Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	canParse()	Deprecated. With 7.0.0, all parsers will be able to parse and this method will be removed.
ParserOptions	getParserOptions()	Deprecated. Parser options should be a parameter to parse(String, Reader)
Map<Integer,String>	getSuppressMap()	Deprecated. With 7.0.0, this method will be removed.
TokenManager	getTokenManager(String fileName, Reader source)	Deprecated. For removal in 7.0.0
Node	parse(String fileName, Reader source)	Parse source code and return the root node of the AST.

Method Detail

getParserOptions

@Deprecated
ParserOptions getParserOptions()

Deprecated.

Parser options should be a parameter to parse(String, Reader)

Get the ParserOptions used by this Parser.

getTokenManager

@Deprecated
TokenManager getTokenManager(String fileName,
                             Reader source)

Deprecated.

For removal in 7.0.0

Get a TokenManager for the given source.

Parameters:

fileName - The file name being parsed (may be null).

source - Reader that provides the source code to tokenize.

Returns:

A TokenManager for reading token.

canParse

@Deprecated
boolean canParse()

Deprecated.

With 7.0.0, all parsers will be able to parse and this method will be removed. Note that in the meantime, you probably still need to check this method.

Indicates if this parser can actual parse, or if it can only tokenize.

parse

Node parse(String fileName,
           Reader source)
    throws ParseException

Parse source code and return the root node of the AST.

Parameters:

fileName - The file name being parsed (may be null).

source - Reader that provides the source code of a compilation unit

Returns:

the root node of the AST that is built from the source code

Throws:

ParseException - In case the source code could not be parsed, probably due to syntactical errors.

getSuppressMap

@Deprecated
Map<Integer,String> getSuppressMap()

Deprecated.

With 7.0.0, this method will be removed. To support suppressing with suppress markers, this method is still needed in PMD 6.

Returns the map of line numbers to suppression / review comments. Only single line comments are considered, that start with the configured "suppressMarker", which by default is "PMD". The text after the suppressMarker is used as a "review comment" and included in this map.

This map is later used to determine, if a violation is being suppressed. It is suppressed, if the line of the violation is contained in this suppress map.

Returns:

map of the suppress lines with the corresponding review comments.
