> Closes #5028
Closes #4983
Closes #4888

This PR contains some grammar and parser fixes for the issues above, i.e. allows the parser to deal with VB6's object print statement, allows simple German style floating point literals in form properties and enables attibutes and attribute annotations on declare statements.

Moreover, it makes attribute annotations illegal on non-module declarations for which we do not collect an attribute context.

> #5121 discusses the possibility of splitting Rubberduck into a client/server architecture, to solve various performance and scaling constraints, and proposes [Language Server Protocol](https://langserver.org/) as a possible means of implementation.

Before we invest any further in this idea, we need a proof-of-concept to explore the technology, determine whether it is suitable for our use, and identify any shortcomings.

Initially, the following approach will be attempted:
- Console-base

@Duga What should I do with tests of UndeclaredVariableInspection that only fail because they use a Debug.Print, but do not reference the VBA library. Should I remove the Debug.Print or add the reference?

@M.Doerner One way to avoid the cost of adding a standard library is to define a method that will take the variable as the parameter. Having an empty-bodied method may make the code look weird, however.
 
Duga

M.Doerner

The missing variable is Debug.
To construct the declaration in the custom declaration loader, we require a reference to the VBa library.

@M.Doerner I wonder how many tests has Debug.Print. If we are now removing the special resolution, we might at least keep it in the mock parser as to not require standard library just for Debug.Print alone?
 
M.Doerner
M.Doerner
1:00 PM
Usually, tests really do not require to contain Debug.Print. I have removed that from quite a few tests before.
Whenever the library is not referenced, Debug will simply be an undeclared variable and everything else should resolve as before.
Whenever the library is not referenced, Debug will simply be an undeclared variable and everything else should resolve as usual.
Obviously, it makes a difference for the tests of the inspection mentioned above.

That was the big ticket item that people saw, I guess, when they needed to do some reorg, so she got promoted and stuck with me even though <10% of what I did related to her world...

Duck check: What would the term be for both Dependents and Precedents? FooBar-dents?
 
FreeMan
FreeMan
@IvenBach "circular reference"
 
IvenBach
IvenBach
Sheet1.Range("A1") is referenced by Sheet2.Range("A1") which is referenced by SHeet3.Range("A1").
Sheet1.A1 only has a dependent. Sheet3.A1 only has a precedent.
Sheet2 has both a precedent and a dependent. What would both together be termed? What's the #Word I'm looking for?
 
FreeMan
FreeMan
Interesting, Dim foo as Variant then in the Immediate Window, ?CBool(not foo) --> TRUE. So, CBool() interprets Empty as FALSE
"precedependent"? "Deprecedent"? "That one cell that's in the middle of things"?
 
this
this
@FreeMan more that it takes the default of the primitive that you cast it to
 
FreeMan
FreeMan
@IvenBach Also, why not Sheet3.Range("A1").Formula = "=Sheet1.Range("A1").Value instead of pointing it at sheet2? That way Sheet1 has 2 dependents and Sheet2 has no dependents.
@this ah, yeah, that makes more sense.

@this the debug.assert is in DeclarationExtensions, invoked here
 
this
this
I guess this:
TBH I'm not clear why there's an assert there - it's basically saying we shouldn't be there with an undeclared variable or .... any variable substatement rule...
Considering that we have an exception thrown in next few lines, I guess it's more there as a aid for finding out why that was violated.
 
Mathieu Guindon
Mathieu Guindon
to me a failing Debug.Assert is basically // this shouldn't happen, but louder
 
this
this
6:17 PM
Oh, I get that. It's just not clear why since the condition seems too broad
Because there's already an exception after the assert for undeclared declaration, it really only leaves the 2nd case where the context is VariableSubStmt
 
Mathieu Guindon
Mathieu Guindon
@IvenBach are you up-to-date with [next]?
@M.Doerner made a number of changes to the parser + resolver lately, so if you're on the latest [next], then it's possible a bug was introduced (and a test is missing)
conversely, if you're not running the latest & greatest, it's possible a bug was fixed and you don't have the fix for it

@Duga well done!
 
this

TBH I have no idea how one'd "introduce" a Redim'd variable.
 
Mathieu Guindon
Mathieu Guindon
remember ReDim acts as an executable Dim statement
so, it's not completely crazy to take it as a parameter and have the caller size it instead
 
this
this
probably not but I worry that the semantic is different
 
Mathieu Guindon
Mathieu Guindon
ReDim in itself is kind of a red flag.. you do well to worry about its semantics! :)
 
this
this
7:18 PM
since in the Redim case, we don't want to delete the original Redim but add a new Private (for the module field) statement or parameter.
That should be its own inspection/QF (do we have that already?)
 
Mathieu Guindon
Mathieu Guindon
yeah, best ignore ReDim declarations
@this yep (and nope)

Yeah, 2 step fix seems more apropros than trying to fix up the undeclared Redim directly

rephrase. If you did not have any Redim at all, it would not barf?
My suspicion is that it doesn't matter whether the variable for Redim is declared or not; simply doing Redim is enough to fail the assertion.

Haven't tested fully removing it. I've refactored to not need it and can remove to confirm.

to be clear, i think normal dimensioned array are probably fine. But as soon as you involve a dynamic array resized by a Redim, ka-boom

After learning other ways of storing information I'm not a fan dynamic arrays any longer.

Has there been a request for RD to add named arguments? Given Public Function FooBar(ByVal Bar as Range, ByVal Foo as Range) as Boolean this feature would convert result = FooBar(Sheet1.Range("A1"), Sheet2.Range("A2")) into result = FooBar(Bar:=Sheet1.Range("A1"), Foo:=Sheet2.Range("A2"))?
Line continuation characters come to mind as a speedbump to this feature already.
