// Outputting the results
// ============================================================================

// At this point, we have collected all references and accompanying insertinos
// in the source input. Two tasks remain:

// 1. We need to parse the destination files, identifying <<destinations>>.
// 2. We need to copy the destination files to the tangled files, overwriting
//    all <<destinations>> with the corresponding insertions.

// Both of these tasks will be performed in the same loop: -> main.output

  for (k = offset; k < argc; k++) {

// -> main.declarations

  int k;

// The counter k is set to the offset defined in the options section, which
// should be equal to the position of the first destination file in argv.
// We loop as long as we haven't reached the end of argv.

// On each iteration of the loop, we can obtain from argv the name of the
// destination file and copy it to a new string, adding the out_prefix. We'll
// call this string tangledfilename: -> main.declarations

  char *tangledfilename;

// -> main.output

    tangledfilename = malloc(1 + (strlen(out_prefix) + strlen(argv[k]) + 50) * sizeof(char));
    if (tangledfilename == NULL) err(1, "malloc");

    if (sprintf(tangledfilename, "%s%s", out_prefix, argv[k]) == -1)
      err(1, "sprintf");

// Now, we can open the tangled file for writing and the original destination
// file for reading. We'll call the handle for tangledfile f and the handle for
// argv[k] fo, the o standing for "original": -> main.declarations

  FILE *f;
  FILE *fo;

// -> main.output

    f = fopen(tangledfilename, "w");
    if (f == NULL) err(1, "fopen");
    fo = fopen(argv[k], "r");
    if (fo == NULL) err(1, "fopen");

// Having successfully opened the files, we have no need for tangledfilename:
// -> main.output

    free(tangledfilename);


// Parsing the current destination file and writing the tangled file
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// The destination file will be parsed in a manner similar to the way in which
// the source input was parsed. The same structure will be used: -> main.output

    line_l = 0;
    /* line_s is remembered */
    
    while ((b = fgetc(fo)) != EOF) {
      c = b;
      if (c != '\n') {
        if (line_l + 1 > line_s) {
          line_s += 20;
          tmp = realloc(line, 1 + line_s * sizeof(char));
          if (tmp == NULL) err(1, "malloc");
          line = tmp;
        }
        line[line_l++] = c;
        continue;
      }

// Again, characters will be added to the line variable until a newline is
// encountered, at which point the collected line will be finished:
// -> main.output

finish2:
      line[line_l] = '\0';
      line_l = 0; /* reset line length count */

// From here on, however, the loop will look a bit different. First, tt takes
// note of the line's indentation, saving it to the indent variable:
// -> main.declarations

  int indent;

// Only spaces are currently supported: -> main.output

      ref = line;
      for (indent = 0; *ref == ' '; ref++) indent++;

// Also, as you can see, we re-use the ref variable that was used by the input
// parsing, but which is now unused.

// Parsing the <<destination identifier>> is simple: -> main.output

      if (strncmp(ref, "<<", 2) != 0
        || strncmp(ref + strlen(ref) - 2, ">>", 2) != 0) {
        fprintf(f, "%s\n", line);
        continue;
      }

// If no potential destination is found, then the line will be written as-is to
// the tangled file, and the loop continues parsing the next line of the file.
// If a potential destination is found, however, we store it in the ref
// variable, removing the << and >> markers: -> main.output

      ref += 2;
      ref[strlen(ref) - 2] = '\0';

// There is still one thing to check, before we know that the destination is
// valid -- it must not contain any whitespace: -> main.output

      for (i = 0; i < strlen(ref); i++)
        if (isspace(ref[i])) {
          fprintf(f, "%s\n", line);
          continue;
        }

// Again, if there is whitespace, then the line does not signify a destination
// and should be printed as-is to the resulting tangled file.

// As when parsing the input, long identifiers are truncated: -> main.output

      if (strlen(ref) > REFMAX)
        fprintf(stderr,
          "Warning: Truncating identifier exceeding %d characters\n", REFMAX);

// Finally, we check whether the destination actually has been referenced by
// the source input, warning the user otherwise: -> main.output

      for (i = 0; i < refs_c; i++)
        if (strncmp(refs[i], ref, REFMAX) == 0) goto found;
      fprintf(stderr, "Unreferenced destination: %s\n", ref);
      continue;
found:

// Having established that the identified destination is referenced by the
// source input, and having stored in the local i variable the reference's
// position in the refs variable, we can retrieve the insertion for the
// reference by looking at the same position in the ins variable.

// Our first order of business is to make sure that the insertion is not empty
// -- in that case, the user is warned, and the loop goes on to the next line:
// -> main.output

      if (ins[i] == NULL) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Warning: Insertion for %s is empty\n", ref);
        continue;
      }

// Now, we are ready to write the insertion for the destination to the tangled
// file. Because each insertion is stored as an array of strings, each string
// containing a single line of the insertion, we use yet another loop:
// -> main.output

      for (j = 0; ins[i][j] != NULL; j++) {
        if (ins[i][j + 1] == NULL) {
          if (strlen(ins[i][j]) == 0)
            break; /* remove extra newline */
        }
        for (m = indent; m > 0; m--) putc(' ', f);
        fprintf(f, "%s\n", ins[i][j]);
      }
    }

// -> main.declarations

int j;
int m;

// Apart from simply printing the inserted line to the tangled file, the code
// above also skips any empty line at the end of the insertion and adds the
// indentation identified when parsing the line in the destination file
// containing the destination identifier.

// Now, we have almost finished parsing the current destination file and
// writing to the corresponding tangled file, but -- as before -- we still
// haven't processed the final line of the file, if that line ends without
// a newline. To fix that, we just run the finishing code again:
// -> main.output

    if (c != '\n') { c = '\n'; goto finish2; }

// Finally, we close the handles to the destination file and tangled file:
// -> main.output

    fclose(f);
    fclose(fo);
  }

// And that is the end of the loop. The loop continues for every destination
// file given as an argument, and when it is done, so is the program.
