early instead of leaving them to TypeCheckExpr to find in an arbitrary "late"
place in type checking. This gives us better (more localized) diagnostics and
reduces downstream errors when a pattern is malformed. This is the
foundation to produce more specific errors than "invalid pattern"
Swift SVN r26802
and refutable pattern bindings without an initializer.
- Enhance ASTDumper to dump where/else clauses on PBDs.
- Merge if/let conditional PBD logic into the mainline logic now that they are all
potentially conditional (more simplifications coming for this)
add tests for the fixits, which exercise the earlier SourceRange enhancments, e.g.:
x.swift:3:5: error: refutable pattern match can fail; add an else {} to handle this condition
let o? = a
^~
else {}
Swift SVN r26751
- Enhance PBD with a whereExpr/elseStmt field to hold this.
- Start parsing the pattern of let/var decls as a potentially refutable pattern. It becomes
a semantic error to use a refutable pattern without an 'else' (diagnostics not in place yet).
- Change validatePatternBindingDecl to use 'defer' instead of a goto to ensure cleanups on exit.
- Have it resolve the pattern in a PBD, rewriting it from expressions into pattern nodes when valid.
- Teach resolvePattern to handle TypedPatterns now that they can appear (wrapping) refutable patterns.
- Teach resolvePattern to handle refutable patterns in PBD's without initializers by emitting a diagnostic
instead of by barfing, fixing regressions on validation tests my previous patch caused, and fixing
two existing validation test crashers.
Sema, silgen, and more tests coming later.
Swift SVN r26706
- Closures that are comprised of only a single return statement are now considered to be "single expression" closures. (rdar://problem/17550847)
- Unannotated single expression closures with non-void return types can now be used in void contexts. (rdar://problem/17228969)
- Situations where a multi-statement closure's type could not be inferred because of the lack of a return-type annotation are now properly diagnosed. (rdar://problem/17212107)
I also encountered a number of crashers along the way, which should now be fixed.
Swift SVN r24817
Most tests were using %swift or similar substitutions, which did not
include the target triple and SDK. The driver was defaulting to the
host OS. Thus, we could not run the tests when the standard library was
not built for OS X.
Swift SVN r24504
These changes make the following improvements to how we generate diagnostics for expression typecheck failure:
- Customizing a diagnostic for a specific expression kind is as easy as adding a new method to the FailureDiagnosis class,
and does not require intimate knowledge of the constraint solver’s inner workings.
- As part of this patch, I’ve introduced specialized diagnostics for call, binop, unop, subscript, assignment and inout
expressions, but we can go pretty far with this.
- This also opens up the possibility to customize diagnostics not just for the expression kind, but for the specific types
involved as well.
- For the purpose of presenting accurate type info, partially-specialized subexpressions are individually re-typechecked
free of any contextual types. This allows us to:
- Properly surface subexpression errors.
- Almost completely avoid any type variables in our diagnostics. In cases where they could not be eliminated, we now
substitute in "_".
- More accurately indicate the sources of errors.
- We do a much better job of diagnosing disjunction failures. (So no more nonsensical ‘UInt8’ error messages.)
- We now present reasonable error messages for overload resolution failures, informing the user of partially-matching
parameter lists when possible.
At the very least, these changes address the following bugs:

You'll notice that emitting this diagnostic will make some already noisy closure-related errors slightly more so. This is unfortunate, but for the time-being it's better than crashing.
Swift SVN r21817
This already can't happen in most circumstances because of trailing closures, but we didn't explicitly disallow it at the beginning of a BraceStmt or following a statement production. Fixes the parser part of rdar://problem/17850752 (though there's a type checker bug there too).

reserve ? itself as a special token that cannot be defined (protecting ternary, postfix ?,
etc) but add some defensive code to prevent people from defining those operators.
