I think populate_value() should not take state; that is the root
cause of this mistake.
The flow should be:
- verify_format() looks at the format string and enumerates all
atoms that will ever be used in the output by calling
parse_atom() and letting it to fill used_atom[];
- when ref->value is not yet populated, populate_value() is
called, just once. This uses the enumeration in used_atom[]
and stores computed value to refs->value[atom];
- show_ref() repeatedly calls find_next() to find the next
reference to %(...), emits everything before it, and then
uses the atom value (i.e. ref->value[atom]).
I would expect that the atom value for pseudos like color and align
to be parsed and stored in ref->value in populate_value() when it is
called for the first time for each ref _just once_.
"color:blue" may choose to store "blue" as v->s, and "align:4" may
choose to do "v->ul = 4".
And the code that uses these values should look more like:
for (cp = format; *cp && (sp = find_next(cp)); cp = ep + 1) {
struct atom_value *atomv;
ep = strchr(sp, ')');
if (cp < sp)
emit(cp, sp);
get_ref_atom_value(info, parse_ref_filter_atom(sp + 2, ep),
&atomv);
if (atomv->is_pseudo)
apply_pseudo_state(&state, atomv);
else
print_value(&state, atomv);
}
where apply_pseudo_state() would switch on what kind of pseudo the
atom is and update the state accordingly, i.e. the "state" munging
code you added to populate_value() in this patch.
