Hello chapel-developers,
PR #6555 will make a minor change in the `local` statement grammar. Here
are some important changes that comes with this PR:
- Formerly valid syntax `local foo();`, will give a syntax error. a `do`
statement or a curly-block will be required. So, the snippet must
be replaced with `local do foo();` or `local { foo(); }`
- The main motivation of this change is to add an optional conditional
expression to `local` statements. With this PR, you'll be able to do
local x.locale == here {
process(x);
}
which will be compiled identical to
if x.locale == here {
local {
process(x);
}
}
else {
process(x);
}
