### Public Class Methods

new (source, node_id, location, flags, operator_loc, expression)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16671
    def initialize(source, node_id, location, flags, operator_loc, expression)
      @source = source
      @node_id = node_id
      @location = location
      @flags = flags
      @operator_loc = operator_loc
      @expression = expression
    end

Initialize a new `SplatNode` node.

type ()
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16747
    def self.type
      :splat_node
    end

Return a symbol representation of this node type. See ‘Node::type`.

### Public Instance Methods

=== (other)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16753
    def ===(other)
      other.is_a?(SplatNode) &&
        (operator_loc.nil? == other.operator_loc.nil?) &&
        (expression === other.expression)
    end

Implements case-equality for the node. This is effectively == but without comparing the value of locations. Locations are checked only for presence.

accept (visitor)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16681
    def accept(visitor)
      visitor.visit_splat_node(self)
    end

def accept: (`Visitor` visitor) -> void

      SplatNode.new(source, node_id, location, flags, operator_loc, expression)
    end

      return location if location.is_a?(Location)
      @operator_loc = Location.new(source, location >> 32, location & 0xFFFFFFFF)
    end

attr_reader `operator_loc`: `Location`

Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16724
