IIntStreamSeek Method

Set the input cursor to the position indicated by index. This is normally used to seek ahead in the input stream. No buffering is required to do this unless you know your stream will use seek to move backwards such as when backtracking.

Namespace:  Stimulsoft.Data.Expressions.Antlr.Runtime
Assembly:  Stimulsoft.Data (in Stimulsoft.Data.dll) Version: 2019.3.1.0
Syntax
Copy
void Seek(
	int index
)

Parameters

index
Type: SystemInt32

[Missing <param name="index"/> documentation for "M:Stimulsoft.Data.Expressions.Antlr.Runtime.IIntStream.Seek(System.Int32)"]

Remarks
This is different from rewind in its multi-directional requirement and in that its argument is strictly an input cursor (index). For char streams, seeking forward must update the stream state such as line number. For seeking backwards, you will be presumably backtracking using the mark/rewind mechanism that restores state and so this method does not need to update state when seeking backwards. Currently, this method is only used for efficient backtracking using memoization, but in the future it may be used for incremental parsing. The index is 0..n-1. A seek to position i means that LA(1) will return the ith symbol. So, seeking to 0 means LA(1) will return the first element in the stream.
