Class Walker


An iterator for walking a Node tree.

This is depth-first, children are visited before the parent. The Walker object can be initialized with any node, and returns the next node on the descent with each next() call. 'kids_func' is an optional function that will be called to get the children of a node instead of calling 'children'. 'cycle_func' is an optional function that will be called when a cycle is detected.

This class does not get caught in node cycles caused, for example, by C header file include loops.


Method Summary
  __init__(self, node, kids_func, cycle_func, eval_func)
  is_done(self)
  next(self)
Return the next node for this walk of the tree.

Method Details

next(self)

Return the next node for this walk of the tree.

This function is intentionally iterative, not recursive, to sidestep any issues of stack size limitations.
