Methods

Accept(RuleApplication, List<RuleApplication>, ParseContext)

Decides whether the provided rule application shall be accepted

protected bool Accept(RuleApplication ruleApplication, List<RuleApplication> ruleApplications, ParseContext context)

Parameters

ruleApplication RuleApplication

the rule application that shall be accepted

ruleApplications List<RuleApplication>

the rule applications accepted so far

context ParseContext

the parse context in which the rule applications shall be accepted

Returns

bool

true, if the rule application shall be accepted, otherwise false

CanStartWith(Rule, List<Rule>)

Indicates whether the rule could start with the given other rule

protected override bool CanStartWith(Rule rule, List<Rule> trace)

Parameters

rule Rule

the other rule

trace List<Rule>

a list of rules visited so far

Returns

bool

true, if the rule could start with the given other rule, otherwise false

CanSynthesize(object, ParseContext, SynthesisPlan)

Determines whether the current rule can synthesize rule applications for the given semantic element

Parameters

semanticElement object

the semantic element

context ParseContext

the context in which the rule is synthesized

synthesisPlan SynthesisPlan

the plan of the synthesis

Returns

bool

true, if a rule application can be synthesized, otherwise false
