32 ;; An "undoable stack" is an object that can be used to implement
|
|
|
33 ;; a history of positions, with undo and redo. Conceptually, it
|
|
|
34 ;; is the kind of data structure used to keep track of (e.g.)
|
|
|
35 ;; visited Web pages, so that the "Back" and "Forward" operations
|
|
|
36 ;; in the browser work. Basically, I can successively visit a
|
|
|
37 ;; number of Web pages through links, and then hit "Back" a
|
|
|
38 ;; few times to go to previous positions, and then "Forward" a
|
|
|
39 ;; few times to reverse this process. This is similar to an
|
|
|
40 ;; "undo" and "redo" mechanism.
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 ;; Note that Emacs does not standardly contain structures like
|
|
|
43 ;; this. Instead, it implements history using either a ring
|
|
|
44 ;; (the kill ring, the mark ring), or something like the undo
|
|
|
45 ;; stack, where successive "undo" operations get recorded as
|
|
|
46 ;; normal modifications, so that if you do a bunch of successive
|
|
|
47 ;; undo's, then something else, then start undoing, you will
|
|
|
48 ;; be redoing all your undo's back to the point before you did
|
|
|
49 ;; the undo's, and then further undo's will act like the previous
|
|
|
50 ;; round of undo's. I think that both of these paradigms are
|
|
|
51 ;; inferior to the "undoable-stack" paradigm because they're
|
|
|
52 ;; confusing and difficult to keep track of.
|
|
|
53
|
|
|
54 ;; Conceptually, imagine a position history like this:
|
|
|
55
|
|
|
56 ;; 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6
|
|
|
57 ;; ^^
|
|
|
58
|
|
|
59 ;; where the arrow indicates where you currently are. "Going back"
|
|
|
60 ;; and "going forward" just amount to moving the arrow. However,
|
|
|
61 ;; what happens if the history state is this:
|
|
|
62
|
|
|
63 ;; 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6
|
|
|
64 ;; ^^
|
|
|
65
|
|
|
66 ;; and then I visit new positions (7) and (8)? In the most general
|
|
|
67 ;; implementation, you've just caused a new branch like this:
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
69 ;; 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6
|
|
|
70 ;; |
|
|
|
71 ;; |
|
|
|
72 ;; 7 -> 8
|
|
|
73 ;; ^^
|
|
|
74
|
|
|
75 ;; But then you can end up with a whole big tree, and you need
|
|
|
76 ;; more sophisticated ways of navigating ("Forward" might involve
|
|
|
77 ;; a choice of paths to follow) and managing its size (if you don't
|
|
|
78 ;; want to keep unlimited history, you have to truncate at some point,
|
|
|
79 ;; and how do you truncate a tree?)
|
|
|
80
|
|
|
81 ;; My solution to this is just to insert the new positions like
|
|
|
82 ;; this:
|
|
|
83
|
|
|
84 ;; 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 7 -> 8 -> 5 -> 6
|
|
|
85 ;; ^^
|
|
|
86
|
|
|
87 ;; (Netscape, I think, would just truncate 5 and 6 completely,
|
|
|
88 ;; but that seems a bit drastic. In the Emacs-standard "ring"
|
|
|
89 ;; structure, this problem is avoided by simply moving 5 and 6
|
|
|
90 ;; to the beginning of the ring. However, it doesn't seem
|
|
|
91 ;; logical to me to have "going back past 1" get you to 6.)
|
|
|
92
|
|
|
93 ;; Now what if we have a "maximum" size of (say) 7 elements?
|
|
|
94 ;; When we add 8, we could truncate either 1 or 6. Since 5 and
|
|
|
95 ;; 6 are "undone" positions, we should presumably truncate
|
|
|
96 ;; them before 1. So, adding 8 truncates 6, adding 9 truncates
|
|
|
97 ;; 5, and adding 10 truncates 1 because there is nothing more
|
|
|
98 ;; that is forward of the insertion point.
|
|
|
99
|
|
|
100 ;; Interestingly, this method of truncation is almost like
|
|
|
101 ;; how a ring would truncate. A ring would move 5 and 6
|
|
|
102 ;; around to the back, like this:
|
|
|
103
|
|
|
104 ;; 5 -> 6 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 7 -> 8
|
|
|
105 ;; ^^
|
|
|
106
|
|
|
107 ;; However, when 8 is added, the ring truncates 5 instead of
|
|
|
108 ;; 6, which is less than optimal.
|
|
|
109
|
|
|
110 ;; Conceptually, we can implement the "undoable stack" using
|
|
|
111 ;; two stacks of a sort called "truncatable stack", which are
|
|
|
112 ;; just simple stacks, but where you can truncate elements
|
|
|
113 ;; off of the bottom of the stack. Then, the undoable stack
|
|
|
114
|
|
|
115 ;; 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6
|
|
|
116 ;; ^^
|
|
|
117
|
|
|
118 ;; is equivalent to two truncatable stacks:
|
|
|
119
|
|
|
120 ;; 4 <- 3 <- 2 <- 1
|
|
|
121 ;; 5 <- 6
|
|
|
122
|
|
|
123 ;; where I reversed the direction to accord with the probable
|
|
|
124 ;; implementation of a standard list. To do another undo,
|
|
|
125 ;; I pop 4 off of the first stack and move it to the top of
|
|
|
126 ;; the second stack. A redo operation does the opposite.
|
|
|
127 ;; To truncate to the proper size, first chop off 6, then 5,
|
|
|
128 ;; then 1 -- in all cases, truncating off the bottom.
