=head1 NAME

Text::Query::Build - Base class for query builders

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    package Text::Query::BuildMy;

    use Text::Query::Build;

    use vars qw(@ISA);

    @ISA = qw(Text::Query::Build);


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a virtual base class for query builders.

Query builders are called by the parser logic. A given set of functions is
provided by the builder to match a Boolean logic.
All the methods return a scalar corresponding to the code that performs
the specified options.

Parameters Q1 and Q2 are the same type of scalar as the return values.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item matchstring()

Return a string that represent the last built expression. Two identical expressions
should generate the same string. This is for testing purpose.

=back

=head1 CODE-GENERATION METHODS

=over 4

=item build_init()

Called before building the expression. A chance to initialize object data.

=item build_final_expression(Q1)

Does any final processing to generate code to match a top-level expression.
The return value is NOT necessarily of a type that can be passed to
the other code-generation methods.

=item build_expression(Q1,Q2)

Generate code to match C OR C

=item build_expression_finish(Q1)

Generate any code needed to enclose an expression.

=item build_conj(Q1,Q2,F)

Generate code needed to match C AND C.  F will be true if this is the first
time this method is called in a sequence of several conjunctions.

=item build_near(Q1,Q2)

Generate code needed to match C NEAR C.

=item build_concat(Q1,Q2)

Generate code needed to match C immediately followed by C.

=item build_negation(Q1)

Generate code needed to match NOT C.

=item build_literal(Q1)

Generate code to match C as a literal.

=item build_scope_start($scope)

Generate code to enter in the C<$scope> query context.

=item build_scope_end($scope,Q1)

Generate code needed to match C in the C<$scope> context.

=item build_mandatory(Q1)

Generate code to match C (think + in AltaVista syntax).

=item build_forbiden(Q1)

Generate code to match NOT C (think - in AltaVista syntax).
