Re: Questionable whether font-shorthand grammar LL(1)

2009-09-30 Thread Vincent Hennebert
Thanks everyone for your parser suggestions. I believe we should be able to do without one for the font shorthand, but this is definitely something to keep in mind if we want to improve the parsing of other properties. I’m starting to realise that the most difficult part is probably not so much

Hi Jonathan, Jonathan Levinson wrote: Hi Vincent, Excellent ideas! The diagram you drew is extremely useful! If the font shorthand sub-language has a grammar that is regular then it also has a grammar that is LL(1). So recursive descent parsing will work, if there is a regular

Hi Vincent, I see. I had in mind to use OpenTypeDataInputStream as the common interface. It actually makes sense to use ImageInputStream instead. Simpler and just as flexible. That will add a direct dependency on a class in the javax.imageio package, but this is not a problem as it is part

Hi Max, First, I will respect every code style of FOP. Its just a matter of discussion. Really? That means commenting every public method even simple Getters and Setters? Yes. Simple Getter and Setters are the only place where you can publicly document private variables. (in most cases,

Hi Vincent, Speaking of that, there’s a rule that I would suggest to disable: the HiddenFieldCheck. I don’t really see its benefit. It forces to find somewhat artificial names for variables, where the field name is exactly what I want. Sometimes a method doesn’t have a name following the

Hi Vincent, Should the rule be disabled because of that? Having proper javadoc on at least public methods is very important. OTOH, this is actually not something Checkstyle can verify. How many methods in the code base have totally useless comments that are there just to avoid a Checkstyle

I agree - in this case - tokenizing - lexical analysis - is more difficult than parsing. Best Regards, Jonathan -Original Message- From: Vincent Hennebert [mailto:vhenneb...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 6:25 AM To: fop-dev@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re:
