use hir::{self, Hir, HirKind};
/// A trait for visiting the high-level IR (HIR) in depth first order.
///
/// The principle aim of this trait is to enable callers to perform case
/// analysis on a high-level intermediate representation of a regular
/// expression without necessarily using recursion. In particular, this permits
/// callers to do case analysis with constant stack usage, which can be
/// important since the size of an HIR may be proportional to end user input.
///
/// Typical usage of this trait involves providing an implementation and then
/// running it using the [`visit`](fn.visit.html) function.
pub trait Visitor {
/// The result of visiting an HIR.
type Output;
/// An error that visiting an HIR might return.
type Err;
/// All implementors of `Visitor` must provide a `finish` method, which
/// yields the result of visiting the HIR or an error.
fn finish(self) -> Result<Self::Output, Self::Err>;
/// This method is called before beginning traversal of the HIR.
fn start(&mut self) {}
/// This method is called on an `Hir` before descending into child `Hir`
/// nodes.
fn visit_pre(&mut self, _hir: &Hir) -> Result<(), Self::Err> {
Ok(())
}
/// This method is called on an `Hir` after descending all of its child
/// `Hir` nodes.
fn visit_post(&mut self, _hir: &Hir) -> Result<(), Self::Err> {
Ok(())
}
/// This method is called between child nodes of an alternation.
fn visit_alternation_in(&mut self) -> Result<(), Self::Err> {
Ok(())
}
}
/// Executes an implementation of `Visitor` in constant stack space.
///
/// This function will visit every node in the given `Hir` while calling
/// appropriate methods provided by the
/// [`Visitor`](trait.Visitor.html) trait.
///
/// The primary use case for this method is when one wants to perform case
/// analysis over an `Hir` without using a stack size proportional to the depth
/// of the `Hir`. Namely, this method will instead use constant stack space,
/// but will use heap space proportional to the size of the `Hir`. This may be
/// desirable in cases where the size of `Hir` is proportional to end user
/// input.
///
/// If the visitor returns an error at any point, then visiting is stopped and
/// the error is returned.
