Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
GrammarRuleBuilder	is(Object e)	Allows to provide definition of a grammar rule.
GrammarRuleBuilder	is(Object e, Object... rest)	Convenience method equivalent to calling is(grammarBuilder.sequence(e, rest)).
GrammarRuleBuilder	override(Object e)	Allows to override definition of a grammar rule.
GrammarRuleBuilder	override(Object e, Object... rest)	Convenience method equivalent to calling override(grammarBuilder.sequence(e, rest)).
void	skip()	Indicates that grammar rule should not lead to creation of AST node - its children should be attached directly to its parent.
void	skipIfOneChild()	Indicates that grammar rule should not lead to creation of AST node if it has exactly one child.

Method Detail

is

GrammarRuleBuilder is(Object e)

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 GrammarException will be thrown.

Parameters:

e - expression of grammar

Returns:

this (for method chaining)

Throws:

GrammarException - if definition has been already done

IllegalArgumentException - if given argument is not a parsing expression

is

GrammarRuleBuilder is(Object e,
                      Object... rest)

Convenience method equivalent to calling is(grammarBuilder.sequence(e, rest)).

Parameters:

e - expression of grammar

rest - rest of expressions

Returns:

this (for method chaining)

Throws:

GrammarException - if definition has been already done

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

is(Object)

override

GrammarRuleBuilder override(Object e)

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

Returns:

this (for method chaining)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if given argument is not a parsing expression

override

GrammarRuleBuilder override(Object e,
                            Object... rest)

Convenience method equivalent to calling override(grammarBuilder.sequence(e, rest)).

Parameters:

e - expression of grammar

rest - rest of expressions

Returns:

this (for method chaining)

Throws:

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

See Also:

override(Object)

skip

void skip()

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

skipIfOneChild

void skipIfOneChild()

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