Overview

Package scanner implements a scanner for Go+ source text. It takes a []byte as source which can then be tokenized through repeated calls to the Scan method.

Functions

func PrintError added in v0.9.9

func PrintError(w io.Writer, err error)

PrintError is a utility function that prints a list of errors to w, one error per line, if the err parameter is an ErrorList. Otherwise it prints the err string.

Types

type Error

type Error = scanner.Error

Error is an alias of go/scanner.Error

type ErrorHandler

type ErrorHandler = scanner.ErrorHandler

An ErrorHandler may be provided to Scanner.Init. If a syntax error is encountered and a handler was installed, the handler is called with a position and an error message. The position points to the beginning of the offending token.

type ErrorList

type ErrorList = scanner.ErrorList

ErrorList is an alias of go/scanner.ErrorList

type Mode

type Mode uint

A Mode value is a set of flags (or 0). They control scanner behavior.

const (
	// ScanComments - return comments as COMMENT tokens
	ScanComments Mode = 1 << iota
)

type Scanner

type Scanner struct {

	// public state - ok to modify
	ErrorCount int // number of errors encountered
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Scanner holds the scanner's internal state while processing a given text. It can be allocated as part of another data structure but must be initialized via Init before use.

func (*Scanner) CodeTo added in v1.2.0

func (s *Scanner) CodeTo(end int) []byte

func (*Scanner) Init

func (s *Scanner) Init(file *token.File, src []byte, err ErrorHandler, mode Mode)

Init prepares the scanner s to tokenize the text src by setting the scanner at the beginning of src. The scanner uses the file set file for position information and it adds line information for each line. It is ok to re-use the same file when re-scanning the same file as line information which is already present is ignored. Init causes a panic if the file size does not match the src size.

Calls to Scan will invoke the error handler err if they encounter a syntax error and err is not nil. Also, for each error encountered, the Scanner field ErrorCount is incremented by one. The mode parameter determines how comments are handled.

Note that Init may call err if there is an error in the first character of the file.

func (*Scanner) InitEx added in v1.2.0

func (s *Scanner) InitEx(file *token.File, src []byte, offset int, err ErrorHandler, mode Mode)

InitEx init the scanner with an offset (this means src[offset:] is all the code to scan).

func (*Scanner) Scan

func (s *Scanner) Scan() (pos token.Pos, tok token.Token, lit string)

Scan scans the next token and returns the token position, the token, and its literal string if applicable. The source end is indicated by token.EOF.

If the returned token is a literal (token.IDENT, token.INT, token.FLOAT, token.IMAG, token.CHAR, token.STRING) or token.COMMENT, the literal string has the corresponding value.

If the returned token is a keyword, the literal string is the keyword.

If the returned token is token.SEMICOLON, the corresponding literal string is ";" if the semicolon was present in the source, and "\n" if the semicolon was inserted because of a newline or at EOF.

If the returned token is token.ILLEGAL, the literal string is the offending character.

In all other cases, Scan returns an empty literal string.

For more tolerant parsing, Scan will return a valid token if possible even if a syntax error was encountered. Thus, even if the resulting token sequence contains no illegal tokens, a client may not assume that no error occurred. Instead it must check the scanner's ErrorCount or the number of calls of the error handler, if there was one installed.

Scan adds line information to the file added to the file set with Init. Token positions are relative to that file and thus relative to the file set.
