Token Members

Public Static Methods

Overloaded. Returns a new Token object, by default. However, if you want, you can create and return subclass objects based on the value of ofKind. Simply add the cases to the switch for all those special cases. For example, if you have a subclass of Token called IDToken that you want to create if ofKind is ID, simply add something like : case MyParserConstants.ID : return new IDToken(ofKind, image); to the following switch statement. Then you can cast matchedToken variable to the appropriate type and use it in your lexical actions.

Public Instance Constructors

Token

Overloaded. Initializes a new instance of the Token class.

Public Instance Fields

beginColumn	The column number of the first character of this Token.
beginLine	The line number of the first character of this Token.
endColumn	The column number of the last character of this Token.
endLine	The line number of the last character of this Token.
image	The string image of the token.
kind	An integer that describes the kind of this token. This numbering system is determined by JavaCCParser, and a table of these numbers is stored in the file ...Constants.java.
next	A reference to the next regular (non-special) token from the input stream. If this is the last token from the input stream, or if the token manager has not read tokens beyond this one, this field is set to null. This is true only if this token is also a regular token. Otherwise, see below for a description of the contents of this field.
specialToken	This field is used to access special tokens that occur prior to this token, but after the immediately preceding regular (non-special) token. If there are no such special tokens, this field is set to null. When there are more than one such special token, this field refers to the last of these special tokens, which in turn refers to the next previous special token through its specialToken field, and so on until the first special token (whose specialToken field is null). The next fields of special tokens refer to other special tokens that immediately follow it (without an intervening regular token). If there is no such token, this field is null.

Public Instance Methods

Equals (inherited from Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
GetHashCode (inherited from Object)	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. GetHashCode is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetType (inherited from Object)	Gets the Type of the current instance.
GetValue	An optional attribute value of the Token. Tokens which are not used as syntactic sugar will often contain meaningful values that will be used later on by the compiler or interpreter. This attribute value is often different from the image. Any subclass of Token that actually wants to return a non-null value can override this method as appropriate.
ToString	Returns the image.
