CoreHackers::Q
QAST tree visualizer
DESCRIPTION
Installs q
command line script that parses out QAST trees
from a program and makes an HTML file from them.
The HTML page provides these extra features unavailable in plain
raku --target=ast
and raku --target=optimize
output:
Control-click on individual tree nodes to collapse/expand them
Color coding: of sunk nodes,
QAST::Want
alternatives, static and non-static calls, etc.
Example output:

USAGE
Usage:
q a '[<args> ...]'
q o '[<args> ...]'
a
command
$ q a raku -e 'say "hello"' > out.html; google-chrome out.html
a
stands for --target=ast
and the args that follow is a raku
invocation
to run the script (the --target=ast
argument will be inserted automatically).
The script will parse QAST generated by the given raku
program and output
an HTML file to STDOUT. View the file in any browser to examine the QAST tree.
o
command
$ q o raku -e 'say "hello"' > out.html; google-chrome out.html
o
stands for --target=optimize
. Same as a
, except parses
--target=optimize
QAST. Once again, you don't need to manually specify
--target
parameter.
z
command
$ q z raku -e 'say "hello"'
Just runs the raku command as is. Mnemonic: "zero". This command exists simply
to easily switch between a
/o
runs and plain raku runs.
