Newlines after line continuation were inserted into the string
literals. This patch makes the parser ignore the newlines after \ and
also makes it so that "use strict" containing a line continuation is
not a valid "use strict".
- A regular function can have duplicate parameters except in strict mode
or if its parameter list is not "simple" (has a default or rest
parameter)
- An arrow function can never have duplicate parameters
Compared to other engines I opted for more useful syntax error messages
than a generic "duplicate parameter name not allowed in this context":
"use strict"; function test(foo, foo) {}
^
Uncaught exception: [SyntaxError]: Duplicate parameter 'foo' not allowed in strict mode (line: 1, column: 34)
function test(foo, foo = 1) {}
^
Uncaught exception: [SyntaxError]: Duplicate parameter 'foo' not allowed in function with default parameter (line: 1, column: 20)
function test(foo, ...foo) {}
^
Uncaught exception: [SyntaxError]: Duplicate parameter 'foo' not allowed in function with rest parameter (line: 1, column: 23)
(foo, foo) => {}
^
Uncaught exception: [SyntaxError]: Duplicate parameter 'foo' not allowed in arrow function (line: 1, column: 7)
If there's a newline between the closing paren and arrow it's not a
valid arrow function, ASI should kick in instead (it'll then fail with
"Unexpected token Arrow")
This simplifies try_parse_arrow_function_expression() and fixes a few
cases that should not produce an arrow function AST but did:
(a,,) => {}
(a b) => {}
(a ...b) => {}
(...b a) => {}
The new parsing logic checks whether parens are expected and uses
parse_function_parameters() if so, rolling back if a new syntax error
occurs during that. Otherwise it's just an identifier in which case we
parse the single parameter ourselves.
Finally use Symbol.iterator protocol in language features :) currently
only used in for-of loops and spread expressions, but will have more
uses later (Maps, Sets, Array.from, etc).
