				class Lexer
				;

Constructors

Name	Description
`this` (filename, base, begoffset, endoffset, doDocComment, commentToken)	Creates a Lexer for the source code base[begoffset..endoffset+1]. The last character, base[endoffset], must be null (0) or EOF (0x1A).

Methods

Name	Description
`allocateToken` ()
`combineComments` (c1, c2, newParagraph)	Combine two document comments into one, separated by an extra newline if newParagraph is true.
`peekNext` ()	Look ahead at next token's value.
`peekNext2` ()	Look 2 tokens ahead at value.
`peekPastParen` (tk)	tk is on the opening (. Look ahead and return token that is past the closing ).
`scan` (t)	Turn next token in buffer into a token.
`factory` (classname)	Create instance of class specified by the fully qualified name classname. The class must either have no constructors or have a default constructor.
`opCmp` (o)	Compare with another Object obj.
`opEquals` (o)	Test whether `this` is equal to `o`. The default implementation only compares by identity (using the `is` operator). Generally, overrides for `opEquals` should attempt to compare objects by their contents.
