This change fixes parsing of case clauses such as:
case foo when !flag:
Constructions like this require some lookahead in order to parse
correctly, because the token `when` is valid both as an identifier and
as a part of the grammar for a case clause. Therefore, at the time
`foo` is encountered, the parser must decide whether it is looking at
a variable pattern (`foo when`, where `when` is the name of the
variable) or an identifier pattern (`foo`, where `when` begins the
case's guard clause). Previous to this fix, the algorithm for
disambiguating these two choices was as follows:
- If the token sequence starting at `foo` looked like a type, and the
token that follows was an identifier, the parser assumed it was
looking at a variable pattern with a type; otherwise it assumed it
was looking at an identifier pattern.
- EXCEPT that if the token that followed the supposed type was `when`
or `as` (both of which are valid identifiers), then it probed
further:
- If the token that followed `when` or `as` was a token that could
legitimately follow a pattern, then it assumed that it was looking
at a variable pattern with a type. (The tokens that could
legitimately follow a pattern are `,`, `:`, `||`, `&&`, `)`, `}`,
`]`, `as`, `when`, `?`, `!`).
- Otherwise it assumed that it was looking at an identifier pattern.
This didn't fully disambiguate, because the third bullet didn't
account for the fact that the tokens `as`, `when`, and `!` could
_either_ legitimately follow a pattern _or_ legitimately begin an
expression (or, in the case of `when`, a type), therefore constructs
like the following were incorrectly parsed:
- `case foo when as:` (where `as` is a local boolean variable)
- `case foo when when:` (where `when` is a local boolean variable)
- `case foo when !flag:` (where `flag` is a local boolean variable)
- `case foo as when:` (where `when` is the name of a type)
The solution is to simplify the disambiguation logic so that if if the
token that follows the supposed type is `when` or `as`, then the
parser assumes that it's looking at an identifier pattern, _not_ a
typed variable pattern.
The consequence of this is that the above four constructions are
parsed correctly; however it is no longer possible for a typed
variable pattern to name a variable `when` or `as`.
For consistency we would like to prohibit _any_ variable pattern from
naming a variable `when` or `as`, however to keep this change as small
as possible (and reduce the risk involved in a possible cherry-pick)
that will be postponed until a later CL.
Fixes #52199.
