AST Tools

For Users

Start with either a HeaderFile or SourceFile, along with at least one namespace.

Then keep building up the tree structure recursively. I recommend starting with ast_fragments and only implementing new combinations when necessary.

If you don’t think something is supported, I’d recommend starting with FromFileTemplate. If you need to insert an arbitrary string, you can pass it wrapped via Escape.

For Contributors

Every class should inherit from BaseAst

Future Extensions:

• Visitor, Editor patterns for viewing or building the tree

• Split out statements and expressions

• Split out constructs that can only be used in a header file, source file or both

• Split out constructs based on what scopes they can be used
