Class Target

    • 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.

    • Method Detail

      • 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.

                                                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.

        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.

        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.

        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...

        Returns:
        the serialized ATN segment limit

      • 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...
