Remarks

Suggested base class for custom code generators. Each derived class is typically designed for a different kind of token.

LLPG comes with two derived classes, IntStreamCodeGenHelper for parsing input streams of characters or integers, and GeneralCodeGenHelper for parsing other streams. This class contains common code used by both, for example:

virtual LNode Loyc.LLParserGenerator.CodeGenHelperBase.ApiCall ( Symbol  apiName,
params LNode[]  args 
)
inlineprotectedvirtual

Returns an LNode representing a call to the specified LLLPG API. For example, if the user used a "inputSource=input" option, then ApiCall(_Match, F.Literal('7')) would generate a node that represents input.Match('7').

virtual LNode Loyc.LLParserGenerator.CodeGenHelperBase.ApiCall ( Symbol  apiName,
IEnumerable< LNode args,
bool  isStatic = false 
)
inlineprotectedvirtual

Returns an LNode representing a call to the specified LLLPG API. For example, if the user used a "inputSource=input" option, then ApiCall(_Match, F.Literal('7')) would generate a node that represents input.Match('7').

Parameters
argsParameters to the API call, or null to access a property or field.
virtual void Loyc.LLParserGenerator.CodeGenHelperBase.Begin ( WList< LNode classBody,
ISourceFile  sourceFile 
)
inlinevirtual

Before the parser generator generates code, it calls this method.

Parameters
classBodythe body (braced block) of the class where the code will be generated, which allows the snippet generator to add code at class level when needed.
sourceFilethe suggested ISourceFile to assign to generated code snippets.

Implements Loyc.LLParserGenerator.IPGCodeGenHelper.

virtual void Loyc.LLParserGenerator.CodeGenHelperBase.BeginRule ( Rule  rule)
inlinevirtual

Notifies the snippet generator that code generation is starting for a new rule.

Implements Loyc.LLParserGenerator.IPGCodeGenHelper.

virtual LNode Loyc.LLParserGenerator.CodeGenHelperBase.CallRule ( RuleRef  rref,
bool  recognizerMode 
)
inlinevirtual

Generates code to call a rule based on rref.Rule.Name and rref.Params.

Returns

For a normal rule call, this method should return rref.AutoSaveResult(code) where code is the code to invoke the rule.

Recognizer mode is normally implemented by calling the recognizer version of the rule in an "if" statement: if (!Scan_Foo()) return false;

Backtrack mode expects a boolean expression to be returned, normally something like Try_Scan_Foo() where the name Try_Is_Foo comes from the recognizer's Rule.TryWrapperName.

Implements Loyc.LLParserGenerator.IPGCodeGenHelper.

virtual LNode Loyc.LLParserGenerator.CodeGenHelperBase.CallTryRecognizer ( RuleRef  rref,
int  lookahead 
)
inlinevirtual

Generates a call to the Try_Scan_*() function that wraps around a Scan_*() recognizer. Called while generating code for an and-pred.

Implements Loyc.LLParserGenerator.IPGCodeGenHelper.

abstract Pred Loyc.LLParserGenerator.CodeGenHelperBase.CodeToTerminalPred ( LNode  expr,
ref string  errorMsg 
)
pure virtual

Creates a terminal predicate from a code expression.

Parameters
exprA expression provided by the user, such as "a string", a Token.Type, or a value..range. expr will not be a call to the inversion operator #~ (that's handled internally using IPGTerminalSet.Inverted()). This method also handles the "any token" input, which is an underscore by convention (_).
errorMsgAn error message to display. If the method returns null, the LLLPG macro shows this as an error; if this method does not return null, the message (if provided) is shown as a warning.
Returns
If successful, a terminal predicate; otherwise null.

Implements Loyc.LLParserGenerator.IPGCodeGenHelper.

Implemented in Loyc.LLParserGenerator.GeneralCodeGenHelper, and Loyc.LLParserGenerator.IntStreamCodeGenHelper.

inlinevirtual

Generates code for the default error branch of prediction (called when there is no explicit error branch).

Implements Loyc.LLParserGenerator.IPGCodeGenHelper.

Implements Loyc.LLParserGenerator.IPGCodeGenHelper.

virtual char Loyc.LLParserGenerator.CodeGenHelperBase.ExampleChar ( IPGTerminalSet  set)

abstract LNode Loyc.LLParserGenerator.CodeGenHelperBase.GenerateSetDecl ( IPGTerminalSet  set,
Symbol  setName 
)
protectedpure virtual

For example, if setName is foo, a set such as [aeiouy] might use an external declaration such as

HashSet&lt;int> foo = NewSet('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 'y');

Implemented in Loyc.LLParserGenerator.GeneralCodeGenHelper, and Loyc.LLParserGenerator.IntStreamCodeGenHelper.

virtual LNode Loyc.LLParserGenerator.CodeGenHelperBase.GenerateSkip ( bool  savingResult)
inlinevirtual

Returns (Skip()), or (MatchAny()) if the result is to be saved.

MSet< int >  casesToInclude,
LNode[]  branchCode,

virtual LNode Loyc.LLParserGenerator.CodeGenHelperBase.GenerateTest ( IPGTerminalSet  set,
LNode  laVar 
)
inlinevirtual

Generates code to test whether the terminal denoted 'laVar' is in the set.

Implements Loyc.LLParserGenerator.IPGCodeGenHelper.

abstract LNode Loyc.LLParserGenerator.CodeGenHelperBase.GenerateTest ( IPGTerminalSet  set,
LNode  subject,
Symbol  setName 
)
protectedpure virtual

Generates code to test whether a terminal is in the set.

Parameters
subjectRepresents the variable to be tested.
setNameNames an external set variable to use for the test.
Returns
A test expression such as (la0 >= '0' && '9' >= la0), or null if an external setName is needed and was not provided.

At first, LLParserGenerator calls this method with setName == null. If it returns null, it calls the method a second time, giving the name of an external variable in which the set is held (see GenerateSetDecl(IPGTerminalSet)).

For example, if the subject is , the test for a simple set like [a-z?] might be something like (la0 >= 'a' && 'z' >= la0) || la0 == '?'. When the setName is foo, the test might be foo.Contains(la0) instead.

If the set is inverted, return a something like -1000000 to ensure 'switch' is not used for that set.
