Adds `/regex/` as a regex constructor. A couple of fun points:
1. This makes generic the idea of arbitrary stuff adding a constant.
Both SFunction and LRegex create a statically initialized constant.
Both go through Locals to do this because they LRegex isn't directly
iterable from SScript.
2. Differentiating `/` as-in-division from `/` as-in-start-of-regex
is hard. See:
http://www-archive.mozilla.org/js/language/js20-2002-04/rationale/syntax.html#regular-expressions
The javascript folks have a way, way tougher time of it then we do
because they have semicolon insertion. We have the much simpler
delimiter rules. Even with our simpler life we still have to add
a hack to get lexing `/regex/` to work properly. I chose to add
token-level lookbehind because it seems to be a pretty contained hack.
I considered and rejected lexer modes, a lexer member variable,
having the parser set variables on the lexer (this is a fairly common
solution for js, I believe), and moving regex parsing to the parser
level.
3. I've only added a very small subset of java.util.regex to the
whitelist because it is the subset I needed to test LRegex sanely.
More deserves to be added, and maybe more regex syntax like `=~` and
`==~`. Those can probably be added without too much pain.
Add `}` is statement delimiter but only in places where it is
otherwise a valid part of the syntax, specificall the end of a block.
We do this by matching but not consuming it. Antlr 4 doesn't have
syntax for this so we have to kind of hack it together by actually
matching the `}` and then seeking backwards in the token stream to
"unmatch" it. This looks reasonably efficient. Not perfect, but way
better than the alternatives.
I tried and rejected a few options:
1. Actually consuming the `}` and piping a boolean all through the
grammar from the last statement in a block to the delimiter. This
ended up being a rather large change and made the grammar way more
complicated.
2. Adding a semantic predicate to delimiter that just does the
lookahead. This doesn't work out well because it doesn't work (I
never figured out why) and because it generates an *amazing*
`adaptivePredict` which makes a super huge DFA. It looks super
inefficient.
Closes#18821
The painless whitelist has a lot of self-checking, in this case, it checks
for missing covariant overrides. It fails on java 9, because LocalDate.getEra()
now returns IsoEra instead of Era: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8072746
To our checker, it thinks we were lazy with whitelisting :)
This means painless works on java 9 again
