`class Generic`

Represents a generic language implementation that can be extended for specific languages.

Definitions

`def initialize(name, extensions: self.class::EXTENSIONS, tags: self.class::TAGS)`

Initialize a new generic language.

Signature

parameter　name　String: The name of the language.
parameter　extensions　Array(String): File extensions for this language.
parameter　tags　Comment::Tags: The comment tags to recognize.

Implementation

def initialize(name, extensions: self.class::EXTENSIONS, tags: self.class::TAGS)
	@name = name
	@extensions = extensions
	@tags = tags
end

`attr :name`

The name of this language.

Signature

attribute　String: The language name.

`def names`

Get all names for this language.

Signature

returns　Array(String): An array containing the language name.

Implementation

def names
	[@name]
end

`attr :extensions`

The file extensions this language supports.

Signature

attribute　Array(String): The supported file extensions.

`attr :tags`

The comment tags this language recognizes.

Signature

attribute　Comment::Tags: The tag definitions.

`def reference_for(identifier)`

Generate a language-specific reference.

Signature

parameter　identifier　String: A valid identifier for this language.
returns　Reference: A reference object for the given identifier.

Implementation

def reference_for(identifier)
	Reference.new(identifier, self)
end

`def parser`

Get the parser for this language.

Signature

returns　Parser | Nil: The parser instance, or nil if not available.

Implementation

def parser
	nil
end

`def definitions_for(source, &block)`

Parse the input yielding definitions.

Signature

parameter　source　Source

The input source file which contains the source code.

yields　{|definition| ...}

Receives the definitions extracted from the source code.

parameter　definition　Definition: The source code definition including methods, classes, etc.

returns　Enumerator(Segment)

If no block given.

Implementation

def definitions_for(source, &block)
	if parser = self.parser
		parser.definitions_for(source, &block)
	end
end

`def segments_for(source, &block)`

Parse the input yielding segments. Segments are constructed from a block of top level comments followed by a block of code.

Signature

parameter　source　Source

The input source file which contains the source code.

yields　{|segment| ...}

parameter　segment　Segment

returns　Enumerator(Segment)

If no block given.

Implementation

def segments_for(source, &block)
	if parser = self.parser
		parser.segments_for(source, &block)
	end
end
