object Position
[source: scala/io/Position.scala]
object Position
extends AnyRef

The object Position provides convenience methods to encode line and column number in one single integer. The encode line (column) numbers range from 0 to LINE_MASK (COLUMN_MASK), where 0 indicates that the line (column) is the undefined and 1 represents the first line (column). Line (Column) numbers greater than LINE_MASK (COLUMN_MASK) are replaced by LINE_MASK (COLUMN_MASK). Furthermore, if the encoded line number is LINE_MASK, the column number is always set to 0.

The following properties hold:

Value Summary
final val COLUMN_BITS : Int = 11
