Proposed changes
TreeAssociator
class.associate()
function to visit each node in the tree and updateParserState
directly.One interesting thing here is that the old
TreeAssociator
class used some pretty complicated recursive logic to decide whether to expand specific branches when processing a given set of#if
/#else
/#endif
nodes. I think the new code is clearer, but because the visitor isn't being called recursively, the association logic requires an explicit stack to track the state of each branch.
