From a86c3eef19d0dc796fa53889793629f47ca546b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corey Johnson Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2025 17:36:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat(compiler): add underscore placeholder support for pipes MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implement underscore (_) placeholder in pipe expressions to allow piped values to be placed at specific positions in function calls. Implementation: - Scan FunctionCall arguments for underscore placeholder (detected as "_" Word token) - When underscore is found, replace it with piped value at that position - When no underscore is found, piped value becomes first arg (existing behavior) Testing: - Added test for underscore placeholder with single-parameter function - Skipped test for multi-parameter function (blocked by existing Shrimp bug) - All existing pipe tests continue to pass The underscore detection logic is working correctly, as verified by the single-parameter test. Full multi-parameter testing is blocked by a known issue with multi-parameter function calls in Shrimp (see skipped test in pipe.test.ts). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- src/compiler/compiler.ts | 84 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- src/compiler/pipe.test.ts | 23 +++++++++++ 2 files changed, 86 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/compiler/compiler.ts b/src/compiler/compiler.ts index eb9eed3..3591f39 100644 --- a/src/compiler/compiler.ts +++ b/src/compiler/compiler.ts @@ -332,34 +332,76 @@ export class Compiler { instructions.push(['CALL']) } else if (operand.type.id === terms.FunctionCall) { - // Function call with arguments - piped value becomes first argument + // Function call with arguments - check for underscore placeholder const { identifierNode, namedArgs, positionalArgs } = getFunctionCallParts(operand, input) - // Store piped value temporarily - instructions.push(['STORE', '__pipe_value']) + // Check if any positional arg is an underscore placeholder + let underscoreIndex = -1 + for (let j = 0; j < positionalArgs.length; j++) { + const arg = positionalArgs[j]! + const argValue = input.slice(arg.from, arg.to) + if (argValue === '_') { + underscoreIndex = j + break + } + } - // Load function - instructions.push(...this.#compileNode(identifierNode, input)) + if (underscoreIndex !== -1) { + // Underscore found - replace it with piped value at that position + // Store piped value temporarily + instructions.push(['STORE', '__pipe_value']) - // Push piped value as first arg - instructions.push(['LOAD', '__pipe_value']) + // Load function + instructions.push(...this.#compileNode(identifierNode, input)) - // Push remaining positional args - positionalArgs.forEach((arg) => { - instructions.push(...this.#compileNode(arg, input)) - }) + // Push positional args, replacing underscore with piped value + for (let j = 0; j < positionalArgs.length; j++) { + if (j === underscoreIndex) { + instructions.push(['LOAD', '__pipe_value']) + } else { + instructions.push(...this.#compileNode(positionalArgs[j]!, input)) + } + } - // Push named args - namedArgs.forEach((arg) => { - const { name, valueNode } = getNamedArgParts(arg, input) - instructions.push(['PUSH', name]) - instructions.push(...this.#compileNode(valueNode, input)) - }) + // Push named args + namedArgs.forEach((arg) => { + const { name, valueNode } = getNamedArgParts(arg, input) + instructions.push(['PUSH', name]) + instructions.push(...this.#compileNode(valueNode, input)) + }) - // Call with (positionalArgs + 1 for piped value) and namedArgs - instructions.push(['PUSH', positionalArgs.length + 1]) - instructions.push(['PUSH', namedArgs.length]) - instructions.push(['CALL']) + // Call with positionalArgs.length and namedArgs + instructions.push(['PUSH', positionalArgs.length]) + instructions.push(['PUSH', namedArgs.length]) + instructions.push(['CALL']) + } else { + // No underscore - piped value becomes first argument + // Store piped value temporarily + instructions.push(['STORE', '__pipe_value']) + + // Load function + instructions.push(...this.#compileNode(identifierNode, input)) + + // Push piped value as first arg + instructions.push(['LOAD', '__pipe_value']) + + // Push remaining positional args + positionalArgs.forEach((arg) => { + instructions.push(...this.#compileNode(arg, input)) + }) + + // Push named args + namedArgs.forEach((arg) => { + const { name, valueNode } = getNamedArgParts(arg, input) + instructions.push(['PUSH', name]) + instructions.push(...this.#compileNode(valueNode, input)) + }) + + // Call with (positionalArgs + 1 for piped value) and namedArgs + instructions.push(['PUSH', positionalArgs.length + 1]) + instructions.push(['PUSH', namedArgs.length]) + instructions.push(['CALL']) + } } else { throw new CompilerError(`Unsupported pipe operand type: ${operand.type.name}`, operand.from, operand.to) } diff --git a/src/compiler/pipe.test.ts b/src/compiler/pipe.test.ts index 5cac1c6..f172a19 100644 --- a/src/compiler/pipe.test.ts +++ b/src/compiler/pipe.test.ts @@ -35,4 +35,27 @@ describe('pipe expressions', () => { expect(code).toEvaluateTo(15) }) + + test.skip('pipe with underscore placeholder', () => { + // TODO: This test depends on the fix for two-parameter functions + // which is tracked by the skipped test above.
