About this document

This page is the reference document for the recognizer objects of Marpa's Scanless interface.

Constructor

my $recce = Marpa::R2::Scanless::R->new( { grammar => $grammar } );

The new() method is the constructor for Scanless recognizers. An example of its use is above. The new() constructor accepts a hash of named arguments. The following named arguments are allowed:

grammar

The new method is required to have a grammar named argument. Its value must be a Scanless grammar object.

trace_terminals

If non-zero, traces the lexemes -- those tokens passed from the G0 parser to the G1 parser. This named argument is the best way to follow what the G0 parser is doing, but it is also very helpful for tracing the G1 parser.

trace_values

This named argument is passed on to the G1 recognizer. See "trace_values" in Marpa::R2::Recognizer

trace_file_handle

The value is a file handle. Trace output and warning messages go to the trace file handle. By default the trace file handle is STDERR.

Methods

last_completed_range()

my ( $start, $end ) = $recce->last_completed_range('Expression');

Given the name of a symbol, returns the start and end locations of most recent match. If there was more than one most recent match, it returns the longest. If there was no match, returns the empty array in array context and a Perl false in scalar context.

range_to_string()

my $last_expression = $recce->range_to_string( $start, $end );

Given a start and an end location, returns the substring of the input string that is between the two.

read()

$recce->read($p_input_string);

Given a pointer to an input string, parses it according to the grammar. Currently only a single call to read() is allowed for a scanless recognizer. On success, returns a non-negative integer. On failure, throws an exception.

show_progress()

my $show_progress_output = $recce->show_progress();

Has the same effect as a show_progress() call on the G1 recognizer. See "show_progress()" in Marpa::R2::Recognizer.

value()

my $value_ref = $recce->value();

Has the same effect as a value() call on the G1 recognizer. See "value()" in Marpa::R2::Recognizer.
