Remove List Rewrites

[Jesper Öqvist]

Stop using list rewrites in JastAddJ!

List rewrites are used to rewrite variable declarations, field declarations and add implicit constructors. The list rewrites could be replaced by nonterminal attributes.

[Jesper Öqvist]

List rewrites to add implicit constructors have been removed, now list rewrites that rewrite field and variable declarations should be replaced by NTAs.

Rewrites for variable and field declarations seem to reside in the file VariableDeclaration.jrag

Remove variable declaration rewrites

• VarDeclStmt is no longer rewritten to a separate VariableDeclaration statements.
• VarDeclStmt now has an NTA list of single declarations named SingleDecl
• VariableDeclaration no longer inherits from Stmt.

Since VariableDeclaration is now a child of VarDeclStmt some inherited attributes needed to be changed in order to properly propagate values to VariableDeclaration nodes.

The FieldDecl list rewrite was removed in commit 9cfd7f7c6d0d165a0de34d24a13f867dfbe818e3

This was the last remaining list rewrite in ExtendJ.

The AST was refactored a bit in order to remove the list rewrite. First, VariableDeclaration was removed from the abstract grammar in 3107b2352a298ccb9c9d8274c843c7c01e0def66, then the VariableDecl node was replaced by the VariableDeclarator node and FieldDeclaration was replaced by FieldDeclarator. Both VariableDeclarator and FieldDeclarator inherit from the same abstract node type Declarator, which does not inherit from statement or body decl like VariableDeclaration and FieldDeclaration did. This means that EnumConstant no longer could inherit some attribute declarations from FieldDeclaration. A more detailed description of these changes will be compiled in the extension migration guide later.
