PHP-Parser 3.0.0 Beta 2

on PHP Packagist

This release primarily improves our support for error recovery.

The following changelog only lists changes relative to the beta 1 release. A description of backwards incompatible changes between version 2.x and 3.0 can be found in the upgrading guide.

Added

• Added Node::setDocComment() method.
• Added Error::getMessageWithColumnInfo() method.
• Added support for recovery from lexer errors.
• Added support for recovering from "special" errors (i.e. non-syntax parse errors).
• Added precise location information for lexer errors.
• Added ErrorHandler interface, and ErrorHandler\Throwing and ErrorHandler\Collecting as specific implementations. These provide a general mechanism for handling error recovery.
• Added optional ErrorHandler argument to Parser::parse(), Lexer::startLexing() and NameResolver::__construct().
• The NameResolver now adds a namespacedName attribute on name nodes that cannot be statically resolved (unqualified unaliased function or constant names in namespaces).

Fixed

• Fixed attribute assignment for GroupUse prefix and variables in interpolated strings.

Changed

• The constants on NameTraverserInterface have been moved into the NameTraverser class.
• Due to the error handling changes, the Parser interface and Lexer API have changed.
• The emulative lexer now directly postprocesses tokens, instead of using ~__EMU__~ sequences. This changes the protected API of the lexer.
• The Name::slice() method now returns null for empty slices, previously new Name([]) was used. Name::concat() now also supports concatenation with null.

Removed

• Removed Name::append() and Name::prepend(). These mutable methods have been superseded by the immutable Name::concat().
• Removed Error::getRawLine() and Error::setRawLine(). These methods have been superseded by Error::getStartLine() and Error::setStartLine().
• Removed support for node cloning in the NodeTraverser.
• Removed $separator argument from Name::toString().
• Removed throw_on_error parser option and Parser::getErrors() method. Use the ErrorHandler mechanism instead.
