Package files

ast.go commentmap.go filter.go import.go print.go resolve.go scope.go walk.go

func FileExports

func FileExports(src *File) bool

FileExports trims the AST for a Go source file in place such that only exported nodes remain: all top-level identifiers which are not exported and their associated information (such as type, initial value, or function body) are removed. Non-exported fields and methods of exported types are stripped. The File.Comments list is not changed.

FileExports reports whether there are exported declarations.

func FilterDecl

func FilterDecl(decl Decl, f Filter) bool

FilterDecl trims the AST for a Go declaration in place by removing all names (including struct field and interface method names, but not from parameter lists) that don't pass through the filter f.

FilterDecl reports whether there are any declared names left after filtering.

func FilterFile

func FilterFile(src *File, f Filter) bool

FilterFile trims the AST for a Go file in place by removing all names from top-level declarations (including struct field and interface method names, but not from parameter lists) that don't pass through the filter f. If the declaration is empty afterwards, the declaration is removed from the AST. Import declarations are always removed. The File.Comments list is not changed.

FilterFile reports whether there are any top-level declarations left after filtering.

func FilterPackage

func FilterPackage(pkg *Package, f Filter) bool

FilterPackage trims the AST for a Go package in place by removing all names from top-level declarations (including struct field and interface method names, but not from parameter lists) that don't pass through the filter f. If the declaration is empty afterwards, the declaration is removed from the AST. The pkg.Files list is not changed, so that file names and top-level package comments don't get lost.

FilterPackage reports whether there are any top-level declarations left after filtering.

func Fprint

func Fprint(w io.Writer, fset *token.FileSet, x interface{}, f FieldFilter) error

Fprint prints the (sub-)tree starting at AST node x to w. If fset != nil, position information is interpreted relative to that file set. Otherwise positions are printed as integer values (file set specific offsets).

A non-nil FieldFilter f may be provided to control the output: struct fields for which f(fieldname, fieldvalue) is true are printed; all others are filtered from the output. Unexported struct fields are never printed.

func Inspect

func Inspect(node Node, f func(Node) bool)

Inspect traverses an AST in depth-first order: It starts by calling f(node); node must not be nil. If f returns true, Inspect invokes f recursively for each of the non-nil children of node, followed by a call of f(nil).

Example

This example demonstrates how to inspect the AST of a Go program.

Code:

// src is the input for which we want to inspect the AST.
src := `
package p
const c = 1.0
var X = f(3.14)*2 + c
`

// Create the AST by parsing src.
fset := token.NewFileSet() // positions are relative to fset
f, err := parser.ParseFile(fset, "src.go", src, 0)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

// Inspect the AST and print all identifiers and literals.
ast.Inspect(f, func(n ast.Node) bool {
    var s string
    switch x := n.(type) {
    case *ast.BasicLit:
        s = x.Value
    case *ast.Ident:
        s = x.Name
    }
    if s != "" {
        fmt.Printf("%s:\t%s\n", fset.Position(n.Pos()), s)
    }
    return true
})

Output:

src.go:2:9:	p
src.go:3:7:	c
src.go:3:11:	1.0
src.go:4:5:	X
src.go:4:9:	f
src.go:4:11:	3.14
src.go:4:17:	2
src.go:4:21:	c

func IsExported

func IsExported(name string) bool

IsExported reports whether name is an exported Go symbol (that is, whether it begins with an upper-case letter).

func NotNilFilter

func NotNilFilter(_ string, v reflect.Value) bool

NotNilFilter returns true for field values that are not nil; it returns false otherwise.

func PackageExports

func PackageExports(pkg *Package) bool

PackageExports trims the AST for a Go package in place such that only exported nodes remain. The pkg.Files list is not changed, so that file names and top-level package comments don't get lost.

PackageExports reports whether there are exported declarations; it returns false otherwise.

func Print

func Print(fset *token.FileSet, x interface{}) error

Print prints x to standard output, skipping nil fields. Print(fset, x) is the same as Fprint(os.Stdout, fset, x, NotNilFilter).

Example

This example shows what an AST looks like when printed for debugging.

Code:

// src is the input for which we want to print the AST.
src := `
package main
func main() {
println("Hello, World!")
}
`

// Create the AST by parsing src.
fset := token.NewFileSet() // positions are relative to fset
f, err := parser.ParseFile(fset, "", src, 0)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

// Print the AST.
ast.Print(fset, f)

Output:

     0  *ast.File {
     1  .  Package: 2:1
     2  .  Name: *ast.Ident {

type CommentMap

A CommentMap maps an AST node to a list of comment groups associated with it. See NewCommentMap for a description of the association.

type CommentMap map[Node][]*CommentGroup

Example

This example illustrates how to remove a variable declaration in a Go program while maintaining correct comment association using an ast.CommentMap.

Code:

// src is the input for which we create the AST that we
// are going to manipulate.
src := `
// This is the package comment.
package main

// This comment is associated with the hello constant.
const hello = "Hello, World!" // line comment 1

// This comment is associated with the foo variable.
var foo = hello // line comment 2 

// This comment is associated with the main function.
func main() {
fmt.Println(hello) // line comment 3
}
`

// Create the AST by parsing src.
fset := token.NewFileSet() // positions are relative to fset
f, err := parser.ParseFile(fset, "src.go", src, parser.ParseComments)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

// Create an ast.CommentMap from the ast.File's comments.
// This helps keeping the association between comments
// and AST nodes.
cmap := ast.NewCommentMap(fset, f, f.Comments)

// Remove the first variable declaration from the list of declarations.
f.Decls = removeFirstVarDecl(f.Decls)

// Use the comment map to filter comments that don't belong anymore
// (the comments associated with the variable declaration), and create
// the new comments list.
f.Comments = cmap.Filter(f).Comments()

// Print the modified AST.
var buf bytes.Buffer
if err := format.Node(&buf, fset, f); err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

func NewCommentMap

func NewCommentMap(fset *token.FileSet, node Node, comments []*CommentGroup) CommentMap

NewCommentMap creates a new comment map by associating comment groups of the comments list with the nodes of the AST specified by node.

A comment group g is associated with a node n if:

- g starts on the same line as n ends
- g starts on the line immediately following n, and there is
  at least one empty line after g and before the next node
- g starts before n and is not associated to the node before n
  via the previous rules

NewCommentMap tries to associate a comment group to the "largest" node possible: For instance, if the comment is a line comment trailing an assignment, the comment is associated with the entire assignment rather than just the last operand in the assignment.
