RewriteRuleSubtreeStream Methods

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Serves as the default hash function.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Do the work of getting the next element, making sure that it's a tree node or subtree. Deal with the optimization of single- element list versus list of size > 1. Throw an exception if the stream is empty or we're out of elements and size>1. protected so you can override in a subclass if necessary.

Treat next element as a single node even if it's a subtree. This is used instead of next() when the result has to be a tree root node. Also prevents us from duplicating recently-added children; e.g., ^(type ID)+ adds ID to type and then 2nd iteration must dup the type node, but ID has been added.

Return the next element in the stream. If out of elements, throw an exception unless size()==1. If size is 1, then return elements[0]. Return a duplicate node/subtree if stream is out of elements and size==1. If we've already used the element, dup (dirty bit set).

Reset the condition of this stream so that it appears we have not consumed any of its elements. Elements themselves are untouched. Once we reset the stream, any future use will need duplicates. Set the dirty bit.

Returns a string that represents the current object.

Ensure stream emits trees; tokens must be converted to AST nodes. AST nodes can be passed through unmolested.
