# AST Types Documentation

While the Readme for docs covers the data layout per AST, this will focus on the AST types avaialble, and their nuances.

## Body

These are containers representing a scope body of a definition that can be of the following `ECode` type:

* Class_Body
* Enum_Body
* Export_Body
* Extern_Linkage_Body
* Function_Body
* Global_Body
* Namespace_Body
* Struct_Body
* Union_Body

Fields:

```cpp
Code           Front;
Code           Back;
parser::Token* Tok;
Code           Parent;
StringCached   Name;
CodeT          Type;
s32            NumEntries;
```

The `Front` member represents the start of the link list and `Back` the end.
NumEntries is the number of entries in the body.

Parent should have a compatible ECode type for the type of defintion used.

Serialization:

Will output only the entries, the braces are handled by the parent.

```cpp
<Front>...
<Back>
```

## Attributes

Represent standard or vendor specific C/C++ attributes.

Fields:

```cpp
StringCached   Content;
Code           Prev;
Code           Next;
parser::Token* Tok;
Code           Parent;
StringCached   Name;
CodeT          Type;
```

Serialization:

```cpp
<Content>
```

While the parser supports the `__declspec` and `__attribute__` syntax, the upfront constructor ( def_attributes ) must have the user specify the entire attribute, including the `[[]]`, `__declspec` or `__attribute__` parts.

## Comment

Stores a comment.

Fields:

```cpp
StringCached   Content;
Code           Prev;
Code           Next;
parser::Token* Tok;
Code           Parent;
StringCached   Name;
CodeT          Type;
```

Serialization:

```cpp
<Content>
```

The parser will perserve comments found if residing with a body or in accepted inline-to-definition locations.
Otherwise they will be skipped by the TokArray::__eat and TokArray::current( skip foramtting enabled ) functions.

The upfront constructor: `def_comment` expects to recieve a comment without the `//` or `/* */` parts. It will add them during construction.

## Class & Struct

Fields:

```cpp
CodeComment    InlineCmt;  // Only supported by forward declarations
CodeAttributes Attributes;
CodeType       ParentType;
CodeBody       Body;
CodeType       Prev;       // Used to store references to interfaces
CodeType       Next;       // Used to store references to interfaces
parser::Token* Tok;
Code           Parent;
StringCached   Name;
CodeT          Type;
ModuleFlag     ModuleFlags;
AccessSpec     ParentAccess;
```

Serialization:

```cpp
// Class_Fwd
<ModuleFlags> <class/struct> <Name>; <InlineCmt>

// Class
<ModuleFlags> <class/struct> <Attributes> <Name> : <ParentAccess> <ParentType>, public <ParentType->Next>, ... <InlineCmt>
{
    <Body>
};
```

You'll notice that only one parent type is supported only with parent access. This library only supports single inheritance, the rest must be done through interfaces.

## Constructor

Fields:

```cpp
CodeComment    InlineCmt;  // Only supported by forward declarations
Code           InitializerList;
CodeParam      Params;
Code           Body;
Code           Prev;
Code           Next;
parser::Token* Tok;
Code           Parent;
StringCached   Name;
CodeT          Type;
```

Serialization:

```cpp
// Constructor_Fwd
<Specs> <Parent->Name>( <Params> ); <InlineCmt>

// Constructor
<Specs> <Parent->Name>( <Params> ) <InlineCmt>
    : <InitializerList>
{
    <Body>
}

// Constructor Source Implementation
<Specs> <Parent>::~<Parent->Name>( <Params> ) <Specs>
{
    <Body>
}
```

## Define

Fields:

```cpp
StringCached   Content;
Code           Prev;
Code           Next;
parser::Token* Tok;
Code           Parent;
StringCached   Name;
CodeT          Type;
```

Serialization:

```cpp
#define <Name> <Content>
```

## Destructor

```cpp

Code           Next;
parser::Token* Tok;
Code           Parent;
StringCached   Name;
CodeT          Type;
```

Serialization:

```cpp
// Destructor_Fwd
<Specs> ~<Parent->Name>( <Params> ) <Specs>; <InlineCmt>

// Destructor
<Specs> ~<Parent->Name>( <Params> ) <Specs>
{
    <Body>
}

// Destructor Source Implementation

{
    <Body>
}
```

parser::Token* Tok;
Code           Parent;
StringCached   Name;
CodeT          Type;
ModuleFlag     ModuleFlags;
```

Serialization:

```cpp
// Enum_Fwd
<ModuleFlags> enum class <Name> : <UnderlyingType>; <InlineCmt>

// Enum
<ModuleFlags> <enum or enum class> <Name> : <UnderlyingType>
{
    <Body>
};
```

Reorganization of parser, refactor of parse_type( bool* ) and progression of parser docs Wanted to make parser implementation easier to sift through, so I emphasized alphabetical order more. Since I couldn't just strip whitespace from typenames I decided to make the parse_type more aware of the typename's components if it was a function signature. This ofc lead to the dark & damp hell that is parsing typenames. Also made initial implementation to support parsing decltype within a typename signature.. The test failure for the singleheader is still a thing, these changes have not addressed that. 2023-09-04 22:44:04 -07:00			`CodeReturnType ReturnType;`
