Method Detail

is

@Deprecated
Rule is(Object... e)

Deprecated.

in 1.19, use GrammarRuleBuilder.is(Object) instead.

Allows to provide definition of a grammar rule.

Note: this method can be called only once for a rule. If it is called more than once, an IllegalStateException will be thrown.

Parameters:

e - expression of grammar that defines this rule

Returns:

this (for method chaining)

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if definition has been already done

IllegalArgumentException - if any of given arguments is not a parsing expression

override

@Deprecated
Rule override(Object... e)

Deprecated.

in 1.19, use GrammarRuleBuilder.override(Object) instead.

Allows to override definition of a grammar rule.

This method has the same effect as #is(Object), except that it can be called more than once to redefine a rule from scratch.

Parameters:

e - expression of grammar that defines this rule

Returns:

this (for method chaining)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if any of given arguments is not a parsing expression

skip

@Deprecated
void skip()

Deprecated.

in 1.19, use GrammarRuleBuilder.skip() instead.

Indicates that grammar rule should not lead to creation of AST node - its children should be attached directly to its parent.

skipIfOneChild

@Deprecated
void skipIfOneChild()

Deprecated.

in 1.19, use GrammarRuleBuilder.skipIfOneChild() instead.

Indicates that grammar rule should not lead to creation of AST node if it has exactly one child.

mock

@Deprecated
void mock()

Deprecated.

in 1.18, use override(Object...) instead.

Utility method used for unit testing in order to dynamically replace the definition of the rule to match as soon as a token whose value equals the name of the rule is encountered.
