Method Detail

• public CSTNode add(CSTNode element)

  Adds an element to the node. Returns the element for convenience. Not all nodes support this operation!

• public void addChildrenOf(CSTNode of)

  Adds all children of the specified node to this one. Not all nodes support this operation!

• public abstract Reduction asReduction()

  Creates a Reduction from this node. Returns self if the node is already a Reduction.

• public boolean canMean(int type)

  Returns true if the node can be coerced to the specified type.

• public int children()

  Returns the number of non-root elements in the node.

• public abstract CSTNode get(int index)

  Returns the specified element, or null.

• public CSTNode get(int index, boolean safe)

  Returns the specified element, or Token.NULL if safe is set and the specified element is null (or doesn't exist).

• public String getDescription()

  Returns a description of the node.

• public int getMeaning()

  Returns the meaning of this node. If the node isEmpty(), returns the type of Token.NULL.

• public int getMeaningAs(int[] types)

  Returns the first matching meaning of the specified types. Returns Types.UNKNOWN if there are no matches.

• public abstract Token getRoot()

  Returns the root of the node. By convention, all nodes have a Token as the first element (or root), which indicates the type of the node. May return null if the node isEmpty().

• public Token getRoot(boolean safe)

  Returns the root of the node, the Token that indicates it's type. Returns a Token.NULL if safe and the actual root is null.

• public String getRootText()

  Returns the text of the root. Uses getRoot(true) to get the root, so you will only receive null in return if the root token returns it.

• public int getStartColumn()

  Returns the starting column of the node. Returns -1 if not known.

• public int getStartLine()

  Returns the starting line of the node. Returns -1 if not known.

• public int getType()

  Returns the actual type of the node. If the node isEmpty(), returns the type of Token.NULL.

• public boolean hasChildren()

  Returns true if the node has any non-root elements.

• public boolean isA(int type)

  Returns true if the node's meaning matches the specified type.

• public boolean isAllOf(int[] types)

  Returns true if the node's meaning matches all of the specified types.

• public boolean isAnExpression()

  Returns true if the node is a complete expression.

• public boolean isEmpty()

  Returns true if the node is completely empty (no root, even).

• public boolean isOneOf(int[] types)

  Returns true if the node's meaning matches any of the specified types.

• public void markAsExpression()

  Marks the node a complete expression. Not all nodes support this operation!

• public CSTNode set(int index, CSTNode element)

  Sets an element node in at the specified index. Returns the element for convenience. Not all nodes support this operation!

• public CSTNode setMeaning(int meaning)

  Sets the meaning for this node (and it's root Token). Not valid if the node isEmpty(). Returns the node, for convenience.

• public abstract int size()

  Returns the number of elements in the node (including root).

• public String toString()

  Formats the node as a String and returns it.

• public void write(PrintWriter writer)

  Formats the node and writes it to the specified Writer.

• protected void write(PrintWriter writer, String indent)

  Formats the node and writes it to the specified Writer. The indent is prepended to each output line, and is increased for each recursion.
