PPIx::Regexp::Constant(3)
NAME
PPIx::Regexp::Constant - Constants for the PPIx::Regexp system
SYNOPSIS
use PPIx::Regexp::Constant qw{ TOKEN_UNKNOWN }
print "An unknown token's class is TOKEN_UNKNOWN\n";
INHERITANCE
"PPIx::Regexp::Constant" is an Exporter.
"PPIx::Regexp::Constant" has no descendants.
DETAILS
This module defines manifest constants for use by the various
"PPIx::Regexp" modules. These constants are to be considered private to
the "PPIx::Regexp" system, and the author reserves the right to change
them without notice.
This module exports the following manifest constants:
@CARP_NOT
This global variable contains the names of all modules in the package.
ARRAY_REF
This is the result of "ref []".
CODE_REF
This is the result of "ref sub {}".
COOKIE_CLASS
The name of the cookie used to control the construction of character
classes.
This cookie is set in PPIx::Regexp::Token::Structure when the left
square bracket is encountered, and cleared in the same module when a
right square bracket is encountered.
COOKIE_LOOKAROUND_ASSERTION
The name of the cookie used to control the parsing of zero-width
assertions.
This cookie is set in PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Assertion, and it
persists until the end of the assertion.
COOKIE_QUANT
The name of the cookie used to control the construction of curly
bracketed quantifiers.
This cookie is set in PPIx::Regexp::Token::Structure when a left curly
bracket is encountered. It requests itself to be cleared on
encountering anything other than a literal comma, a literal digit, or
an interpolation, or if more than one comma is encountered. If it
survives until PPIx::Regexp::Token::Structure processes the right curly
bracket, it is cleared there.
COOKIE_QUOTE
The name of the cookie used to control the parsing of "\Q ... \E"
quoted literals.
This cookie is set in PPIx::Regexp::Token::Control when a "\Q" is
encountered, and it persists until the next "\E".
COOKIE_REGEX_SET
The name of the cookie used to control regular expression sets.
HASH_REF
This is the result of "ref {}".
LITERAL_LEFT_CURLY_ALLOWED
The Perl version at which allowed unescaped literal left curly brackets
were removed. This may make more sense if I mention that its value is
"undef".
LITERAL_LEFT_CURLY_REMOVED_PHASE_1
The Perl version at which the first phase of unescaped literal left
curly bracket removal took place. The value of this constant is
'5.025001'.
LITERAL_LEFT_CURLY_REMOVED_PHASE_2
The Perl version at which the second phase of unescaped literal left
curly bracket removal took place. The value of this constant is
"undef", but it will be assigned a value when the timing of the second
phase is known.
LITERAL_LEFT_CURLY_REMOVED_PHASE_3
The Perl version at which the third phase of unescaped literal left
curly bracket removal took place. This is the removal of curly brackets
after a left parenthesis. The value of this constant is "undef", but it
will be assigned a value when the timing of the second phase is known.
MINIMUM_PERL
The minimum version of Perl understood by this parser, as a float. It
is currently set to 5.000, since that is the minimum version of Perl
accessible to the author.
MODIFIER_GROUP_MATCH_SEMANTICS
The name of the PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier group used to control
match semantics.
MSG_PROHIBITED_BY_STRICT
An appropriate error message for an unknown entity created because
'strict' was in effect. This is rank ad-hocery, and more than usually
subject to being changed, without any notice whatsoever. Caveat user.
NODE_UNKNOWN
The name of the class that represents an unknown node. That is,
PPIx::Regexp::Node::Unknown.
RE_CAPTURE_NAME
A string representation of a regular expression that matches the name
of a named capture buffer.
REGEXP_REF
This is the result of "ref qr{}".
SCALAR_REF
This is the result of "ref \0".
STRUCTURE_UNKNOWN
The name of the class that represents an unknown structure. That is,
PPIx::Regexp::Structure::Unknown.
SUFFICIENT_UTF8_SUPPORT_FOR_WEIRD_DELIMITERS
A Boolean which is true if the running version of Perl has UTF-8
support sufficient for our purposes.
Currently that means 5.8.3 or greater, with the specific requirements
being "use open qw{ :std :encoding(utf-8) }", "/\p{Mark}/", and the
ability to parse things like "qr \N{U+FFFF}foo\N{U+FFFF}".
TOKEN_LITERAL
The name of the class that represents a literal token. That is,
PPIx::Regexp::Token::Literal.
TOKEN_UNKNOWN
The name of the class that represents the unknown token. That is,
PPIx::Regexp::Token::Unknown.
