TokenStreamRewriter

Useful for rewriting out a buffered input token stream after doing some augmentation or other manipulations on it.

<p> You can insert stuff, replace, and delete chunks. Note that the operations are done lazily--only if you convert the buffer to a {@link String} with {@link TokenStream#getText()}. This is very efficient because you are not moving data around all the time. As the buffer of tokens is converted to strings, the {@link #getText()} method(s) scan the input token stream and check to see if there is an operation at the current index. If so, the operation is done and then normal {@link String} rendering continues on the buffer. This is like having multiple Turing machine instruction streams (programs) operating on a single input tape. :)</p>

<p> This rewriter makes no modifications to the token stream. It does not ask the stream to fill itself up nor does it advance the input cursor. The token stream {@link TokenStream#index()} will return the same value before and after any {@link #getText()} call.</p>

<p> The rewriter only works on tokens that you have in the buffer and ignores the current input cursor. If you are buffering tokens on-demand, calling {@link #getText()} halfway through the input will only do rewrites for those tokens in the first half of the file.</p>

<p> Since the operations are done lazily at {@link #getText}-time, operations do not screw up the token index values. That is, an insert operation at token index {@code i} does not change the index values for tokens {@code i}+1..n-1.</p>

<p> Because operations never actually alter the buffer, you may always get the original token stream back without undoing anything. Since the instructions are queued up, you can easily simulate transactions and roll back any changes if there is an error just by removing instructions. For example,</p>

<pre> CharStream input = new ANTLRFileStream("input"); TLexer lex = new TLexer(input); CommonTokenStream tokens = new CommonTokenStream(lex); T parser = new T(tokens); TokenStreamRewriter rewriter = new TokenStreamRewriter(tokens); parser.startRule(); </pre>

<p> Then in the rules, you can execute (assuming rewriter is visible):</p>

<pre> Token t,u; ... rewriter.insertAfter(t, "text to put after t");} rewriter.insertAfter(u, "text after u");} System.out.println(rewriter.getText()); </pre>

<p> You can also have multiple "instruction streams" and get multiple rewrites from a single pass over the input. Just name the instruction streams and use that name again when printing the buffer. This could be useful for generating a C file and also its header file--all from the same buffer:</p>

<pre> rewriter.insertAfter("pass1", t, "text to put after t");} rewriter.insertAfter("pass2", u, "text after u");} System.out.println(rewriter.getText("pass1")); System.out.println(rewriter.getText("pass2")); </pre>

<p> If you don't use named rewrite streams, a "default" stream is used as the first example shows.</p>

getText T getText(): Return the text from the original tokens altered per the instructions given to this rewriter.
getText T getText(string programName): Return the text from the original tokens altered per the instructions given to this rewriter in programName.
getText T getText(Interval interval): Return the text associated with the tokens in the interval from the original token stream but with the alterations given to this rewriter. The interval refers to the indexes in the original token stream. We do not alter the token stream in any way, so the indexes and intervals are still consistent. Includes any operations done to the first and last token in the interval. So, if you did an insertBefore on the first token, you would get that insertion. The same is true if you do an insertAfter the stop token.
