Hi all,
I’m investigating this bug: https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-186
Which appears to be a result of the fact that the logic that determines if an
operator is prefix/postfix/binary does not treat comments as whitespace. So,
for example:
/* comment */!foo
does not lex as expected because the “!" thinks it has an something on both
sides and so is treated as a binary operator.
Fixing this (by treating comments as whitespace here) will break existing code
which relies on the current behavior, such as:
foo/* comment */!
which currently treats the “!” as a postfix operator but will change to binary.
I expect these cases would be rare (maybe in some generated code?), but the
results might be pretty confusing.
Any objections to fixing this or other thoughts?
Thanks,
Jesse
