    • eSink

      Declaration

      ErrorSink eSink;

      send error messages through this interface

    • this

      Declaration

      pure nothrow scope this(const(char)* filename, const(char)* base, size_t begoffset, size_t endoffset, bool doDocComment, bool commentToken, ErrorSink errorSink, const(char)[] vendor = "DLF", uint versionNumber = 1);

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

      Parameters

      const(char)* filename

      used for error messages

      const(char)* base

      source code, must be terminated by a null (0) or EOF (0x1A) character

      size_t begoffset

      starting offset into base[]

      size_t endoffset

      the last offset to read into base[]

      bool doDocComment

      handle documentation comments

      bool commentToken

      comments become TOK.comment's

      ErrorSink errorSink

      where error messages go, must not be null

      const(char)[] vendor

      name of the vendor

      uint versionNumber

      version of the caller

    • this

      Declaration

      nothrow this(const(char)* filename, const(char)* base, size_t begoffset, size_t endoffset, bool doDocComment, bool commentToken, bool whitespaceToken, ErrorSink errorSink);

      Alternative entry point for DMDLIB, adds whitespaceToken

    • this

      Declaration

      nothrow scope this(ErrorSink errorSink);

      Used for unittests for a mock Lexer

    • resetDefineLines

      Declaration

      final nothrow void resetDefineLines(const(char)[] slice);

      Reset lexer to lex #define's

    • nextDefineLine

      Declaration

      final nothrow void nextDefineLine();

      Set up for next #define line. p should be at start of next line.

    • empty

      Declaration

      final const pure nothrow @nogc @property @safe bool empty();

      Range interface

    • allocateToken

      Declaration

      pure nothrow @safe Token* allocateToken();

      Return Value

      a newly allocated Token.

    • peekNext

      Declaration

      final nothrow TOK peekNext();

      Look ahead at next token's value.

    • peekNext2

      Declaration

      final nothrow TOK peekNext2();

      Look 2 tokens ahead at value.

    • scan

      Declaration

      final nothrow void scan(Token* t);

      Turn next token in buffer into a token.

      Parameters

      Token* t

      the token to set the resulting Token to

    • peekPastParen

      Declaration

      final nothrow Token* peekPastParen(Token* tk);

      tk is on the opening (. Look ahead and return token that is past the closing ).

    • parseSpecialTokenSequence

      Declaration

      nothrow bool parseSpecialTokenSequence();

      Parse special token sequence:

      Return Value

      true if the special token sequence was handled

    • poundLine

      Declaration

      final nothrow void poundLine(ref Token tok, bool linemarker);

      Parse line/file preprocessor directive: #line linnum [filespec] Allow __LINE__ for linnum, and __FILE__ for filespec. Accept linemarker format:

      linnum [filespec] {flags}
