JS currently provides two meta-properties:
new.target
import.meta
new.target
was already partially supported and lexed as a single identifier. This makes it hard to support embedded comments or new lines. MDN describes both as properties as:The lexer lexes
import.meta
andnew.target
as three tokens:new
orimport
.
target
ormeta
The parser will handle it slightly different and create an
AccessNode
with the property nametarget
orimport
on an IdentNodenew
orimport
.In addition the handling of new lines and comments in expression chains (
obj.prop1.prop2
) was improved.Closes: #5919
