Class AVM

java.lang.Object
org.sentrysoftware.jawk.backend.AVM
All Implemented Interfaces:
AwkInterpreter, VariableManager
public class AVM extends Object implements AwkInterpreter, VariableManager
The Jawk interpreter.

It takes tuples constructed by the intermediate step and executes each tuple in accordance to their instruction semantics. The tuples correspond to the Awk script compiled by the parser. The interpreter consists of an instruction processor (interpreter), a runtime stack, and machinery to support the instruction set contained within the tuples.

The interpreter runs completely independent of the frontend/intermediate step. In fact, an intermediate file produced by Jawk is sufficient to execute on this interpreter. The binding data-structure is the AwkSettings, which can contain options pertinent to the interpreter. For example, the interpreter must know about the -v command line argument values, as well as the file/variable list parameter values (ARGC/ARGV) after the script on the command line. However, if programmatic access to the AVM is required, meaningful AwkSettings are not required.

Semantic analysis has occurred prior to execution of the interpreter. Therefore, the interpreter throws AwkRuntimeExceptions upon most errors/conditions. It can also throw a java.lang.Error if an interpreter error is encountered.

    • AVM

      public AVM()
      Construct the interpreter.

      Provided to allow programmatic construction of the interpreter outside of the framework which is used by Jawk.

    • AVM

      public AVM(AwkSettings parameters, Map<String,JawkExtension> extensions)
      Construct the interpreter, accepting parameters which may have been set on the command-line arguments to the JVM.
      Parameters:
      parameters - The parameters affecting the behavior of the interpreter.
      extensions - Map of the extensions to load

  • Method Details

    • interpret

      public void interpret(AwkTuples tuples) throws ExitException, IOException
      Traverse the tuples, interpreting tuple opcodes and arguments and acting on them accordingly. Traverse the tuples, executing their associated opcodes to provide an execution platform for Jawk scripts.
      Specified by:
      interpret in interface AwkInterpreter
      Parameters:
      tuples - The tuples to compile.
      Throws:
      IOException - in case of I/O problems (with getline typically)
      ExitException - indicates that the interpreter would like the application to exit.
