ParseTree version 1.1.0 has been released!

** DESCRIPTION:

ParseTree is a C extension (using RubyInline) that extracts the parse
tree for an entire class or a specific method and returns it as a
s-expression (aka sexp) using ruby's arrays, strings, symbols, and
integers.

As an example:

def conditional1(arg1)
if arg1 == 0 then
return 1
end
return 0
end

becomes:

[:defn,
"conditional1",
[:scope,
[:block,
[:args, "arg1"],
[:if,
[:call, [:lvar, "arg1"], "==", [:array, [:lit, 0]]],
[:return, [:lit, 1]],
nil],
[:return, [:lit, 0]]]]]

** FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

+ Uses RubyInline, so it just drops in.
+ Includes SexpProcessor and CompositeSexpProcessor.
+ Allows you to write very clean filters.
+ Includes show.rb, which lets you quickly snoop code.
+ Includes abc.rb, which lets you get abc metrics on code.
+ abc metrics = numbers of assignments, branches, and calls.
+ whitespace independent metric for method complexity.
+ Only works on methods in classes/modules, not arbitrary code.
+ Does not work on the core classes, as they are not ruby (yet).

** SYNOPSYS:

sexp_array = ParseTree.new.parse_tree(klass)

or:

class MyProcessor < SexpProcessor
def initialize
super
self.strict = false
end
def process_lit(exp)
val = exp.shift
return val
end
end

or:

% ./parse_tree_show myfile.rb

or:

% ./parse_tree_abc myfile.rb

** CHANGES:

+ 2 minor enhancement
+ Added SexpProcessor and CompositeSexpProcessor
+ Allowed show.rb to read from standard input.
+ 3 bug fixes
+ Fixed makefile issues for BSD's make - so dumb.
+ Added super as a call in abc.rb's metrics
+ Commented out a compiler flag to work with GCC 2.95.
