How to make gumtree support parse tree? #257

Closed zhangxiaosa closed 2 years ago

zhangxiaosa commented 2 years ago

Hi, I plan to utilize gumtree for my research project, but I found gumtree is designed for AST and thus many tokens such as curlies and parenthesis are ignored. Is it easy to make it support parse trees?

Hi!

I believe there is nothing impossible about it. You have to provide a TreeGenerator that builds a parse tree from a stream.

Cheers!
