[Sema][Typo] Fix assertion failure for expressions with multiple typos
ClosedPublic

Authored by dgoldman on May 30 2019, 1:13 AM.

Details

Summary

As Typo Resolution can create new TypoExprs while resolving typos,
it is necessary to recurse through the expression to search for more
typos.

This should fix the assertion failure in clang::Sema::~Sema():

`DelayedTypos.empty() && "Uncorrected typos!"`

Notes:

  • For expressions with multiple typos, we only give suggestions if we are able to resolve all typos in the expression
  • This patch is similar to D37521 except that it does not eagerly commit to a correction for the first typo in the expression. Instead, it will search for corrections which fix all of the typos in the expression.

What prevents diagnostics from being emitted for TypoExprs we create for an outer transform that we end up discarding? Eg, in:

struct Y {};
struct Z { int value; };
struct A {
  Y get_me_a_Y();
};
struct B {
  Z get_me_a_Z();
};
A make_an_A();
B make_a_B();
int f() {
  return make_an_E().get_me_a_Z().value;
}

I'm concerned that we will:

  • try correcting make_me_an_E (TypoExpr T0) to make_me_an_A (because that correction has the minimum edit distance) and discover that there is no get_me_a_Z member, creating a new TypoExpr T1, and recurse:
    • try correcting get_me_a_Z (TypoExpr T1) to get_me_a_Y and discover that there is no value member
    • no correction works: bail out of recursive step
  • try correcting make_me_an_E (TypoExpr T0) to make_me_a_B and succeed

But now we still have T1 in our list of TypoExprs, and will presumably diagnose it (and take action below if it turned out to be ambiguous etc).

7762–7787

What happens if an ambiguous TypoExpr is created as a result of one of the outer level transformations?

In that case, I think that we will try alternatives for that TypoExpr here, but that TypoExpr is not in the expression we're transforming (it was created within RecursiveTransformLoop and isn't part of E), so we're just redoing the same transformation we already did but with typo-correction disabled. This means that the transform will fail (because we hit a typo and can't correct it), so we'll accept the original set of corrections despite them being ambiguous.

Fixed by discarding the failed TypoExprs

7762–7787

So what do you recommend here? Checking for the non-ambiguity in RecursiveTransformLoop itself?

Suggestion: in the recursive transform, if we find a potential ambiguity, check whether it's actually ambiguous before returning. If it is ambiguous, fail out of the entire typo-correction process: one of our tied-for-best candidates was ambiguous, so we deem the overall typo-correction process to be ambiguous. And if not, then carry on as in your current patch.

Will submit a follow up patch to handle this, I think I'll likely rewrite the ambiguity handling to remove the AmbiguousTypoExprs bit.

Thanks, this looks good; just some nits.

Please capitalize this parameter name to match the surrounding code style.

7621–7622

Reflow to 80 columns.

7686

outIsAmbiguous -> IsAmbiguous (we don't use an out prefix for output parameters).

7694–7695

Use std::move here.

7696–7699

Call TypoExprs.clear() rather than copying from a default-constructed object.

7723–7724

And std::move here too.

7778–7779

Apply clang-format here. (Or: add space after while on the first line, and indent the second line so it begins in the same column as (Next =[...]).

7781–7785

Reverse the condition of this if so you can early-exit from the loop and remove the else.

7787

isAmbiguous -> IsAmbiguous.

Thanks, LGTM. Do you need someone to commit this for you?

Nope, I can commit it. There's still one outstanding issue though: typo-correction-cxx11.cpp is still failing with the DelayedTypos.empty() && "Uncorrected typos!" error, looking into how I can handle it.

  • Fix test failure: typo-correction-cxx11.cpp

Make sure that TryTransform clears any TypoExprs that are created
if it returns an invalid ExprResult (as the new TypoExprs are unreachable
from the result).

I don't think you need to change the TreeTranform base class to support this; TreeTransform::TransformExpr is an extension point which you can override from TransformTypos to inject the custom logic you need. But I also don't think this TreeTransform::TransformExpr approach works in general anyway, as noted below.

lib/Sema/TreeTransform.h
3485–3489 ↗(On Diff #211757)

It's not safe to assume that all created TypoExprs will be produced by TransformExpr. We might (for example) produce a new TypoExpr for the callee expression while transforming a CallExpr, and you won't catch that here.

It would seem cleaner and more robust to me to collect the typos produced during typo correction from within Sema::createDelayedTypo. (Eg, set some state on Sema for the duration of typo correction, and use that state to communicate any created typos back from createDelayedTypo to typo correction.)

Fix test failure via TransformTypos

  • Add a new property on Sema to track newly created Typos and use this from within TransformTypos in order to delete any Typos that are unreachable (tested in typo-correction-cxx11.cpp)
