Detailed Description

Parse an expression, returning a tree of node corresponding to the parsed expression.

This is a LL(1) parser. This could be extracted to a generic/reusable parser by refactoring out the dependency on gd::MetadataProvider (injecting instead functions to be called to query supported functions).

◆ ParseExpression()

std::unique_ptr<ExpressionNode> gd::ExpressionParser2::ParseExpression ( const gd::String expression_)
inline

Parse the given expression into a tree of nodes.

Parameters
expressionThe expression to parse.
Returns
The node representing the expression as a parsed tree.

◆ WrittenParametersFirstIndex()

static size_t gd::ExpressionParser2::WrittenParametersFirstIndex ( const gd::String objectName,
const gd::String behaviorName 
)
inlinestatic

Given an object name (or empty if none) and a behavior name (or empty if none), return the index of the first parameter that is inside the parenthesis: 0, 1 or 2.

For example, in an expression like Object.MyBehavior::Method("hello"), the parameter "hello" is the second parameter (the first being by convention Object, and the second MyBehavior, also by convention).
