Interface ILexer

Describes general lexer interface. Lexers turn string source input which is obtained via ISourceText implementation (i.e. FileSource,WebSource...) into tokenized stream. Some lexer implementations may support lazy analysis, that is - source text analysis which is done in chunks when lexer is iterated over, others may lex the whole source text at once

Properties

AllAnalyzed

Returns true when the shole input source has been analyzed. This property is always true for lexers that do not support lazy analysis

Declaration
bool AllAnalyzed { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

Source

References source code text that was lexed

Declaration
ISourceText Source { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
ISourceText

SourceCodeReference

References source code that was lexed

Declaration
SourceCodeRef SourceCodeReference { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
SourceCodeRef

TokenStream

Enumerates Token stream - depending on implementation enumeration may do lexical analysis token-by-token or in chunks with every enumerator advance

Declaration
IEnumerable<Token> TokenStream { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Token>

Methods

AnalyzeAll()

If lexer supports lazy analysis, forces analysis of the whole source

Declaration
void AnalyzeAll()
