Functions ¶
func CloneNode ¶
CloneNode returns a deep copy of a Node. It omits pointers to ast.{Scope,Object} variables.
func Comments ¶
Comments returns an iterator over the comments overlapping the specified interval.
func Deprecation ¶
func Deprecation(doc *ast.CommentGroup) string
Deprecation returns the paragraph of the doc comment that starts with the conventional "Deprecation: " marker, as defined by https://go.dev/wiki/Deprecated, or "" if the documented symbol is not deprecated.
func DocComment ¶
func DocComment(n ast.Node) *ast.CommentGroup
DocComment returns the doc comment for a node, if any.
func EnclosingFile ¶
EnclosingFile returns the syntax tree for the file enclosing c.
TODO(adonovan): promote this to a method of Cursor.
func Equal ¶
Equal reports whether two nodes are structurally equal, ignoring fields of type token.Pos, ast.Object, and ast.Scope, and comments.
The operands x and y may be nil. A nil slice is not equal to an empty slice.
The provided function determines whether two identifiers should be considered identical.
func EqualSyntax ¶
EqualSyntax reports whether x and y are equal. Identifiers are considered equal if they are spelled the same. Comments are ignored.
func FlatFields ¶
FlatFields 'flattens' an ast.FieldList, returning an iterator over each (name, field) combination in the list. For unnamed fields, the identifier is nil.
func Format ¶
Format returns a string representation of the node n.
func MaybeParenthesize ¶
MaybeParenthesize returns new, possibly wrapped in parens if needed to preserve operator precedence when it replaces old, whose parent is parentNode.
(This would be more naturally written in terms of Cursor, but one of the callers--the inliner--does not have cursors handy.)
func NodeContains ¶
NodeContains reports whether the Pos/End range of node n encloses the given range.
It is inclusive of both end points, to allow hovering (etc) when the cursor is immediately after a node.
Like NodeRange, it treats the range of an ast.File as the file's complete extent.
Precondition: n must not be nil.
func NodeContainsPos ¶
NodeContainsPos reports whether the Pos/End range of node n encloses the given pos.
Like NodeRange, it treats the range of an ast.File as the file's complete extent.
func OffsetInStringLiteral ¶
OffsetInStringLiteral returns the byte offset within the logical (unquoted) string corresponding to the specified source position.
func PosInStringLiteral ¶
PosInStringLiteral returns the position within a string literal corresponding to the specified byte offset within the logical string that it denotes.
func PurgeFuncBodies ¶
PurgeFuncBodies returns a copy of src in which the contents of each outermost {...} region except struct and interface types have been deleted. This reduces the amount of work required to parse the top-level declarations.
PurgeFuncBodies does not preserve newlines or position information. Also, if the input is invalid, parsing the output of PurgeFuncBodies may result in a different tree due to its effects on parser error recovery.
func Select ¶
func Select(curFile inspector.Cursor, start, end token.Pos) (_enclosing, _start, _end inspector.Cursor, _ error)
Select returns the syntax nodes identified by a user's text selection. It returns three nodes: the innermost node that wholly encloses the selection; and the first and last nodes that are wholly enclosed by the selection.
For example, given this selection:
{ f(); g(); /* comment */ }
~~~~~~~~~~~
Select returns the enclosing BlockStmt, the f() CallExpr, and the g() CallExpr.
If the selection does not wholly enclose any nodes, Select returns an error and invalid start/end nodes, but it may return a valid enclosing node.
Callers that require exactly one syntax tree (e.g. just f() or just g()) should check that the returned start and end nodes are identical.
This function is intended to be called early in the handling of a user's request, since it is tolerant of sloppy selection including extraneous whitespace and comments. Use it in new code instead of PathEnclosingInterval. When the exact extent of a node is known, use [Cursor.FindByPos] instead.
TODO(hxjiang): Consider refactoring the function signature. It is currently confusing that an error is returned even when a valid enclosing node is successfully found. Consider grouping all cursors into one struct.
func UnpackRecv ¶
UnpackRecv unpacks a receiver type expression, reporting whether it is a pointer receiver, along with the type name identifier and any receiver type parameter identifiers.
Copied (with modifications) from go/types.
Types ¶
type Directive ¶
type Directive struct {
Pos token.Pos // of preceding "//"
Tool string
Name string
Args string // may contain internal spaces
}
A directive is a comment line with special meaning to the Go toolchain or another tool. It has the form:
//tool:name args
The "tool:" portion is missing for the three directives named line, extern, and export.
See https://go.dev/doc/comment#Syntax for details of Go comment syntax and https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/compile#hdr-Compiler_Directives for details of directives used by the Go compiler.
func Directives ¶
func Directives(g *ast.CommentGroup) (res []*Directive)
Directives returns the directives within the comment.
type Range ¶
Range is a Pos interval. It implements [analysis.Range] and ast.Node.
func NodeRange ¶
NodeRange returns the extent of node n as a Range.
For unfortunate historical reasons, the Pos/End extent of an ast.File runs from the start of its package declaration---excluding copyright comments, build tags, and package documentation---to the end of its last declaration, excluding any trailing comments. So, as a special case, if n is an ast.File, NodeContains uses n.FileStart <= pos && pos <= n.FileEnd to report whether the position lies anywhere within the file.
func RangeInStringLiteral ¶
RangeInStringLiteral calculates the positional range within a string literal corresponding to the specified start and end byte offsets within the logical string.
func RangeOf ¶
RangeOf constructs a Range.
RangeOf exists to pacify the "unkeyed literal" (composites) vet check. It would be nice if there were a way for a type to add itself to the allowlist.
func (Range) Contains ¶
Contains reports whether the range (inclusive of both end points) includes the specified range.
func (Range) ContainsPos ¶
ContainsPos reports whether the range (inclusive of both end points) includes the specified position.
func (Range) End ¶
func (Range) IsValid ¶
IsValid reports whether the range is valid.
func (Range) Pos ¶
