Interface CharStream

All Superinterfaces:

IntStream

All Known Implementing Classes:

ANTLRFileStream, ANTLRInputStream, ANTLRReaderStream, ANTLRStringStream

public interface CharStream
extends IntStream

A source of characters for an ANTLR lexer

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
static int	EOF

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int	getCharPositionInLine() The index of the character relative to the beginning of the line 0..n-1
int	getLine() ANTLR tracks the line information automatically
int	LT(int i) Get the ith character of lookahead.
void	setCharPositionInLine(int pos)
void	setLine(int line) Because this stream can rewind, we need to be able to reset the line
java.lang.String	substring(int start, int stop) For infinite streams, you don't need this; primarily I'm providing a useful interface for action code.

Method Detail

substring

java.lang.String substring(int start,
                           int stop)

For infinite streams, you don't need this; primarily I'm providing a useful interface for action code. Just make sure actions don't use this on streams that don't support it.

LT

int LT(int i)

Get the ith character of lookahead. This is the same usually as LA(i). This will be used for labels in the generated lexer code. I'd prefer to return a char here type-wise, but it's probably better to be 32-bit clean and be consistent with LA.

getLine

int getLine()

ANTLR tracks the line information automatically

setLine

void setLine(int line)

Because this stream can rewind, we need to be able to reset the line

setCharPositionInLine

void setCharPositionInLine(int pos)

getCharPositionInLine

int getCharPositionInLine()

The index of the character relative to the beginning of the line 0..n-1
