Field Detail

### fSymbolTable

    protected SymbolTable fSymbolTable

  Main symbol table.

Constructor Detail

### ShadowedSymbolTable

    public ShadowedSymbolTable(SymbolTable symbolTable)

  Constructs a shadow of the specified symbol table.

Method Detail

### addSymbol

    public java.lang.String addSymbol(java.lang.String symbol)

  Adds the specified symbol to the symbol table and returns a reference to the unique symbol. If the symbol already exists, the previous symbol reference is returned instead, in order guarantee that symbol references remain unique.
  Overrides:
    `addSymbol` in class `SymbolTable`
  Parameters:
    `symbol` - The new symbol.

### addSymbol

    public java.lang.String addSymbol(char[] buffer,
                                      int offset,
                                      int length)

  Adds the specified symbol to the symbol table and returns a reference to the unique symbol. If the symbol already exists, the previous symbol reference is returned instead, in order guarantee that symbol references remain unique.
  Overrides:
    `addSymbol` in class `SymbolTable`
  Parameters:
    `buffer` - The buffer containing the new symbol.
    `offset` - The offset into the buffer of the new symbol.
    `length` - The length of the new symbol in the buffer.

### hash

    public int hash(java.lang.String symbol)

  Returns a hashcode value for the specified symbol. The value returned by this method must be identical to the value returned by the `hash(char[],int,int)` method when called with the character array that comprises the symbol string.
  Overrides:
    `hash` in class `SymbolTable`
  Parameters:
    `symbol` - The symbol to hash.

### hash

    public int hash(char[] buffer,
                    int offset,
                    int length)

  Returns a hashcode value for the specified symbol information. The value returned by this method must be identical to the value returned by the `hash(String)` method when called with the string object created from the symbol information.
  Overrides:
    `hash` in class `SymbolTable`
  Parameters:
    `buffer` - The character buffer containing the symbol.
    `offset` - The offset into the character buffer of the start of the symbol.
    `length` - The length of the symbol.
