=head1 NAME

PPI::Token::Symbol - A token class for variables and other symbols

=head1 INHERITANCE

  PPI::Token::Symbol
  isa PPI::Token
      isa PPI::Element

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The C<PPI::Token::Symbol> class is used to cover all tokens that represent
variables and other things that start with a sigil.

=head1 METHODS

This class has several methods beyond what is provided by its
L<PPI::Token> and L<PPI::Element> parent classes.

Most methods are provided to help work out what the object is actually
pointing at, rather than what it might appear to be pointing at.

# PPI::Token::Symbol Methods

=pod

=head2 canonical

The C<canonical> method returns a normalized, canonical version of the
symbol.

For example, it converts C<$ ::foo'bar::baz> to C<$main::foo::bar::baz>.

This does not fully resolve the symbol, but merely removes syntax
variations.

=cut

sub canonical {
	my $symbol = shift->content;
	$symbol =~ s/\s+//;
	$symbol =~ s/\'/::/g;
	$symbol =~ s/(?<=[\$\@\%\&\*])::/main::/;
	$symbol;
}

=pod

=head2 symbol

The C<symbol> method returns the ACTUAL symbol this token refers to.

A token of C<$foo> might actually be referring to C<@foo>, if it is found
in the form C<$foo[1]>.

This method attempts to resolve these issues to determine the actual
symbol.

Returns the symbol as a string.

=cut

my %cast_which_trumps_braces = map { $_ => 1 } qw{ $ @ % };

sub symbol {
	my $self   = shift;
	my $symbol = $self->canonical;

	# Immediately return the cases where it can't be anything else
	my $type = substr( $symbol, 0, 1 );
	return $symbol if $type eq '&';

	# Unless the next significant Element is a structure, it's correct.
	my $after  = $self->snext_sibling;
	return $symbol unless _INSTANCE($after, 'PPI::Structure');

	# Process the rest for cases where it might actually be something else
	my $braces = $after->braces;
	return $symbol unless defined $braces;
	if ( $type eq '$' ) {

		# If it is cast to '$' or '@', that trumps any braces
		my $before = $self->sprevious_sibling;
		return $symbol if $before &&
			$before->isa( 'PPI::Token::Cast' ) &&
			$cast_which_trumps_braces{ $before->content };

		# Otherwise the braces rule
		substr( $symbol, 0, 1, '@' ) if $braces eq '[]';
		substr( $symbol, 0, 1, '%' ) if $braces eq '{}';

	} elsif ( $type eq '@' ) {
		substr( $symbol, 0, 1, '%' ) if $braces eq '{}';

	} elsif ( $type eq '%' ) {
		substr( $symbol, 0, 1, '@' ) if $braces eq '[]';

	}

	$symbol;
}

=pod

=head2 raw_type

The C<raw_type> method returns the B<apparent> type of the symbol in the
form of its sigil.

Returns the sigil as a string.

=cut

sub raw_type {
	substr( $_[0]->content, 0, 1 );
}

=pod

=head2 symbol_type

The C<symbol_type> method returns the B<actual> type of the symbol in the
form of its sigil.

Returns the sigil as a string.

=cut

sub symbol_type {
	substr( $_[0]->symbol, 0, 1 );
