Hi Paolo,
I have not used it myself, but have you had a look at the new Groovy 2.5
"abstract syntax tree search and replace"-feature
(http://groovy-lang.org/releasenotes/groovy-2.5.html & search for "AST
matching") ?
Cheers,
mg

Dear all,
I'm trying to implement an AST transformation to replace any `==`
binary expression with a equals method call invocation as suggested

My understanding is that it's required to override each the visitor
for each node where a binary expression can appear ie. if statement,
while statement, assignment, for loop, method call, etc.
That looks a bit overkill. I was wondering if there's a better way to
replace globally all `==` binary expressions with `equals` method
invocations.
Cheers,
