nothrow scope this(const(char)* filename, const(char)* base, size_t begoffset, size_t endoffset, bool doDocComment, bool commentToken, ErrorSink errorSink, const CompileEnv* compileEnv);

Creates a Lexer for the source code base[begoffset..endoffset+1]. The last character, base[endoffset], must be null (0) or EOF (0x1A).

Parameters:

const(char)* filename	used for error messages
const(char)* base	source code, must be terminated by a null (0) or EOF (0x1A) character
size_t begoffset	starting offset into base[]
size_t endoffset	the last offset to read into base[]
bool doDocComment	handle documentation comments
bool commentToken	comments become TOK.comment's
ErrorSink errorSink	where error messages go, must not be null
CompileEnv* compileEnv	version, vendor, date, time, etc.

nothrow this(const(char)* filename, const(char)* base, size_t begoffset, size_t endoffset, bool doDocComment, bool commentToken, bool whitespaceToken, ErrorSink errorSink, const CompileEnv* compileEnv = null);

Alternative entry point for DMDLIB, adds whitespaceToken

nothrow scope @safe this(ErrorSink errorSink);

Used for unittests for a mock Lexer

final nothrow void resetDefineLines(const(char)[] slice);

Reset lexer to lex #define's

final nothrow void nextDefineLine();

Set up for next #define line. p should be at start of next line.

final const pure nothrow @nogc @property @safe bool empty();

Range interface

pure nothrow @safe Token* allocateToken();

Returns:

a newly allocated Token.

final nothrow TOK peekNext();

Look ahead at next token's value.

final nothrow TOK peekNext2();

Look 2 tokens ahead at value.

final nothrow void scan(Token* t);

Turn next token in buffer into a token.

Parameters:

Token* t

the token to set the resulting Token to

final nothrow Token* peekPastParen(Token* tk);

tk is on the opening (. Look ahead and return token that is past the closing ).

final nothrow TOK hexStringConstant(Token* t);

Lex hex strings: x"0A ae 34FE BD"

nothrow bool parseSpecialTokenSequence();

Parse special token sequence:

Returns:

true if the special token sequence was handled

References https://dlang.org/spec/lex.html#special-token-sequence

final nothrow void poundLine(ref Token tok, bool linemarker);

Parse line/file preprocessor directive: #line linnum [filespec] Allow __LINE__ for linnum, and __FILE__ for filespec. Accept linemarker format:

linnum [filespec] {flags}

There can be zero or more flags, which are one of the digits 1..4, and must be in ascending order. The flags are ignored.

Parameters:

Token tok	token we're on, which is linnum of linemarker
bool linemarker	true if line marker format and lexer is on linnum

References linemarker https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-11.1.0/cpp/Preprocessor-Output.html

final nothrow void skipToNextLine(OutBuffer* defines = null);

Scan forward to start of next line.

Parameters:

OutBuffer* defines

send characters to defines

static pure nothrow const(char)* combineComments(const(char)[] c1, const(char)[] c2, bool newParagraph);

Combine two document comments into one, separated by an extra newline if newParagraph is true.

nothrow void printRestOfTokens();

Print the tokens from the current token to the end, while not advancing the parser forward. Useful for debugging.
