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:

Code         Front;
Code         Back;
Token*       Token;
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.

<Front>...
<Back>

Attributes

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

Fields:

StringCached  Content;
Code          Prev;
Code          Next;
Code          Parent;
StringCached  Name;
CodeT         Type;

Serialization:

<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:

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

Serialization:

<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:

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:

// 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:

CodeComment InlineCmt;  // Only supported by forward declarations
Code        InitializerList;
CodeParam   Params;
Code        Body;
Code        Prev;
Code        Next;
Code        Parent;
CodeT       Type;

Serialization:

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

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

Define

Fields:

StringCached  Content;
Code          Prev;
Code          Next;
Code          Parent;
StringCached  Name;

#define <Name> <Content>

Code           Parent;
CodeT          Type;

Serialization:

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

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

CodeT          Type;
ModuleFlag     ModuleFlags;

Serialization:

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

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