Summary: Making "public" - BinaryExpression.leftExpression and similar fields Key: GROOVY-8834 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8834 Project: Groovy Issue Type: Wish Reporter: Anton Pryamostanov This is a general request related to AST API. Currently BinaryExpression.leftExpression and similar fields are having Private access. So to change the value, we need to replace the whole BinaryExpression with new one. This is not useful as it requires coding outside of Visitor methods, and I do not see reason why it should be private. It will greatly simplify visitor methods and transformations, if all Expression fields will have Public access. Alternatively please add setter methods with Public access.
