From c960f26044edaea6669e60859ecf590c63c65e62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Hylton Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2006 15:18:39 +0000 Subject: Improved handling of syntax errors. Expand set of errors caught in set_context(). Some new errors, some old error messages changed for consistency. Fixed error checking in generator expression code. The first set of tests were impossible condition given the grammar. In general, the ast code uses REQ() for those sanity checks. Fix some error handling for augmented assignments. As comments in the code explain, set_context() ought to work here, but I got unexpected crashes when I tried it. Should come back to this. Add note to Grammar that yield expression is a special case. Add doctest cases for SyntaxErrors raised by ast.c. --- Lib/test/test_genexps.py | 2 +- Lib/test/test_syntax.py | 238 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Parser/Python.asdl | 1 + Python/ast.c | 109 +++++++++++++++------- 4 files changed, 314 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) diff --git a/Lib/test/test_genexps.py b/Lib/test/test_genexps.py index 7af3ac3..1556604 100644 --- a/Lib/test/test_genexps.py +++ b/Lib/test/test_genexps.py @@ -137,7 +137,7 @@ Verify that syntax error's are raised for genexps used as lvalues >>> (y for y in (1,2)) = 10 Traceback (most recent call last): ... - SyntaxError: assignment to generator expression not possible (, line 1) + SyntaxError: can't assign to generator expression (, line 1) >>> (y for y in (1,2)) += 10 Traceback (most recent call last): diff --git a/Lib/test/test_syntax.py b/Lib/test/test_syntax.py index 14f4c95..b61debf 100644 --- a/Lib/test/test_syntax.py +++ b/Lib/test/test_syntax.py @@ -1,3 +1,239 @@ +"""This module tests SyntaxErrors. + +Here's an example of the sort of thing that is tested. + +>>> def f(x): +... global x +Traceback (most recent call last): +SyntaxError: name 'x' is local and global + +The tests are all raise SyntaxErrors.
