parse
open fun parse(inputStream: InputStream, charset: Charset = Charsets.UTF_8, considerRange: Boolean = true, measureLexingTime: Boolean = false, source: Source? = null): ParsingResult<R>
Parses source code, returning a result that includes an AST and a collection of parse issues (errors, warnings). The parsing is done in accordance to the StarLasu methodology i.e. a first-stage parser builds a parse tree which is then mapped onto a higher-level tree called the AST.
Parameters
inputStream
the source code.
charset
the character set in which the input is encoded.
considerPosition
if true (the default), parsed AST nodes record their position in the input text.
measureLexingTime
if true, the result will include a measurement of the time spent in lexing i.e. breaking the input stream into tokens.
