Note:

Large parts of documentation contained in ROSE/AST_RewriteMechanism/ASTRewrite.docs.

This class encapsulates the complexities associated with rewriting the AST (modifying the AST to add/remove/replace any subtrees within the AST). The user interface consists of a single static member function and several enums to help specify the position of new strings of source code into the AST as it is traversed using the AST Rewrite Tree Traversal which the user must also write.

Any existing traversal (AST Processing?) can be easily modified to use the AST Rewrite Mechanism's tree traversal alternatively. Then the single static member function to add new strings can be called at any place in the AST.

For internal use only.

This class hides the conversion of strings to AST fragments and the internally is implemented using multiple calls to the EDG parser to generate the intermediate AST (as SgFile objects).

This is a new mechanism and not fully debugged, the test code does not presently pass (31 out of 64 cases pass, as I recall).
