I am ignorant of software development, but I have this comment on grammar: I would guess that "hierarchical visitor pattern" means either

  • A visitor pattern that is hierarchical

or

  • A pattern that involves a "hierarchical visitor".

I don't know which it is. But if the latter, then there should be a hyphen, thus: "hierarchical-visitor pattern". If the former, then there should be no hyphen. -- Mike Hardy

See the definition in the article about my understanding. I think the grammar is incorrect. But I think it happens frequently in computer science, so it may be okay. -- Taku 22:14 Jan 3, 2003 (UTC)


As I understand it, a "normal" visitor pattern is already hierarchical and works on structures like trees. So what is special about hierarchical visitor patterns?
