Now syntax nodes have their formatters run even if the parsers they wrap are all arity zero. This fixes an issue where if
ppSpace
appears in amacro
/elab
then it does not format with a space due to the fact that macro argument processing wraps this asgroup(ppSpace)
, andppSpace
has arity zero.Implementation note: the fix is to make the
visitArgs
formatter combinator always visit the last child, even if it does not exist (in which case the visited node will beSyntax.missing
). To compensate, parser combinators like many and optional need to be sure to keep track of whether there any children. Only optional's needed to be modified.Closes #4561
