Interface ExtendedBraceProvider

All Superinterfaces:

BraceProvider

public interface ExtendedBraceProvider

extends BraceProvider

The ExtendedBraceProvider interface extends the BraceProvider to provide a routine to allow matching-brace highlight support to locate the closest brace.

This allows brace-matching to always highlight the closest enclosing braces (vs. highlighting only when on the brace). This is a separate interface to avoid breaking existing language implementations that already implement BraceProvider.

Field Summary

static int	BRACE_TYPE_ARRAY Constant indicating that the given brace type is used for array indexing.
static int	BRACE_TYPE_BLOCK Constant indicating that the given brace type is used for delimiting code blocks.
static int	BRACE_TYPE_PARENTHETICAL Constant indicating that the given brace type is used in parenthetical expressions.
static int	BRACE_TYPE_UNKNOWN Constant indicating that the given brace type is unknown.

Method Summary

int	findClosestBrace(int offset, NumberRange braceLocation) Finds the brace that is closest to the specified offset, but which occurs before the specified offset.
int	getBraceType(int tokenType, NumberRange braceLocation) Fetch the brace type represented by the given language-specific token type, such as BRACE_TYPE_PARENTHETICAL.
boolean	isCloseBraceType(int tokenType) Fetch whether the brace type represented by the given language-specific token type represents a CLOSED brace type.
boolean	isOpenBraceType(int tokenType) Fetch whether the brace type represented by the given language-specific token type represents an OPEN brace type.

Method Detail

findClosestBrace

int findClosestBrace(int offset,
                     NumberRange braceLocation)

Finds the brace that is closest to the specified offset, but which occurs before the specified offset. This routine returns a language-specific token type corresponding to the given brace at the offset, or -1 (Lexer.NOT_FOUND) if the offset is not part of a brace.

Parameters:

offset - the starting offset to search from

braceLocation - an out parameter to pass start and end offset information to the caller if a closest brace was found before the offset

isOpenBraceType

boolean isOpenBraceType(int tokenType)

Fetch whether the brace type represented by the given language-specific token type represents an OPEN brace type.

Parameters:

tokenType - the language-specific token type returned by findClosestBrace

Returns:

true if the token type represents an open brace type

isCloseBraceType

boolean isCloseBraceType(int tokenType)

Fetch whether the brace type represented by the given language-specific token type represents a CLOSED brace type.

Parameters:

tokenType - the language-specific token type returned by findClosestBrace

Returns:

true if the token type represents a close brace type

getBraceType

int getBraceType(int tokenType,
                 NumberRange braceLocation)

Fetch the brace type represented by the given language-specific token type, such as BRACE_TYPE_PARENTHETICAL.

Parameters:

tokenType - the language-specific token type returned by findClosestBrace

braceLocation - the brace location filled in by findClosestBrace()

Returns:

the brace type for the specified language-specific token type
