Package asteroid

This package contains:

• Classes to implement a local AST transformation
• Classes to access builder to create: nodes, expressions, statements
• Classes to make it easier to access AST node values
• Classes to check AST nodes

Most of the times you can access all these functionalities through the A class

Class Summary

Class	Description
A	Entry point to look up functions and utilities to work with nodes, expressions, statements, node utils...etc
AbstractGlobalTransformation	This class applies all transformers provided by the method getTransformers in order to all class nodes present in a given source unit instance.
AbstractLocalTransformation<T extends Annotation,S extends AnnotatedNode>	This class is an abstraction to process certain nodes annotated with a specific annotation node type Types indicate wich nodes are affected: Lets say we wanted to build a transformation to transform methods annotated by @MyAnnotation:
Criterias	This class contains out-of-the-box criterias, they are used to help out finding specific nodes.
Expressions	This class hides the different implementations to create expressions through the Groovy api to provide a unified an easier way to create expressions when coding an AST transformation.
Modifiers	This class acts as a proxy to access modifier codes found at Opcodes.
Nodes	This class provides access to different builders for creating AST nodes.
Phase.GLOBAL	Compilation phases available for global transformations: SEMANTIC_ANALYSIS CANONICALIZATION INSTRUCTION_SELECTION CLASS_GENERATION OUTPUT FINALIZATION
Phase.LOCAL	Compilation phases available for local transformations.
Statements	This class hides the different implementations to create expressions through the Groovy api to provide a unified an easier way to create statements when coding an AST transformation.
Utils	This class gathers together a bunch of util functions to deal with AST transformations.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
Local.TO	Targets available to apply a specific transformation

Annotation Types Summary

Annotation Type	Description
Local	Marks a given annotation as a local AST transformation marker
Phase	Compilation is required when declaring any AbstractLocalTransformation or AbstractGlobalTransformation.
