Detailed Description

When lexing Ruby source, the lexer has a small amount of state to tell which kind of token it is currently lexing.

For example, when we find the start of a string, the first token that we return is a TOKEN_STRING_BEGIN token. After that the lexer is now in the PM_LEX_STRING mode, and will return tokens that are found as part of a string.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ anonymous enum

anonymous enum

The type of this lex mode.

Enumerator
PM_LEX_DEFAULT 

This state is used when any given token is being lexed.

PM_LEX_EMBEXPR 

This state is used when we're lexing as normal but inside an embedded expression of a string.

PM_LEX_EMBVAR 

This state is used when we're lexing a variable that is embedded directly inside of a string with the # shorthand.

PM_LEX_HEREDOC 

This state is used when you are inside the content of a heredoc.

PM_LEX_LIST 

This state is used when we are lexing a list of tokens, as in a w word list literal or a i symbol list literal.

PM_LEX_REGEXP 

This state is used when a regular expression has been begun and we are looking for the terminator.

PM_LEX_STRING 

This state is used when we are lexing a string or a string-like token, as in string content with either quote or an xstring.

union { ... } pm_lex_mode::as

◆ base

pm_heredoc_lex_mode_t pm_lex_mode::base

All of the data necessary to lex a heredoc.

Definition at line 171 of file parser.h.

◆ common_whitespace

size_t* pm_lex_mode::common_whitespace

This is used to track the amount of common whitespace on each line so that we know how much to dedent each line in the case of a tilde heredoc.

Definition at line 246 of file parser.h.

◆ incrementor

uint8_t pm_lex_mode::incrementor

When lexing a list, it takes into account balancing the terminator if the terminator is one of (), [], {}, or <>.

When lexing a string, it takes into account balancing the terminator if the terminator is one of (), [], {}, or <>.

When lexing a regular expression, it takes into account balancing the terminator if the terminator is one of (), [], {}, or <>.

Definition at line 162 of file parser.h.

◆ interpolation

bool pm_lex_mode::interpolation

Whether or not interpolation is allowed in this list.

Whether or not interpolation is allowed in this string.

Definition at line 156 of file parser.h.

◆ label_allowed

bool pm_lex_mode::label_allowed

Whether or not at the end of the string we should allow a :, which would indicate this was a dynamic symbol instead of a string.

Definition at line 208 of file parser.h.

◆ line_continuation

bool pm_lex_mode::line_continuation

True if the previous token ended with a line continuation.

Definition at line 249 of file parser.h.

◆ 

enum { ... } pm_lex_mode::mode

The type of this lex mode.

◆ nesting

size_t pm_lex_mode::nesting

This keeps track of the nesting level of the list.

Definition at line 153 of file parser.h.

◆ next_start

const uint8_t* pm_lex_mode::next_start

Definition at line 239 of file parser.h.

◆ prev

struct pm_lex_mode* pm_lex_mode::prev

The previous lex state so that it knows how to pop.

Definition at line 254 of file parser.h.

◆ terminator

uint8_t pm_lex_mode::terminator

This is the terminator of the list literal.

This is the terminator of the string.

This is the terminator of the regular expression.

It is typically either a single or double quote.
