There are "print" functions for the various kinds of AST nodes. There are bugs that prevent them from always generating compilable source code, and of course they destroy the formatting of the original code, so I don't recommend trying to print an entire AST.

Check out the Objective-C rewriter I mentioned elsewhere. It uses limited AST printing along with the rewriter infrastructure to accomplish this.
