package PPI::Structure; =pod =head1 NAME PPI::Structure - The base class for Perl braced structures =head1 INHERITANCE PPI::Structure isa PPI::Node isa PPI::Element =head1 DESCRIPTION PPI::Structure is the root class for all Perl bracing structures. This covers all forms of C< [ ... ] >, C< { ... } >, and C< ( ... ) > brace types, and includes cases where only one half of the pair exist. The class PPI::Structure itself is full abstract and no objects of that type should actually exist in the tree. =head2 Elements vs Children A B has an unusual existence. Unlike a L or L, which both simply contain other elements, a structure B contains and consists of content. That is, the brace tokens are B considered to be "children" of the structure, but are part of it. In practice, this will mean that while the -Eelements and -Etokens methods (and related) B return a list with the brace tokens at either end, the -Echildren method explicitly will B return the brace. =head1 STRUCTURE CLASSES Excluding the transient L that exists briefly inside the parser, there are eight types of structure. =head2 L This covers all round braces used for function arguments, in C loops, literal lists, and braces used for precedence-ordering purposes. =head2 L Although B used for the C loop list, this B used for the special case of the round-brace three-part semicolon-separated C loop expression (the traditional C style for loop). =head2 L This is for the expression being matched in switch statements. =head2 L This is for the matching expression in "when" statements. =head2 L This round-brace structure covers boolean conditional braces, such as for C and C blocks. =head2 L This curly-brace and common structure is used for all form of code blocks. This includes those for C, C and similar, as well as C, C, C, C and (labelled or anonymous) scoping blocks. =head2 L This class covers brace structures used for the construction of anonymous C and C references. =head2 L This class covers square-braces and curly-braces used after a -E pointer to access the subscript of an C or C. =head1 METHODS C itself has very few methods. Most of the time, you will be working with the more generic L or L methods, or one of the methods that are subclass-specific. =cut use strict; use Scalar::Util (); use Params::Util qw{_INSTANCE}; use PPI::Node (); use PPI::Exception (); use PPI::Singletons '%_PARENT'; our $VERSION = '1.278'; our @ISA = "PPI::Node"; use PPI::Structure::Block (); use PPI::Structure::Condition (); use PPI::Structure::Constructor (); use PPI::Structure::For (); use PPI::Structure::Given (); use PPI::Structure::List (); use PPI::Structure::Subscript (); use PPI::Structure::Unknown (); use PPI::Structure::When (); ##################################################################### # Constructor sub new { my $class = shift; my $Token = PPI::Token::__LEXER__opens($_[0]) ? shift : return undef; # Create the object my $self = bless { children => [], start => $Token, }, $class; # Set the start braces parent link Scalar::Util::weaken( $_PARENT{Scalar::Util::refaddr $Token} = $self ); $self; } ##################################################################### # PPI::Structure API methods =pod =head2 start For lack of better terminology (like "open" and "close") that has not already in use for some other more important purpose, the two individual braces for the structure are known within PPI as the "start" and "finish" braces (at least for method purposes). The C method returns the start brace for the structure (i.e. the opening brace). Returns the brace as a L or C if the structure does not have a starting brace. Under normal parsing circumstances this should never occur, but may happen due to manipulation of the PDOM tree. =cut sub start { $_[0]->{start} } =pod =head2 finish The C method returns the finish brace for the structure (i.e. the closing brace). Returns the brace as a L or C if the structure does not have a finishing brace. This can be quite common if the document is not complete (for example, from an editor where the user may be halfway through typeing a subroutine). =cut sub finish { $_[0]->{finish} } =pod =head2 braces The C method is a utility method which returns the brace type, regardless of whether both or just one of the braces is defined. Returns one of the three strings C<'[]'>, C<'{}'>, or C<'()'>, or C on error (primarily not having a start brace, as mentioned above). =cut sub braces { my $self = $_[0]->{start} ? shift : return undef; return { '[' => '[]', '(' => '()', '{' => '{}', }->{ $self->{start}->{content} }; } =pod =head1 complete The C method is a convenience method that returns true if the both braces are defined for the structure, or false if only one brace is defined. Unlike the top level C method which checks for completeness in depth, the structure complete method ONLY confirms completeness for the braces, and does not recurse downwards. =cut sub complete { !! ($_[0]->{start} and $_[0]->{finish}); } ##################################################################### # PPI::Node overloaded methods # For us, the "elements" concept includes the brace tokens sub elements { my $self = shift; if ( wantarray ) { # Return a list in array context return ( $self->{start} || (), @{$self->{children}}, $self->{finish} || () ); } else { # Return the number of elements in scalar context. # This is memory-cheaper than creating another big array return scalar(@{$self->{children}}) + ($self->{start} ? 1 : 0) + ($self->{finish} ? 1 : 0); } } # For us, the first element is probably the opening brace sub first_element { # Technically, if we have no children and no opening brace, # then the first element is the closing brace. $_[0]->{start} or $_[0]->{children}->[0] or $_[0]->{finish}; } # For us, the last element is probably the closing brace sub last_element { # Technically, if we have no children and no closing brace, # then the last element is the opening brace $_[0]->{finish} or $_[0]->{children}->[-1] or $_[0]->{start}; } # Location is same as the start token, if any sub location { my $self = shift; my $first = $self->first_element or return undef; $first->location; } ##################################################################### # PPI::Element overloaded methods # Get the full set of tokens, including start and finish sub tokens { my $self = shift; my @tokens = ( $self->{start} || (), $self->SUPER::tokens(@_), $self->{finish} || (), ); @tokens; } # Like the token method ->content, get our merged contents. # This will recurse downwards through everything ### Reimplement this using List::Utils stuff sub content { my $self = shift; my $content = $self->{start} ? $self->{start}->content : ''; foreach my $child ( @{$self->{children}} ) { $content .= $child->content; } $content .= $self->{finish}->content if $self->{finish}; $content; } # Is the structure completed sub _complete { !!
