| Ausführliche Beschreibung | JTB (Java Tree Builder) is a syntax tree builder and visitors generator to be
used in front of JavaCC (Java Compiler Compiler). It takes a JavaCC grammar
file as input (usually a ".jtb" file) and automatically generates the
following:
* a set of syntax tree classes based on the productions in the grammar,
utilizing the Visitor design pattern;
* four interfaces: IVoidVisitor, IVoidArguVisitor, IRetVisitor,
IRetArguVisitor;
* four depth-first visitors: DepthFirstVoidVisitor, DepthFirstVoidArguVisitor,
DepthFirstRetVisitor, DepthFirstREtArguVisitor, whose default methods simply
visit the children of the current node;
* a JavaCC grammar ".jj" file (jtb.out.jj by default), with the proper
annotations to build the syntax tree during parsing (which then must be
compiled with JavaCC).
.
New visitors, which subclass any generated one, can then override the default
methods and perform various operations on and manipulate the generated syntax
tree.
