|
<span id="Property-information"></span><h3 class="heading">Property information</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>In general, nodes in a concrete syntax tree fall into two categories:
|
|
<em>named nodes</em> and <em>anonymous nodes</em>. Whether a node is named
|
|
or anonymous is determined by the language definition
|
|
(see <a href="Language-Definitions.html#tree_002dsitter-named-node">named node</a>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<span id="index-tree_002dsitter-missing-node"></span>
|
|
<p>Apart from being named/anonymous, a node can have other properties. A
|
|
node can be “missing”: missing nodes are inserted by the parser in
|
|
order to recover from certain kinds of syntax errors, i.e., something
|
|
should probably be there according to the grammar, but not there.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<span id="index-tree_002dsitter-extra-node"></span>
|
|
<p>A node can be “extra”: extra nodes represent things like comments,
|
|
which can appear anywhere in the text.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<span id="index-tree_002dsitter-node-that-has-changes"></span>
|
|
<p>A node “has changes” if the buffer changed since when the node is
|
|
retrieved, i.e., outdated.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<span id="index-tree_002dsitter-node-that-has-error"></span>
|
|
<p>A node “has error” if the text it spans contains a syntax error. It
|
|
can be the node itself has an error, or one of its
|
|
children/grandchildren... has an error.
|
|
