• public final void annotationField()

• public final void annotationIdent()

• public final void annotationMemberValueInitializer()

• public final void annotationMemberValuePair()

• public final void annotationMemberValuePairs()

• public final void annotationsInternal()

• public final void annotationsOpt()

• public final void appendedBlock(AST callee)

  An appended block follows any expression. If the expression is not a method call, it is given an empty argument list.

• public final void argList()

• public final byte argument()

  A single argument in (...) or [...]. Corresponds to to a method or closure parameter. May be labeled. May be modified by the spread operator '*' ('*:' for keywords).

• public final void argumentLabel()

  A label for an argument is of the form a:b, 'a':b, "a":b, (a):b, etc.. The labels in (a:b), ('a':b), and ("a":b) are in all ways equivalent, except that the quotes allow more spellings. Equivalent dynamically computed labels are (('a'):b) and ("${'a'}":b) but not ((a):b) or "$a":b, since the latter cases evaluate (a) as a normal identifier. Bottom line: If you want a truly variable label, use parens and say ((a):b).

• public final void argumentLabelStart()

  For lookahead only. Fast approximate parse of an argumentLabel followed by a colon.

• public final void assignmentExpression(int lc_stmt)

• public final void assignmentLessExpression()

• public final void balancedBrackets()

  Fast lookahead across balanced brackets of all sorts.

• public final void balancedTokens()

• public final void blockBody(int prevToken)

  A block body is a parade of zero or more statements or expressions.

• public final void branchStatement()

  In Groovy, return, break, continue, throw, and assert can be used in a parenthesized expression context. Example: println (x || (return)); println assert x, "won't print a false value!" If an optional expression is missing, its value is void (this coerces to null when a value is required).

• protected void buildTokenTypeASTClassMap()

• public final void builtInType()

• public final void builtInTypeArraySpec(boolean addImagNode)

• public final void builtInTypeSpec(boolean addImagNode)

• public final void caseSList()

• public final void casesGroup()

• public final void checkSuspiciousExpressionStatement(int prevToken)

  If two statements are separated by newline (not SEMI), the second had better not look like the latter half of an expression. If it does, issue a warning.

  Also, if the expression starts with a closure, it needs to have an explicit parameter list, in order to avoid the appearance of a compound statement. This is a hard error.

  These rules are different from Java's "dumb expression" restriction. Unlike Java, Groovy blocks can end with arbitrary (even dumb) expressions, as a consequence of optional 'return' and 'continue' tokens.

  To make the programmer's intention clear, a leading closure must have an explicit parameter list, and must not follow a previous statement separated only by newlines.

• public final void classBlock()

• public final void classDefinition(AST modifiers)

• public final void classField()

• public final void classOrInterfaceType(boolean addImagNode)

• public final void classTypeSpec(boolean addImagNode)

• public Token cloneToken(Token t)

• public final void closableBlock()

  A block which is known to be a closure, even if it has no apparent arguments. A block inside an expression or after a method call is always assumed to be a closure. Only labeled, unparameterized blocks which occur directly as substatements are kept open.

• public final void closableBlockConstructorExpression()

• public final void closableBlockParam()

  Simple names, as in {x|...}, are completely equivalent to {(def x)|...}. Build the right AST.

• public final void closableBlockParamsOpt(boolean addImplicit)

  Closure parameters are exactly like method parameters, except that they are not enclosed in parentheses, but rather are prepended to the front of a block, just after the brace. They are separated from the closure body by a CLOSABLE_BLOCK_OP token '->'.

• public final void closableBlockParamsStart()

  Lookahead to check whether a block begins with explicit closure arguments.

• public final void closureList()

• public final void commandArgument()

• public final void commandArguments(AST head)

  A member name (x.y) or element name (x[y]) can serve as a command name, which may be followed by a list of arguments. Unlike parenthesized arguments, these must be plain expressions, without labels or spread operators.

• public final void commandArgumentsGreedy(AST head)

• public final void compatibleBodyStatement()

  In Java, "if", "while", and "for" statements can take random, non-braced statements as their bodies. Support this practice, even though it isn't very Groovy.

• public final void compilationUnit()

• public final void compoundStatement()

• public final void conditionalExpression(int lc_stmt)

• public final void constant()

  Numeric, string, regexp, boolean, or null constant.

• public final void constantNumber()

  Numeric constant.

• public final void constructorBody()

• public final void constructorDefinition(AST mods)

  I've split out constructors separately; we could maybe integrate back into variableDefinitions later on if we maybe simplified 'def' to be a type declaration?

• public final void constructorStart()

  Used to look ahead for a constructor

• public final void controlExpressionList()

• public AST create(int type, String txt, AST first)

  Creates an AST node with the token type and text passed in, but with the same background information as another supplied Token (e.g. line numbers). To be used in place of antlr tree construction syntax, i.e. #[TOKEN,"text"] becomes create(TOKEN,"text",anotherToken)

• public AST create(int type, String txt, Token first, Token last)

• public AST create(int type, String txt, AST first, Token last)

• public AST create(int type, String txt, AST first, AST last)

• public final void declaration()

  A declaration is the creation of a reference or primitive-type variable, or (if arguments are present) of a method. Generically, this is called a 'variable' definition, even in the case of a class field or method. It may start with the modifiers and/or a declaration keyword "def". It may also start with the modifiers and a capitalized type name.

  AST effect: Create a separate Type/Var tree for each var in the var list. Must be guarded, as in (declarationStart) => declaration.

• public final void declarationStart()

  Used only as a lookahead predicate, before diving in and parsing a declaration. A declaration can be unambiguously introduced with "def", an annotation or a modifier token like "final". It may also be introduced by a simple identifier whose first character is an uppercase letter, as in {String x}. A declaration can also be introduced with a built in type like 'int' or 'void'. Brackets (array and generic) are allowed, as in {List[] x} or {int[][] y}. Anything else is parsed as a statement of some sort (expression or command).

  (In the absence of explicit method-call parens, we assume a capitalized name is a type name. Yes, this is a little hacky. Alternatives are to complicate the declaration or command syntaxes, or to have the parser query the symbol table. Parse-time queries are evil. And we want both {String x} and {println x}. So we need a syntactic razor-edge to slip between 'println' and 'String'.)

• public final void declaratorBrackets(AST typ)

  After some type names, where zero or more empty bracket pairs are allowed. We use ARRAY_DECLARATOR to represent this.

• public final void dynamicMemberName()

  If a dot is followed by a parenthesized or quoted expression, the member is computed dynamically, and the member selection is done only at runtime. This forces a statically unchecked member access.

• public final void enumBlock()

• public final void enumConstant()

• public final void enumConstantBlock()

• public final void enumConstantField()

• protected final void enumConstantFieldInternal(AST mods, AST tp, AST t, Token first)

• public final void enumConstants()

  Comma-separated list of one or more enum constant definitions.

• public final void enumConstantsEnd()

• public final void enumConstantsStart()

  Guard for enumConstants.

• public final void enumDefinition(AST modifiers)

• public final void equalityExpression(int lc_stmt)

• public final void exclusiveOrExpression(int lc_stmt)

• public final void explicitConstructorInvocation()

  Catch obvious constructor calls, but not the expr.super(...) calls

• public final void expression(int lc_stmt)

• public final void expressionStatement(int prevToken)

  An expression statement can be any general expression.

  An expression statement can also be a command, which is a simple method call in which the outermost parentheses are omitted.

  Certain "suspicious" looking forms are flagged for the user to disambiguate.

• public final void finallyClause()

• public final void forCond()

• public final void forInClause()

• public final void forInit()

• public final void forIter()

• public final void forStatement()

• public final void genericMethod()

• public final void genericMethodStart()

  lookahead predicate for usage of generics in methods as parameter for the method. Example: static T foo(){} must be first after the modifier. This rule allows more and does no exact match, but it is only a lookahead, not the real rule.

• public List getWarningList()

• public final void handler()

• public final void identifier()

• public final void identifierStar()

• public final void implementsClause()

• public final void implicitParameters()

  A block known to be a closure, but which omits its arguments, is given this placeholder. A subsequent pass is responsible for deciding if there is an implicit 'it' parameter, or if the parameter list should be empty.

• public final void importStatement()

• public final void inclusiveOrExpression(int lc_stmt)

• public final void indexPropertyArgs(AST indexee)

  An expression may be followed by [...]. Unlike Java, these brackets may contain a general argument list, which is passed to the array element operator, which can make of it what it wants. The brackets may also be empty, as in T[]. This is how Groovy names array types.

  Returned AST is [INDEX_OP, indexee, ELIST].

• public final void interfaceBlock()

• public final void interfaceDefinition(AST modifiers)

• public final void interfaceExtends()

• public final void interfaceField()

• public final void keywordPropertyNames()

• public final void listOfVariables(AST mods, AST t, Token first)

• public final void listOrMapConstructorExpression()

  A list constructor is a argument list enclosed in square brackets, without labels. Any argument can be decorated with a spread operator (*x), but not a label (a:x). Examples: [], [1], [1,2], [1,*l1,2], [*l1,*l2]. (The l1, l2 must be a sequence or null.)

  A map constructor is an argument list enclosed in square brackets, with labels everywhere, except on spread arguments, which stand for whole maps spliced in. A colon alone between the brackets also forces the expression to be an empty map constructor. Examples: [:], [a:1], [a:1,b:2], [a:1,*:m1,b:2], [*:m1,*:m2] (The m1, m2 must be a map or null.) Values associated with identical keys overwrite from left to right: [a:1,a:2] === [a:2]

  Some malformed constructor expressions are not detected in the parser, but in a post-pass. Bad examples: [1,b:2], [a:1,2], [:1]. (Note that method call arguments, by contrast, can be a mix of keyworded and non-keyworded arguments.)

• public final void logicalAndExpression(int lc_stmt)

• public static GroovyRecognizer make(InputBuffer in)

• public static GroovyRecognizer make(LexerSharedInputState in)

• public void matchGenericTypeBracketsFailed(String problem, String solution)

• public final void methodCallArgs(AST callee)

  An expression may be followed by one or both of (...) and {...}. Note: If either is (...) or {...} present, it is a method call. The {...} is appended to the argument list, and matches a formal of type Closure. If there is no method member, a property (or field) is used instead, and must itself be callable.

  If the methodCallArgs are absent, it is a property reference. If there is no property, it is treated as a field reference, but never a method reference.

  Arguments in the (...) can be labeled, and the appended block can be labeled also. If there is a mix of unlabeled and labeled arguments, all the labeled arguments must follow the unlabeled arguments, except that the closure (labeled or not) is always a separate final argument. Labeled arguments are collected up and passed as a single argument to a formal of type Map.

  Therefore, f(x,y, a:p, b:q) {s} is equivalent in all ways to f(x,y, [a:p,b:q], {s}). Spread arguments of sequence type count as unlabeled arguments, while spread arguments of map type count as labeled arguments. (This distinction must sometimes be checked dynamically.) A plain unlabeled argument is allowed to match a trailing Map or Closure argument: f(x, a:p) {s} === f(*[ x, [a:p], {s} ])

• public final void modifier()

• public final void modifiers()

  A list of one or more modifier, annotation, or "def".

• public final void newArrayDeclarator()

• public final void newExpression()

  object instantiation. Trees are built as illustrated by the following input/tree pairs: new T() new | T -- ELIST | arg1 -- arg2 -- .. -- argn new int[] new | int -- ARRAY_DECLARATOR new int[] {1,2} new | int -- ARRAY_DECLARATOR -- ARRAY_INIT | EXPR -- EXPR | | 1 2 new int[3] new | int -- ARRAY_DECLARATOR | EXPR | 3 new int[1][2] new | int -- ARRAY_DECLARATOR | ARRAY_DECLARATOR -- EXPR | | EXPR 1 | 2

• public final void nls()

  Zero or more insignificant newlines, all gobbled up and thrown away.

• public final void nlsWarn()

  Zero or more insignificant newlines, all gobbled up and thrown away, but a warning message is left for the user, if there was a newline.

• public final void openBlock()

  An open block is not allowed to have closure arguments.

• public final void openOrClosableBlock()

  A sub-block of a block can be either open or closable. It is closable if and only if there are explicit closure arguments. Compare this to a block which is appended to a method call, which is given closure arguments, even if they are not explicit in the code.

• public final void packageDefinition()

• public final void parameterDeclaration()

  A formal parameter for a method or closure.

• public final void parameterDeclarationList()

  A list of zero or more formal parameters. If a parameter is variable length (e.g. String... myArg) it should be to the right of any other parameters of the same kind. General form: (req, ..., opt, ..., [rest], key, ..., [restKeys], [block] This must be sorted out after parsing, since the various declaration forms are impossible to tell apart without backtracking.

• public final void parameterModifiersOpt()

• public final void pathChain(int lc_stmt, AST prefix)

• public final void pathElement(AST prefix)

• public final void pathElementStart()

• public final void pathExpression(int lc_stmt)

  A "path expression" is a name or other primary, possibly qualified by various forms of dot, and/or followed by various kinds of brackets. It can be used for value or assigned to, or else further qualified, indexed, or called. It is called a "path" because it looks like a linear path through a data structure. Examples: x.y, x?.y, x*.y, x.@y; x[], x[y], x[y,z]; x(), x(y), x(y,z); x{s}; a.b[n].c(x).d{s} (Compare to a C lvalue, or LeftHandSide in the JLS section 15.26.) General expressions are built up from path expressions, using operators like '+' and '='.

• public final void singleDeclarationNoInit()

  A declaration with one declarator and no initialization, like a parameterDeclaration. Used to parse loops like for (int x in y) (up to the in keyword).

• public final void singleVariable(AST mods, AST t)

  Used in cases where a declaration cannot have commas, or ends with the "in" operator instead of '='.

• public final void snippetUnit()

  A Groovy script or simple expression. Can be anything legal inside {...}.

• public final void statement(int prevToken)

  A statement is an element of a block. Typical statements are declarations (which are scoped to the block) and expressions.

• public final void statementLabelPrefix()

  A labeled statement, consisting of a vanilla identifier followed by a colon.

  An IDENT token whose spelling is required to start with an uppercase letter. In the case of a simple statement {UpperID name} the identifier is taken to be a type name, not a command name.

• public final void varInitializer()

  An assignment operator '=' followed by an expression. (Never empty.)

• public final void variableDeclarator(AST mods, AST t, Token first)

  Declaration of a variable. This can be a class/instance variable, or a local variable in a method It can also include possible initialization.

• public final void variableDefinitions(AST mods, AST t)

  The tail of a declaration. Either v1, v2, ... (with possible initializers) or else m(args){body}. The two arguments are the modifier list (if any) and the declaration head (if any). The declaration head is the variable type, or (for a method) the return type. If it is missing, then the variable type is taken from its initializer (if there is one). Otherwise, the variable type defaults to 'any'. DECIDE: Method return types default to the type of the method body, as an expression.
