class Construct(object):
    r"""
    The mother of all constructs.

    This object is generally not directly instantiated, and it does not directly implement parsing and building, so it is largely only of interest to subclass implementors. There are also other abstract classes sitting on top of this one.

    The external user API:

    * `parse`
    * `parse_stream`
    * `parse_file`
    * `build`
    * `build_stream`
    * `build_file`
    * `sizeof`
    * `compile`
    * `benchmark`

    Subclass authors should not override the external methods. Instead, another API is available:

    * `_parse`
    * `_build`
    * `_sizeof`
    * `_actualsize`
    * `_emitparse`
    * `_emitbuild`
    * `__getstate__`
    * `__setstate__`

    Attributes and Inheritance:

    All constructs have a name and flags. The name is used for naming struct members and context dictionaries. Note that the name can be a string, or None by default. A single underscore "_" is a reserved name, used as up-level in nested containers. The name should be descriptive, short, and valid as a Python identifier, although these rules are not enforced. The flags specify additional behavioral information about this construct. Flags are used by enclosing constructs to determine a proper course of action. Flags are often inherited from inner subconstructs but that depends on each class.

#===============================================================================
class Struct(Construct):
    r"""
    Sequence of usually named constructs, similar to structs in C. The members are parsed and build in the order they are defined. If a member is anonymous (its name is None) then it gets parsed and the value discarded, or it gets build from nothing (from None).

    Some fields do not need to be named, since they are built without value anyway. See: Const Padding Check Error Pass Terminated Seek Tell for examples of such fields. 

    Operator + can also be used to make Structs (although not recommended).

    Parses into a Container (dict with attribute and key access) where keys match subcon names. Builds from a dict (not necessarily a Container) where each member gets a value from the dict matching the subcon name. If field has build-from-none flag, it gets build even when there is no matching entry in the dict. Size is the sum of all subcon sizes, unless any subcon raises SizeofError.

    This class does context nesting, meaning its members are given access to a new dictionary where the "_" entry points to the outer context. When parsing, each member gets parsed and subcon parse return value is inserted into context under matching key only if the member was named. When building, the matching entry gets inserted into context before subcon gets build, and if subcon build returns a new value (not None) that gets replaced in the context.

    This class exposes subcons as attributes. You can refer to subcons that were inlined (and therefore do not exist as variable in the namespace) by accessing the struct attributes, under same name. Also note that compiler does not support this feature. See examples.

    This class exposes subcons in the context. You can refer to subcons that were inlined (and therefore do not exist as variable in the namespace) within other inlined fields using the context. Note that you need to use a lambda (`this` expression is not supported). Also note that compiler does not support this feature. See examples.

    This class supports stopping. If :class:`~construct.core.StopIf` field is a member, and it evaluates its lambda as positive, this class ends parsing or building as successful without processing further fields.

    :param \*subcons: Construct instances, list of members, some can be anonymous
    :param \*\*subconskw: Construct instances, list of members (requires Python 3.6)

    :raises StreamError: requested reading negative amount, could not read enough bytes, requested writing different amount than actual data, or could not write all bytes
    :raises KeyError: building a subcon but found no corresponding key in dictionary

    Example::

        >>> d = Struct("num"/Int8ub, "data"/Bytes(this.num))
        >>> d.parse(b"\x04DATA")
        Container(num=4)(data=b"DATA")
        >>> d.build(dict(num=4, data=b"DATA"))
        b"\x04DATA"

        >>> d = Struct(Const(b"MZ"), Padding(2), Pass, Terminated)
        >>> d.build({})
        b'MZ\x00\x00'
        >>> d.parse(_)

    Homogenous array of elements, similar to C# generic IEnumerable<T>, but works with unknown count of elements by parsing until end of stream.

    Parses into a ListContainer (a list). Parsing stops when an exception occured when parsing the subcon, either due to EOF or subcon format not being able to parse the data. Either way, when GreedyRange encounters either failure it seeks the stream back to a position after last successful subcon parsing. Builds from enumerable, each element as-is. Size is undefined.

    This class supports stopping. If :class:`~construct.core.StopIf` field is a member, and it evaluates its lambda as positive, this class ends parsing or building as successful without processing further fields.

    :param discard: optional, bool, if set then parsing returns empty list

    :raises StreamError: requested reading negative amount, could not read enough bytes, requested writing different amount than actual data, or could not write all bytes
    :raises StreamError: stream is not seekable and tellable

class FocusedSeq(Construct):
    r"""
    Allows constructing more elaborate "adapters" than Adapter class.

    Parse does parse all subcons in sequence, but returns only the element that was selected (discards other values). Build does build all subcons in sequence, where each gets build from nothing (except the selected subcon which is given the object). Size is the sum of all subcon sizes, unless any subcon raises SizeofError.

    This class does context nesting, meaning its members are given access to a new dictionary where the "_" entry points to the outer context. When parsing, each member gets parsed and subcon parse return value is inserted into context under matching key only if the member was named. When building, the matching entry gets inserted into context before subcon gets build, and if subcon build returns a new value (not None) that gets replaced in the context.

    This class exposes subcons as attributes. You can refer to subcons that were inlined (and therefore do not exist as variable in the namespace) by accessing the struct attributes, under same name. Also note that compiler does not support this feature. See examples.

    This class exposes subcons in the context. You can refer to subcons that were inlined (and therefore do not exist as variable in the namespace) within other inlined fields using the context. Note that you need to use a lambda (`this` expression is not supported). Also note that compiler does not support this feature. See examples.

    This class is used internally to implement :class:`~construct.core.PrefixedArray`.

    :param parsebuildfrom: string name or context lambda, selects a subcon
    :param \*subcons: Construct instances, list of members, some can be named
    :param \*\*subconskw: Construct instances, list of members (requires Python 3.6)

    :raises StreamError: requested reading negative amount, could not read enough bytes, requested writing different amount than actual data, or could not write all bytes
    :raises UnboundLocalError: selector does not match any subcon

    Can propagate any exception from the lambda, possibly non-ConstructError.

class Union(Construct):
    r"""
    Treats the same data as multiple constructs (similar to C union) so you can look at the data in multiple views. Fields are usually named (so parsed values are inserted into dictionary under same name).

    Parses subcons in sequence, and reverts the stream back to original position after each subcon. Afterwards, advances the stream by selected subcon. Builds from first subcon that has a matching key in given dict. Size is undefined (because parsefrom is not used for building).

    This class does context nesting, meaning its members are given access to a new dictionary where the "_" entry points to the outer context. When parsing, each member gets parsed and subcon parse return value is inserted into context under matching key only if the member was named. When building, the matching entry gets inserted into context before subcon gets build, and if subcon build returns a new value (not None) that gets replaced in the context.

    This class exposes subcons as attributes. You can refer to subcons that were inlined (and therefore do not exist as variable in the namespace) by accessing the struct attributes, under same name. Also note that compiler does not support this feature. See examples.

    This class exposes subcons in the context. You can refer to subcons that were inlined (and therefore do not exist as variable in the namespace) within other inlined fields using the context. Note that you need to use a lambda (`this` expression is not supported). Also note that compiler does not support this feature. See examples.

    .. warning:: If you skip `parsefrom` parameter then stream will be left back at starting offset, not seeked to any common denominator.

    :param parsefrom: how to leave stream after parsing, can be integer index or string name selecting a subcon, or None (leaves stream at initial offset, the default), or context lambda
    :param \*subcons: Construct instances, list of members, some can be anonymous
    :param \*\*subconskw: Construct instances, list of members (requires Python 3.6)

    :raises StreamError: requested reading negative amount, could not read enough bytes, requested writing different amount than actual data, or could not write all bytes
    :raises StreamError: stream is not seekable and tellable
    :raises UnionError: selector does not match any subcon, or dict given to build does not contain any keys matching any subcon
    :raises IndexError: selector does not match any subcon
    :raises KeyError: selector does not match any subcon

    Can propagate any exception from the lambda, possibly non-ConstructError.

    Example::

        >>> d = Union(0, 
        ...     "raw" / Bytes(8),
        ...     "ints" / Int32ub[2],
        ...     "shorts" / Int16ub[4],
        ...     "chars" / Byte[8],
        ... )
        >>> d.parse(b"12345678")
        Container(raw=b'12345678', ints=[825373492, 892745528], shorts=[12594, 13108, 13622, 14136], chars=[49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56])
        >>> d.build(dict(chars=range(8)))
        b'\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07'

class Transformed(Subconstruct):
    r"""
    Transforms bytes between the underlying stream and the (fixed-sized) subcon.

    Parsing reads a specified amount (or till EOF), processes data using a bytes-to-bytes decoding function, then parses subcon using those data. Building does build subcon into separate bytes, then processes it using encoding bytes-to-bytes function, then writes those data into main stream. Size is reported as `decodeamount` or `encodeamount` if those are equal, otherwise its SizeofError.

    Used internally to implement :class:`~construct.core.Bitwise` :class:`~construct.core.Bytewise` :class:`~construct.core.ByteSwapped` :class:`~construct.core.BitsSwapped` .

    Possible use-cases include encryption, obfuscation, byte-level encoding.

    .. warning:: Remember that subcon must consume (or produce) an amount of bytes that is same as `decodeamount` (or `encodeamount`).

    .. warning:: Do NOT use seeking/telling classes inside Transformed context.

class Lazy(Subconstruct):
    r"""
    Lazyfies a field.

    This wrapper allows you to do lazy parsing of individual fields inside a normal Struct (without using LazyStruct which may not work in every scenario). It is also used by KaitaiStruct compiler to emit `instances` because those are not processed greedily, and they may refer to other not yet parsed fields. Those are 2 entirely different applications but semantics are the same.

    Parsing saves the current stream offset and returns a lambda. If and when that lambda gets evaluated, it seeks the stream to then-current position, parses the subcon, and seeks the stream back to previous position. Building evaluates that lambda into an object (if needed), then defers to subcon. Size also defers to subcon.

    :param subcon: Construct instance

    :raises StreamError: requested reading negative amount, could not read enough bytes, requested writing different amount than actual data, or could not write all bytes
    :raises StreamError: stream is not seekable and tellable

    Example::

        >>> d = Lazy(Byte)
        >>> x = d.parse(b'\x00')
        >>> x
        <function construct.core.Lazy._parse.<locals>.execute>
        >>> x()
        0
        >>> d.build(0)
        b'\x00'
        >>> d.build(x)
        b'\x00'

class LazyStruct(Construct):
    r"""
    Equivalent to :class:`~construct.core.Struct`, but when this class is parsed, most fields are not parsed (they are skipped if their size can be measured by _actualsize or _sizeof method). See its docstring for details.

    Fields are parsed depending on some factors:

    * Some fields like Int* Float* Bytes(5) Array(5,Byte) Pointer are fixed-size and are therefore skipped. Stream is not read.
    * Some fields like Bytes(this.field) are variable-size but their size is known during parsing when there is a corresponding context entry. Those fields are also skipped. Stream is not read.
    * Some fields like Prefixed PrefixedArray PascalString are variable-size but their size can be computed by partially reading the stream. Only first few bytes are read (the lengthfield).
    * Other fields like VarInt need to be parsed. Stream position that is left after the field was parsed is used.
    * Some fields may not work properly, due to the fact that this class attempts to skip fields, and parses them only out of necessity. Miscellaneous fields often have size defined as 0, and fixed sized fields are skippable.

    Note there are restrictions:

    * If a field like Bytes(this.field) references another field in the same struct, you need to access the referenced field first (to trigger its parsing) and then you can access the Bytes field. Otherwise it would fail due to missing context entry.
    * If a field references another field within inner (nested) or outer (super) struct, things may break. Context is nested, but this class was not rigorously tested in that manner.

    Building and sizeof are greedy, like in Struct.

    Note that it is possible to obtain same effect without using this class, using a loop. However there are usecases where that is not possible (if remaining nodes cannot be sized-up, and there is data following the recursive structure). There is also a significant difference, namely that LazyBound actually does greedy parsing while the loop does lazy parsing. See examples.

    To break recursion, use `If` field. See examples.

class Indexing(Adapter):
    r"""
    Adapter for indexing a list (getting a single item from that list). Works with Range and Sequence and their lazy equivalents.

    :param subcon: Construct instance, subcon to index
    :param count: integer, expected number of elements, needed during building
    :param index: integer, index of the list to get
    :param empty: object, value to fill the list with, during building

    Example::

        d = Indexing(Array(4,Byte), 4, 2, empty=0)
        assert d.parse(b"\x01\x02\x03\x04") == 3
        assert d.build(3) == b"\x00\x00\x03\x00"
        assert d.sizeof() == 4
