SI-6623 -Yrepl-use-magic-imports avoids nesting $iw wrappers by retronym · Pull Request #8576 · scala/scala

retronym · 2019-12-05T07:23:42Z

Rather than adding a wrapper object for each import in the session history,
just use a single wrapper preceded by the imports which have been
interspersed with a magic import to bump context depth.

Code is still ordinarily wrapped in a $read object.

This is a step toward 6623-like transparency.

retronym takes the blame for this innovation.
adriaanm collaborated in its commission.
somsnytt batted clean-up.

The following stress test now completes; before it exhausted memory after 70 iterations.

for i in {1..1000}; do printf 'object bar { val foo = '$i'}; \nimport bar.foo\n foo\n val foo = ""\n foo\n'; done | ./build/pack/bin/scala -Yrepl-use-magic-imports

Nice idea! Maybe give it a test run in combination with -Yrepl-class-based?

Way to "level up"!

sorry to snipe at snippes, which I guess is the French.

In the code that wraps REPL snippets, use magic imports rather

My other use case was to submit a directory of source files as a single compilation unit, with files wrapped in LEVEL_UP and LEVEL_DOWN and then concatenated in a single source, so that top-level statements would not collide. That would not be in a repl wrapper. If double brace isn't magical enough, how about ${{?

Maybe also call it WRAPL.

What's the user-level use case for that? Something to do with sealed?

Yes, on that thread they were complaining that their files get too big when they cram everything in. That also covers companionship. Sometimes I feel like I'm crammed in with my companion.

Um. I guess since we're talking import magic. I know the check used to be wrong, false positive. Now I'm not sure what the user story is. Oh, this is covered by unused import. So is this check only guarding against old bugs in name binding? Including implicit shadowing?

object X { val global = 0 import concurrent.ExecutionContext.global println(global) }

Yes, I see bug 2866 is due to Jason: "I have five unanswered questions"... after grepping for permanently hidden again in the check files...

Yeah, I dropped your changes to this code from #5220 as I didn't understand the original code or the change. 🤷‍♂

I'm not sure it's very meaningful, even if it had a bug-compatible meaning once.

Nice idea! Maybe give it a test run in combination with -Yrepl-class-based?

I've enabled -Yrepl-class-based by default for a temporary commit to survey the test failures.

I eliminated some of these failures by:

fixing a bug in tab completions under this mode
aligning the line numbers in the two strategies to avoid benign but annoying differences in parse errors (in 2.12.x we don't have the logic to subtract the pre-amble span from the position of reported errors which makes these tests brittle with respect to the encoding)

The remaining problems are:

Can't define value classes and macro implementations in the REPL. These constructs need to be wrapped in an object.
-Yrepl-class-based disables wildcard of imports from previous lines when the current line defines a class. Those imports might might contribute necessary implicits, for instance language.dynamics is needed in this test. Fixing it without regressing Spark will take a separate change to do some dead-code elimination to avoid unneeded capture which is bad for serialization (either makes serialization slow or makes it fail.)

We need some sort of story for these use cases before we could enable class-based mode by default.

- Make `ImportContext` a nested class - Avoid the constructor of the superclass `Context` needing to call methods on the unitialized subclass ImportContext by computing `isRootContext` / `depth` externally in the factory method.

Rather than adding a wrapper object for each import in the session history, just use a single wrapper preceded by the imports which have been interspersed with a magic import to bump context depth. Code is still ordinarily wrapped in a `$read` object. This is a step toward 6623-like transparency. `retronym` takes the blame for this innovation. `adriaanm` collaborated in its commission. `somsnytt` batted clean-up.

To be reverted.

… bug By default, the parser tries to heal incomplete source files by inserting missing braces. Compilation will still error out, but any subsequent parser/type errors make more sense to the user when this healing works. The healing uses indentation to figure out the intent of the code. Wrapped REPL snippets aren't properly indented, and in the test case I added the healing seems counterproductive. This commit disables it in REPL tab completion, in line with the way that IMain parses the wrapped code for real compilation.

- add comments describing a problem I discovered with imports and a possible solution - Make strip wrappers from REPL output for the wrappers generated in this mode

This detail changes under -Yrepl-class-based. We prefer tests that operate under either mode.

I was about to rebase when I realized this is on an old version of Scala. I was just doing :javap in power mode, which exacerbates the in-your-faceness. Congrats on bringing this back. It's like those seeds that lie dormant in the soil until a wildfire. Or something.
