Class TreePrinter

java.lang.Object

javax.annotation.processing.AbstractProcessor

org.checkerframework.javacutil.AbstractTypeProcessor

org.checkerframework.common.util.debug.TreePrinter

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.annotation.processing.Processor

@SupportedAnnotationTypes(value="*")
 @SupportedSourceVersion(value=RELEASE_8)
public class TreePrinter
extends AbstractTypeProcessor

A utility class for pretty-printing the AST of a program.

The class is actually an annotation processor; in order to use it, invoke the compiler on the source file(s) for which you wish to view the AST of the program. You may also wish to use the -proc:only javac option to stop compilation after annotation processing. (But, in general -proc:only causes type annotation processors not to be run.)

A simple main method is also provided. Put jsr308-all.jar on the bootclasspath and you can invoke this tool as:

java org.checkerframework.common.util.debug.TreePrinter *.java

TODO: is there an environment variable for the bootclasspath?

The visitor simply uses the javac Pretty visitor to output a nicely formatted version of the AST.

TODO: I couldn't find a way to display the result of Pretty, therefore I wrote this simple class. If there already was a way, please let me know.

TODO: what I really want is something like SignaturePrinter, but for the whole source of the program, that is, for each type in the program use the factory to determine the defaulted annotations on the type.

Description copied from class: AbstractTypeProcessor

Processes a fully-analyzed class that contains a supported annotation (see AbstractProcessor.getSupportedAnnotationTypes()).

The passed class is always valid type-checked Java code.

Specified by:

typeProcess in class AbstractTypeProcessor

Parameters:

element - element of the analyzed class

tree - the tree path to the element, with the leaf being a ClassTree
