Version:: rev: 1.457 date: 2024/04/18 16:47:34; user: cg; file: DoWhatIMeanSupport.st directory: libwidg2; module: stx stc-classLibrary: libwidg2

Description:

Attention: this is currently being rewritten and refactored.
Don't get mad at the ugly (and duplicate) code.
Will cleanup when finished.

misc collected UI support (functional)
These used to be in the Smalltalk and SystemBrowser class;
however, they are only needed for programmers, and some of the stuff is useful in multiple
places.
Therefore it is:
    1) not needed for standalone executables
    2) published here to avoid multiple implementations

code completion

codeCompletionFor: codeAspectArg language: languageOrNilArg method: methodOrNilArg orClass: classOrNilArg context: contextOrNilArg codeView: codeViewArg into: actionBlock: provide code completion information by analyzing what the editing state is in codeViewArg
(cursor position, characters around cursor etc.) and calling back into actionBlock, passing
the info as argument.
The interface has been defined in that way
(and tight coupling with internals of the editor) because
1) the completer needs to know about the text around the cursor position
2) the edit operation for completion may be non-trivial
(although not yet fully implemented, non-local rewrite procedures may and will be added in the future
For example, in many situations, both a completion of a unary selector before the cursor,
or adding another keyword part after the cursor is possible.
Thus, this provides a list of completions PLUS a list of edit operations (as per completion), to
perform the completion.
The caller has to open a dialog, providing the suggestions, and perform the corresponding edit operation.
An additional array containing a textual description for each suggestion is also provided, which could
be shown as info or appended to the suggestions (such as 'complete variable', 'complete keyword', etc.

ContextOrNil is the current context, if this is called from the debugger;
or nil, if called from the browser.
If nonNil, we can make better guesses, because we actually know what a variable's type is

findNodeForInterval: interval in: sourceIn allowErrors: allowErrors mustBeMethod: mustBeMethod mustBeExpression: mustBeExpression: parse source, and find the node which is in the given interval
(typically a selection or a word in the source).

parse it as expression or method;
if mustBeMethod is true, do not try as expression;
if mustBeExpression is true, do not try as method
expression syntax parsing is done in workspaces (doIt).

Big hack as workaround a limitation of RBParser:
in case of an error, the parent chain of a node is usually not yet set.
(because the code is written as:
parentNode addChild:(self parseChild)
and the parent-chain of the parsed child is set in addChild).
However:
when doing code completion, having invalid syntax to parse is the normal case.

Workaround:
remember created nodes as the parse proceeds.
Thus, I can construct a partial the parent chain.

Either one may give better results (for example, when completing

...which happens often after inserting)

as best selectors has been chosen by implemented methods for aClass,

I have currently no better idea than hardcoding stuff I found irritating...

Sigh - returns nil both if unknown AND if a real nil is there.

classResolverHook: aBlock

additional hook to allow for special class resolving.
If non-nil, this hook is called for expression nodes,
and may return a class or nil.
Used eg. with expecco to resolve pin types

Usage example(s):

             { String }
