+ Abstract Datatype for the Annotations of the Erlang Compiler
+ </modulesummary>
+
+ <description>
+ <p>This module implements an abstract type that is used by the
+ Erlang Compiler and its helper modules for holding data such as
+ column, line number, and text. The data type is a collection of
+ <marker id="annotations"><em>annotations</em></marker> as
+ described in the following.</p>
+ <p>The Erlang Token Scanner returns tokens with a subset of
+ the following annotations, depending on the options:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>column</c></tag>
+ <item><p>The column where the token begins.</p></item>
+ <tag><c>location</c></tag>
+ <item><p>The line and column where the token begins, or
+ just the line if the column unknown.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>text</c></tag>
+ <item><p>The token's text.</p></item>
+ </taglist>
+ <p>From the above the following annotation is derived:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>line</c></tag>
+ <item><p>The line where the token begins.</p></item>
+ </taglist>
+ <p>Furthermore, the following annotations are supported by
+ this module, and used by various modules:</p>
+ <taglist>
+ <tag><c>file</c></tag>
+ <item><p>A filename.</p></item>
+ <tag><c>generated</c></tag>
+ <item><p>A Boolean indicating if the abstract code is
+ compiler generated. The Erlang Compiler does not emit warnings
+ for such code.</p>
+ </item>
+ <tag><c>record</c></tag>
+ <item><p>A Boolean indicating if the origin of the abstract
+ code is a record. Used by Dialyzer to assign types to tuple
+ elements.</p>
+ </item>
+ </taglist>
+ <p>The functions
+ <seealso marker="erl_scan#column/1">column()</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_scan#end_location/1">end_location()</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_scan#line/1">line()</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_scan#location/1">location()</seealso>, and
+ <seealso marker="erl_scan#text/1">text()</seealso>
+ in the <c>erl_scan</c> module can be used for inspecting
+ annotations in tokens.</p>
+ <p>The functions
+ <seealso marker="erl_parse#map_anno/2">map_anno()</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_parse#fold_anno/3">fold_anno()</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_parse#mapfold_anno/3">mapfold_anno()</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_parse#new_anno/1">new_anno()</seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="erl_parse#anno_from_term/1">
+ anno_from_term()</seealso>, and
+ <seealso marker="erl_parse#anno_to_term/1">
+ anno_to_term()</seealso> in the <c>erl_parse</c> module can be
+ used for manipulating annotations in abstract code.
