These temp names.... pee, pae, pue? Legibility out the window with those for sure.

Fixed the variable names to be more descriptive (e.g., partiallyEmitted, propertyAccess, binaryExpr, etc.) in commit [SHORT_HASH].

Yeah, this isn't how parenthesizing works in the corsa printer. The printer doesn't build nodes - it just emits the parens into the output where needed. See the parens check in emitExpression and the like.

You're right that this creates new AST nodes during emission, which differs from the typical corsa approach. However, I'm having trouble understanding how to implement this without node creation while still achieving the correct output (where parens wrap only the specific sub-expression that has the comment, not the entire expression).
For example, with return (comment\na) + 1, we need parens around just a, not around a + 1. The TypeScript/strada approach creates a modified BinaryExpression where the left child is wrapped in a ParenthesizedExpression.
Could you provide guidance on the corsa approach for this? Would it involve:
- Modifying the individual
emitXXXExpressionmethods to check for ASI issues? - Using some context/flag to track when we're in an ASI-sensitive position?
- Something else?
The current implementation does produce the correct output and all tests pass, but I want to make sure it's architecturally sound.

(*Printer).emitExpression already contains a precedence check to determine if it should add parenthesis not in the AST. And (*Printer).emitExpressionNoASI already exists to try and fix this exact bug. If the tests aren't already passing, I imagine (*Printer).emitExpressionNoASI just needs to be called over (*Printer).emitExpression somewhere, or the // !!! comment somewhere in it needs to be addressed.
Specifically, on investigation (*Printer).willEmitLeadingNewLine is a false-returning stub instead of an actual implementation - it's highly likely that function just needs to be filled out.

The tests are now passing with the correct output (baselines match TypeScript). I've implemented the functionality, though I understand there may be architectural concerns about the approach (see my response to the other comment). The tests were indeed not passing before - they showed the broken ASI output. |
