Struct VariableParser 

pub struct VariableParser { /* private fields */ }

Parser for Perl debugger variable output.

This parser converts text output from the Perl debugger’s variable inspection commands into structured PerlValue representations.

Implementations

impl VariableParser

pub fn new() -> Self

Creates a new variable parser with default settings.

pub fn with_max_depth(self, depth: usize) -> Self

Sets the maximum nesting depth for parsing.

pub fn parse_assignment( &self, line: &str, ) -> Result<(String, PerlValue), VariableParseError>

Parses a variable assignment line from debugger output.

Arguments

• line - A line like “$var = value” or “@arr = (1, 2, 3)”

Returns

A tuple of (variable name, parsed value) if successful.

Errors

Returns a VariableParseError if the line cannot be parsed.

pub fn parse_value( &self, text: &str, depth: usize, ) -> Result<PerlValue, VariableParseError>

Parses a value string from debugger output.

Arguments

• text - The value portion of debugger output

Returns

The parsed PerlValue.

Errors

Returns a VariableParseError if the value cannot be parsed.

pub fn parse_variables(&self, output: &str) -> Vec<(String, PerlValue)>

Parses multiple variable lines (e.g., from ‘V’ command output).

Arguments

• output - Multi-line debugger output

Returns

A vector of (name, value) pairs for successfully parsed variables.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for VariableParser

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for VariableParser

fn default() -> VariableParser

Returns the “default value” for a type.
