Method Detail

advance

public final Symbol advance(Symbol input)
                     throws IOException

Recursively replaces the symbol at the top of the stack with its production, until the top is a terminal. Then checks if the top symbol matches the terminal symbol suppled terminal.

Parameters:

input - The symbol to match against the terminal at the top of the stack.

Returns:

The terminal symbol at the top of the stack unless an implicit action resulted in another symbol, in which case that symbol is returned.

Throws:

IOException

pushProduction

public final void pushProduction(Symbol input,
                                 Symbol sym)

Pushes the production for the given symbol sym. If sym is a repeater and input is either Symbol.ARRAY_END or Symbol.MAP_END pushes nothing.

Parameters:

input -

sym -

popSymbol

public Symbol popSymbol()

Pops and returns the top symbol from the stack.

topSymbol

public Symbol topSymbol()

Returns the top symbol from the stack.

pushSymbol

public void pushSymbol(Symbol sym)

Pushes sym on to the stack.

depth

public int depth()

Returns the depth of the stack.

reset

public void reset()
