USING IDSWITCH GENERATOR TOOL

Usage:
java org.mozilla.javascript.tools.idswitch.Main <SINGLE-JAVA-SOURCE>

The main purpose of this utility is to generate Java code to map strings to some ids that can be used, for example, in a switch statement.

The utility scans the input file for lines with the following structure:

// #string_id_map#
... <DEFINITION AREA>
// #generated#
...<GENERATED AREA>
// #/generated#
... <DEFINITION AREA>
// #/string_id_map#

Then every line in <DEFINITION AREA> is scanned for the pattern:
^[ \t]*Id_([0-9a-zA-Z_]+)[ \t]*=.*$

Each such patterns adds a mapping form string $1 to Id_\$ or if the line also contains the pattern //\s*#string=\s*([^#]+)\s*#, then it adds map of $1 in this pattern to Id_\$

After that lines in <GENERATED AREA> are replaced by a code block that sets variable "id" to Id_<name> if variable "s" equals <name> (or value defined by //#string=...# construction in the line with Id_<name>) or 0 otherwise.
If the new code for <GENERATED AREA> is identical to old one, the file is not touched otherwise <GENERATED AREA> is overwritten by the new code and a time stamp is appended after #generated#.

For example, if file x.java contains:

// #string_id_map#

    private int getId(String s) {
        int id;
// #generated# Initial version
// #/generated#
        return id;
    }

    private static final int
        Id_x       = 1,
        Id_y       = 2,
        Id_hello   = 3, // #string = Hello, World! #
        Id_symbols = 4, // #string=<<*Symbols*>>#
        Id_nice    = 5,
        Id_for     = 6,
        Id_bar     = 7;

// #/string_id_map#

....

    private double getFieldValue(String s) {

// #string_id_map#
    final int
        Id_field1 = 1,
        Id_field2 = 2,
        Id_field3 = 3,
        Id_one_more_field = 4; // #string = ONE%MORE%FIELD#

        int id;
// #generated# Initial version
// #/generated#
// #/string_id_map#
        switch (id) {
            case Id_field1: return field1;
            case Id_field2: return field2;
            case Id_field3: return field3;
            case Id_one_more_field: return one_more_field;
        }
        throw new RuntimeException("No such field");
    }


then invocation

java org.mozilla.javascript.tools.idswitch.Main x.java

would replace that by a code fragment similar to:

// #string_id_map#

    private int getId(String s) {
        int id;
// #generated# Last update: 2001-05-25 18:00:24 GMT+02:00
        L0: { id = 0; String X = null; int c;
            L: switch (s.length()) {
            case 1: c=s.charAt(0);
                if (c=='x') { id=Id_x; break L0; }
                else if (c=='y') { id=Id_y; break L0; }
                break L;
            case 3: c=s.charAt(0);
                if (c=='b') { if (s.charAt(2)=='r' && s.charAt(1)=='a') {id=Id_bar; break L0;} }
                else if (c=='f') { if (s.charAt(2)=='r' && s.charAt(1)=='o') {id=Id_for; break L0;} }
                break L;
            case 4: X="nice";id=Id_nice; break L;
            case 13: c=s.charAt(0);
                if (c=='<') { X="<<*Symbols*>>";id=Id_symbols; }
                else if (c=='H') { X="Hello, World!";id=Id_hello; }
                break L;
            }
            if (X!=null && X!=s && !X.equals(s)) id = 0;
        }
// #/generated#
        return id;
    }

    private static final int

        int id;

        L0: { id = 0; String X = null; int c;
            int s_length = s.length();
            if (s_length==6) {
