This PR adds the beginnings of [AUTOVACUUM](https://www.sqlite.org/lang_vacuum.html) to Limbo. It adds a feature flag called `omit_autovacuum` which is analogous to `SQLITE_OMIT_AUTOVACUUM`. It is off by default, same as SQLite. It introduces the concept of [pointer map pages](https://www.sqlite.org/ fileformat.html#pointer_map_or_ptrmap_pages) which are reverse index pages used to map pages to their parents. This is used to swap pages (when a table is deleted for instance) to keep root pages clustered at the beginning of the file. It's also used while creating a table to ensure that root pages are clustered at the beginning (although, this isn't completely implemented yet) Finally, it also adds a couple of missing instructions like `Int64` that are required for `PRAGMA` commands related to `auto_vacuum` settings <img width="1512" alt="Screenshot 2025-05-28 at 8 47 51 PM" src="https://github.com/user- attachments/assets/d52eb74f-5b79-4d52-9401-1bdc2dcc304d" /> Closes #1600
LEMON parser generator modified to generate Rust code.
Lemon source and SQLite3 grammar were last synced as of July 2024.

SQLite
SQLite lexer and SQLite parser have been ported from C to Rust. The parser generates an AST.
Lexer/Parser:
- Keep track of position (line, column).
- Streamable (stop at the end of statement).
- Resumable (restart after the end of statement).
Lexer and parser have been tested with the following scripts:
- https://github.com/bkiers/sqlite-parser/tree/master/src/test/resources
- https://github.com/codeschool/sqlite-parser/tree/master/test/sql/official-suite which can be updated with script in https://github.com/codeschool/sqlite-parser/tree/master/test/misc
TODO:
- Check generated AST (reparse/reinject)
- If a keyword in double quotes is used in a context where it cannot be resolved to an identifier but where a string literal is allowed, then the token is understood to be a string literal instead of an identifier.
- Tests
- Do not panic while parsing
- CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE args
- Zero copy (at least tokens)

- YYERRORSYMBOL
To be fixed
- RHS are moved. Maybe it is not a problem if they are always used once. Just add a check in lemon...
%extra_argumentis not supported.- Terminal symbols generated by lemon should be dumped in a specified file.
Raison d'être
-
lemon_rust does the same thing but with an old version of
lemon. And it seems not possible to useyystackas a stack because items may be access randomly and thetop+1item can be used. -
lalrpop would be the perfect alternative but it does not support fallback/streaming (see this issue) and compilation/generation is slow.
Minimum supported Rust version (MSRV)
Latest stable Rust version at the time of release. It might compile with older versions.
