class BlockSource(inputRef: InputString, val lines: Type[LineSource], val offset: Int, val nestLevel: Int) extends SourceFragment

A block source represents the source for a block level element where each individual line might have a different x-offset to the root source.

This type of source is essential to preserve position tracking in recursive block parsing. For block level markup the first passes have to identify the type of block and remove their markup decoration. The remaining inline markup is then passed to inline parsers, but the input to those parsers is no longer a consecutive substring of the root input, making it hard to provide exact positions in error messages.

This type of source cursor solves this issue by providing a view to parsers that looks like a consecutive string of inline markup without the stripped decoration, while maintaining the x- and y-offsets of each line in relation to the root source.

Such a source will be used in multi-pass parsers, where the root parser might strip some markup decoration from each line and then pass the result down to the next recursion. In such a case each line might have a different x-offset from the root input. The use of this instance ensures that the correct position can still be tracked.

def capture(numChars: Int): String

Captures a string containing the specified number of characters from the current offset. If the number of remaining characters is less than the specified number, all remaining characters will be returned.

Captures a string containing the specified number of characters from the current offset. If the number of remaining characters is less than the specified number, all remaining characters will be returned.

def consume(numChars: Int): BlockSource

Consumes the specified number of characters, returning a new SourceCursor with the new offset.

Attributes

override def equals(obj: Any): Boolean

Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:

  • It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type Any if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same scala.Int. (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

Value parameters

that

the object to compare against this object for equality.

Attributes

Returns

true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

Definition Classes
Any
override def hashCode(): Int

Calculate a hash code value for the object.

Calculate a hash code value for the object.

The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

Attributes

Returns

the hash code value for this object.

Attributes

def remaining: Int

Indicates the number of characters remaining in the input string after the current offset.

Indicates the number of characters remaining in the input string after the current offset.

Attributes

Returns a new SourceCursor with the input string being reversed, but pointing to the same character as this context.

Returns a new SourceCursor with the input string being reversed, but pointing to the same character as this context.

This is a low-level optimization for parsers that look for strings like email addresses where the first character is not significant, so that parsing backwards from any @ encountered in the input provided better performance.

Attributes

override def toString: String

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns a string representation of the object.

The default representation is platform dependent.
