Jira (PUP-1576) New Parser does not handle hyphenated barewords

Henrik Lindberg commented on an issue   Re: New Parser does not handle hyphenated barewords Hyphenated bare-words potentially opens up a can of worms. There are a couple of options: add hyphen back (should not start or end with a hyphen though), and then either: validate if a NAME token contains it, when the NAME token is used as a NAME - this requires more CPU cycles as it again has to check with a regexp + overhead of validating each and every name - now it does not have to do this because it trusts the lexer return it as an unquoted STRING token (that way it can never be mistaken for a NAME) - it is always as if it was quoted in source. I like the last approach best Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-1576 New Parser does not handle hyphenated barewords The current parser/evaluator handles hyphenated bare words such as {{hi-there}}. The new parser and evaluator chokes on these, and tries to interpret them as numeric expressions of subtraction.
