Clang的Lexer(词法分析器)的源代码的主要位置例如以下:
clang/lib/Lex 这里是基本的Lexer的代码;
clang/include/clang/Lex 这里是Lexer的头文件代码的位置;
同一时候,Lexer还使用了clangBasic库,所以要分析Lexer的代码,clangBasic(clang/lib/Basic)的一些代码也会用到。
首先从Lexer入手。
clang/include/clang/Lex/Lexer.h
clang::Lexer:
00057 //===--------------------------------------------------------------------===// 00058 // Context-specific lexing flags set by the preprocessor. 00059 // 00060 00061 /// ExtendedTokenMode - The lexer can optionally keep comments and whitespace 00062 /// and return them as tokens. This is used for -C and -CC modes, and 00063 /// whitespace preservation can be useful for some clients that want to lex 00064 /// the file in raw mode and get every character from the file. 00065 /// 00066 /// When this is set to 2 it returns comments and whitespace. When set to 1 00067 /// it returns comments, when it is set to 0 it returns normal tokens only. 00068 unsigned char ExtendedTokenMode; 00069 00070 //===--------------------------------------------------------------------===//这个成员变量保存词法分析的一个状态,依据它的值的不同:0、1、2,分别相应仅仅返回正常的token。返回comments
和正常的token。返回空格、comments和正常的token。
以下是几个操作这个成员变量的函数。基本上都是获取值、设置值和重设值。
代码不复杂,
00162 /// isKeepWhitespaceMode - Return true if the lexer should return tokens for 00163 /// every character in the file, including whitespace and comments. This 00164 /// should only be used in raw mode, as the preprocessor is not prepared to 00165 /// deal with the excess tokens. 00166 bool isKeepWhitespaceMode() const { 00167 return ExtendedTokenMode > 1; 00168 } 00169 00170 /// SetKeepWhitespaceMode - This method lets clients enable or disable 00171 /// whitespace retention mode. 00172 void SetKeepWhitespaceMode(bool Val) { 00173 assert((!Val || LexingRawMode || LangOpts.TraditionalCPP) && 00174 "Can only retain whitespace in raw mode or -traditional-cpp"); 00175 ExtendedTokenMode = Val ? 2 : 0; 00176 } 00177 00178 /// inKeepCommentMode - Return true if the lexer should return comments as 00179 /// tokens. 00180 bool inKeepCommentMode() const { 00181 return ExtendedTokenMode > 0; 00182 } 00183 00184 /// SetCommentRetentionMode - Change the comment retention mode of the lexer 00185 /// to the specified mode. This is really only useful when lexing in raw 00186 /// mode, because otherwise the lexer needs to manage this. 00187 void SetCommentRetentionState(bool Mode) { 00188 assert(!isKeepWhitespaceMode() && 00189 "Can't play with comment retention state when retaining whitespace"); 00190 ExtendedTokenMode = Mode ?关于raw mode:1 : 0; 00191 } 00192 00193 /// Sets the extended token mode back to its initial value, according to the 00194 /// language options and preprocessor. This controls whether the lexer 00195 /// produces comment and whitespace tokens. 00196 /// 00197 /// This requires the lexer to have an associated preprocessor. A standalone 00198 /// lexer has nothing to reset to. 00199 void resetExtendedTokenMode();
raw mode的时候。ExtendedTokenMode = 2,Lexer会输出包括空格、comments和正常tokens在内的全部
字符。在Lexer的父类:clang::PreprocessorLexer类中(),有一个成员变量:
00049 /// rief True if in raw mode. 00050 /// 00051 /// Raw mode disables interpretation of tokens and is a far faster mode to 00052 /// lex in than non-raw-mode. This flag: 00053 /// 1. If EOF of the current lexer is found, the include stack isn't popped. 00054 /// 2. Identifier information is not looked up for identifier tokens. As an 00055 /// effect of this, implicit macro expansion is naturally disabled. 00056 /// 3. "#" tokens at the start of a line are treated as normal tokens, not 00057 /// implicitly transformed by the lexer. 00058 /// 4. All diagnostic messages are disabled. 00059 /// 5. No callbacks are made into the preprocessor. 00060 /// 00061 /// Note that in raw mode that the PP pointer may be null. 00062 bool LexingRawMode;它能够表明Lexer是否在raw mode下。同一时候,这里的凝视也说明了raw model的作用。
从clang::Lexer的定义能够看出,它是clang::PreprocessorLexer的子类,上面raw model的部分也引用了clang::PreprocessorLexer类的代码,以下看下clang::PreprocessorLexer的代码。
clang/include/clang/Lex/PreprocessorLexer.h
00022 namespace clang { 00023 00024 class FileEntry; 00025 class Preprocessor;从这里能够看出clang::PreprocessorLexer使用了上面两个类,而在头文件里的详细位置就是:
00027 class PreprocessorLexer { 00028 virtual void anchor(); 00029 protected: 00030 Preprocessor *PP; // Preprocessor object controlling lexing.以及
00164 /// getFileEntry - Return the FileEntry corresponding to this FileID. Like 00165 /// getFileID(), this only works for lexers with attached preprocessors. 00166 const FileEntry *getFileEntry() const;
从代码中能够看出。这两个类,一个是作为成员变量。一个是作为了一个成员函数的返回类型来使用的。我们跟踪代码去看下这两个类的详细实现。这两个类的详细实现。FileEntry较为简单。非常easy看出究竟内容。而Preprocessor类较为复杂,牵涉内容较多,在这里暂且不作分析。兴许继续分析。
