public abstract class AbstractLexer
extends java.lang.Object
implements Lexer

The AbstractLexer is a basic abstract implementation which takes care of common functionality across all Lexers, such as the buffer and offset issues, and for providing a basic LexerToken object which just stores token and offset information.

Method Detail

setTextBuffer

public void setTextBuffer(ReadTextBuffer buffer)

Sets the text buffer that is to be used by this Lexer.

Specified by:

setTextBuffer in interface Lexer

Parameters:

buffer - the text buffer to use

getTextBuffer

public ReadTextBuffer getTextBuffer()

Gets the text buffer that is being used by this Lexer.

Specified by:

getTextBuffer in interface Lexer

Returns:

the text buffer being used

setPosition

public void setPosition(int offset)

Sets the current lex (read) position to the given offset in the buffer. It is the clients responsibility to ensure that this offset corresponds to the start of a token, otherwise unexpected (and incorrect) results may occur.

Specified by:

setPosition in interface Lexer

Parameters:

offset - the offset for the next lex() operation.

createLexerToken

public LexerToken createLexerToken()

Creates an empty LexerToken for a specific Lexer implementation to be passed in to the lex() call to be filled in.

Specified by:

createLexerToken in interface Lexer

Returns:

a newly created LexerToken

lex

public abstract int lex(LexerToken lexedToken)

Scans the text buffer at the current position and returns the token that was found. The token and offset information is also stored in the lexedToken instance passed in to the call.

Specified by:

lex in interface Lexer

Parameters:

lexedToken - the instance passed in where token info is stored

Returns:

the token that was found, same as calling lexedToken.getToken() (for convenience)

backup

public abstract void backup()

Unlexes the last found token. The next call to lex() will return the last token and offset information found.

Specified by:

backup in interface Lexer
