Source maps allow JavaScript runtimes to match running JavaScript back to
the original source code that corresponds to it. This can be minified
JavaScript, but in our case, we're concerned with mapping pretty-printed
JavaScript back to CoffeeScript.

In order to produce maps, we must keep track of positions (line number, column number)
that originated every node in the syntax tree, and be able to generate a
[map file](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U1RGAehQwRypUTovF1KRlpiOFze0b-_2gc6fAH0KY0k/edit)
— which is a compact, VLQ-encoded representation of the JSON serialization
of this information — to write out alongside the generated JavaScript.


LineMap
-------

A **LineMap** object keeps track of information about original line and column
positions for a single line of output JavaScript code.
**SourceMaps** are implemented in terms of **LineMaps**.

    class LineMap
      constructor: (@line) ->
        @columns = []

      add: (column, [sourceLine, sourceColumn], options={}) ->
        return if @columns[column] and options.noReplace
        @columns[column] = {line: @line, column, sourceLine, sourceColumn}

      sourceLocation: (column) ->
        column-- until (mapping = @columns[column]) or (column <= 0)
        mapping and [mapping.sourceLine, mapping.sourceColumn]


SourceMap
---------

Maps locations in a single generated JavaScript file back to locations in
the original CoffeeScript source file.

This is intentionally agnostic towards how a source map might be represented on
disk. Once the compiler is ready to produce a "v3"-style source map, we can walk
through the arrays of line and column buffer to produce it.

    class SourceMap
      constructor: ->
        @lines = []

Adds a mapping to this SourceMap. `sourceLocation` and `generatedLocation`
are both `[line, column]` arrays. If `options.noReplace` is true, then if there
is already a mapping for the specified `line` and `column`, this will have no
effect.

      add: (sourceLocation, generatedLocation, options = {}) ->
        [line, column] = generatedLocation
        lineMap = (@lines[line] or= new LineMap(line))
        lineMap.add column, sourceLocation, options

Look up the original position of a given `line` and `column` in the generated
code.

      sourceLocation: ([line, column]) ->
        line-- until (lineMap = @lines[line]) or (line <= 0)
        lineMap and lineMap.sourceLocation column


V3 SourceMap Generation
-----------------------

Builds up a V3 source map, returning the generated JSON as a string.
`options.sourceRoot` may be used to specify the sourceRoot written to the source
map.  Also, `options.sourceFiles` and `options.generatedFile` may be passed to
set "sources" and "file", respectively.

      generate: (options = {}, code = null) ->
        writingline       = 0
        lastColumn        = 0
        lastSourceLine    = 0
        lastSourceColumn  = 0
        needComma         = no
        buffer            = ""

        for lineMap, lineNumber in @lines when lineMap
          for mapping in lineMap.columns when mapping
            while writingline < mapping.line
              lastColumn = 0
              needComma = no
              buffer += ";"
              writingline++

Write a comma if we've already written a segment on this line.

            if needComma
              buffer += ","
              needComma = no

Write the next segment. Segments can be 1, 4, or 5 values.  If just one, then it
is a generated column which doesn't match anything in the source code.

The starting column in the generated source, relative to any previous recorded
column for the current line:

            buffer += @encodeVlq mapping.column - lastColumn
            lastColumn = mapping.column

The index into the list of sources:

            buffer += @encodeVlq 0

The starting line in the original source, relative to the previous source line.

            buffer += @encodeVlq mapping.sourceLine - lastSourceLine
            lastSourceLine = mapping.sourceLine

The starting column in the original source, relative to the previous column.

            buffer += @encodeVlq mapping.sourceColumn - lastSourceColumn
            lastSourceColumn = mapping.sourceColumn
            needComma = yes

Produce the canonical JSON object format for a "v3" source map.

        v3 =
          version:    3
          file:       options.generatedFile or ''
          sourceRoot: options.sourceRoot or ''
          sources:    options.sourceFiles or ['']
          names:      []
          mappings:   buffer

        v3.sourcesContent = [code] if options.inlineMap

        v3


Base64 VLQ Encoding
-------------------

Note that SourceMap VLQ encoding is "backwards".  MIDI-style VLQ encoding puts
the most-significant-bit (MSB) from the original value into the MSB of the VLQ
encoded value (see [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Uintvar_coding.svg)).
SourceMap VLQ does things the other way around, with the least significat four
bits of the original value encoded into the first byte of the VLQ encoded value.

      VLQ_SHIFT            = 5
      VLQ_CONTINUATION_BIT = 1 << VLQ_SHIFT             # 0010 0000
      VLQ_VALUE_MASK       = VLQ_CONTINUATION_BIT - 1   # 0001 1111

      encodeVlq: (value) ->
        answer = ''

        # Least significant bit represents the sign.
        signBit = if value < 0 then 1 else 0

        # The next bits are the actual value.
        valueToEncode = (Math.abs(value) << 1) + signBit

        # Make sure we encode at least one character, even if valueToEncode is 0.
        while valueToEncode or not answer
          nextChunk = valueToEncode & VLQ_VALUE_MASK
          valueToEncode = valueToEncode >> VLQ_SHIFT
          nextChunk |= VLQ_CONTINUATION_BIT if valueToEncode
          answer += @encodeBase64 nextChunk

        answer


Regular Base64 Encoding
-----------------------

      BASE64_CHARS = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/'

      encodeBase64: (value) ->
        BASE64_CHARS[value] or throw new Error "Cannot Base64 encode value: #{value}"
