Class DescendantTokenCheck

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Configurable, Contextualizable
    public class DescendantTokenCheck
extends AbstractCheck
    Checks for restricted tokens beneath other tokens.

    WARNING: This is a very powerful and flexible check, but, at the same time, it is low-level and very implementation-dependent because its results depend on the grammar we use to build abstract syntax trees. Thus, we recommend using other checks when they provide the desired functionality. Essentially, this check just works on the level of an abstract syntax tree and knows nothing about language structures.

      • getAcceptableTokens

        public int[] getAcceptableTokens()
        Description copied from class: AbstractCheck

        Specified by:
        getAcceptableTokens in class AbstractCheck
        Returns:
        the token set this check is designed for.
