I still don't really get what those classes are for.
Are there any information about them?

It's for dealing with qualified names, ie names with dots in them. They specify the nature of the symbol which is before the dot.

TFoo.bar
where TFoo is a template --> DotTemplateExp(loc, bar, TFoo).

Vfoo.bar
where Vfoo is a variable --> DotVarExp(loc, bar, Vfoo)

alias int quatsch; // quatsch is a type
quatsch.max --> DotTypeExp(loc, Id::max, quatsch);


If you look at parse.c, you can see how they are created. I recommend looking at lexer.h and parse.c before trying to understand the rest of the compiler.

Ok thanks for your answer.

offtopic: how is it you're using "quatsch"? It's a German word meaning nonsense :)

No, the nature of the symbol after the dot.

Manchmal hat Deutsch besserer W?rter als Englisch. Ich finde 'foo' langweilig.
