       Ast_iterator - Ast_iterator.iterator enables AST inspection using open recursion.

Module

       Module   Ast_iterator

Documentation

       Module Ast_iterator
        : sig end

       Ast_iterator.iterator enables AST inspection using open recursion.  A typical mapper would
       be based on Ast_iterator.default_iterator , a trivial iterator, and will fall back  on  it
       for handling the syntax it does not modify.

       Warning: this module is unstable and part of Compiler_libs .

       A  iterator record implements one "method" per syntactic category, using an open recursion
       style: each method takes as its first argument the iterator to be applied to  children  in
       the syntax tree.

       val default_iterator : iterator

       A default iterator, which implements a "do not do anything" mapping.
