Classes
struct	Node
	The base abstract node which determines the interface and required methods for all derived concrete nodes which comprise a valid AST. More...
struct	Statement
	Abstract (pure-virtual) AST nodes. More...
struct	Expression
	Expressions are comprised of full or potentially partial parts of a full statement that may not necessary make up an entire valid statement on their own. For example, while a Binary Operator such as "3 + 5;"" is a valid statement on its own, the full statement "3 + 5 + 6;" must be broken down into two expressions which together form the statement as well as determining precedence. More...
struct	Variable
	Variables are a base type for Locals, Attributes and ExternalVariables. Unlike other abstract types, they also consolidate data for the derived types. More...
struct	ValueBase
	ValueBases are a base class for anything that holds a value (literal). Derived classes store the actual typed values. More...
struct	StatementList
	Concrete AST nodes. More...
struct	Block
	A Block node represents a scoped list of statements. It may comprise of 0 or more statements, and specifically indicates that a new scope is activated, typically represented by curly braces. Note that a block does not alway have to be encapsulated by curly braces, but always represents a new scope. More...
struct	Tree
	A Tree is the highest concrete (non-abstract) node in the entire AX AST hierarchy. It represents an entire conversion of a valid AX string. More...
struct	CommaOperator
struct	Loop
	Loops represent for, while and do-while loop constructs. These all consist of a condition - evaluated to determine if loop iteration should continue, and a body which is the logic to be repeated. For loops also have initial statements which are evaluated prior to loop execution (at loop scope) and commonly used to set up iterators, and iteration expressions which are evaluated between iterations after the body and before the condition. Both conditions and initial statements can be declarations or expressions, so are Statements, and iteration expressions can consist of multiple expressions. The loop body is a Block defining its own scope (encapsulated by initial statement scope for for-loops). More...
struct	ConditionalStatement
	ConditionalStatements represents all combinations of 'if', 'else' and 'else if' syntax and semantics. A single ConditionalStatement only ever represents up to two branches; an 'if' (true) and an optional 'else' (false). ConditionalStatements are nested within the second 'else' branch to support 'else if' logic. As well as both 'if' and 'else' branches, a ConditionalStatement also holds an Expression related to its primary condition. More...
struct	BinaryOperator
	A BinaryOperator represents a single binary operation between a left hand side (LHS) and right hand side (RHS) expression. The operation type is stored as a tokens::OperatorToken enumerated type on the node. AX grammar guarantees that this token will only ever be a valid binary operator token type when initialized by the parser. More...
struct	TernaryOperator
	A TernaryOperator represents a ternary (conditional) expression 'a ? b : c' which evaluates to 'b' if 'a' is true and 'c' if 'a' is false. Requires 'b' and 'c' to be convertibly typed expressions, or both void. The 'true' expression ('b') is optional with the conditional expression 'a' returned if it evaluates to true, otherwise returning 'c'. Note that 'a' will only be evaluated once in this case. More...
struct	AssignExpression
	AssignExpressions represents a similar object construction to a BinaryOperator. AssignExpressions can be chained together and are thus derived as Expressions rather than Statements. More...
struct	Crement
	A Crement node represents a single increment '++' and decrement '–' operation. As well as it's crement type, it also stores whether the semantics constructed a post or pre-crement i.e. ++a or a++. More...
struct	UnaryOperator
	A UnaryOperator represents a single unary operation on an expression. The operation type is stored as a tokens::OperatorToken enumerated type on the node. AX grammar guarantees that this token will only every be a valid unary operator token type when initialized by the parser. More...
struct	Cast
	Cast nodes represent the conversion of an underlying expression to a target type. Cast nodes are typically constructed from functional notation and do not represent construction of the target type, rather a type-casted conversion. More...
struct	FunctionCall
	FunctionCalls represent a single call to a function and any provided arguments. The argument list can be empty. The function name is expected to exist in the AX function registry. More...
struct	Keyword
	Keywords represent keyword statements defining changes in execution. These include those that define changes in loop execution such as break and continue, as well as return statements. More...
struct	ArrayUnpack
	ArrayUnpack represent indexing operations into AX container types, primarily vectors and matrices indexed by the square brackets [] syntax. Multiple levels of indirection (multiple components) can be specified but current construction is limited to either a single or double component lookup. Providing two components infers a matrix indexing operation. More...
struct	ArrayPack
	ArrayPacks represent temporary container creations of arbitrary sizes, typically generated through the use of curly braces {}. More...
struct	Attribute
	Attributes represent any access to a primitive value, typically associated with the '@' symbol syntax. Note that the AST does not store any additional information on the given attribute other than its name and type, which together form a unique Attribute identifier known as the Attribute 'token'. A 'primitive value' in this instance refers to a value on an OpenVDB Volume or OpenVDB Points tree. More...
struct	ExternalVariable
	ExternalVariable represent any access to external (custom) data, typically associated with the '$' symbol syntax. Note that the AST does not store any additional information on the given external other than its name and type, which together form a unique external identifier known as the ExternalVariable 'token'. This token is used by the compiler to map user provided values to these external values. More...
struct	Local
	Local AST nodes represent a single accesses to a local variable. The only store the name of the variable being accessed. More...
struct	DeclareLocal
	DeclareLocal AST nodes symbolize a single type declaration of a local variable. These store the local variables that They also however store its specified type. These have the important distinction of representing the initial creation and allocation of a variable, in comparison to a Local node which only represents access. More...
struct	Value< T >
	A Value (literal) AST node holds either literal text or absolute value information on all numerical, string and boolean constants. A single instance of a Value is templated on the requested scalar, boolean or string type. If scalar or boolean value is constructed from a string (as typically is the case in the parser), the value is automatically converted to its numerical representation. If this fails, the original text is stored instead. More...
struct	Value< std::string >
	Specialization of Values for strings. More...

Detailed Description

Provides the definition for every abstract and concrete derived class which represent a particular abstract syntax tree (AST) node type.

Authors: Nick Avramoussis, Richard Jones

AST nodes represents a particular branch of a complete AST. Concrete nodes can be thought of as leaf node types which hold semantic information of a partial or complete statement or expression. A string of AX can be fully represented by building the correct AST structure. The AX grammar defined in axparser.y represents the valid mapping of a tokenized string to AST nodes.

AST node classes can either represent a "leaf-level" semantic component of a given AX AST, or an abstract base type. The latter are used by the parser and leaf-level AST nodes for storage of compatible child nodes, and provide grouping of various nodes which share common semantics. The main two types of abstract AST nodes are statements and expressions.
