Class Parser

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    DebugParser

    public class Parser
    extends BaseRecognizer
    A parser for TokenStreams. "parser grammars" result in a subclass of this.
    • Method Detail

      • reset

        public void reset()
        Description copied from class: BaseRecognizer
        reset the parser's state; subclasses must rewinds the input stream
        Overrides:
        reset in class BaseRecognizer
      • getCurrentInputSymbol

        protected Object getCurrentInputSymbol​(IntStream input)
        Description copied from class: BaseRecognizer
        Match needs to return the current input symbol, which gets put into the label for the associated token ref; e.g., x=ID. Token and tree parsers need to return different objects. Rather than test for input stream type or change the IntStream interface, I use a simple method to ask the recognizer to tell me what the current input symbol is. This is ignored for lexers.
        Overrides:
        getCurrentInputSymbol in class BaseRecognizer
      • getMissingSymbol

        protected Object getMissingSymbol​(IntStream input,
                                          RecognitionException e,
                                          int expectedTokenType,
                                          BitSet follow)
        Description copied from class: BaseRecognizer
        Conjure up a missing token during error recovery. The recognizer attempts to recover from single missing symbols. But, actions might refer to that missing symbol. For example, x=ID {f($x);}. The action clearly assumes that there has been an identifier matched previously and that $x points at that token. If that token is missing, but the next token in the stream is what we want we assume that this token is missing and we keep going. Because we have to return some token to replace the missing token, we have to conjure one up. This method gives the user control over the tokens returned for missing tokens. Mostly, you will want to create something special for identifier tokens. For literals such as '{' and ',', the default action in the parser or tree parser works. It simply creates a CommonToken of the appropriate type. The text will be the token. If you change what tokens must be created by the lexer, override this method to create the appropriate tokens.
        Overrides:
        getMissingSymbol in class BaseRecognizer
      • setTokenStream

        public void setTokenStream​(TokenStream input)
        Set the token stream and reset the parser

      • traceOut

        public void traceOut​(String ruleName,
                             int ruleIndex)
