All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

public abstract class JsScope
extends Object
implements Serializable

A scope is a factory for creating and allocating JsNames. A JavaScript AST is built in terms of abstract name objects without worrying about obfuscation, keyword/identifier blacklisting, and so on.

Scopes are associated with JsFunctions, but the two are not equivalent. Functions have scopes, but a scope does not necessarily have an associated Function. Examples of this include the JsRootScope and synthetic scopes that might be created by a client.

Scopes can have parents to provide constraints when allocating actual identifiers for names. Specifically, names in child scopes are chosen such that they do not conflict with names in their parent scopes. The ultimate parent is usually the global scope (see JsProgram.getScope()), but parentless scopes are useful for managing names that are always accessed with a qualifier and could therefore never be confused with the global scope hierarchy.

Method Detail

declareName

public final JsName declareName(String ident)

Gets a name object associated with the specified ident in this scope, creating it if necessary.

Parameters:

ident - An identifier that is unique within this scope.

declareName

public final JsName declareName(String ident,
                                String shortIdent)

Gets a name object associated with the specified ident in this scope, creating it if necessary.

Parameters:

ident - An identifier that is unique within this scope.

shortIdent - A "pretty" name that does not have to be unique.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if ident already exists in this scope but the requested short name does not match the existing short name.

findExistingName

public final JsName findExistingName(String ident)

Attempts to find the name object for the specified ident, searching in this scope, and if not found, in the parent scopes.

Returns:

null if the identifier has no associated name

findExistingUnobfuscatableName

public final JsName findExistingUnobfuscatableName(String ident)

Attempts to find an unobfuscatable name object for the specified ident, searching in this scope, and if not found, in the parent scopes.

Returns:

null if the identifier has no associated name

getAllNames

public abstract Iterable<JsName> getAllNames()

Returns an iterable for all the names defined by this scope.

getChildren

public abstract List<JsScope> getChildren()

Returns a list of this scope's child scopes.

getParent

public abstract JsScope getParent()

Returns the parent scope of this scope, or null if this is the root scope.

toString

public final String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

addChild

protected abstract void addChild(JsScope child)

doCreateName

protected abstract JsName doCreateName(String ident,
                                       String shortIdent)

Creates a new name in this scope.

findExistingNameNoRecurse

protected abstract JsName findExistingNameNoRecurse(String ident)

Attempts to find the name object for the specified ident, searching in this scope only.

Returns:

null if the identifier has no associated name
