Support dot-like method calls; alternative to #19384 #19919; fixes #19392
Hi @markspanbroek. I tested the tests of question, all of them pass. I would like to add questionable to important packages in case of regression. However it is blocked by https://github.com/mratsim/weave/pull/182
for i in x .++ (if true: 12):
collector.add i
if expr gives the same error like before:
Error: expression '12' is of type 'int literal(12)' and has to be used (or discarded)
Sorry for the delay. My PR has the same problem as https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/8759 ([parser] a => counter+=1 parsed as (a => counter) += 1, violating the spec, and causing issues with => )
What's the status on this PR :) ? Looking forward for questionable to work again on devel
@Menduist, Sorry for the inconveneience. I cannot think of a good solution.
https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/19919 can be merged now which reverts enabling the experiemental feature, we can embrace dot-like method calls in the future.
Maybe it's the best solution indeed, we can keep it as an optional flag until we find a solution / give up & remove it
