Field Detail

targetCharValueEscape

protected String[] targetCharValueEscape

For pure strings of Java 16-bit Unicode char, how can we display it in the target language as a literal. Useful for dumping predicates and such that may refer to chars that need to be escaped when represented as strings. Also, templates need to be escaped so that the target language can hold them as a string.

I have defined (via the constructor) the set of typical escapes, but your Target subclass is free to alter the translated chars or add more definitions. This is non-static so each target can have a different set in memory at same time.

protected Target(CodeGenerator gen,
      String language)

Method Detail

getCodeGenerator

public CodeGenerator getCodeGenerator()

getLanguage

public String getLanguage()

getVersion

public abstract String getVersion()

ANTLR tool should check output templates / target are compatible with tool code generation. For now, a simple string match used on x.y of x.y.z scheme. We use a method to avoid mismatches between a template called VERSION. This value is checked against Tool.VERSION during load of templates. This additional method forces all targets 4.3 and beyond to add this method.

Since:

4.3

getTemplates

public org.stringtemplate.v4.STGroup getTemplates()

genFile

protected void genFile(Grammar g,
           org.stringtemplate.v4.ST outputFileST,
           String fileName)

genListenerFile

protected void genListenerFile(Grammar g,
                   org.stringtemplate.v4.ST outputFileST)

genRecognizerHeaderFile

protected void genRecognizerHeaderFile(Grammar g,
                           org.stringtemplate.v4.ST headerFileST,
                           String extName)

getTokenTypeAsTargetLabel

public String getTokenTypeAsTargetLabel(Grammar g,
                               int ttype)

Get a meaningful name for a token type useful during code generation. Literals without associated names are converted to the string equivalent of their integer values. Used to generate x==ID and x==34 type comparisons etc... Essentially we are looking for the most obvious way to refer to a token type in the generated code.

getTokenTypesAsTargetLabels

public String[] getTokenTypesAsTargetLabels(Grammar g,
                                   int[] ttypes)

getTargetStringLiteralFromString

public String getTargetStringLiteralFromString(String s,
                                      boolean quoted)

Given a random string of Java unicode chars, return a new string with optionally appropriate quote characters for target language and possibly with some escaped characters. For example, if the incoming string has actual newline characters, the output of this method would convert them to the two char sequence \n for Java, C, C++, ... The new string has double-quotes around it as well. Example String in memory: a"[newlinechar]b'c[carriagereturnchar]d[tab]e\f would be converted to the valid Java s: "a\"\nb'c\rd\te\\f" or a\"\nb'c\rd\te\\f depending on the quoted arg.

getTargetStringLiteralFromString

public String getTargetStringLiteralFromString(String s)

getTargetStringLiteralFromANTLRStringLiteral

public String getTargetStringLiteralFromANTLRStringLiteral(CodeGenerator generator,
                                                  String literal,
                                                  boolean addQuotes)

Convert from an ANTLR string literal found in a grammar file to an equivalent string literal in the target language.

For Java, this is the translation 'a\n"' → "a\n\"". Expect single quotes around the incoming literal. Just flip the quotes and replace double quotes with \".

Note that we have decided to allow people to use '\"' without penalty, so we must build the target string in a loop as String.replace(char, char) cannot handle both \" and " without a lot of messing around.

encodeIntAsCharEscape

public String encodeIntAsCharEscape(int v)

Assume 16-bit char

getLoopLabel

public String getLoopLabel(GrammarAST ast)

getLoopCounter

public String getLoopCounter(GrammarAST ast)

getListLabel

public String getListLabel(String label)

getRuleFunctionContextStructName

public String getRuleFunctionContextStructName(Rule r)

getAltLabelContextStructName

public String getAltLabelContextStructName(String label)

getRuleFunctionContextStructName

public String getRuleFunctionContextStructName(RuleFunction function)

If we know which actual function, we can provide the actual ctx type. This will contain implicit labels etc... From outside, though, we see only ParserRuleContext unless there are externally visible stuff like args, locals, explicit labels, etc...

getImplicitTokenLabel

public String getImplicitTokenLabel(String tokenName)

getImplicitSetLabel

public String getImplicitSetLabel(String id)

getImplicitRuleLabel

public String getImplicitRuleLabel(String ruleName)

getElementListName

public String getElementListName(String name)

getElementName

public String getElementName(String name)

getSerializedATNSegmentLimit

public int getSerializedATNSegmentLimit()

Gets the maximum number of 16-bit unsigned integers that can be encoded in a single segment of the serialized ATN.

Returns:

the serialized ATN segment limit

See Also:

SerializedATN.getSegments()

getInlineTestSetWordSize

public int getInlineTestSetWordSize()

How many bits should be used to do inline token type tests? Java assumes a 64-bit word for bitsets. Must be a valid wordsize for your target like 8, 16, 32, 64, etc...
