Compiling an AST back to source code

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5832412/compiling-an-ast-back-to-source-code

an AST back into source code is generally called prettyprinting . There are two subtle variations regenerating the text matching.. as much as possible I call this fidelity printing and nice prettyprinting which generates nicely formatted text. And how you print matters.. only intention is to compile it at which point any legal prettyprinting is fine . To do prettyprinting well requires usually more information..
