public class ParserRuleContext
extends RuleContext

A rule invocation record for parsing. Contains all of the information about the current rule not stored in the RuleContext. It handles parse tree children list, Any ATN state tracing, and the default values available for rule indications: start, stop, rule index, current alt number, current ATN state. Subclasses made for each rule and grammar track the parameters, return values, locals, and labels specific to that rule. These are the objects that are returned from rules. Note text is not an actual field of a rule return value; it is computed from start and stop using the input stream's toString() method. I could add a ctor to this so that we can pass in and store the input stream, but I'm not sure we want to do that. It would seem to be undefined to get the .text property anyway if the rule matches tokens from multiple input streams. I do not use getters for fields of objects that are used simply to group values such as this aggregate. The getters/setters are there to satisfy the superclass interface.

Field Detail

children

public List<ParseTree> children

If we are debugging or building a parse tree for a visitor, we need to track all of the tokens and rule invocations associated with this rule's context. This is empty for parsing w/o tree constr. operation because we don't the need to track the details about how we parse this rule.

start

public Token start

For debugging/tracing purposes, we want to track all of the nodes in the ATN traversed by the parser for a particular rule. This list indicates the sequence of ATN nodes used to match the elements of the children list. This list does not include ATN nodes and other rules used to match rule invocations. It traces the rule invocation node itself but nothing inside that other rule's ATN submachine. There is NOT a one-to-one correspondence between the children and states list. There are typically many nodes in the ATN traversed for each element in the children list. For example, for a rule invocation there is the invoking state and the following state. The parser setState() method updates field s and adds it to this list if we are debugging/tracing. This does not trace states visited during prediction.

stop

public Token stop

For debugging/tracing purposes, we want to track all of the nodes in the ATN traversed by the parser for a particular rule. This list indicates the sequence of ATN nodes used to match the elements of the children list. This list does not include ATN nodes and other rules used to match rule invocations. It traces the rule invocation node itself but nothing inside that other rule's ATN submachine. There is NOT a one-to-one correspondence between the children and states list. There are typically many nodes in the ATN traversed for each element in the children list. For example, for a rule invocation there is the invoking state and the following state. The parser setState() method updates field s and adds it to this list if we are debugging/tracing. This does not trace states visited during prediction.

altNum

public int altNum

Set during parsing to identify which alt of rule parser is in.

exception

public RecognitionException exception

The exception which forced this rule to return. If the rule successfully completed, this is null.

Method Detail

copyFrom

public void copyFrom(ParserRuleContext ctx)

COPY a ctx (I'm deliberately not using copy constructor)

enterRule

public void enterRule(ParseTreeListener listener)

exitRule

public void exitRule(ParseTreeListener listener)

addChild

public TerminalNode addChild(TerminalNode t)

Does not set parent link; other add methods do that

addChild
