Class Relax

java.lang.Object
  org.extex.interpreter.type.AbstractCode
      org.extex.unit.base.Relax

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Code

public class Relax
extends AbstractCode

This class provides an implementation for the primitive \relax.

The Primitive \relax

This primitive simply does nothing. It acts as a no-op for the TeX macro language. \relax is not even expandable. in certain circumstances it might be treated as if it where expandable and the expansion is empty.

\relax sometimes acts as terminating token. For instance when a number is parsed \relax terminates the parsing even if the following token is a digit.

Syntax

The formal description of this primitive is the following:

    ⟨relax⟩
      → \relax  

Examples

    \relax  

    \the\count123\relax456

Constructor Detail

Relax

public Relax(CodeToken token)

Creates a new object.

Parameters:

token - the initial token for the primitive

Method Detail

execute

public void execute(Flags prefix,
                    Context context,
                    TokenSource source,
                    Typesetter typesetter)
             throws HelpingException,
                    TypesetterException

This method takes the first token and executes it. The result is placed on the stack. This operation might have side effects. To execute a token it might be necessary to consume further tokens.

Specified by:

execute in interface Code

Overrides:

execute in class AbstractCode

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix controlling the execution

context - the interpreter context

source - the token source

typesetter - the typesetter

Throws:

HelpingException - in case of an error

TypesetterException - in case of an error in the typesetter

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

All instances of this class are treated as equal. This is needed for the comparison (\ifx) of tokens defined via \csname.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

See Also:

Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

All instances of this class are treated as equal. Thus all receive the same hash code.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Object.hashCode()
