Source

Parser is responsible for parsing a list of tokens into the abstract syntax tree. At this point the CompilationUnit, Usings, and TypeDefs are already populated by the ScanForUsingAndTypes step.

ProtectionMask

const static Int ProtectionMask := ...

err

virtual override CompilerErr err(Str msg, Loc? loc := null)

make

new make(Compiler compiler, CompilationUnit unit, ClosureExpr[] closures)

Source

Construct the parser for the specified compilation unit.

Top level parse a compilation unit:
