%% @doc Abstract Erlang syntax trees.
%%
%% This module defines an abstract data type for representing Erlang
%% source code as syntax trees, in a way that is backwards compatible
%% with the data structures created by the Erlang standard library
%% parser module `erl_parse' (often referred to as "parse
%% trees", which is a bit of a misnomer). This means that all
%% `erl_parse' trees are valid abstract syntax trees, but the
%% reverse is not true: abstract syntax trees can in general not be used
%% as input to functions expecting an `erl_parse' tree.
%% However, as long as an abstract syntax tree represents a correct
%% Erlang program, the function {@link revert/1} should be able to
%% transform it to the corresponding `erl_parse'
%% representation.
%%
%% A recommended starting point for the first-time user is the documentation
%% of the {@link syntaxTree()} data type, and the function {@link type/1}.
%%
%% == NOTES: ==
%%
%% This module deals with the composition and decomposition of
%% <em>syntactic</em> entities (as opposed to semantic ones); its
%% purpose is to hide all direct references to the data structures used
%% to represent these entities. With few exceptions, the functions in
%% this module perform no semantic interpretation of their inputs, and
%% in general, the user is assumed to pass type-correct arguments - if
%% this is not done, the effects are not defined.
%%
%% With the exception of the {@link erl_parse()} data structures,
%% the internal representations of abstract syntax trees are subject to
%% change without notice, and should not be documented outside this
%% module. Furthermore, we do not give any guarantees on how an abstract
%% syntax tree may or may not be represented, <em>with the following
%% exceptions</em>: no syntax tree is represented by a single atom, such
%% as `none', by a list constructor `[X | Y]', or
%% by the empty list `[]'. This can be relied on when writing
%% functions that operate on syntax trees.

%% @type syntaxTree(). An abstract syntax tree. The {@link erl_parse()}
%% "parse tree" representation is a proper subset of the `syntaxTree()'
%% representation.
%%
%% Every abstract syntax tree node has a <em>type</em>, given by the
%% function {@link type/1}. Each node also has associated
%% <em>attributes</em>; see {@link get_attrs/1} for details. The functions
%% {@link make_tree/2} and {@link subtrees/1} are generic
%% constructor/decomposition functions for abstract syntax trees. The
%% functions {@link abstract/1} and {@link concrete/1} convert between
%% constant Erlang terms and their syntactic representations. The set of
%% syntax tree nodes is extensible through the {@link tree/2} function.
%%
%% A syntax tree can be transformed to the {@link erl_parse()}
%% representation with the {@link revert/1} function.

%% IMPLEMENTATION NOTES:
%%
%% All nodes are represented by tuples of arity 2 or greater, whose
%% first element is an atom which uniquely identifies the type of the
%% node. (In the backwards-compatible representation, the interpretation
%% is also often dependent on the context; the second element generally
%% holds the position information - with a couple of exceptions; see
%% `get_pos' and `set_pos' for details). In the documentation of this
%% module, `Pos' is the source code position information associated with
%% a node; usually, this is a positive integer indicating the original
%% source code line, but no assumptions are made in this module
%% regarding the format or interpretation of position information. When
%% a syntax tree node is constructed, its associated position is by
%% default set to the integer zero.

%% =====================================================================
%% @doc Returns the grouped list of all subtrees of a syntax tree. If
%% `Node' is a leaf node (see {@link is_leaf/1}), this
%% is the empty list, otherwise the result is always a nonempty list,
%% containing the lists of subtrees of `Node', in
%% left-to-right order as they occur in the printed program text, and
%% grouped by category. Often, each group contains only a single
%% subtree.
%%
%% Depending on the type of `Node', the size of some
%% groups may be variable (e.g., the group consisting of all the
%% elements of a tuple), while others always contain the same number of
%% elements - usually exactly one (e.g., the group containing the
%% argument expression of a case-expression). Note, however, that the
%% exact structure of the returned list (for a given node type) should
%% in general not be depended upon, since it might be subject to change
%% without notice.
%%
%% The function {@link subtrees/1} and the constructor functions
%% {@link make_tree/2} and {@link update_tree/2} can be a
%% great help if one wants to traverse a syntax tree, visiting all its
%% subtrees, but treat nodes of the tree in a uniform way in most or all
%% cases. Using these functions makes this simple, and also assures that
%% your code is not overly sensitive to extensions of the syntax tree
%% data type, because any node types not explicitly handled by your code
%% can be left to a default case.
%%
%% For example:
%% ```postorder(F, Tree) ->
%%       F(case subtrees(Tree) of
%%           [] -> Tree;
%%           List -> update_tree(Tree,
%%                               [[postorder(F, Subtree)
%%                                 || Subtree &lt;- Group]
%%                                || Group &lt;- List])
%%         end).'''
%% maps the function `F' on `Tree' and all its

%% =====================================================================
%% @doc Creates a meta-representation of a syntax tree. The result
%% represents an Erlang expression "<code><em>MetaTree</em></code>"
%% which, if evaluated, will yield a new syntax tree representing the
%% same source code text as `Tree' (although the actual data
%% representation may be different). The expression represented by
%% `MetaTree' is <em>implementation independent</em> with
%% regard to the data structures used by the abstract syntax tree
%% implementation. Comments attached to nodes of `Tree' will
%% be preserved, but other attributes are lost.
%%
%% Any node in `Tree' whose node type is
%% `variable' (see {@link type/1}), and whose list of
%% annotations (see {@link get_ann/1}) contains the atom
%% `meta_var', will remain unchanged in the resulting tree,
%% except that exactly one occurrence of `meta_var' is
%% removed from its annotation list.
%%
%% The main use of the function `meta/1' is to transform a
%% data structure `Tree', which represents a piece of program
%% code, into a form that is <em>representation independent when
%% printed</em>. E.g., suppose `Tree' represents a variable
%% named "V". Then (assuming a function `print/1' for
%% printing syntax trees), evaluating `print(abstract(Tree))'
%% - simply using {@link abstract/1} to map the actual data
%% structure onto a syntax tree representation - would output a string
%% that might look something like "`{tree, variable, ..., "V",
%% ...}'", which is obviously dependent on the implementation of
%% the abstract syntax trees. This could e.g. be useful for caching a
%% syntax tree in a file. However, in some situations like in a program
%% generator generator (with two "generator"), it may be unacceptable.
%% Using `print(meta(Tree))' instead would output a
%% <em>representation independent</em> syntax tree generating
%% expression; in the above case, something like
%% "`erl_syntax:variable("V")'".
