API¶
- ::pt::util error2readable error text
- This command takes the structured form of a syntax error as thrown
by parser runtimes and the input text to the parser which caused
that error and returns a string describing the error in a human-readable
form.
The input text is required to convert the character position of the error into a more readable line/column format, and to provide excerpts of the input around the error position.
- ::pt::util error2position error text
- This command takes the structured form of a syntax error as thrown by parser runtimes and the input text to the parser which caused that error and returns a 2-element list containing the line number and column index for the error's character position in the input, in this order.
- ::pt::util error2text error
- This command takes the structured form of a syntax error as thrown by parser runtimes and returns a list of strings, each describing a possible expected input in a human-readable form.
