If you passed an array of tokens (as opposed to a string of code) to
`CoffeeScript.nodes`, its attempts to prettify error messages would break. Now
it does not attempt to prettify error messages in that case anymore (because it
is not possible to prettify the errors without a string of code).
The repl was affected by the above bug.
Fixes#3887.
The following is now allowed:
o =
a: 1
b: 2
"#{'c'}": 3
"#{'d'}": 4
e: 5
"#{'f'}": 6
g: 7
It compiles to:
o = (
obj = {
a: 1,
b: 2
},
obj["" + 'c'] = 3,
obj["" + 'd'] = 4,
obj.e = 5,
obj["" + 'f'] = 6,
obj.g = 7,
obj
);
- Closes#3039. Empty interpolations in object keys are now _supposed_ to be
allowed.
- Closes#1131. No need to improve error messages for attempted key
interpolation anymore.
- Implementing this required fixing the following bug: `("" + a): 1` used to
error out on the colon, saying "unexpected colon". But really, it is the
attempted object key that is unexpected. Now the error is on the opening
parenthesis instead.
- However, the above fix broke some error message tests for regexes. The easiest
way to fix this was to make a seemingly unrelated change: The error messages
for unexpected identifiers, numbers, strings and regexes now say for example
'unexpected string' instead of 'unexpected """some #{really long} string"""'.
In other words, the tag _name_ is used instead of the tag _value_.
This was way easier to implement, and is more helpful to the user. Using the
tag value is good for operators, reserved words and the like, but not for
tokens which can contain any text. For example, 'unexpected identifier' is
better than 'unexpected expected' (if a variable called 'expected' was used
erraneously).
- While writing tests for the above point I found a few minor bugs with string
locations which have been fixed.
- Invalid `\x` and `\u` escapes now throw errors.
- U+2028 and U+2029 (which JavaScript treats as newline characters) are now
escaped to `\u2028` and `\u2029`, respectively.
- Octal escapes are now forbidden not only in strings, but in regexes as well.
- `\0` escapes are now escaped if needed (so that they do not form an octal
literal by mistake). Note that `\01` is an octal escape in a regex, while `\1`
is a backreference. (Added a test for backreferences while at it.)
- Fixed a bug where newlines in strings weren't removed if preceded by an
escaped character.
The third element in a token should just be an object containing line
number and column info. This PR fixes the problem with one of the tokens
being set incorrectly.
As discussed in https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/issues/3039#issuecomment-68916918.
This is the first step to implement dynamic object literal keys (see #3597).
This also fixes#1392.
In short, `super` is now allowed:
# in class definitions:
class A
instanceMethod: -> super
@staticMethod: -> super
@staticMethod2 = -> super
# in assignment where the next to last access is 'prototype':
A::m = -> super
A.prototype.m = -> super
a.b()[5]::m = -> super
A::[x()] = -> super
class B
@::m = -> super
The following two lines might seem equivalent:
for n in [1, 2, 3] by a then a = 4; n
for n in [1, 2, 3] by +a then a = 4; n
But they used not to be, because `+a` was cached into a `ref`, while the plain
`a` wasn’t. Now even simple identifiers are cached, making the two lines
equivalent as expected.
