Class SiemensLoopSyntax

Namespace
Hi.NcParsers.EvaluationSyntaxs.Siemens
Assembly
HiMech.dll

Resolves the four Siemens loop constructs against one shared frame stack — WHILE ... ENDWHILE, FOR ... ENDFOR, REPEAT ... UNTIL (the label-less post-test loop) and LOOP ... ENDLOOP — the FanucWhileDoSyntax template (frames-in-JSON + ModalCarry tracked key + forward scan to the terminator + back-jump to the recorded entry line), adapted to constructs that carry no LoopId: frames stack in nesting order on the block-root SiemensLoopFrames section, and every terminator validates that the innermost frame carries its own construct Kind and file. A single shared stack is what makes mixed-construct nesting (a FOR inside a WHILE inside a LOOP) pair correctly.

  • WHILE — pre-test: truthy pushes a frame (first arrival) and falls through; falsy/unresolved pops its own frame and forward-jumps past the matching ENDWHILE (depth-counted). ENDWHILE back-jumps unconditionally; the WHILE line re-evaluates.
  • FOR — counting: first arrival resolves the bounds once (Sinumerik semantics), assigns the loop variable by lifting into Parsing.Assignments (the reader syntaxes downstream persist it exactly as a written assignment), and pushes a frame carrying Var/End/Value; each re-arrival increments Value until it exceeds End, then pops and jumps past ENDFOR.
  • REPEAT/UNTIL — post-test: REPEAT pushes and always falls through; UNTIL exits on truthy (pop), warns and exits on unresolved, back-jumps to the REPEAT line on falsy.
  • LOOP/ENDLOOP — endless: ENDLOOP back-jumps while the SiemensLoopIterationDependency watchdog allows; the watchdog is a hard requirement here (no exit condition exists), so a missing dependency suppresses the jump with a configuration error instead of hanging the pipeline.

Back-jump counting happens at the back-jump step only (a loop whose condition is false from the outset consumes zero iterations), keyed (FileName, BeginLineNo) on the watchdog. All scans use the anchored LabelScanUtil overload from the host line — never the whole-file first match, which would pair a terminator with an earlier sibling construct of the same kind.

Pipeline placement: Evaluation bundle control-flow group, after VariableEvaluatorSyntax (conditions and bounds substituted) and before the variable readers (the FOR lift must reach them on the same block).

Known limitation — stack pairing vs lexical pairing. Real Sinumerik pairs loop constructs lexically at block preparation; this syntax pairs them dynamically on the carried frame stack. A GOTOF/GOTOB that leaves a loop body strands that loop's frame (only the FOR head detects and drops a stale frame, via AdvancePending), so a jump from an inner loop into an enclosing loop's body can mispair the enclosing terminator with the stale inner frame. Sinumerik itself forbids jumping into control structures; all such shapes stay bounded here by the watchdog and surface loud diagnostics. Scan probes also mirror the Fanuc convention of not replaying BlockSkipSyntax — a /-prefixed terminator is invisible to the exit scans.

Constructors

SiemensLoopSyntax()

Parameterless instance (no XML state).

public SiemensLoopSyntax()

SiemensLoopSyntax(XElement)

XML ctor (no child elements; reserved for forward compatibility).

public SiemensLoopSyntax(XElement src)

Parameters

src XElement

Root element named XName.

Properties

Name

Syntax kind name (typically the concrete type name).

public string Name { get; }

Property Value

string

XName

XML element name used to register this syntax with XFactory.

public static string XName { get; }

Property Value

string

Methods

Build(LazyLinkedListNode<SyntaxPiece>, List<INcDependency>, NcDiagnosticProgress)

Build syntax arrangement into the syntaxPieceNode in-place.

public void Build(LazyLinkedListNode<SyntaxPiece> syntaxPieceNode, List<INcDependency> ncDependencyList, NcDiagnosticProgress ncDiagnosticProgress)

Parameters

syntaxPieceNode LazyLinkedListNode<SyntaxPiece>
ncDependencyList List<INcDependency>
ncDiagnosticProgress NcDiagnosticProgress

MakeXmlSource(string, string, bool)

Creates an XML representation of the object. This method may also generate additional resources such as related files.

public XElement MakeXmlSource(string baseDirectory, string relFile, bool exhibitionOnly)

Parameters

baseDirectory string

The base directory for resolving relative paths

relFile string

The relative file path for the XML source

exhibitionOnly bool

if true, the extended file creation is suppressed.

Returns

XElement

An XML element representing the object's state

Remarks

For the demand of easy moving source folder (especially project folder) without configuration file path corruption, the relative file path is applied. The baseDirectory is typically the folder at the nearest configuration file folder. Since the folder can be moving with the configuration file.

Reg(XFactory)

Registers this type's deserializer with the given XFactory (or Default when factory is null). Idempotent.

public static void Reg(XFactory factory = null)

Parameters

factory XFactory
