File-level attribute annotations are not typechecked when file declares zero non-const entities

Open lexidor opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug When declaring a file attribute, the typechecker should make sure the attribute class exists and that the constructor arguments typecheck. This check is not performed when the file does not declare any entities, or if all the declared entities are top-level constant declarations.

Standalone code, or other way to reproduce the problem

Simple case, no errors.

<<file: ThisDoesNotExist(ThisIsNotBeingChecked::class)>>

The file only contains constants, no errors.

<<file: ThisDoesNotExist(ThisIsNotBeingChecked::class)>>
const int X = 1;
const int Y = 2;
const int Z = X + Y;

The file contains a non-constant, f.e. a function, 3 errors.

<<file: ThisDoesNotExist(ThisIsNotBeingChecked::class)>>
function f(): void {}

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Typecheck the examples provided above

Expected behavior

All three cases should emit the following three errors.

Naming[2049] Unbound name: ThisDoesNotExist (an object type) [1]

bug.hack:1:9
[1] 1 | <<file: ThisDoesNotExist(ThisIsNotBeingChecked::class)>>
    2 | function f(): void {}

Naming[2049] Unrecognized user attribute: ThisDoesNotExist does not have a class. Please declare a class for the attribute. [1]

bug.hack:1:9
[1] 1 | <<file: ThisDoesNotExist(ThisIsNotBeingChecked::class)>>
    2 | function f(): void {}

Naming[2049] Unbound name: ThisIsNotBeingChecked (an object type) [1]

bug.hack:1:26
[1] 1 | <<file: ThisDoesNotExist(ThisIsNotBeingChecked::class)>>
    2 | function f(): void {}

Actual behavior

Only the third case, emits errors

Environment

  • Operating system

Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

  • Installation method

Additional context This is an edge case, reported for completeness sake.
