A) many things in lombok.eclipse moved to lombok.core to enable reuse with lombok.javac.
B) lombok.javac works now similarly to eclipse's model: We first make big ASTs that are bidirectionally traversable, then we walk through that for annotations.
C) Instead of getting an annotation instance, you now get an object that is more flexible and can e.g. give you class values in an enum as a string instead of a Class object, which may fail if that class isn't on the classpath of lombok.
D) sources to the internal sun classes for javac added to /contrib.
1. The visit mode of a lombok handler (does not trigger off of annotations, instead sees every field, method, type, and statement), needs to be coded,
2. triggering off of annotations via APT's annotation handling system skips method-local classes. We'll need to recode this via an AST visitor like we need for issue #1
Other than that, triggering off of annotations works swimmingly!
This way something like @AutoClose on a local var declaration can walk up one node, find
all mentions of the variable, and add a close call right after the last mention.
Also unrolled the foreach loop on ServiceLoader, because any given .next() call can throw a ServiceLoaderError, which we now handle somewhat more nicely.
figured out that I accidentally added a second transform() method and that one was being found, and that somehow causes the problem.
The locating of the right transform method now also checks params. A 'method not found' is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar easier to debug than picking the wrong one out of the lineup.
circular reference from the EclipseAST back to the CUD.
Now, patched a field into CompilationUnitDeclaration and using that, which works much better
together with the garbage collector.
- After the parser is done building a first rendition of the AST. (Usually lightweight and missing method bodies etc)
- After the parser is done taking such a lightweight AST and filling in the gaps.
Lombok then builts its own bidirectional and somewhat saner AST out of this, and hands this saner AST off for treatment. Things in the AST can be marked as 'handled'.
This seems to work swimmingly and should allow us to easily identify the annotations that are for us, and work our magic, no matter where they appear or on what, including
stuff inside method bodies.
- Split off the actual agent work into a separate src package in preparation for creating separate jars. Involved a lot of renaming
- Renamed TransformCompilationUnitDeclaration to TransformEclipseAST, as this class will also be transforming e.g. MethodDeclaration objects.
- Expanded the patching to also patch in transform calls when the parser fills in the Statement array for existing constructors, methods, and initializers.
- Redesigned the ClassLoaderWorkaround class quite a bit.
- Positioning should not work correctly ('jump to method' should jump to the getter annotation).
(Apparently, Clinit objects are always fully parsed in the original run, so no need to patch anything there).
