BraceHelper

public BraceHelper(Language language)
Construct a new BraceHelper instance.

Parameters:
language - the language definition

BraceHelper

public BraceHelper(java.lang.String[][] languageBraces)
Method Detail

isOpenIndex

public boolean isOpenIndex(int index)
Fetch whether the given index is a valid index for an open brace.

Parameters:
index - the index to validate
Returns:
true if the given index is an open index

isCloseIndex

public boolean isCloseIndex(int index)
Fetch whether the given index is a valid index for a close brace.

Parameters:
index - the index to validate
Returns:
true if the given index is a close index

getBraceLength

public int getBraceLength(int index)
Fetches the length of the brace. Returns -1 if the brace index is invalid.

Parameters:
index - the brace index
Returns:
the length of the brace given by the index.

getBracePairsCount

public int getBracePairsCount()
Fetches the number of matching brace pairs in this language.

Returns:
the number of matching brace pairs.

getBraceIndex

public int getBraceIndex(ReadTextBuffer buffer,
                         int startOffset,
                         int endOffset)
Fetches the index of the brace at the specified location in the buffer.

Parameters:
buffer - the buffer where the brace is located
startOffset - the start of the brace (inclusive)
endOffset - the end of the brace (exclusive)
Returns:
the index of the brace, or -1 if it is not a valid brace

getMatchingBraceIndex

public int getMatchingBraceIndex(int index)
Fetches the index of the matching brace for the specified index. If the specified index is invalid (no matching brace), then -1 is returned.

Parameters:
index - the index of the brace to get the matching brace index for
Returns:
the index of the matching brace, or -1 if the index is invalid
