* Add failing test per #4406
* If a parameter is a function call, define it in an expression within the function body
* Remove the space between `function` and `*` for generator functions, to follow usual ES idiom
* We can collapse `isCall` into `isComplex`
* Don’t need existence check here
* Correct destructured parameter default evaluation order with an incrementing variable (or more generally any complicated parameter that isComplex)
* Try to pull complex parameters out of the parameter list if their order of execution matters; but don’t pull _all_ complex parameters out of the parameter list, so that we don’t lose parameter default values
* Add lots of comments about node special properties
* Err on the side of caution in deciding whether a complex parameter is allowable in a function parameter list rather than the function body (there are lots more detections we could add to find additional “safe” parameters)
* Follow the ES and CS2 convention of assigning parameter default values only when undefined, not when null or undefined
* Along with arrays and empty objects, also let values whose bases are not complex be allowed in the function parameter list (like `obj.prop`)
* Better way to check for undefined parameters when declaring them in a function body
* Once we’ve put a complex parameter in the function body, all following complex parameters go into the function body; no need to create lots of exceptions of when to choose whether to put a complex param in the body
* Rename `isComplex` to `shouldCache` for clarity
* Add failing test per #4406
* If a parameter is a function call, define it in an expression within the function body
* Remove the space between `function` and `*` for generator functions, to follow usual ES idiom
* We can collapse `isCall` into `isComplex`
* Don’t need existence check here
* Eliminate wrapper around “bound” (arrow) functions; output `=>` for such functions
* Remove irrelevant (and breaking) tests
* Minor cleanup
* When a function parameter is a splat (i.e., it uses the ES2015 rest parameter syntax) output that parameter as ES2015
* Rearrange function parameters when one of the parameters is a splat and isn’t the last parameter (very WIP)
* Handle params like `@param`, adding assignment expressions for them when they appear; ensure splat parameter is last
* Add parameter names (not a text like `'\nValue IdentifierLiteral: a'`) to the scope, so that parameters can’t be deleted; move body-related lines together; more explanation of what’s going on
* For parameters with a default value, correctly add the parameter name to the function scope
* Handle expansions in function parameters: when an expansion is found, set the parameters to only be the original parameters left of the expansion, then an `...args` parameter; and in the function body define variables for the parameters to the right of the expansion, including setting default values
* Handle splat parameters the same way we handle expansions: if a splat parameter is found, it becomes the last parameter in the function definition, and all following parameters get declared in the function body. Fix the splat/rest parameter values after the post-splat parameters have been extracted from it. Clean up `Code.compileNode` so that we loop through the parameters only once, and we create all expressions using calls like `new IdentifierLiteral` rather than `@makeCode`.
* Fix parameter name when a parameter is a splat attached to `this` (e.g. `@param...`)
* Rather than assigning post-splat parameters based on index, use slice; passes test “Functions with splats being called with too few arguments”
* Dial back our w00t indentation
* Better parsing of parameter names (WIP)
* Refactor processing of splat/expansion parameters
* Fix assignment of default parameters for parameters that come after a splat
* Better check for whether a param is attached to `this`
* More understandable variable names
* For parameters after a splat or expansion, assign them similar to the 1.x destructuring method of using `arguments`, except only concern ourselves with the post-splat parameters instead of all parameters; and use the splat/expansion parameter name, since `arguments` in ES fat arrow functions refers to the parent function’s `arguments` rather than the fat arrow function’s arguments/parameters
* Don’t add unnamed parameters (like `[]` as a parameter) to the function scope
* Disallow multiple splat/expansion parameters in function definitions; disallow lone expansion parameters
* Fix `this` params not getting assigned if the parameter is after a splat parameter
* Allow names of function parameters attached to `this` to be reserved words
* Always add a statement to the function body defining a variable with its default value, if it has one, if the variable `== null`; this covers the case when ES doesn’t apply the default value when `null` is passed in as a value, but CoffeeScript expects `null` and `undefined` to act interchangeably
* Aftermath of having both `undefined` and `null` trigger the use of default values for parameters with default values
* More careful parsing of destructured parameters
* Fall back to processing destructured parameters in the function body, to account for `this` or default values within destructured objects
* Clean up comments
* Restore new bare function test, minus the arrow function part of it
* Test that bound/arrow functions aren’t overwriting the `arguments` object, which should refer to the parent scope’s `arguments` (like `this`)
* Follow ES2015 spec for parameter default values: `null` gets assigned as as `null`, not the default value
* Mimic ES default parameters behavior for parameters after a splat or expansion parameter
* Bound functions cannot be generators: remove no-longer-relevant test, add check to throw error if `yield` appears inside a bound (arrow) function
* Error for bound generator functions should underline the `yield`
Previously, the parser created `Literal` nodes for many things. This resulted in
information loss. Instead of being able to check the node type, we had to use
regexes to tell the different types of `Literal`s apart. That was a bit like
parsing literals twice: Once in the lexer, and once (or more) in the compiler.
It also caused problems, such as `` `this` `` and `this` being indistinguishable
(fixes#2009).
Instead returning `new Literal` in the grammar, subtypes of it are now returned
instead, such as `NumberLiteral`, `StringLiteral` and `IdentifierLiteral`. `new
Literal` by itself is only used to represent code chunks that fit no category.
(While mentioning `NumberLiteral`, there's also `InfinityLiteral` now, which is
a subtype of `NumberLiteral`.)
`StringWithInterpolations` has been added as a subtype of `Parens`, and
`RegexWithInterpolations` as a subtype of `Call`. This makes it easier for other
programs to make use of CoffeeScript's "AST" (nodes). For example, it is now
possible to distinguish between `"a #{b} c"` and `"a " + b + " c"`. Fixes#4192.
`SuperCall` has been added as a subtype of `Call`.
Note, though, that some information is still lost, especially in the lexer. For
example, there is no way to distinguish a heredoc from a regular string, or a
heregex without interpolations from a regular regex. Binary and octal number
literals are indistinguishable from hexadecimal literals.
After the new subtypes were added, they were taken advantage of, removing most
regexes in nodes.coffee. `SIMPLENUM` (which matches non-hex integers) had to be
kept, though, because such numbers need special handling in JavaScript (for
example in `1..toString()`).
An especially nice hack to get rid of was using `new String()` for the token
value for reserved identifiers (to be able to set a property on them which could
survive through the parser). Now it's a good old regular string.
In range literals, slices, splices and for loop steps when number literals
are involved, CoffeeScript can do some optimizations, such as precomputing the
value of, say, `5 - 3` (outputting `2` instead of `5 - 3` literally). As a side
bonus, this now also works with hexadecimal number literals, such as `0x02`.
Finally, this also improves the output of `coffee --nodes`:
# Before:
$ bin/coffee -ne 'while true
"#{a}"
break'

`({a = 1}) ->` and `({a: b}) ->` worked, but not the combination of the two:
`({a: b = 1}) ->`. That destrucuring worked for normal assignments, though:
`{a: b = 1} = c`. This commit fixes the param case.
This let's you do things like:
fullName = ({first = 'John', last = 'Doe'}) -> "#{first} #{last}"
Note: CoffeeScrits treats `undefined` and `null` the same, and that's true in
the case of destructuring defaults as well, as opposed to ES2015 which only uses
the default value if the target is `undefined`. A similar ES2015 difference
already exists for function parameter defaults. It is important for CoffeeScript
to be consistent with itself.
fullName2 = (first = 'John', last = 'Doe') -> "#{first} #{last}"
assert fullName('Bob', null) is fullName2(first: 'Bob', last: null)
Fixes#1558, #3288 and #4005.
Any variables generated by CoffeeScript are now made sure to be named to
something not present in the source code being compiled. This way you can no
longer interfere with them, either on purpose or by mistake. (#1500, #1574)
For example, `({a}, _arg) ->` now compiles correctly. (#1574)
As opposed to the somewhat complex implementations discussed in #1500, this
commit takes a very simple approach by saving all used variables names using a
single pass over the token stream. Any generated variables are then made sure
not to exist in that list.
`(@a) -> a` used to be equivalent to `(@a) -> @a`, but now throws a runtime
`ReferenceError` instead (unless `a` exists in an upper scope of course). (#3318)
`(@a) ->` used to compile to `(function(a) { this.a = a; })`. Now it compiles to
`(function(_at_a) { this.a = _at_a; })`. (But you cannot access `_at_a` either,
of course.)
Because of the above, `(@a, a) ->` is now valid; `@a` and `a` are not duplicate
parameters.
Duplicate this-parameters with a reserved word, such as `(@case, @case) ->`,
used to compile but now throws, just like regular duplicate parameters.
This documents current behavior. When #1038 was fixed, we also optimized
away trailing "undefined" and "return undefined", but that is no longer
the case.
