Interface ASTParser<R>

parse

• parse(inputStream, considerPosition?, measureLexingTime?, source?): ParsingResult<R>

• Parses source code, returning a result that includes an AST and a collection of parse issues (errors, warnings). The parsing is done in accordance to the StarLasu methodology i.e. a first-stage parser builds a parse tree which is then mapped onto a higher-level tree called the AST.

  Parameters

  • inputStream: string | CharStream

    the source code.
  • Optional considerPosition: boolean

    if true (the default), parsed AST nodes record their position in the input text.
  • Optional measureLexingTime: boolean

    if true, the result will include a measurement of the time spent in lexing i.e. breaking
  • Optional source: Source

    the optional Source to associate to node positions. the input stream into tokens.

  Returns ParsingResult<R>
