A TreeVisitor that visits all the child tree nodes, and provides support for maintaining a path for the parent nodes. To visit nodes of a particular type, just override the corresponding visitorXYZ method. Inside your method, call super.visitXYZ to visit descendant nodes.
Author:Jonathan Gibbons
API Note: In order to initialize the "current path", the scan must be started by calling one of the scan methods.
Since:1.6

public class TreePathScanner<R, P> extends TreeScanner<R, P> {
Scans a tree from a position identified by a TreePath.
Params:
  • path – the path identifying the node to be scanned
  • p – a parameter value passed to visit methods
Returns:the result value from the visit method

public R scan(TreePath path, P p) { this.path = path; try { return path.getLeaf().accept(this, p); } finally { this.path = null; } }
Scans a single node. The current path is updated for the duration of the scan.
API Note:This method should normally only be called by the scanner's visit methods, as part of an ongoing scan initiated by scan(TreePath, P). The one exception is that it may also be called to initiate a full scan of a CompilationUnitTree.
Returns:the result value from the visit method
