## Intent
|
||||
|
||||
Allow new functions to be added to existing class hierarchies without affecting those hierarchies, and without creating
|
||||
the troublesome dependency cycles that are inherent to the GoF Visitor Pattern.
|
||||
The Acyclic Visitor pattern decouples operations from an object hierarchy, allowing you to add new operations without modifying the object structure directly.

|
||||
* When the visited class hierarchy will be frequently extended with new derivatives of the Element class.
|
||||
* When the recompilation, relinking, retesting or redistribution of the derivatives of Element is very expensive.

## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
The good:
|
||||
Benefits:
|
||||
|
||||
* No dependency cycles between class hierarchies.
|
||||
* No need to recompile all the visitors if a new one is added.
|
||||
* Does not cause compilation failure in existing visitors if class hierarchy has a new member.
|
||||
|
||||
The bad:
|
||||
Trade-offs:
|
||||
|
||||
* Violates [Liskov's Substitution Principle](https://java-design-patterns.com/principles/#liskov-substitution-principle) by showing that it can accept all visitors but actually only being interested in particular visitors.
|
||||
* Parallel hierarchy of visitors has to be created for all members in visitable class hierarchy.
