Package fabric.ast Description
New AST nodes for the Fabric language extension. This package also includes with all of the node, extension, and delegate factories.
Extension Factory Classes
There are a number of factory classes associated with building the extension objects. As documented in the CC'03 Polyglot paper, there should be a separate extension object for each language extension. In the case of Fabric (which is an extension of Jif), a properly constructed fabric node should look as follows:
FabricNodeFactory_c object, and the delegate will be
created by a FabricDelFactory_c object, but the extension
class factories are a little more complicated.
All of the extension factories implement the
FabricExtFactory interface, even those that produce
Jif extensions rather than FabricExt extensions.
The FabricExtFactory interface simply designates a factory that
is able to create extensions for all of the Fabric AST nodes.
The FabricJifExtFactory_c class is responsible for
creating all of the Jif extensions in the diagram above. It is a
simple extension of the JifExtFactory_c that is able to
construct Jif extensions for atomic sections (and any other new
AST nodes we may add).
The AbstractFabExtFactory_c class is a skeleton
implementation of the FabricExtFactory interface that takes care
of chaining extension objects together (much like the
polyglot.ast.AbstractExtFactory_c and the
jif.ast.AbstractJifExtFactory_c classes). It delegates the
actual creation of the extension objects to extFooImpl()
methods, which by default simply call the parent factory methods.
Finally, the FabricFabExtFactory_c class creates all of
the FabricExt classes in the above diagram. It extends the
AbstractFabExtFactory_c class and overrides some of the
extFooImpl methods to create the actual extension objects used
by fabric.
Here is a diagram showing how it all fits together:
