Class RequirementSymbolsMill

java.lang.Object
de.monticore.symbols.requirementsymbols.RequirementSymbolsMill

public class RequirementSymbolsMill extends Object
The mill is a factory for builders and other commonly used functions, such as parsers or visitors. The mill was introduced to ensure compositionality of languages, while retaining reusability of functions developed for sublanguages. Only one mill instance exists, even though in composed languages it is available under several static signatures.

    • getMill

      public static RequirementSymbolsMill getMill()
    • init

      public static void init()
      Initializes a languages Mill. This will also initialize the Mills of all languages it depends on. This ensures that all objects of this mill, such as builders, traversers, scopes, ..., deliver the element of the correct language.

    • prettyPrint

      public static String prettyPrint(de.monticore.ast.ASTNode node, boolean printComments)
      Uses the composed pretty printer to print an ASTNode of this language
      Parameters:
      node - The ASTNode to be printed
      printComments - Whether comments should be printed
      Returns:
      The pretty printer output

    • typeDispatcher

      @Deprecated(forRemoval=true) public static IRequirementSymbolsTypeDispatcher typeDispatcher()
      Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    • _typeDispatcher

      @Deprecated(forRemoval=true) protected IRequirementSymbolsTypeDispatcher _typeDispatcher()
      Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    • traverser

      public static RequirementSymbolsTraverser traverser()
      A traverser is the conceptual entry point for every action within the visitor infrastructure. Visitors may be added, which contain the implementations for the visit and endVisit methods. Handlers may be added to modify the default traversal strategy. Each traverser retains their traversed elements to avoid duplicate traversal, possibly requiring ITraverser.clearTraversedElements() to be called in case of re-use inheritanceTraverser() should be preferred over normal traverser, as they further enable language composition.
      Returns:
      a new instance of this language's traverser
    • _traverser

      protected RequirementSymbolsTraverser _traverser()
    • inheritanceTraverser

      public static RequirementSymbolsTraverser inheritanceTraverser()
      A traverser is the conceptual entry point for every action within the visitor infrastructure. Visitors may be added, which contain the implementations for the visit and endVisit methods. Handlers may be added to modify the default traversal strategy. Each traverser retains their traversed elements to avoid duplicate traversal, possibly requiring ITraverser.clearTraversedElements() to be called in case of re-use Inheritance Traverser should be preferred over default ones, as they further enable language composition.
      Returns:
      a new instance of this language's inheritance traverser
    • _inheritanceTraverser

      protected RequirementSymbolsTraverser _inheritanceTraverser()
    • singleStepTraverser

      public static RequirementSymbolsTraverser singleStepTraverser()
      A traverser is the conceptual entry point for every action within the visitor infrastructure. Visitors may be added, which contain the implementations for the visit and endVisit methods. Handlers may be added to modify the default traversal strategy. Each traverser retains their traversed elements to avoid duplicate traversal, possibly requiring ITraverser.clearTraversedElements() to be called in case of re-use Inheritance Traverser should be preferred over default ones, as they further enable language composition.
      Returns:
      a new instance of this language's inheritance traverser

    • _scope

      protected IRequirementSymbolsScope _scope()
    • scopesGenitor

      public static RequirementSymbolsScopesGenitor scopesGenitor()
      Returns a new ScopeGenitor. ScopeGenitors are responsible for creating the scope structure of artifacts of only this language and linking it with the AST nodes. Note: ScopeGenitors do NOT delegate to elements of composed languages which is why you are most likely looking for scopesGenitorDelegator().
      Returns:
      a new instance of this language's scope genitor
    • _scopesGenitor

      protected RequirementSymbolsScopesGenitor _scopesGenitor()
    • scopesGenitorDelegator

      public static RequirementSymbolsScopesGenitorDelegator scopesGenitorDelegator()
      Returns a new ScopeGenitorDelegator. Delegates to the ScopeGenitors of composed languages, used for instantiating symbol tables in the context of language composition See the delegators #createFromAST method.
      Returns:
      a new instance of this language's scope genitor delegator
    • _scopesGenitorDelegator

      protected RequirementSymbolsScopesGenitorDelegator _scopesGenitorDelegator()
    • initMe

    • reset

      public static void reset()
    • getState

      public static RequirementSymbolsMillState getState()
      EXPERIMENTAL! Returns the mill as an attribute (without static references required).
      Returns:
      the mill state
    • setState

      public static void setState(RequirementSymbolsMillState state)
      EXPERIMENTAL! Loads the mill state into the static state.
      Parameters:
      state - The non-static state, see #getState()
