Make a node the new root of an existing root. See

Note: the newRootID parameter is possibly different than the TreeAdaptor.becomeRoot() newRoot parameter. In our case, it will always be the result of calling TreeAdaptor.becomeRoot() and not root_n or whatever.

The listener should assume that this event occurs only when the current subrule (or rule) subtree is being reset to newRootID.

If you are receiving this event over a socket via RemoteDebugEventSocketListener then only IDs are set.

Indicates the recognizer is about to consume tokens to resynchronize the parser. Any consume events from here until the recovered event are not part of the parse--they are dead tokens.

Referenced by antlr3DebugListenerNew(), beginResync(), and recoverFromMismatchedToken().

Announce that parsing has begun. Not technically useful except for sending events over a socket. A GUI for example will launch a thread to connect and communicate with a remote parser. The thread will want to notify the GUI when a connection is made. ANTLR parsers trigger this upon entry to the first rule (the ruleLevel is used to figure this out).

An off-channel input token was consumed. Trigger after the token was matched by things like match(), matchAny(). (unless of course the hidden token is first stuff in the input stream).

Referenced by antlr3DebugListenerNew(), consumeInitialHiddenTokens(), and dbgConsume().

Input for a tree parser is an AST, but we know nothing for sure about a node except its type and text (obtained from the adaptor). This is the analog of the consumeToken method. The ID is usually the memory address of the node. If the type is UP or DOWN, then the ID is not really meaningful as it's fixed--there is just one UP node and one DOWN navigation node.

Note that unlike the Java version, the node type of the C parsers is always fixed as pANTLR3_BASE_TREE because all such structures contain a super pointer to their parent, which is generally COMMON_TREE and within that there is a super pointer that can point to a user type that encapsulates it. Almost akin to saying that it is an interface pointer except we don't need to know what the interface is in full, just those bits that are the base.

Referenced by antlr3DebugListenerNew(), and endBacktrack().

Indicates that the recognizer has finished consuming tokens in order to resynchronize. There may be multiple beginResync/endResync pairs before the recognizer comes out of errorRecovery mode (in which multiple errors are suppressed). This will be useful in a gui where you want to probably grey out tokens that are consumed but not matched to anything in grammar. Anything between a beginResync/endResync pair was tossed out by the parser.

Because rules can have lots of alternatives, it is very useful to know which alt you are entering. This is 1..n for n alts.

Every decision, fixed k or arbitrary, has an enter/exit event so that a GUI can easily track what LT/consume events are associated with prediction. You will see a single enter/exit subrule but multiple enter/exit decision events, one for each loop iteration.

To watch a parser move through the grammar, the parser needs to inform the debugger what line/charPos it is passing in the grammar. For now, this does not know how to switch from one grammar to the other and back for island grammars etc...

This should also allow breakpoints because the debugger can stop the parser whenever it hits this line/pos.

Somebody (anybody) looked ahead. Note that this actually gets triggered by both LA and LT calls. The debugger will want to know which Token object was examined. Like consumeToken, this indicates what token was seen at that depth. A remote debugger cannot look ahead into a file it doesn't have so LT events must pass the token even if the info is redundant.

The tree parser looked ahead. If the type is UP or DOWN, then the ID is not really meaningful as it's fixed--there is just one UP node and one DOWN navigation node.

A nil was created (even nil nodes have a unique ID... they are not 'null' per se). As of 4/28/2006, this seems to be uniquely triggered when starting a new subtree such as when entering a subrule in automatic mode and when building a tree in rewrite mode.

If you are receiving this event over a socket via RemoteDebugEventSocketListener then only t.ID is set.

A recognition exception occurred such as NoViableAltException. I made this a generic event so that I can alter the exception hierarchy later without having to alter all the debug objects.

Upon error, the stack of enter rule/subrule must be properly unwound. If no viable alt occurs it is within an enter/exit decision, which also must be rewound. Even the rewind for each mark must be unwound. In the Java target this is pretty easy using try/finally, if a bit ugly in the generated code. The rewind is generated in DFA.predict() actually so no code needs to be generated for that. For languages w/o this 'finally' feature (C++?), the target implementor will have to build an event stack or something.

Across a socket for remote debugging, only the RecognitionException data fields are transmitted. The token object or whatever that caused the problem was the last object referenced by LT. The immediately preceding LT event should hold the unexpected Token or char.

Here is a sample event trace for grammar:

b : C ({;}A|B) // {;} is there to prevent A|B becoming a set | D ;

The sequence for this rule (with no viable alt in the subrule) for input 'c c' (there are 3 tokens) is:

commence
LT(1)
enterRule b
location 7 1
enter decision 3
LT(1)
exit decision 3
enterAlt1
location 7 5
LT(1)
consumeToken [c/<4>,1:0]
location 7 7
enterSubRule 2
enter decision 2
LT(1)
LT(1)
recognitionException NoViableAltException 2 1 2
exit decision 2
exitSubRule 2
beginResync
LT(1)
consumeToken [c/<4>,1:1]
LT(1)
endResync
LT(-1)
exitRule b
terminate

Rewind to the input position of the last marker. Used currently only after a cyclic DFA and just before starting a sem/syn predicate to get the input position back to the start of the decision. Do not 'pop' the marker off the state. mark(i) and rewind(i) should balance still.
