It's hard to track 2-space indent levels across large vertical gaps, and
it can be hard to suppress the instinct to read the dump as if it were
preorder. This change introduces a new dump mode that addresses both
problems by using box-drawing characters to explicitly represent the
parent-child edges of the tree. This new mode is the default, but the
old behavior remains available with
`--parse-dump-format=yaml-postorder`.
This is in addition to finding a `where` on the RHS of another `where`.
Since a generic binding introduces `.Self`, any `where` expression that
isn't part of a facet type modifying the binding itself would introduce
an ambiguous `.Self`.
Add virtual parse nodes for let, var, and form bindings, which goes
before the type. This allows us to track if `where` appears in the
binding's type. We only need to look for an invalid `where` if any
appeared in the type. We combine these three nodes together into a
single node kind, which requires us to remove the name from it as a
child. We move it up to the Pattern node again, and rename the
PatternStart nodes to PatternTypeStart as they are now located in the
middle of the Pattern nodes, just before the type.
And we only need to thaw `.Self` in generic bindings. Non-generic
bindings can only have `.Self` through a `where` expression, since the
name is not provided otherwise to non-generic bindings. And `where`
expressions thaw their `.Self` independently. So the binding only needs
to thaw a `.Self` that it introduced, which is only for generic
bindings.
Implement the toolchain side of proposal #7254, removing the `:!`
binding
syntax for generic and template parameters in favor of the keywords
`generic`,
`template`, and `runtime` plus contextual defaults for phase.
For valid programs this is semantics-preserving: each binding resolves
to the
same phase, and produces the same SemIR, as it did under `:!`/`:`. The
parser
derives a binding's phase from its syntactic context plus any explicit
phase
keyword; new diagnostics and error recovery for misused keywords are
described
below.
Implementation details for each component:
- Lexer: remove the `:!` (`ColonExclaim`) token, move its virtual
parse-node
budget onto `:`, and add the `generic` and `runtime` keywords.
- Parser: thread a `BindingContext` (`ExplicitParam`, `DeducedParam`, or
`CompileTimeEntityParam`) from declaration introducers down through
parameter
lists to each binding pattern, using a one-token lookahead to
distinguish a
name-qualifier parameter list from a declaration's own final list.
Parameters
of a compile-time entity (`class`, `interface`, `constraint`, `choice`,
`alias`, `export`, `namespace`) and deduced `[]` parameters default to
checked
generic; explicit function parameters and local bindings default to
runtime.
`HandleBindingPattern` resolves the phase from that context plus the
keyword: a
`generic` keyword needs no node of its own (the phase is carried by the
binding's node kind), while a `runtime` keyword is preserved as a
`RuntimeBindingName` node so `check` can name it in a diagnostic. A
phase
keyword that is merely redundant with the contextual default is
diagnosed
here, without invalidating the parse tree.
- Check: a phase keyword that is invalid for its context (for example
`runtime`
on a checked-generic parameter) is diagnosed here, and recovers by
building an
error binding that still introduces the name so that later uses of it do
not
produce cascading errors.
The removed `:!` syntax is now rejected as an ordinary parse error.
The `form`/`:?`/`->?` ("extended types") portion of proposal #7254 is
left for a
separate change.

A lambda introducer (`fn` in expression context) with no parameters and
no body -- for example `(fn)`, where `)` immediately follows `fn` --
left `HandleLambdaAfterParams` calling `ReturnErrorOnState()` without
ever emitting a `Lambda` node. The orphaned `LambdaIntroducer` leaf was
then left where an expression was required, so `Parse` produced a tree
that failed its own verification and aborted via `CARBON_FATAL`.
Recover the way `HandleLambdaBody` already does for a missing body after
a return type: emit a placeholder `InvalidParse` body and finish a
complete `Lambda` node, so the lambda stays a valid expression and the
surrounding construct (here a `ParenExpr`) extracts cleanly.
Found by fuzzing.

Fixes a compiler crash that occurs when a malformed lambda is provided
as an operand to an operator that strictly expects an expression
Changes:
- Emits an `InvalidParse` dummy node at the current position to act as a
placeholder for the missing body
- Changed state transitions so that `LambdaIntroducer` gets properly
wrapped into a `Lambda` node
Closes#6823

This change ensures that a function signature always starts with an
`IdentifierNameMaybeBeforeSignature` node (renamed from
`IdentifierNameBeforeParams`), even in the case of function declarations
like `fn F -> T` that have no parameter list. As a consequence, this
ensures that we push new entries onto `pattern_block_stack` and
`full_pattern_stack` when we start processing the function signature.
This adds the necessary parser infrastructure to recognize and parse
lambda expressions in Carbon.
Key changes:
- Added and Parse Node Kinds.
- Updated to use to accommodate the growing number of node kinds.
- Implemented parser states and handlers for lambda syntax ( or ).
- Added structure to .
- Added diagnostics for missing lambda bodies.
- Added a stub in phase to defer semantic analysis using .
- Added parser tests for lambdas.
