Fixes #676
Scientific notation parsing was using the shared
readInt
code path, which Ihad made more flexible to handle hex digits, but that means that literals like
1e2
were being treated as a complete number (with the hex digite
) ratherthan as scientific notation. Normally this wouldn't be a problem since it's all
a number token anyway, but it caused trouble when using dot-style property
access like
1e2.toString()
. Expressions like1.toString()
are expected tofail because
.
is interpreted as a decimal point, but when using scientificnotation, the parser needs to be smart enough see that a decimal point wouldn't
be valid, and therefore not include it as part of the token.
The fix was to change
readInt
to only handle decimal digits, not hex digits,and to inline the hex case into
readRadixNumber
. This should make numberparsing slightly faster because it's not checking for hex digits anymore.
I also added some tests since some of this code wasn't well covered by test
coverage.
