Johnni Winther 7fce125300 [cfe,kernel] Add AstPrinter
This CL adds a Node.toText method together with an AstPrinter. These
facility and better toString implementation on AST nodes while allowing
for toString independent printing of AST to use in testing. This also
add support for an integrated toString of custom/internal nodes.

Some work is still needed in bringing the toString implementation on
all nodes to the old quality, and not all internal nodes have
customized textual representations yet. This work is left for future
CLs.

Dart Kernel

Dart Kernel is a small high-level language derived from Dart. It is designed for use as an intermediate format for whole-program analysis and transformations, and to be consumed by codegen and execution backends.

The kernel language has an in-memory representation in Dart and can be serialized as binary or text.

Both the kernel language and its implementations are unstable and are under development.

This package contains the Dart part of the implementation and contains:

  • A transformable IR for the kernel language
  • Serialization of kernel code

Note: The APIs in this package are in an early state; developers should be careful about depending on this package. In particular, there is no semver contract for release versions of this package. Please depend directly on individual versions.

See ast.dart for the in-memory IR, or binary.md for a description of the binary format. For now, the textual format is very ad-hoc and cannot be parsed back in.
