|

If it is ever needed to _re_-optimize an `AST`, use the `optimize_ast` method:
|
||||
Sometimes it is more efficient to store one single, large script with delimited code blocks guarded by
|
||||
constant variables. This script is compiled once to an `AST`.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, depending on the execution environment, constants are passed into the [`Engine`] and the `AST`
|
||||
is _re_-optimized based on those constants via the `Engine::optimize_ast` method,
|
||||
effectively pruning out unused code sections.
|
||||
|
||||
The final, optimized `AST` is then used for evaluations.
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Compile script to AST
|
||||
let ast = engine.compile("40 + 2")?;
|
||||
// Compile master script to AST
|
||||
let master_ast = engine.compile(
|
||||
r"
|
||||
if SCENARIO_1 {
|
||||
do_work();
|
||||
} else if SCENARIO_2 {
|
||||
do_something();
|
||||
} else if SCENARIO_3 {
|
||||
do_something_else();
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
do_nothing();
|
||||
}
|
||||
")?;
|
||||
|
||||
// Create a new 'Scope' - put constants in it to aid optimization if using 'OptimizationLevel::Full'
|
||||
let scope = Scope::new();
|
||||
// Create a new 'Scope' - put constants in it to aid optimization
|
||||
let mut scope = Scope::new();
|
||||
scope.push_constant("SCENARIO_1", true);
|
||||
scope.push_constant("SCENARIO_2", false);
|
||||
scope.push_constant("SCENARIO_3", false);
|
||||
|
||||
// Re-optimize the AST
|
||||
let ast = engine.optimize_ast(&scope, &ast, OptimizationLevel::Full);
|
||||
let new_ast = engine.optimize_ast(&scope, master_ast.clone(), OptimizationLevel::Simple);
|
||||
|
||||
// 'new_ast' is essentially: 'do_work()'
|
||||
```
