<dd><p class="first">Abstract Syntax Tree.</p>
<p>Due to Clang&#8217;s influence (mostly the fact that parsing and semantic
analysis are so intertwined for C and especially C++), the typical
working definition of AST in the LLVM community is roughly &#8220;the
compiler&#8217;s first complete symbolic (as opposed to textual)
representation of an input program&#8221;.
As such, an &#8220;AST&#8221; might be a more general graph instead of a &#8220;tree&#8221;
(consider the symbolic representation for the type of a typical &#8220;linked
list node&#8221;). This working definition is closer to what some authors
call an &#8220;annotated abstract syntax tree&#8221;.</p>
