AST method copyInContext:

What is the purpose of the mothod copyInContext: in AST-Core package?

Thanks,

Mark

Re: AST method copyInContext:

By looking at the senders of #copyInContext:, I believe it is used in RBStringReplaceRule. By looking at this rule class comment, I believe it replaces a matched tree with another tree.

So I guess copyInContext: is used to replace a subtree of the AST by another tree.

Re: AST method copyInContext:

I understand that it copies subtree.

I'm interested how it uses its argument aDictionary. Is it Dictionary of Nodes?
