Field Detail

kind

public final Symbol.Kind kind

production

public final Symbol[] production

The production for this symbol. If this symbol is a terminal this is null. Otherwise this holds the the sequence of the symbols that forms the production for this symbol. The sequence is in the reverse order of production. This is useful for easy copying onto parsing stack. Please note that this is a final. So the production for a symbol should be known before that symbol is constructed. This requirement cannot be met for those symbols which are recursive (e.g. a record that holds union a branch of which is the record itself). To resolve this problem, we initialize the symbol with an array of nulls. Later we fill the symbols. Not clean, but works. The other option is to not have this field a final. But keeping it final and thus keeping symbol immutable gives some confort. See various generators how we generate records.
