Farkle

Nonterminal Type

Namespace: Farkle.Builder.Untyped
Assembly: Farkle.dll
Base Type: obj
All Interfaces: DesigntimeFarkle

A nonterminal that does not have an associated return type.

This type is easier to work with if you want to just define a grammar as you would do in GOLD Parser. Because it only implements the untyped DesigntimeFarkle interface, it can only be Appended but not Extended in production builders. Overall, it is a normal designtime Farkle.

User code must not inherit from this class, or an exception might be thrown.
