the current run. Before making new entries, we erase all entries
left over from some previous usage of it: it may, after all, have changed.

@h Sorting the extension dictionary.
This function returns the number of (unerased) entries in the dictionary,
and on its exit the (unerased) entries each occur once in alphabetical
order in the linked list beginning at |first_in_sorted_dictionary|.
If two entries have identical headwords, the earliest created is the
one which appears earlier in the sorted dictionary.
We pass this job on to the standard C library |qsort|, in hopes that it is
reasonably efficiently implemented: we certainly don't want to use an
algorithm likely to have $O(n^2)$ running time, given that $n$ is plausibly
as high as 10,000.

return no_entries;
}
@ Dictionary entries must be in mixed case: we might have both "green" the
colour and "Green" the kind of person (an environmental activist), say.
But we want to compare them with |strcmp|, which is much faster than its
case-insensitive analogue. So we trade memory for speed and store a modified
form of the headword in which spaces are removed and letters are reduced
to lower case; note that this is no larger than the original, so there is
no risk of the |sorting| string (which is 10 characters longer than the
unprocessed version) overflowing. Note: later we shall rely on the first
character of the sorting text being the lower-case form of the first
character of the original word.
We then append the allocation ID number, padded with initial zeros. We do
this so that (i) all sorting texts will be distinct, and (ii) alphabetical
order for sorting texts derived from two identical headword texts will
correspond to creation order. This ensures that |qsort|'s output will be
predictable -- implementations of Quicksort do not otherwise guarantee this,
since implementations have the freedom to sort unstably in different ways.

@ So, then, "clashes". These occur if, say, two extensions define "chopper" as
a kind of vehicle (for instance, meaning a helicopter in one and a motorcycle
in the other). This results in two dictionary entries under "chopper" and is
recorded as a clash between them. Often, more will turn up: perhaps "chopper"
might elsewhere mean a butchery tool. In the event of 3 or more clashing
entries, $A, B, C, ...$, a linked list of ordered pairs $(A,B), (A,C), ...$ is
maintained where in each pair the first term (the left one) is from an
extension lexicographically earlier than the second (the right one).

@ Every clash of names arises from definitions made in a pair of EDEs,
which we shall call left and right. Each distinct KEC ("known extension
clash") represents a different pair of extensions which clash, one
example of a name clashing between them, and a count of the number of
such names.
(a) Given a pair of extensions, the left one is the one whose author name
followed by title is lexicographically earlier. Since we are only concerned
with clashes between different extensions, this unambiguously decides which
is leftmost, as title and author suffice to identify extensions.
(b) Similarly, given a pair of EDEs, the left one is the one whose definition
arises from the lefthand extension. (So, for instance, any definition made
in one of Eric Eve's extensions is always to the left of any definition in
one of John Clemens's.) Different EDEs deriving from the same extension do
not exemplify a clash.
(c) For each extension L, there is at most one KEC whose left EDE derives
from L and which has the "first known" flag set.
If such a KEC does not exist, then L does not clash with any other
extension.
If such a KEC does exist, then it is the head of a linked list of
KECs all of which have lefthand EDE deriving from L, and in which no two
entries have righthand EDEs deriving from the same extension as each other.
It follows that we can determine if extensions X and Y clash by arranging
them as L and R (rule (a)), looking for L among the left EDEs of all KECs
with the "first known" flag set (rule (c)), and then looking for Y among
the right EDEs of all KECs in the list which hangs from that (rule (c.2)).
Should either of these searches fail, there is no clash between X and Y.
Should both succeed, then the KEC found provides a single example of the
clash (in its left and right EDEs), together with the number of clashes.
If there are $n$ extensions then there could in theory be $n(n-1)/2$ KECs,
which might amount to a lot of storage. In practice, though, Inform source
text tends to be dispersed around the cloud of English nouns and adjectives
fairly well, and since extension authors use each other's extensions, there
is also some social pressure to reduce the number of clashes. The user
mentioned above who had installed 155 different extensions -- for a possible
11,935 distinct clashing pairs -- in fact observed 15 such pairs, mostly arising
from part-finished drafts which had borrowed source text from pieces of other
extensions. Of the few remaining, several were cases where the same name
occurred in rival extensions aspiring to do much the same thing as each
other: for instance, "current quip" was defined by two different conversation
extensions. The only clashes of different meanings which might both be needed,
and which seem to have arisen spontaneously, were from definitions of the
words "seen" and "implicit", both treacherously ambiguous. Clashes did
not seem to have arisen from homonyms like "lead" (the substance) versus
"lead" (the cable to a pair of headphones).
