 the identifier of the state

 the name of the element for strings when no rule matches (default: "normal") for states this should always be "normal" while for environments it should be the same element that represents the new state (e.g., "comment", "string", etc.)

Detailed Description

Represents a state during the highlighting (e.g., comment state, string state, etc.)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

srchilite::HighlightState::HighlightState ( const std::string &  e = "normal")
Parameters
ethe element for strings when no rule matches (default: "normal")
srchilite::HighlightState::HighlightState ( const HighlightState copy)

Copies all the elements of the highlight state, except for the id: a new id will be used.

Parameters
copy

Member Function Documentation

void srchilite::HighlightState::addRule ( HighlightRulePtr  rule)

Adss a rule to this state.

Parameters
rulethe rule to add at the end of the list
static bool srchilite::HighlightState::betterThan ( const HighlightToken t1,
const HighlightToken t2 
)
static

Whether t1 is better than t2: t1 has a non-longer prefix and a longer matching string (this makes sense only if a string was matched, and in fact this should be used only after having matched something)

Parameters
t1
t2
Returns
bool srchilite::HighlightState::findBestMatch ( const std::string &  s,
HighlightToken token,
const MatchingParameters params 
) const

Tries to find the rule that matches best (and first): the first rule with the smallest prefix and longest matching sequence.

Parameters
sthe string for trying to match the rule
tokenwhere results will be inserted, if the rule matched
paramsadditional arguments for the matching
Returns
whether a matching rule was found
bool srchilite::HighlightState::findBestMatch ( std::string::const_iterator  start,
std::string::const_iterator  end,
HighlightToken token,
const MatchingParameters params 
) const

Tries to find the rule that matches best (and first): the first rule with the smallest prefix and longest matching sequence.

Parameters
startthe beginning of the string for trying to match the rule
endthe beginning of the string for trying to match the rule
tokenwhere results will be inserted, if the rule matched
paramsadditional arguments for the matching
Returns
whether a matching rule was found
void srchilite::HighlightState::replaceReferences ( const ReplacementList rep)

Performs replacement of references in the rules of this state.

For each rule that needs replacement, it creates a copy of the rule.

Parameters
thelist of values for the replacement; the first element is the value for replacing the first dynamic back reference, and so on. (it should contain 9 possibly empty elements)
HighlightRulePtr srchilite::HighlightState::replaceRule ( RuleList::size_type  index,
HighlightRulePtr  rule 
)

Substitutes the rule at the specified position.

The rule must exit at the specified position.

Parameters
index
rulethe new rule
Returns
the old rule
