答复: next releases

[Daniel Sun <re...@hotmail.com>]

Hi Thibault,

      The new parser Parrot passes all test cases of Apache Groovy project(including shouldFail test cases), and the AST generated by Parrot is identical to the AST generated by the old one except for the AST node position(Parrot provides more accurate position information). If we think passing all test cases and owning identical AST as the checking standard, we could say Parrot is compatible with the old parser ??

       BTW, some syntax which does not conform to the GLS(i.e. wild syntax) could not be covered, so Parrot was tested via some main Groovy projects, e.g. Grails, Gradle, Spock, Geb. But we are not sure Parrot can cover all *wild* syntax...

Cheers,
Daniel.Sun

Alternatively, groovy-antlr4 could be a separate jar.

If I understand correctly, then we are very confident that the new parser accepts all programs that the old parser accepted, because that is easy to test. But we do not know if it rejects all programs that the old parser rejected, because that is difficult to test. This is no small risk, is it? Users will have to be testers.

Can the parrot be packaged as separate jar that can be a dependency? That way it can be included at will

This is a beta, not the final release, though.

I'm reluctant on adding the experimental parser in a release. It requires a different version of antlr, which means more dependencies than we really need. We should keep the distribution as clean as possible. Not saying that the new parser is dirty, but that the size and dependencies of the distribution should remain as small as possible.

Hi Paul,

      Will the new parser Parrot be included in 2.5.x releases as an
optional parser? If developers want to give it a try, just turn on the
switch "-Dgroovy.antlr4=true".

Cheers,
Daniel.Sun
