Instead of testing arguments.length to see whether an optional parameter
was passed to a function, compare its value to "undefined". This
approach has two advantages:
* It is in line with handling of default parameters in ES6.
* Optional parameters are actually spelled out in the parameter
list.
There is also one important disadvantage, namely that it's impossible to
pass "undefined" as an optional parameter value. This required a small
change in two tests.
Additional notes:
* Default parameter values are set in assignments immediately
after the function header. This reflects the fact that these
assignments really belong to the parameter list (which is where they
are in ES6).
* Parameter values are checked against "void 0" in places where
"undefined" can potentially be redefiend.
The "toParse" matcher in generated-parser-behavior.spec.js effectively
had these signatures:
toParse(input)
toParse(input, expected)
toParse(input, options, expected)
This commit regularizes them to:
toParse(input)
toParse(input, expected)
toParse(input, expected, options)
Similarly, the "toFailToParse" matcher in
generated-parser-behavior.spec.js effectively had these signatures:
toFailToParse(input)
toFailToParse(input, details)
toFailToParse(input, options, details)
This commit regularizes them to:
toFailToParse(input)
toFailToParse(input, details)
toFailToParse(input, details, options)
Finally, the "toChangeAST" matcher in helpers.js effectively had these
signatures:
toChangeAST(grammar, details)
toChangeAST(grammar, options, details)
This commit regularizes them to:
toChangeAST(grammar, details)
toChangeAST(grammar, details, options)
The overall purpose of these changes is to avoid different parameters
appearing at the same position, which is hard to manage without using
"arguments".
Labels in expressions like "(a:"a")" or "(a:"a" b:"b" c:"c")" were
visible to the outside despite being wrapped in parens. This commit
makes them invisible, as they should be.
Note this required introduction of a new "group" AST node, whose purpose
is purely to provide label scope isolation. This was necessary because
"label" and "sequence" nodes don't (and can't!) provide this isolation
themselves.
Part of a fix of #396.
Instead of setting ESLint environment to "node" globally, set it on
per-directory basis using separate .eslintrc.json files:
Directory Environment
-----------------------
bin node
lib commonjs
spec jasmine
It was impossible to use this approach for the "benchmark" directory
which contains a mix of files used in various environments. For
benchmark/run, the environment is set inline. For the other files, as
well as spec/helpers.js, the globals are declared manually (it is
impossible to express how these files are used just by a list of
environments).
Fixes#408.
Implement the swap and change various directives in the source code. The
"make hint" target becomes "make lint".
The change leads to quite some errors being reported by ESLint. These
will be fixed in subsequent commits.
Note the configuration enables just the recommended rules. Later I plan
to enable more rules to enforce the coding standard. The configuration
also sets the environment to "node", which is far from ideal as the
codebase contains a mix of CommonJS, Node.js and browser code. I hope to
clean this up at some point.
Report left recursion also in cases where the recursive rule invocation
is not a direct element of a sequence, but is wrapped inside an
expression.
Fixes#359.
Add missing |named| case to the visitor in lib/compiler/asts.js, which
makes the infinite loop and left recursion detectors work correctly with
named rules.
The missing case caused |make parser| to fail with:
140:34: Infinite loop detected.
make: *** [parser] Error 1
Preform the following renames:
* |reportedPos| -> |savedPos| (abstract machine variable)
* |peg$reportedPos| -> |peg$savedPos| (variable in generated code)
* |REPORT_SAVED_POS| -> |LOAD_SAVED_POS| (instruction)
* |REPORT_CURR_POS| -> |UPDATE_SAVED_POS| (instruction)
The idea is that the name |reportedPos| is no longer accurate after the
|location| change (seea the previous commit) because now both
|reportedPos| and |currPos| are reported to user code. Renaming to
|savedPos| resolves this inaccuracy.
There is probably some better name for the concept than quite generic
|savedPos|, but it doesn't come to me.
So far, left recursion detector assumed that left recursion occurs only
when the recursive rule is at the very left-hand side of rule's
expression:
start = start
This didn't catch cases like this:
start = "a"? start
In general, if a rule reference can be reached without consuming any
input, it can lead to left recursion. This commit fixes the detector to
consider that.
Fixes#190.
Unit specs are unit tests of internal stuff. API specs are tests of the
user-visible APIs and behavior.
I think it makes sense to make this distinction because then the public
API line is more clearly visible e.g. when using the specs as
documentation.
