Parser class

Constructors

Parser()

Properties

errorContext ↔ String

name of file, etc., used for error reporting

getter/setter pair

hashCode → int

The hash code for this object.

no setter, inherited

output ↔ ParseState?

Handy reference to the top of outputStack.

getter/setter pair

outputStack ↔ List<ParseState?>?

List of open code blocks we're working on (while compiling a function, we push a new one onto this stack, compile to that, and then pop it off when we reach the end of the function).

getter/setter pair

partialInput ↔ String?

Partial input, in the case where line continuation has been used.

getter/setter pair

pendingState ↔ ParseState?

A new parse state that needs to be pushed onto the stack, as soon as we finish with the current line we're working on:

getter/setter pair

runtimeType → Type

A representation of the runtime type of the object.

no setter, inherited

Methods

createImport() → VFunction

Create a Function with the code we have parsed, for use as an import. That means, it runs all that code, then at the end it returns locals so that the caller can get its symbols.

createVM([TextOutputMethod? standardOutput]) → Machine

Create a virtual machine loaded with the code we have parsed.

needMoreInput() → bool

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.

inherited

parse(String sourceCode, {bool replMode = false}) → void

partialReset() → void

Partially reset, abandoning backpatches, but keeping already- compiled code. This would be used in a REPL, when the user may want to reset and continue after a botched loop or function.

repl(String line) → void

reset() → void

Completely clear out and reset our parse state, throwing out any code and intermediate results.

toString() → String

A string representation of this object.

inherited

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool

The equality operator.

inherited

Static Methods

endsWithLineContinuation(String sourceCode) → bool

Return whether the given source code ends in a token that signifies that the statement continues on the next line. That includes binary operators, open brackets or parentheses, etc.

runUnitTests() → void

testValidParse(String src, {bool dumpTac = false}) → void
