lizmat I wonder whether we should move RakluAST::Deparse to lib 12:56
and have RakuAST::Node.DEPARSE require that file 12:57
with 200 classes currently having deparsing logic and more than 200 to go still 12:58
ugexe how do we decide what goes in lib/ and what goes in the core anyway 12:59
lizmat well, that's a more general issue
ugexe i thought we had some vague reasoning already, but maybe not
main thing i can think of is the potential uninstall-ability / upgradability of things in lib/ 13:00
lizmat in this case, moving it transparently to lib would be easy as all access is handled through the RakuAST::Node.DEPARSE method
practical issue is I'm not sure how to require a module in lib from the "Raku/ast sorta Raku but not quite and really nqp" land 13:01
practically, it would mean not having to re-compile the whole core for RakuAST::Deparse development 13:02
which would save like 30+ seconds for each fix / test

Part 2 of HLLizing RakuAST::Deparse

  - also made sure the methods are in alphabetical order for better
   search in a soon to be 50K+ / 1700+ cloc file, which will at least
   double in size yet
  - added visual markers to guide entry of newer .deparse candidates
   at the right location		 13:04
lizmat nine: in the Perl6 grammar, 42.WHAT codegens to a nqp::what(42) 13:23
in the Raku Grammar it codegens to a method call .WHAT 13:24
same for .HOW
is this intentional, or is this a codegen issue in Raku grammar / actions ? 13:25
and same for .WHO 13:26
and DEFINITE 13:27
nine I guess just NYI special cases.
lizmat ok, so it's just a matter of fixing the IMPL-TO-QAST method ? 13:28
nine Yes. 13:29
lizmat and .REPR
ok
I'll put that on my list :-)
nine About moving Deparse to lib, you can get the same development benefits by implementing it in lib and then moving the working code to the setting. Don't have to use lib as permanent location for that 13:30
Oh, and DEPARSE is also used by RakuAST, so it will have to be in core
lizmat ah? 13:31
Ah, I see
src/Raku/ast/code.rakumod
1443:nqp::bindattr_s($regex, Regex, '$!source', self.DEPARSE);
ok, that settles that question then :-) 13:32

Add deparsing tests to calls

Before, we checked only whether the deparsed code would roundtrip. This adds checks to see if the deparsed code actually looks like something we're expecting. Found some issues with .WHAT macroish method calls, so these are marked TODO.		 13:39
lizmat nine: also looks like "42.REPR(666)" is legal in Raku grammar.. :-) 13:50
will also look at fixing that
nine I wonder if these macros really should become a different RakuAST node. They are very different beasts from regular method calls. That problem with arguments is an example of that. The difference in deparsing another one. 13:52
lizmat yeah, that may be a better solution
so fix the grammar to catch these, and create different RakuAST nodes for them
check
nine yes, that's what I'm thinking 13:53
Then passing an arg there would become a syntax error
lizmat hmmm.. actually, Call::Method already has a IMPL-SPECIAL-OP method that returns the op name for a given method name 13:54
looks like there is code for it already in Call::Method
nine Yes, the alternative to what I just suggested would be to catch those args in the check phase
The SPECIAL-OPS hash was introduced by jnthn, so we can assume that at least at that point he was sure those should be RakuAST::Call::Method nodes 13:56
lizmat ok, so now we need to figure out why they don't fire 13:57
ah, but maybe they do: a deparse with --target=ast wouldn't reveal that, or would it ?
nine no, it wouldn't 13:58
lizmat right... ok, it looks what is just missing, is the check for args in the grammar, and the deparsing 13:59
nine Not in the grammar, in PERFORM-CHECK in RakuAST::Call::Method 14:00
lizmat aha, ok :-) 14:01

Fix deparsing of macroish method calls

  - introduce a RakuAST::Call::Method.macroish method
  - adapt deparsing of RakuAST::Call::Method accordingly
  - introduce a RakuAST::ArgList.has-args method
  - introduce CHECK testing and sorry if macroish && has-args
  - unTODO now passing tests
Note: the error message appears to lack file and line number, but I think that's still just NYI at this moment		 20:53
lizmat nine: ^^ suggestions for improvements ? 20:54
nine Instead of the shortname method you could just use self.name.canonicalize 21:07
