/**
 * The {@link SharedASTProvider} provides access to the {@link CompilationUnit AST root} used by
 * the current active Java editor.
 *
 * <p>For performance reasons, not more than one AST should be kept in memory at a time. Therefore, clients must
 * not keep any references to the shared AST or its nodes or bindings.
 * </p>
 * <p>Clients can make the following assumptions about the AST:
 * <dl>
 *    <li>the AST has a {@link ITypeRoot} as source: {@link CompilationUnit#getTypeRoot()} is not null.</li>
 *    <li>the {@link AST#apiLevel() AST API level} is {@link AST#JLS8 API level 8} or higher</li>
 *    <li>the AST has bindings resolved ({@link AST#hasResolvedBindings()})</li>
 *    <li>{@link AST#hasStatementsRecovery() statement} and {@link AST#hasBindingsRecovery() bindings}
 *           recovery are enabled
 *    </li>
 * </dl>
 * It is possible that in the future a higher API level is used, or that future options will be enabled.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The returned AST is shared. It is marked as {@link ASTNode#PROTECT} and must not be modified. Clients are advised to use
 * the non-modifying {@link ASTRewrite} to get update scripts.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * This class is not intended to be subclassed or instantiated by clients.
 * </p>

 * @since 3.4

 * @noinstantiate This class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.
