            Bug ID: 15254
           Summary: Clarification for term "AST"
           Product: clang
           Version: 3.2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: Markus.Elfring at web.de
                CC: llvmbugs at cs.uiuc.edu
    Classification: Unclassified

An abbreviation is used as a popular term from software development at various
places.

Examples:
- Internal Design and Implementation
  http://clang.llvm.org/features.html#design

- Cross-referencing ...
  http://clang.llvm.org/doxygen/group__CINDEX__CURSOR__XREF.html


I would appreciate if this term can be unambiguously described.

A - abstract
S - syntax or semantic
T - tree
    Can it be that the data structure which is actually used here is not a
"tree" any more so that it should be generally be called a "graph"?
