PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType - Represent a grouping parenthesis type.
use PPIx::Regexp::Dumper; PPIx::Regexp::Dumper->new( 'qr{(?i:foo)}smx' ) ->print();
PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType is a PPIx::Regexp::Token.
PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType
PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType is the parent of PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Assertion, PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::BranchReset, PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Code, PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Modifier, PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::NamedCapture, PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Subexpression and PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Switch.
This class represents any of the magic sequences of characters that can follow an open parenthesis. This particular class is intended to be abstract.
This class provides no public methods beyond those provided by its superclass.
my $string = $class->__defining_string();
This method is private to the PPIx-Regexp package, and is documented for the author's benefit only. It may be changed or revoked without notice.
PPIx-Regexp
This method returns an array of strings that define the specific group type. These strings will normally start with '?'.
'?'
Optionally, the first returned item may be a hash reference. The only supported key is {suffix}, which is a string to be suffixed to each of the regular expressions made by __make_group_type_matcher() out of the defining strings, inside a (?= ... ), so that it is not included in the match.
{suffix}
__make_group_type_matcher()
(?= ... )
This method must be overridden, unless __make_group_type_matcher() is. The override must return the same thing each time, since the results of __make_group_type_matcher() are cached.
my $hash_ref = $class->__make_group_type_matcher();
This method returns a reference to a hash. The keys are regexp delimiter characters which appear in the defining strings for the group type. For each key, the value is a reference to an array of Regexp objects, properly escaped for the key character. Key '' provides the regular expressions to be used if the regexp delimiter does not appear in any of the defining strings.
Regexp
''
If this method is overridden by the subclass, method __defining_string() need not be, unless the overridden __make_group_type_matcher() calls __defining_string().
__defining_string()
$class->__match_setup( $tokenizer );
This method performs whatever setup is needed once it is determined that the given group type has been detected. This method is called only if the class matched at the current position in the string being parsed. It must perform whatever extra setup is needed for the match. It returns nothing.
This method need not be overridden. The default does nothing.
Support is by the author. Please file bug reports at http://rt.cpan.org, or in electronic mail to the author.
