35 * A scanning visitor of program elements with default behavior
36 * appropriate for the {@link SourceVersion#RELEASE_6 RELEASE_6}
37 * source version. The <code>visit<i>XYZ</i></code> methods in this
38 * class scan their component elements by calling {@code scan} on
39 * their {@linkplain Element#getEnclosedElements enclosed elements},
40 * {@linkplain ExecutableElement#getParameters parameters}, etc., as
41 * indicated in the individual method specifications. A subclass can
42 * control the order elements are visited by overriding the
43 * <code>visit<i>XYZ</i></code> methods. Note that clients of a scanner
44 * may get the desired behavior be invoking {@code v.scan(e, p)} rather
45 * than {@code v.visit(e, p)} on the root objects of interest.
46 *
47 * <p>When a subclass overrides a <code>visit<i>XYZ</i></code> method, the
48 * new method can cause the enclosed elements to be scanned in the
49 * default way by calling <code>super.visit<i>XYZ</i></code>. In this
50 * fashion, the concrete visitor can control the ordering of traversal
51 * over the component elements with respect to the additional
52 * processing; for example, consistently calling
53 * <code>super.visit<i>XYZ</i></code> at the start of the overridden
54 * methods will yield a preorder traversal, etc. If the component
55 * elements should be traversed in some other order, instead of
56 * calling <code>super.visit<i>XYZ</i></code>, an overriding visit method
57 * should call {@code scan} with the elements in the desired order.
58 *
59 * <p> Methods in this class may be overridden subject to their
60 * general contract. Note that annotating methods in concrete
61 * subclasses with {@link java.lang.Override @Override} will help
62 * ensure that methods are overridden as intended.
63 *
64 * <p> <b>WARNING:</b> The {@code ElementVisitor} interface
65 * implemented by this class may have methods added to it in the
66 * future to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures
67 * added to future versions of the Java™ programming language.
68 * Therefore, methods whose names begin with {@code "visit"} may be
69 * added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities,
70 * classes which extend this class should not declare any instance
71 * methods with names beginning with {@code "visit"}.
72 *
73 * <p>When such a new visit method is added, the default
74 * implementation in this class will be to call the {@link
75 * #visitUnknown visitUnknown} method. A new element scanner visitor
76 * class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language
