Struct Lex 

pub struct Lex<'a> {
    pub searches: u32,
    /* private fields */
}

A monotonically advancing scan of one byte buffer.

Once a */ search fails, no later comment opener can have a closer, so remembering that result keeps malformed-input scanning linear.

Fields

searches: u32

*/ searches performed. At most one can fail.

Implementations

impl<'a> Lex<'a>

pub fn new(bytes: &'a [u8]) -> Self

pub fn skip_lexical_at(&mut self, i: usize) -> Option<usize>

If a string literal or comment starts at bytes[i], return the index just past it. Doubled apostrophes remain inside the literal.

pub fn skip_trivia(&mut self, i: usize) -> usize

Advance past whitespace and closed comments.
