Module Ast_402.Ast_mapper

The interface of a -ppx rewriter

A -ppx rewriter is a program that accepts a serialized abstract syntax tree and outputs another, possibly modified, abstract syntax tree. This module encapsulates the interface between the compiler and the -ppx rewriters, handling such details as the serialization format, forwarding of command-line flags, and storing state.

mapper allows to implement AST rewriting using open recursion. A typical mapper would be based on default_mapper, a deep identity mapper, and will fall back on it for handling the syntax it does not modify. For example:

open Asttypes
open Parsetree
open Ast_mapper

let test_mapper argv =
  { default_mapper with
    expr = fun mapper expr ->
      match expr with
      | { pexp_desc = Pexp_extension ({ txt = "test" }, PStr [])} ->
        Ast_helper.Exp.constant (Const_int 42)
      | other -> default_mapper.expr mapper other; }

let () =
  register "ppx_test" test_mapper

This -ppx rewriter, which replaces [%test] in expressions with the constant 42, can be compiled using ocamlc -o ppx_test -I +compiler-libs ocamlcommon.cma ppx_test.ml.

A mapper record implements one "method" per syntactic category, using an open recursion style: each method takes as its first argument the mapper to be applied to children in the syntax tree.

val default_mapper : mapper

A default mapper, which implements a "deep identity" mapping.

Convenience functions to write mappers

val map_opt : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a option -> 'b option
val extension_of_error : Location.error -> Parsetree.extension

Encode an error into an 'ocaml.error' extension node which can be inserted in a generated Parsetree. The compiler will be responsible for reporting the error.

val attribute_of_warning : Location.t -> string -> Parsetree.attribute

Encode a warning message into an 'ocaml.ppwarning' attribute which can be inserted in a generated Parsetree. The compiler will be responsible for reporting the warning.

type nonrec location_error = Location.error
val error_of_exn : exn -> location_error option
val register_error_of_exn : (exn -> location_error option) -> unit
val report_exception : Format.formatter -> exn -> unit
val get_error_message : location_error -> string
val set_error_message : location_error -> string -> location_error
