This is driving me nuts.

@maaartinus nah, you're missing context - that block is inside anIdentifierReferenceResolver class, letting it bubble up further than FindLocalScopeDeclaration would cause more harm than silencing it, because then the entire module onward stops resolving. That said I'm only trapping it that way so I can fix the actual issue ;-)

            try
            {
                var parent = matches.SingleOrDefault(item =>
                    item.ParentScope == localScope.Scope
                    && !_moduleTypes.Contains(item.DeclarationType));

                return parent;
            }

Ethan Bierlein

And now my neighbors are shooting off fireworks again.

Mat's Mug

the actual issue is that Property Let and Property Get members both have the same Scope string, and in the case that's blowing up I'm resolving an index parameter that's in both.

maaartinus

@Mat'sMug Sure, if you really can handle it, then do it. I'm very careful with "preliminary" code... it never must do silently anything wrong.

Mat's Mug

thing is, I'm not sure that the "right" thing to do is here

@Mat'sMug According to my new SQL query, you have 91 posts qualifying for the Socratic badge!

Hmm, I feel the temptation to write a lexical preprocesser.

Mat's Mug

@Hosch250 your query is accurate :)

Ethan Bierlein

@QPaysTaxes That's exactly what I thought.

Apparently, @200 has 19 questions, and 18 qualifying.

Ethan Bierlein

@QPaysTaxes What about Ruby to Python?

:D

Hosch250

It took me a ridonculous amount of time to write it.

Ethan Bierlein

@QPaysTaxes Whoops, that's not a preprocesser. Nevermind

Hosch250

At the end, I realized I didn't need to do a join or anything, and just use Count(*).

Hmm, now I have an issue. What language should I write a preprocesser for?

Mat's Mug

Ethan Bierlein

No

Welcome to Code Review!

Phrancis

Same for all your other == unless you specifically want JS to act wonky

Ethan Bierlein

@Phrancis Nope, preprocesser takes care of that as well.

The example I gave would return the resulting JS code.

"use strict";
function ackermann(m, n) {
	if (m === 0) {
		return n + 1
	}
	else if (m > 0 && n === 0) {
		return ackermann(m - 1, n)
	}
	else if (m > 0 && n > 0) {
		return ackermann(m - 1, ackermann(m, n - 1))
	}
}

Phrancis

@EthanBierlein Then, why are you asking us?

Ethan Bierlein

@Phrancis I'm just asking for opinions on the syntax of my version.

Mat's Mug

4:50 AM

that's the flag I used

Phrancis

@EthanBierlein If your pre-processor fixes your syntax, there's no point in asking

Ethan Bierlein

Ah, never mind.

Phrancis

Not meant to be offensive or anything

Ethan Bierlein

I know.

Hmm, lemme see if I can rephrase that.

What are your general opinions on the style/syntax design of the code before it's preprocessed by the preprocesser?

Mat's Mug

why elif?

Ethan Bierlein

4:54 AM

@Mat'sMug because it's shorter than else if, and I come from a Python world.

Phrancis

@EthanBierlein My opinion is that, pre-preprocessing, it's pretty bad JS.

Ethan Bierlein

okay

Phrancis

It's good that you have a decent preprocessor, but IMHO, I'd like for the preprocessor to look at my code and be like, "Nope, nothing to see here!"
