emit method

Token emit()
inherited

The standard method called to automatically emit a token at the outermost lexical rule. The token object should point into the char buffer start..stop. If there is a text override in 'text', use that to set the token's text. Override this method to emit custom Token objects or provide a new factory.

Implementation

Token emit() {
  final t = tokenFactory.create(
      type,
      _text,
      _tokenFactorySourcePair,
      channel,
      tokenStartCharIndex,
      charIndex - 1,
      tokenStartLine,
      tokenStartCharPositionInLine);
  emitToken(t);
  return t;
}
