=head1 NAME
PPIx::Regexp::Element - Base of the PPIx::Regexp hierarchy.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
No user-serviceable parts inside.
=head1 INHERITANCE
C<PPIx::Regexp::Element> is not descended from any other class.
C<PPIx::Regexp::Element> is the parent of
L<PPIx::Regexp::Node|PPIx::Regexp::Node> and
L<PPIx::Regexp::Token|PPIx::Regexp::Token>.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class is the base of the L<PPIx::Regexp|PPIx::Regexp>
object hierarchy. It provides the same kind of navigational
functionality that is provided by L<PPI::Element|PPI::Element>.
=head1 METHODS
This class provides the following public methods. Methods not documented
here are private, and unsupported in the sense that the author reserves
the right to change or remove them without notice.

=head2 ancestor_of
This method returns true if the object is an ancestor of the argument,
and false otherwise. By the definition of this method, C<$self> is its
own ancestor.
=cut
sub ancestor_of {
my ( $self, $elem ) = @_;
__instance( $elem, __PACKAGE__ ) or return;
my $addr = refaddr( $self );
while ( $addr != refaddr( $elem ) ) {
$elem = $elem->_parent() or return;
}
return 1;
}
=head2 can_be_quantified
$token->can_be_quantified()
and print "This element can be quantified.\n";
This method returns true if the element can be quantified.
=cut
sub can_be_quantified { return 1; }
=head2 class
This method returns the class name of the element. It is the same as
C<ref $self>.
=cut
sub class {
my ( $self ) = @_;
return ref $self;
}
=head2 comment
This method returns true if the element is a comment and false
otherwise.
=cut
sub comment {
return;
}
=head2 content
This method returns the content of the element.
=cut
sub content {
return;
}
=head2 descendant_of
This method returns true if the object is a descendant of the argument,
and false otherwise. By the definition of this method, C<$self> is its
own descendant.
=cut
sub descendant_of {
my ( $self, $node ) = @_;
__instance( $node, __PACKAGE__ ) or return;
return $node->ancestor_of( $self );
}
=head2 error
say $token->error();
If an element is one of the classes that represents a parse error, this
method B<may> return a brief message saying why. Otherwise it will
return C<undef>.
=cut
sub error {
my ( $self ) = @_;
return $self->{error};
}
=head2 is_quantifier
$token->is_quantifier()
and print "This element is a quantifier.\n";
This method returns true if the element is a quantifier. You can not
tell this from the element's class, because a right curly bracket may
represent a quantifier for the purposes of figuring out whether a
greediness token is possible.
=cut
sub is_quantifier { return; }
=head2 modifier_asserted
$token->modifier_asserted( 'i' )
and print "Matched without regard to case.\n";
This method returns true if the given modifier is in effect for the
element, and false otherwise.
What it does is to walk backwards from the element until it finds a
modifier object that specifies the modifier, whether asserted or
negated. and returns the specified value. If nobody specifies the
modifier, it returns C<undef>.
This method will not work reliably if called on tokenizer output.
=cut
sub modifier_asserted {
my ( $self, $modifier ) = @_;
defined $modifier
or croak 'Modifier must be defined';
my $elem = $self;
while ( $elem ) {
if ( $elem->can( '__ducktype_modifier_asserted' ) ) {
my $val;
defined( $val = $elem->__ducktype_modifier_asserted( $modifier ) )
and return $val;
}
if ( my $prev = $elem->sprevious_sibling() ) {
$elem = $prev;
} else {
$elem = $elem->parent();
}
}
return;
}
=head2 next_sibling
This method returns the element's next sibling, or nothing if there is
none.
=cut
sub next_sibling {
my ( $self ) = @_;
my ( $method, $inx ) = $self->_my_inx()
or return;
return $self->_parent()->$method( $inx + 1 );
}
=head2 parent
This method returns the parent of the element, or undef if there is
none.
=cut
sub parent {
my ( $self ) = @_;
return $self->_parent();
}
=head2 perl_version_introduced
This method returns the version of Perl in which the element was
introduced. This will be at least 5.000. Before 5.006 I am relying on
the F<perldelta>, F<perlre>, and F<perlop> documentation, since I have
been unable to build earlier Perls. Since I have found no documentation
before 5.003, I assume that anything found in 5.003 is also in 5.000.
Since this all depends on my ability to read and understand masses of
documentation, the results of this method should be viewed with caution,
if not downright skepticism.
There are also cases which are ambiguous in various ways. For those see
L<PPIx::Regexp/RESTRICTIONS>, and especially
L<PPIx::Regexp/Changes in Syntax>.
=cut
sub perl_version_introduced {
return MINIMUM_PERL;
}
=head2 perl_version_removed
This method returns the version of Perl in which the element was
removed. If the element is still valid the return is C<undef>.
All the I<caveats> to
L<perl_version_introduced()|/perl_version_introduced> apply here also,
though perhaps less severely since although many features have been
introduced since 5.0, few have been removed.
=cut
sub perl_version_removed {
return undef; ## no critic (ProhibitExplicitReturnUndef)
}
=head2 previous_sibling
This method returns the element's previous sibling, or nothing if there
is none.
=cut
sub previous_sibling {
my ( $self ) = @_;
my ( $method, $inx ) = $self->_my_inx()
or return;
$inx or return;
return $self->_parent()->$method( $inx - 1 );
}
=head2 significant
This method returns true if the element is significant and false
otherwise.
=cut
sub significant {
return 1;
}
=head2 snext_sibling
This method returns the element's next significant sibling, or nothing
if there is none.
=cut
sub snext_sibling {
my ( $self ) = @_;
my $sib = $self;
while ( defined ( $sib = $sib->next_sibling() ) ) {
$sib->significant() and return $sib;
}
return;
}
=head2 sprevious_sibling
This method returns the element's previous significant sibling, or
nothing if there is none.
=cut
sub sprevious_sibling {
my ( $self ) = @_;
my $sib = $self;
while ( defined ( $sib = $sib->previous_sibling() ) ) {
$sib->significant() and return $sib;
}
return;
}
=head2 tokens
This method returns all tokens contained in the element.
=cut
sub tokens {
my ( $self ) = @_;
return $self;
}
=head2 top
This method returns the top of the hierarchy.
=cut
sub top {
my ( $self ) = @_;
my $kid = $self;
while ( defined ( my $parent = $kid->_parent() ) ) {
$kid = $parent;
}
return $kid;
}
=head2 unescaped_content
This method returns the content of the element, unescaped.
=cut
sub unescaped_content {
return;
}
=head2 whitespace
This method returns true if the element is whitespace and false
otherwise.
=cut
sub whitespace {
return;
}
=head2 nav
This method returns navigation information from the top of the hierarchy
to this node. The return is a list of names of methods and references to
their argument lists. The idea is that given C<$elem> which is somewhere
under C<$top>,
my @nav = $elem->nav();
my $obj = $top;
while ( @nav ) {
my $method = shift @nav;
my $args = shift @nav;
$obj = $obj->$method( @{ $args } ) or die;
}
# At this point, $obj should contain the same object
# as $elem.
=cut
sub nav {
my ( $self ) = @_;
__instance( $self, __PACKAGE__ ) or return;
# We do not use $self->parent() here because PPIx::Regexp overrides
# this to return the (possibly) PPI object that initiated us.
my $parent = $self->_parent() or return;
return ( $parent->nav(), $parent->_nav( $self ) );
}
# Find our location and index among the parent's children. If not found,
# just returns.
{
my %method_map = (
children => 'child',
);
sub _my_inx {
my ( $self ) = @_;
my $parent = $self->_parent() or return;

$parent->can( $method ) or next;
my $inx = firstidx { refaddr $_ == $addr } $parent->$method();
$inx < 0 and next;
return ( $method_map{$method} || $method, $inx );
}
return;
}
}
{
my %parent;
# no-argument form returns the parent; one-argument sets it.
sub _parent {
my ( $self, @arg ) = @_;
my $addr = refaddr( $self );
if ( @arg ) {
my $parent = shift @arg;
if ( defined $parent ) {
__instance( $parent, __PACKAGE__ ) or return;
weaken(
$parent{$addr} = $parent );
} else {
delete $parent{$addr};
}
}
return $parent{$addr};
}
sub _parent_keys {
return scalar keys %parent;
}
}
# $self->__impose_defaults( $arg, \%default );
#
# This method can be called in __PPIX_TOKEN__post_make() to supply
# defaults for attributes. It returns nothing.
#
# The arguments are hash references, which are taken in left-to-right
# order, with the, with the first extant value being used. Arguments
# which are not hash references are ignored.
#
# With version 0.042_03, this is also the preferred place to
# validate an object, and needs to be called from both
# __PPIX_ELEM__rebless() and __PPIX_TOKEN__post_make(). All overrides of
# this should call SUPER:: unless they REALLY know what they are doing,
# and document what is going on.
sub __impose_defaults {
