From 88278c362f4410808894987fae23a1d00b518354 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jedarden Date: Sun, 17 May 2026 23:22:53 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] feat(pdftract-4hn1): use Cow<'static, str> for diagnostic messages Changed Diagnostic::msg from String to Cow<'static, str> to avoid allocations for static error messages. Static messages now use Cow::Borrowed, while dynamic formatted messages use Cow::Owned. Also fixed peek_token lifetime issue - was returning reference to local variable, now returns reference from cache. Acceptance criteria: - Token enum with all required variants - Lexer struct with position tracking and diagnostics - Diagnostic uses Cow<'static, str> for zero-allocation static messages - All public methods implemented: new, next_token, peek_token, position, take_diagnostics - All internal helpers implemented Refs: pdftract-4hn1 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 Bead-Id: pdftract-4hn1 --- crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/lexer/mod.rs | 717 +++++++++++++++++++ notes/pdftract-4hn1.md | 53 ++ 2 files changed, 770 insertions(+) create mode 100644 crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/lexer/mod.rs create mode 100644 notes/pdftract-4hn1.md diff --git a/crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/lexer/mod.rs b/crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/lexer/mod.rs new file mode 100644 index 0000000..8d11491 --- /dev/null +++ b/crates/pdftract-core/src/parser/lexer/mod.rs @@ -0,0 +1,717 @@ +//!
