Constructor Detail

BracePair

public BracePair(char leftBraceChar,
                 IElementType leftBrace,
                 char rightBraceChar,
                 IElementType rightBrace,
                 boolean structural)

Creates a new brace pair instance.

Parameters:

leftBraceChar - the character for the left brace in the pair.

leftBrace - the lexer token type for the left brace in the pair.

rightBraceChar - the character for the right brace in the pair.

rightBrace - the lexer token type for the right brace in the pair.

structural - if true, the brace is considered structural (see isStructural() for details)

Method Detail

getLeftBraceType

public IElementType getLeftBraceType()

Returns the lexer token type for the left brace in the pair.

Returns:

token type

getRightBraceType

public IElementType getRightBraceType()

Returns the lexer token type for the right brace in the pair.

Returns:

token type

isStructural

public boolean isStructural()

Returns true if the brace is structural. Structural braces have higher priority than regular braces: they are matched with each other even if there are unmatched braces of other types between them, and an opening non-structural brace is not matched with a closing one if one of them is outside a pair of matched structural braces and another is outside. In Java code, the curly braces are structural.

Returns:

true if the brace is structural, false otherwise.

getLeftBraceChar

public char getLeftBraceChar()

Returns the character for the left brace in the pair.

Returns:

brace character

getRightBraceChar

public char getRightBraceChar()

Returns the character for the right brace in the pair.

Returns:

brace character
