Function Documentation

ecs_parse_digit()

FLECS_API const char * ecs_parse_digit	(	const char *	ptr,
		char *	token
	)

Parse digit.

This function will parse until the first non-digit character is found. The provided expression must contain at least one digit character.

Parameters

ptr	The expression to parse.
token	The output buffer.

Returns

Pointer to the first non-digit character.

ecs_parse_term()

FLECS_API char * ecs_parse_term	(	const ecs_world_t *	world,
		const char *	name,
		const char *	expr,
		const char *	ptr,
		ecs_term_t *	term_out
	)

Parse term in expression.

This operation parses a single term in an expression and returns a pointer to the next term expression.

If the returned pointer points to the 0-terminator, the expression is fully parsed. The function would typically be called in a while loop:

const char *ptr = expr; while (ptr[0] && (ptr = ecs_parse_term(world, name, expr, ptr, &term))) { }

The operation does not attempt to find entity ids from the names in the expression. Use the ecs_term_resolve_ids function to resolve the identifiers in the parsed term.

The returned term will in most cases contain allocated resources, which should freed (or used) by the application. To free the resources for a term, use the ecs_term_free function.

The parser accepts expressions in the legacy string format.

Parameters

world	The world.
name	The name of the expression (optional, improves error logs)
expr	The expression to parse (optional, improves error logs)
ptr	The pointer to the current term (must be in expr).
term_out	Out parameter for the term.

Returns

pointer to next term if successful, NULL if failed.

ecs_parse_token()

FLECS_API const char * ecs_parse_token	(	const char *	name,
		const char *	expr,
		const char *	ptr,
		char *	token_out,
		char	delim
	)

Parse a single token.

This function can be used as simple tokenizer by other parsers.

Parameters

name	of program (used for logging).
expr	pointer to token to parse.
ptr	pointer to first character to parse.
token_out	Parsed token (buffer should be ECS_MAX_TOKEN_SIZE large)

Returns

Pointer to the next token, or NULL if error occurred.

ecs_parse_ws()

FLECS_API const char * ecs_parse_ws

(

const char *

ptr

)

Skip whitespace characters.

This function skips whitespace characters. Does not skip newlines.

Parameters

ptr	Pointer to (potential) whitespaces to skip.

Returns

Pointer to the next non-whitespace character.

ecs_parse_ws_eol()

FLECS_API const char * ecs_parse_ws_eol

(

const char *

ptr

)

Skip whitespace and newline characters.

This function skips whitespace characters.

Parameters

ptr	Pointer to (potential) whitespaces to skip.

Returns

Pointer to the next non-whitespace character.
