GoLanguageFrontend

class GoLanguageFrontend(language: Language<GoLanguageFrontend>, ctx: TranslationContext) : LanguageFrontend<GoStandardLibrary.Ast.Node, GoStandardLibrary.Ast.Expr>

A language frontend for the GoLanguage. It makes use the internal go/ast package of the Go runtime to parse the AST of a Go program. We make use of JNA to call a dynamic library which exports C function wrappers around the Go API. This is needed because we cannot directly export Go structs and pointers to C.

Types

object Companion

DeclarationContext

class DeclarationContext

This helper class contains values needed to properly decide in which state const declaration / specifications are in.

Properties

config

val config: TranslationConfiguration

ctx

override var ctx: TranslationContext

currentFile

var currentFile: GoStandardLibrary.Ast.File?

currentTU

var currentTU: TranslationUnitDeclaration?

declarationHandler

val declarationHandler: DeclarationHandler

declCtx

var declCtx: GoLanguageFrontend.DeclarationContext

The current DeclarationContext. This is somewhat of a workaround since we cannot properly communicate state between different handlers. However, because within a LanguageFrontend, everything is parsed sequentially according to AST order, we can safely use this context here.

expressionHandler

var expressionHandler: ExpressionHandler

isDependency

var isDependency: Boolean
