class SyntaxTree::BasicVisitor

BasicVisitor is the parent class of the Visitor class that provides the ability to walk down the tree. It does not define any handlers, so you should extend this class if you want your visitor to raise an error if you attempt to visit a node that you don’t handle.

This method is here to help folks write visitors.

It’s not always easy to ensure you’re writing the correct method name in the visitor since it’s perfectly valid to define methods that don’t override these parent methods.

If you use this method, you can ensure you’re writing the correct method name. It will raise an error if the visit method you’re defining isn’t actually a method on the parent visitor.
