Hi, I guess someone needs to respond here :-) Am Mittwoch, den 15.07.2020, 09:37 -0700 schrieb Iavor Diatchki:
I understand the problem, but let me make sure I understand the solution, as the proposal is rather terse and refers to the other proposal, that introduces the exotic lexing scheme.
So am I right in understanding that `f-1` will lex as `f - 1`, but `f -1` will lext as `f (-1)`? The reason this would work like that is because the "white space" token before the `-` is not "closing" and so we know to parse a negative literal.
That is my understanding. Does that affect your verdict here?
Just as a note, I never quite understood how we plan to implement #229---is it supposed to be done through state in the lexer, or do we have a simple lexer that keeps all tokens, including white space, and then write a post-processing function to glue and rejigger tokens?
No idea here. Cheers, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/
