public class FinalPattern
extends NounPattern

Safe: BNF: ID ':' expr

The identifier on the left is the defining occurrence of a variable name. The expression on the right is a "value guard expression". The object it evaluates to will be treated as a ValueGuard, and asked to make a value initialized from a specimen, as if:


      def value := valueGuard coerce(specimen, XXX)

 

This value is then defined as the value for a variable of this name in the scope starting immediately after this name.

But wait! That scope includes the value guard expression?!? As with the def-expression, this circularity is indeed allowed and correct in the user-level language, but the kernel-level language (ie, the parse node FinalPattern) imposes a well-formedness criterea that allows us to evaluate in the wrong order without effect. A circular user-level final-pattern must be translated into a well-formed kernel-level FinalPattern.

welcome

public Object welcome(ETreeVisitor visitor)
Enabled:

Specified by:
welcome in class ENode

computeStaticScope

protected StaticScope computeStaticScope()
Description copied from class: ENode
When staticScope() is first requested on a given node, it calls computeStaticScope() to do the actual computation, which is then remembered.

Specified by:

EExpr guardExpr()
Specified by:
guardExpr in class NounPattern

getValueGuard

public EExpr getValueGuard()
Enabled:


testMatch

void testMatch(EvalContext ctx,
               Object specimen,
               OneArgFunc optEjector)
Description copied from class: Pattern
If this pattern matches the specimen, add macthing bindings to the scope.

Otherwise report the reason why not according to optEjector.

Specified by:
testMatch in class Pattern
