Interface BraceMatcherTerminationAspect

public interface BraceMatcherTerminationAspect

In some cases brace matching should be terminated to prevent search for a paired brace beyond some element types. For example, in a sequence like '{)}' the closing brace '}' does not belong to the same structural level as the opening '{' brace because of enclosing ')' parenthesis. Therefore we should not treat '}' as a pair brace for '{' before ')'.

In the described case a class implementing PairedBraceMatcher may also implement this aspect to perform its own specific checks.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	shouldStopMatch(boolean forward, IElementType braceType, HighlighterIterator iterator) Checks if a search for matching brace should be stopped with negative result if an element having the given type is encountered.

Method Detail

shouldStopMatch

boolean shouldStopMatch(boolean forward,
                        IElementType braceType,
                        HighlighterIterator iterator)

Checks if a search for matching brace should be stopped with negative result if an element having the given type is encountered.

Parameters:

forward - The forward search flag.

braceType - The type of the brace for which an opposite brace is searched for.

iterator - The iterator at the current position to be checked.

Returns:

True if the search should be stopped or false if it should continue.
