Errors that can be generated while lexing.

All lexing errors have line/colum/position information as well as a LexError indicating what kind of error happened while lexing.

Variants

DanglingBlockComment

A dangling block comment was found with an unbalanced (; which was never terminated in the file.

Unexpected(char)

An unexpected character was encountered when generally parsing and looking for something else.

InvalidStringElement(char)

An invalid char in a string literal was found.

InvalidStringEscape(char)

An invalid string escape letter was found (the thing after the \ in string literals)

InvalidHexDigit(char)

An invalid hexadecimal digit was found.

InvalidDigit(char)

An invalid base-10 digit was found.

Expected

Parsing expected wanted but ended up finding found instead where the two characters aren’t the same.

Fields of Expected

wanted: char

The character that was expected to be found

found: char

The character that was actually found

UnexpectedEof

We needed to parse more but EOF (or end of the string) was encountered.

NumberTooBig

A number failed to parse because it was too big to fit within the target type.

InvalidUnicodeValue(u32)

An invalid unicode value was found in a \u{...} escape in a string, only valid unicode scalars can be escaped that way.

LoneUnderscore

A lone underscore was found when parsing a number, since underscores should always be preceded and succeeded with a digit of some form.
