Add a specific handling on the parser when a lone
:=
is found. It produces instances of a new specific class RBAssignmentErrorNode.Bad left values, like in
a foo := 5
are likely to be consumed as unfinished statements (likea foo.
), then the:=
that follows (and the right value) consumed as distinct statements of assignment errors (like:= 5
). Thus, producing an acceptable faulty AST.A possible alternative faulty AST could be to include the unfinished left value as a child of the RBAssignmentErrorNode.
But this requires to hack the parser more (for not that much additional value)
