// This file implements the formatv() function which can be used with other LLVM
// subsystems to provide printf-like formatting, but with improved safety and
// flexibility.  The result of `formatv` is an object which can be streamed to
// a raw_ostream or converted to a std::string or llvm::SmallString.
//
//   // Convert to std::string.
//   std::string S = formatv("{0} {1}", 1234.412, "test").str();
//
//   // Convert to llvm::SmallString
//   SmallString<8> S = formatv("{0} {1}", 1234.412, "test").sstr<8>();
//
//   // Stream to an existing raw_ostream.
//   OS << formatv("{0} {1}", 1234.412, "test");

// Format text given a format string and replacement parameters.
//
// ===General Description===
//
// Formats textual output.  `Fmt` is a string consisting of one or more
// replacement sequences with the following grammar:
//
// rep_field ::= "{" [index] ["," layout] [":" format] "}"
// index     ::= <non-negative integer>
// layout    ::= [[[char]loc]width]
// format    ::= <any string not containing "{" or "}">
// char      ::= <any character except "{" or "}">
// loc       ::= "-" | "=" | "+"
// width     ::= <positive integer>
//
// index   - A non-negative integer specifying the index of the item in the
//           parameter pack to print.  Any other value is invalid.
// layout  - A string controlling how the field is laid out within the available
//           space.
// format  - A type-dependent string used to provide additional options to
//           the formatting operation.  Refer to the documentation of the
//           various individual format providers for per-type options.
// char    - The padding character.  Defaults to ' ' (space).  Only valid if
//           `loc` is also specified.
// loc     - Where to print the formatted text within the field.  Only valid if
//           `width` is also specified.
//           '-' : The field is left aligned within the available space.
//           '=' : The field is centered within the available space.
//           '+' : The field is right aligned within the available space (this
//                 is the default).
// width   - The width of the field within which to print the formatted text.
//           If this is less than the required length then the `char` and `loc`
//           fields are ignored, and the field is printed with no leading or
//           trailing padding.  If this is greater than the required length,
//           then the text is output according to the value of `loc`, and padded
//           as appropriate on the left and/or right by `char`.
//
// ===Special Characters===
//
// The characters '{' and '}' are reserved and cannot appear anywhere within a
// replacement sequence.  Outside of a replacement sequence, in order to print
// a literal '{' or '}' it must be doubled -- "{{" to print a literal '{' and
// "}}" to print a literal '}'.
//
// ===Parameter Indexing===
// `index` specifies the index of the parameter in the parameter pack to format
// into the output.  Note that it is possible to refer to the same parameter
// index multiple times in a given format string.  This makes it possible to
// output the same value multiple times without passing it multiple times to the
// function. For example:
//
//   formatv("{0} {1} {0}", "a", "bb")
//
// would yield the string "abba".  This can be convenient when it is expensive
// to compute the value of the parameter, and you would otherwise have had to
// save it to a temporary.
//
// ===Formatter Search===
//
// For a given parameter of type T, the following steps are executed in order
// until a match is found:
//
//   1. If the parameter is of class type, and inherits from format_adapter,
//      Then format() is invoked on it to produce the formatted output.  The
//      implementation should write the formatted text into `Stream`.
//   2. If there is a suitable template specialization of format_provider<>
//      for type T containing a method whose signature is:
//      void format(const T &Obj, raw_ostream &Stream, StringRef Options)
//      Then this method is invoked as described in Step 1.
//   3. If an appropriate operator<< for raw_ostream exists, it will be used.
//      For this to work, (raw_ostream& << const T&) must return raw_ostream&.
//
// If a match cannot be found through either of the above methods, a compiler
// error is generated.
//
// ===Invalid Format String Handling===
//
// In the case of a format string which does not match the grammar described
// above, the output is undefined.  With asserts enabled, LLVM will trigger an
// assertion.  Otherwise, it will try to do something reasonable, but in general
// the details of what that is are undefined.
