The UseUse::$alias node can now be null if an alias is not
explicitly given. As such "use Foo\Bar" and "use Foo\Bar as Bar"
are now represented differently.
The UseUse->getAlias() method replicates the previous semantics,
by returning "Bar" in both cases.
The parser will now always generate Identifier nodes (for
non-namespaced identifiers). This obsoletes the useIdentifierNodes
parser option.
Node constructors still accepts strings and will implicitly create
an Identifier wrapper. Identifier implement __toString(), so that
outside of strict-mode many things continue to work without changes.
Use class_name production and emit the same error as for
"extends self" and "extends parent". It's weird that "extends
static" gives a different result than those two.
For representing Identifiers that have an implicit leading $.
With this done, maybe go one step further?
* Rename VarLikeIdentifier -> VarIdentifier / VarName
* Use VarIdentifier / VarName also as an inner node in Variable.
Not sure if this adds any real value.
The parameter case is a bit weird, because the subnode is called
"name" here, rather than "var". Nothing we can do about that in
this version though.
The two parser options might be merged. I've kept it separate,
because I think this variable representation should become the
default (or even only representation) in the future, while I'm
less sure about the Identifier thing.
In this mode non-namespaced names that are currently represented
using strings will be represented using Identifier nodes instead.
Identifier nodes have a string $name subnode and coerce to string.
This allows preserving attributes and in particular location
information on identifiers.
Nearly all special errors are now handled gracefully, i.e. the
parser will be able to continue after encountering them. In some
cases the associated error range has been improved using the new
end attribute stack.
To achieve this the error handling code has been moved out of the
node constructors and into special methods in the parser.
Lexer::startLexing() no longer throws, instead errors can be fetched
using Lexer::getErrors().
Lexer errors now also contain full line and position information.
