ClassCodeVisitorSupport (Groovy 6.0.0-alpha-1)

org.codehaus.groovy.ast.ClassCodeVisitorSupport

All Implemented Interfaces and Traits:

ErrorCollecting, GroovyClassVisitor
```
public abstract class ClassCodeVisitorSupport
extends CodeVisitorSupport
implements ErrorCollecting, GroovyClassVisitor
```
Abstract base class for visitors that process class nodes and their members, extending the default visitor traversal with class-specific and annotation processing.
This visitor combines CodeVisitorSupport with GroovyClassVisitor to provide comprehensive traversal of class structures including:
- Class-level annotations and package/import declarations
- Class contents (fields, methods, properties) with member-level annotations
- Method parameters and their annotations
- Object initializer statements
Subclasses typically override specific visit methods to perform custom processing while inheriting default traversal behavior. Common extension points include:
- visitStatement(Statement) - hook for statement-level processing
- visitStatementAnnotations(Statement) - hook for statement annotations in loops
- visitAnnotation(AnnotationNode) - override to process annotations
Implementations must provide getSourceUnit() to support error reporting. The ErrorCollecting interface enables error accumulation during traversal.
