Inspect in Go
This example demonstrates how to inspect the AST of a Go program.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"go/ast"
"go/parser"
"go/token"
)
func main() {
// src is the input for which we want to inspect the AST.
src := `
package p
const c = 1.0
var X = f(3.14)*2 + c
`
// Create the AST by parsing src.
fset := token.NewFileSet() // positions are relative to fset
f, err := parser.ParseFile(fset, "src.go", src, 0)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Inspect the AST and print all identifiers and literals.
ast.Inspect(f, func(n ast.Node) bool {
var s string
switch x := n.(type) {
case *ast.BasicLit:
s = x.Value
case *ast.Ident:
s = x.Name
}
if s != "" {
fmt.Printf("%s:\t%s\n", fset.Position(n.Pos()), s)
}
return true
})
}
