This pull request makes no logic changes, but it changes the visit order of ModifierVisitor.
ModifierVisitor works top-down, visiting larger then smaller scopes.
Many visit methods visit annotations and modiifers before members. This makes sense because the annotations and modifiers apply to the entire node; the entire node is within their scope. Examples of visit methods that work this way includes those for
Parameter
,ReceiverParameter
,VariableDeclarationExpr
,ArrayCreationLevel
,VarType
,PackageDeclaration
,ModuleDeclaration
, and some other node types.In other cases, annotations and modifiers are visited later, or the two are visited at different places in the visit order. This pull request changes such instances.
This change was necessary for a visitor I wrote that needs to know which annotations each construct is in the scope of.
