Daniel Sun commented on GROOVY-11525:
-------------------------------------
[~blackdrag] Supporting multiple expressions would be better ;-)
{code}
def <T> swapHeadAndTail(List<T> list) {
return {T h = list[0]; List<T> t=list[1..-1]; [*t, h]}()
}
{code}
The closure is inefficient but it could be nice reference implementation as
switch-expression does.
[~emilles]
Pattern match could be based on the expression scope variable.
{code}
def foo(bar) {
return bar instanceof Number baz ? baz : bar.hashCode() // not the best
example; "bar" could be an arbitrary expression
}
// could be transformed to
def foo(bar) {
// `(baz = (Number) bar)` is redundant for condition and just for assignment
return (Number baz; bar instanceof Number && (baz = (Number) bar) ? baz :
bar.hashCode())
}
{code}
> Support expression scope variable

> Key: GROOVY-11525
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11525
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Daniel Sun
> Priority: Major
>
> Let's take a look at the following code first:
> {code}
> int hash(Object key) {
> int h;
> return (key == null) ? 0 : (h = key.hashCode()) ^ (h >>> 16);
> }
> {code}
> variable {{h}} is actually an expression scope variable, but current syntax
> doesn't support.
> I propose an expression scope variable syntax, e.g.
> Proposed syntax 1:
> {code}
> // Just support declaring variables of same type
> (int h, x, y; ...)
> {code}
> {code}
> int hash(Object key) {
> // h is only visible in the expression
> return (int h; (key == null) ? 0 : (h = key.hashCode()) ^ (h >>> 16))
> }
> {code}
> We can reduce the scope of {{h}} further:
> {code}
> int hash(Object key) {
> // h is only visible in the expression
> return (key == null) ? 0 : (int h; (h = key.hashCode()) ^ (h >>> 16))
> }
> {code}
> Proposed syntax 2(I prefer the syntax):
> {code}
> // Support declaring variables of different types
> (int h, X x, Y y -> ...)
> {code}
> {code}
> int hash(Object key) {
> // h is only visible in the expression
> return (int h -> (key == null) ? 0 : (h = key.hashCode()) ^ (h >>> 16))
> }
> {code}
> {code}
> int hash(Object key) {
> // h is only visible in the expression
> return (key == null) ? 0 : (int h -> (h = key.hashCode()) ^ (h >>> 16))
> }
> {code}
