AST Types Documentation
While the Readme for docs covers the data layout per AST, this will focus on the AST types available, and their nuances.
Body
These are containers representing a scope body of a definition that can be of the following CodeType
type:
- Class_Body
- Enum_Body
- Export_Body
- Extern_Linkage_Body
- Function_Body
- Global_Body
- Namespace_Body
- Struct_Body
- Union_Body
Fields:
StrCached Name;
Code Front;
Code Back;
Token* Tok;
Code Parent;
CodeType 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 CodeType type for the type of definition 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:
StrCached Content;
StrCached Name;
Code Prev;
Code Next;
Token* Tok;
Code Parent;
CodeType 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:
StrCached Content;
StrCached Name;
Code Prev;
Code Next;
Token* Tok;
Code Parent;
CodeType Type;
Serialization:
<Content>
The parser will preserve 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;
StrCached Name;
CodeType Prev;
CodeType Next;
Token* Tok;
Code Parent;
CodeType 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 are assumed to be interfaces and are given public acess specifiers.
Constructor
Fields:
CodeComment InlineCmt; // Only supported by forward declarations
Code InitializerList;
CodeParams Params;
Code Body;
StrCached Name;
Code Prev;
Code Next;

Serialization:
// 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

CodeType Type;
Serialization:
// Destructor_Fwd
<Specs> ~<Parent->Name>( <Params> ) <Specs>; <InlineCmt>
// Destructor
<Specs> ~<Parent->Name>( <Params> ) <Specs>
{

}
// Destructor Source Implementation
<Specs> <Parent>::~<Parent->Name>( <Params> ) <Specs>
{
<Body>
}
Enum
Fields:
CodeComment InlineCmt;
CodeAttributes Attributes;
CodeType UnderlyingType;
Code UnderlyingTypeMacro;
CodeBody Body;
Code Prev;
Code Next;
Token* Tok;
Code Parent;
StrCached Name;
CodeType Type;
ModuleFlag ModuleFlags;
UnderlyingTypeMacro is a macro the library natively supports: enum_underlying(type)
that is meant to behave as a wrapper for underlying type assignment.
The enum_underlying_sig
is a Str
global var that can be set which will be defined within PreprocessorDefines
and used in parser_parse_enum
to identify a valid macro.
Serialization:
// Enum_Fwd
<ModuleFlags> enum class <Name> : <UnderlyingType> or <UnderlyingTypeMacro> ; <InlineCmt>
// Enum
<ModuleFlags> <enum or enum class> <Name> : <UnderlyingType> or <UnderlyingTypeMacro>
{
<Body>
};
