(** 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].

using an open recursion style: each method takes as its first
argument the mapper to be applied to children in the syntax

calling it ["ocamlc"], ["ocamlopt"], ["ocamldoc"], ["ocamldep"],

val apply: source:string -> target:string -> mapper -> unit
(** Apply a mapper (parametrized by the unit name) to a dumped
parsetree found in the [source] file and put the result in the
[target] file. The [structure] or [signature] field of the mapper
is applied to the implementation or interface. *)
val run_main: (string list -> mapper) -> unit
(** Entry point to call to implement a standalone -ppx rewriter from a
mapper, parametrized by the command line arguments. The current
unit name can be obtained from {!Location.input_name}. This
function implements proper error reporting for uncaught
exceptions. *)
(** {1 Registration API} *)
val register_function: (string -> (string list -> mapper) -> unit) ref
val register: string -> (string list -> mapper) -> unit
(** Apply the [register_function]. The default behavior is to run the
mapper immediately, taking arguments from the process command
line. This is to support a scenario where a mapper is linked as a
stand-alone executable.
It is possible to overwrite the [register_function] to define
"-ppx drivers", which combine several mappers in a single process.
Typically, a driver starts by defining [register_function] to a
custom implementation, then lets ppx rewriters (linked statically
or dynamically) register themselves, and then run all or some of
them. It is also possible to have -ppx drivers apply rewriters to
only specific parts of an AST.
The first argument to [register] is a symbolic name to be used by
the ppx driver. *)
