# Description
Fixes: #14202
After looking into the issue, I think #13910 it's not good to cut the
span if it's in external argument.
This pr is somehow revert the change, and fix
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/13431 in another way.
It introduce a new state named `State::BackTickQuote`, so if an external
arg include backtick quote, it enters the state, so backtick quote won't
be the body of a string.
# User-Facing Changes
### Before
```nushell
> ^echo `(echo aa)`
aa
> ^echo `"aa"` # maybe it's not right to remove the inner quote.
aa
```
### After
```nushell
> ^echo `(echo aa)`
(echo aa)
> ^echo `"aa"` # inner quote is keeped if there are backtick quote outside.
"aa"
```
# Tests + Formatting
Added 3 tests.

fixes#13835
The `concat` function from `span.rs` assumes that two consecutive span
intervals must overlap. But when parsing `let` and `mut` expressions, we
call `parts_including_redirection` which chains two slices of span and
leads to the above condition not holding. So my solution here is to sort
them after chaining.

# Description
Fixes: #13431Fixes: #13578
The issue happened because nushell thinks external program name and
external arg with totally same rule. But actually they are a little bit
different.
When parsing external program name, backtick is a thing and it should be
keeped.
But when parsing external args, backtick is just a mark that it's a
**bareword which may contain space**. So in this context, it's already
useless.
# User-Facing Changes
After the pr, the following command will work as intended.
```nushell
> ^echo `"hello"`
hello
```
# Tests + Formatting
Added 3 test cases.
# Description
In this PR I replaced most of the raw usize IDs with
[newtypes](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/generics/new_types.html).
Some other IDs already started using new types and in this PR I did not
want to touch them. To make the implementation less repetitive, I made
use of a generic `Id<T>` with marker structs. If this lands I would try
to move make other IDs also in this pattern.
Also at some places I needed to use `cast`, I'm not sure if the type was
incorrect and therefore casting not needed or if actually different ID
types intermingle sometimes.
# User-Facing Changes
Probably few, if you got a `DeclId` via a function and placed it later
again it will still work.

nushell will behave more likely to bash.

# Tests + Formatting
Added some tests to cover the behavior
This PR is an attempt to fix#8257 and fix#10985 (which is
duplicate-ish)
# Description
The parser currently doesn't know how to deal with colons appearing
while lexing whitespace-terminated tokens specifying a record value.
Most notably, this means you can't use datetime literals in record value
position (and as a consequence, `| to nuon | from nuon` roundtrips can
fail), but it also means that bare words containing colons cause a
non-useful error message.
`parser::parse_record` calls `lex::lex` with the `:` colon character in
the `special_tokens` argument. This allows colons to terminate record
keys, but as a side effect, it also causes colons to terminate record
*values*. I added a new function `lex::lex_n_tokens`, which allows the
caller to drive the lexing process more explicitly, and used it in
`parser::parse_record` to let colons terminate record keys while not
giving them special treatment when appearing in record values.
This PR description previously said: *Another approach suggested in one
of the issues was to support an additional datetime literal format that
doesn't require colons. I like that that wouldn't require new
`lex::lex_internal` behaviour, but an advantage of my approach is that
it also newly allows for string record values given as bare words
containing colons. I think this eliminates another possible source of
confusion.* It was determined that this is undesirable, and in the
current state of this PR, bare word record values with colons are
rejected explicitly. The better error message is still a win.
# User-Facing Changes
In addition to the above, this PR also disables the use of "special"
(non-item) tokens in record key and value position, and the use of a
single bare `:` as a record key.
Examples of behaviour *before* this PR:
```nu
{ a: b } # Valid, same as { 'a': 'b' }
{ a: b:c } # Error: expected ':'
{ a: 2024-08-13T22:11:09 } # Error: expected ':'
{ :: 1 } # Valid, same as { ':': 1 }
{ ;: 1 } # Valid, same as { ';': 1 }
{ a: || } # Valid, same as { 'a': '||' }
```
Examples of behaviour *after* this PR:
```nu
{ a: b } # (Unchanged) Valid, same as { 'a': 'b' }
{ a: b:c } # Error: colon in bare word specifying record value
{ a: 2024-08-13T22:11:09 } # Valid, same as { a: (2024-08-13T22:11:09) }

@devyn found that https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/13595, which
made ranges be type-checked at parse time, introduced a bug that caused
`../foo` to be parsed as a string rather than a command call. This was
caused by `parse_range` returning a `Some` despite there being parse
errors (`/foo` doesn't match `SyntaxShape::Number`). To go back to the
old behavior, `parse_range` now returns `None` anytime there's any parse
errors met while parsing the range.
Unfortunately, this means that something like `..$foo` will be parsed as
a string if `$foo` isn't defined and as a range if it is defined. That
was the behavior before #13595, and it should probably be fixed at some
point, but I'm just trying to quickly fix the bug.

# Description
As part of fixing https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/13586, this
PR checks the types of the operands when creating a range. Stuff like
`0..(glob .)` will be rejected at parse time. Additionally, `0..$x` will
be treated as a range and rejected if `x` is not defined, rather than
being treated as a string. A separate PR will need to be made to do
reject streams at runtime, so that stuff like `0..(open /dev/random)`
doesn't hang.
Internally, this PR adds a `ParseError::UnsupportedOperationTernary`
variant, for when you have a range like `1..2..(glob .)`.
# User-Facing Changes
Users will now receive an error if any of the operands in the ranges
they construct have types that aren't compatible with `Type::Number`.
Additionally, if a piece of code looks like a range but some parse error
is encountered while parsing it, that piece of code will still be
treated as a range and the user will be shown the parse error. This
means that a piece of code like `0..$x` will be treated as a range no
matter what. Previously, if `x` weren't the expression would've been
treated as a string `"0..$x"`. I feel like it makes the language less
complicated if we make it less context-sensitive.
Here's an example of the error you get:
```
> 0..(glob .)
Error: nu::parser::unsupported_operation
× range is not supported between int and any.
╭─[entry #1:1:1]
1 │ 0..(glob .)
· ─────┬─────┬┬
· │ │╰── any
· │ ╰── int
· ╰── doesn't support these values
╰────
```
And as an image:
Note: I made the operands themselves (above, `(glob .)`) be garbage,
rather than the `..` operator itself. This doesn't match the behavior of
the math operators (if you do `1 + "foo"`, `+` gets highlighted red).
This is because with ranges, the range operators aren't `Expression`s
themselves, so they can't be turned into garbage. I felt like here, it
makes more sense to highlight the individual operand anyway.
# Description
This makes assignment operations and `const` behave the same way `let`
and `mut` do, absorbing the rest of the pipeline.
Changes the lexer to be able to recognize assignment operators as a
separate token, and then makes the lite parser continue to push spans
into the same command regardless of any redirections or pipes if an
assignment operator is encountered. Because the pipeline is no longer
split up by the lite parser at this point, it's trivial to just parse
the right hand side as if it were a subexpression not contained within
parentheses.
# User-Facing Changes
Big breaking change. These are all now possible:
```nushell
const path = 'a' | path join 'b'
mut x = 2
$x = random int
$x = [1 2 3] | math sum
$env.FOO = random chars
```
In the past, these would have led to (an attempt at) bare word string
parsing. So while `$env.FOO = bar` would have previously set the
environment variable `FOO` to the string `"bar"`, it now tries to run
the command named `bar`, hence the major breaking change.
However, this is desirable because it is very consistent - if you see
the `=`, you can just assume it absorbs everything else to the right of
it.
# Tests + Formatting
Added tests for the new behaviour. Adjusted some existing tests that
depended on the right hand side of assignments being parsed as
barewords.
# After Submitting
- [ ] release notes (breaking change!)
# Description
This grew quite a bit beyond its original scope, but I've tried to make
`$in` a bit more consistent and easier to work with.
Instead of the parser generating calls to `collect` and creating
closures, this adds `Expr::Collect` which just evaluates in the same
scope and doesn't require any closure.
When `$in` is detected in an expression, it is replaced with a new
variable (also called `$in`) and wrapped in `Expr::Collect`. During
eval, this expression is evaluated directly, with the input and with
that new variable set to the collected value.
Other than being faster and less prone to gotchas, it also makes it
possible to typecheck the output of an expression containing `$in`,
which is nice. This is a breaking change though, because of the lack of
the closure and because now typechecking will actually happen. Also, I
haven't attempted to typecheck the input yet.
The IR generated now just looks like this:
```gas
collect %in
clone %tmp, %in
store-variable $in, %tmp
# %out <- ...expression... <- %in
drop-variable $in
```
(where `$in` is the local variable created for this collection, and not
`IN_VARIABLE_ID`)
which is a lot better than having to create a closure and call `collect
--keep-env`, dealing with all of the capture gathering and allocation
that entails. Ideally we can also detect whether that input is actually
needed, so maybe we don't have to clone, but I haven't tried to do that
yet. Theoretically now that the variable is a unique one every time, it
should be possible to give it a type - I just don't know how to
determine that yet.
On top of that, I've also reworked how `$in` works in pipeline-initial
position. Previously, it was a little bit inconsistent. For example,
this worked:
```nushell
> 3 | do { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }
3
3
```
However, this causes a runtime variable not found error on the second
`$in`:
```nushell
> def foo [] { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }; 3 | foo
Error: nu:🐚:variable_not_found
× Variable not found
╭─[entry #115:1:35]
1 │ def foo [] { let x = $in; let y = $in; print $x $y }; 3 | foo
· ─┬─
· ╰── variable not found
╰────
```
I've fixed this by making the first element `$in` detection *always*
happen at the block level, so if you use `$in` in pipeline-initial
position anywhere in a block, it will collect with an implicit
subexpression around the whole thing, and you can then use that `$in`
more than once. In doing this I also rewrote `parse_pipeline()` and
hopefully it's a bit more straightforward and possibly more efficient
too now.
Finally, I've tried to make `let` and `mut` a lot more straightforward
with how they handle the rest of the pipeline, and using a redirection
with `let`/`mut` now does what you'd expect if you assume that they
consume the whole pipeline - the redirection is just processed as
normal. These both work now:
```nushell
let x = ^foo err> err.txt
let y = ^foo out+err>| str length
```
It was previously possible to accomplish this with a subexpression, but
it just seemed like a weird gotcha that you couldn't do it. Intuitively,
`let` and `mut` just seem to take the whole line.
- closes#13137
# User-Facing Changes
- `$in` will behave more consistently with blocks and closures, since
the entire block is now just wrapped to handle it if it appears in the
first pipeline element
- `$in` no longer creates a closure, so what can be done within an
expression containing `$in` is less restrictive
- `$in` containing expressions are now type checked, rather than just
resulting in `any`. However, `$in` itself is still `any`, so this isn't
quite perfect yet
- Redirections are now allowed in `let` and `mut` and behave pretty much
how you'd expect

# Description
This PR adds an internal representation language to Nushell, offering an
alternative evaluator based on simple instructions, stream-containing
registers, and indexed control flow. The number of registers required is
determined statically at compile-time, and the fixed size required is
allocated upon entering the block.
Each instruction is associated with a span, which makes going backwards
from IR instructions to source code very easy.
Motivations for IR:
1. **Performance.** By simplifying the evaluation path and making it
more cache-friendly and branch predictor-friendly, code that does a lot
of computation in Nushell itself can be sped up a decent bit. Because
the IR is fairly easy to reason about, we can also implement
optimization passes in the future to eliminate and simplify code.
2. **Correctness.** The instructions mostly have very simple and
easily-specified behavior, so hopefully engine changes are a little bit
easier to reason about, and they can be specified in a more formal way
at some point. I have made an effort to document each of the
instructions in the docs for the enum itself in a reasonably specific
way. Some of the errors that would have happened during evaluation
before are now moved to the compilation step instead, because they don't
make sense to check during evaluation.
3. **As an intermediate target.** This is a good step for us to bring
the [`new-nu-parser`](https://github.com/nushell/new-nu-parser) in at
some point, as code generated from new AST can be directly compared to
code generated from old AST. If the IR code is functionally equivalent,
it will behave the exact same way.
4. **Debugging.** With a little bit more work, we can probably give
control over advancing the virtual machine that `IrBlock`s run on to
some sort of external driver, making things like breakpoints and single
stepping possible. Tools like `view ir` and [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir) make it easier than
before to see what exactly is going on with your Nushell code.
The goal is to eventually replace the AST evaluator entirely, once we're
sure it's working just as well. You can help dogfood this by running
Nushell with `$env.NU_USE_IR` set to some value. The environment
variable is checked when Nushell starts, so config runs with IR, or it
can also be set on a line at the REPL to change it dynamically. It is
also checked when running `do` in case within a script you want to just
run a specific piece of code with or without IR.
# Example
```nushell
view ir { |data|
mut sum = 0
for n in $data {
$sum += $n
}
$sum
}
```
```gas
# 3 registers, 19 instructions, 0 bytes of data
0: load-literal %0, int(0)
1: store-variable var 904, %0 # let
2: drain %0
3: drop %0
4: load-variable %1, var 903
5: iterate %0, %1, end 15 # for, label(1), from(14:)
6: store-variable var 905, %0
7: load-variable %0, var 904
8: load-variable %2, var 905
9: binary-op %0, Math(Plus), %2
10: span %0
11: store-variable var 904, %0
12: load-literal %0, nothing
13: drain %0
14: jump 5
15: drop %0 # label(0), from(5:)
16: drain %0
17: load-variable %0, var 904
18: return %0
```
# Benchmarks
All benchmarks run on a base model Mac Mini M1.
## Iterative Fibonacci sequence
This is about as best case as possible, making use of the much faster
control flow. Most code will not experience a speed improvement nearly
this large.
```nushell
def fib [n: int] {
mut a = 0
mut b = 1
for _ in 2..=$n {
let c = $a + $b
$a = $b
$b = $c
}
$b
}
use std bench
bench { 0..50 | each { |n| fib $n } }

I got pretty random results out of this benchmark so I decided not to
include it. Not clear why.
# User-Facing Changes
- IR compilation errors may appear even if the user isn't evaluating
with IR.
- IR evaluation can be enabled by setting the `NU_USE_IR` environment
variable to any value.
- New command `view ir` pretty-prints the IR for a block, and `view ir
--json` can be piped into an external tool like [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir).
# Tests + Formatting
All tests are passing with `NU_USE_IR=1`, and I've added some more eval
tests to compare the results for some very core operations. I will
probably want to add some more so we don't have to always check
`NU_USE_IR=1 toolkit test --workspace` on a regular basis.
# After Submitting

- [ ] further documentation of instructions?
- [ ] post-release: publish `nu_plugin_explore_ir`

# Description
We've had a lot of different issues and PRs related to arg handling with
externals since the rewrite of `run-external` in #12921:
- #12950
- #12955
- #13000
- #13001
- #13021
- #13027
- #13028
- #13073
Many of these are caused by the argument handling of external calls and
`run-external` being very special and involving the parser handing
quoted strings over to `run-external` so that it knows whether to expand
tildes and globs and so on. This is really unusual and also makes it
harder to use `run-external`, and also harder to understand it (and
probably is part of the reason why it was rewritten in the first place).
This PR moves a lot more of that work over to the parser, so that by the
time `run-external` gets it, it's dealing with much more normal Nushell
values. In particular:
- Unquoted strings are handled as globs with no expand
- The unescaped-but-quoted handling of strings was removed, and the
parser constructs normal looking strings instead, removing internal
quotes so that `run-external` doesn't have to do it
- Bare word interpolation is now supported and expansion is done in this
case
- Expressions typed as `Glob` containing `Expr::StringInterpolation` now
produce `Value::Glob` instead, with the quoted status from the expr
passed through so we know if it was a bare word
- Bare word interpolation for values typed as `glob` now possible, but
not implemented
- Because expansion is now triggered by `Value::Glob(_, false)` instead
of looking at the expr, externals now support glob types
# User-Facing Changes
- Bare word interpolation works for external command options, and
otherwise embedded in other strings:
```nushell
^echo --foo=(2 + 2) # prints --foo=4
^echo -foo=$"(2 + 2)" # prints -foo=4
^echo foo="(2 + 2)" # prints (no interpolation!) foo=(2 + 2)
^echo foo,(2 + 2),bar # prints foo,4,bar
```
- Bare word interpolation expands for external command head/args:
```nushell
let name = "exa"
~/.cargo/bin/($name) # this works, and expands the tilde
^$"~/.cargo/bin/($name)" # this doesn't expand the tilde
^echo ~/($name)/* # this glob is expanded
^echo $"~/($name)/*" # this isn't expanded
```
- Ndots are now supported for the head of an external command
(`^.../foo` works)
- Glob values are now supported for head/args of an external command,
and expanded appropriately:
```nushell
^("~/.cargo/bin/exa" | into glob) # the tilde is expanded
^echo ("*.txt" | into glob) # this glob is expanded
```
- `run-external` now works more like any other command, without
expecting a special call convention
for its args:
```nushell
run-external echo "'foo'"
# before PR: 'foo'
# after PR: foo
run-external echo "*.txt"
# before PR: (glob is expanded)
# after PR: *.txt
```
# Tests + Formatting
Lots of tests added and cleaned up. Some tests that weren't active on
Windows changed to use `nu --testbin cococo` so that they can work.
Added a test for Linux only to make sure tilde expansion of commands
works, because changing `HOME` there causes `~` to reliably change.

# After Submitting

supported
# Description
Fixes#13016 and adds tests for many variations of external call
parsing.
I just realized @kubouch took a crack at this too (#13022) so really
whichever is better, but I think the
tests are a good addition.
# Description
Continuing from #12568, this PR further reduces the size of `Expr` from
64 to 40 bytes. It also reduces `Expression` from 128 to 96 bytes and
`Type` from 32 to 24 bytes.
This was accomplished by:
- for `Expr` with multiple fields (e.g., `Expr::Thing(A, B, C)`),
merging the fields into new AST struct types and then boxing this struct
(e.g. `Expr::Thing(Box<ABC>)`).
- replacing `Vec<T>` with `Box<[T]>` in multiple places. `Expr`s and
`Expression`s should rarely be mutated, if at all, so this optimization
makes sense.
By reducing the size of these types, I didn't notice a large performance
improvement (at least compared to #12568). But this PR does reduce the
memory usage of nushell. My config is somewhat light so I only noticed a
difference of 1.4MiB (38.9MiB vs 37.5MiB).

# Description
When implementing a `Command`, one must also import all the types
present in the function signatures for `Command`. This makes it so that
we often import the same set of types in each command implementation
file. E.g., something like this:
```rust
use nu_protocol::ast::Call;
use nu_protocol::engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack};
use nu_protocol::{
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, PipelineData,
ShellError, Signature, Span, Type, Value,
};
```
This PR adds the `nu_engine::command_prelude` module which contains the
necessary and commonly used types to implement a `Command`:
```rust
// command_prelude.rs
pub use crate::CallExt;
pub use nu_protocol::{
ast::{Call, CellPath},
engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack},
record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, IntoSpanned,
PipelineData, Record, ShellError, Signature, Span, Spanned, SyntaxShape, Type, Value,
};
```
This should reduce the boilerplate needed to implement a command and
also gives us a place to track the breadth of the `Command` API. I tried
to be conservative with what went into the prelude modules, since it
might be hard/annoying to remove items from the prelude in the future.
Let me know if something should be included or excluded.
# Description
The PR overhauls how IO redirection is handled, allowing more explicit
and fine-grain control over `stdout` and `stderr` output as well as more
efficient IO and piping.
To summarize the changes in this PR:
- Added a new `IoStream` type to indicate the intended destination for a
pipeline element's `stdout` and `stderr`.
- The `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are stored in the `Stack` and to
avoid adding 6 additional arguments to every eval function and
`Command::run`. The `stdout` and `stderr` streams can be temporarily
overwritten through functions on `Stack` and these functions will return
a guard that restores the original `stdout` and `stderr` when dropped.
- In the AST, redirections are now directly part of a `PipelineElement`
as a `Option<Redirection>` field instead of having multiple different
`PipelineElement` enum variants for each kind of redirection. This
required changes to the parser, mainly in `lite_parser.rs`.
- `Command`s can also set a `IoStream` override/redirection which will
apply to the previous command in the pipeline. This is used, for
example, in `ignore` to allow the previous external command to have its
stdout redirected to `Stdio::null()` at spawn time. In contrast, the
current implementation has to create an os pipe and manually consume the
output on nushell's side. File and pipe redirections (`o>`, `e>`, `e>|`,
etc.) have precedence over overrides from commands.
This PR improves piping and IO speed, partially addressing #10763. Using
the `throughput` command from that issue, this PR gives the following
speedup on my setup for the commands below:
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| --------------------------- | -------------:| ------------:|
-----------:|
| `throughput o> /dev/null` | 1169 | 52938 | 54305 |
| `throughput \| ignore` | 840 | 55438 | N/A |
| `throughput \| null` | Error | 53617 | N/A |
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 1165 | 3049 | 3736 |
| `(throughput) \| rg 'x'` | 810 | 3085 | 3815 |
(Numbers above are the median samples for throughput)
This PR also paves the way to refactor our `ExternalStream` handling in
the various commands. For example, this PR already fixes the following
code:
```nushell
^sh -c 'echo -n "hello "; sleep 0; echo "world"' | find "hello world"
```
This returns an empty list on 0.90.1 and returns a highlighted "hello
world" on this PR.
Since the `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are available to commands
when they are run, then this unlocks the potential for more convenient
behavior. E.g., the `find` command can disable its ansi highlighting if
it detects that the output `IoStream` is not the terminal. Knowing the
output streams will also allow background job output to be redirected
more easily and efficiently.
# User-Facing Changes
- External commands returned from closures will be collected (in most
cases):
```nushell
1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print a" }
```
This gives `["a", "a"]` on this PR, whereas this used to print "a\na\n"
and then return an empty list.
```nushell
1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print -e a" }
```
This gives `["", ""]` and prints "a\na\n" to stderr, whereas this used
to return an empty list and print "a\na\n" to stderr.
- Trailing new lines are always trimmed for external commands when
piping into internal commands or collecting it as a value. (Failure to
decode the output as utf-8 will keep the trailing newline for the last
binary value.) In the current nushell version, the following three code
snippets differ only in parenthesis placement, but they all also have
different outputs:
1. `1..2 | each { ^echo a }`
```
a
a
╭────────────╮
│ empty list │
╰────────────╯
```
2. `1..2 | each { (^echo a) }`
```
╭───┬───╮
│ 0 │ a │
│ 1 │ a │
╰───┴───╯
```
3. `1..2 | (each { ^echo a })`
```
╭───┬───╮
│ 0 │ a │
│ │ │
│ 1 │ a │
│ │ │
╰───┴───╯
```
But in this PR, the above snippets will all have the same output:
```
╭───┬───╮
│ 0 │ a │
│ 1 │ a │
╰───┴───╯
```
- All existing flags on `run-external` are now deprecated.
- File redirections now apply to all commands inside a code block:
```nushell
(nu -c "print -e a"; nu -c "print -e b") e> test.out
```
This gives "a\nb\n" in `test.out` and prints nothing. The same result
would happen when printing to stdout and using a `o>` file redirection.
- External command output will (almost) never be ignored, and ignoring
output must be explicit now:
```nushell
(^echo a; ^echo b)
```
This prints "a\nb\n", whereas this used to print only "b\n". This only
applies to external commands; values and internal commands not in return
position will not print anything (e.g., `(echo a; echo b)` still only
prints "b").
- `complete` now always captures stderr (`do` is not necessary).
# After Submitting
The language guide and other documentation will need to be updated.
# Description
Fixes some ignored clippy lints.
# User-Facing Changes
Changes some signatures and return types to `&dyn Command` instead of
`&Box<dyn Command`, but I believe this is only an internal change.
# Description
Both `Block` and `Pipeline` had `Index`/`IndexMut` implementations to
access their elements, that are currently unused.
Explicit helpers or iteration would generally be preferred anyways but
in the current state the inner containers are `pub` and are liberally
used. (Sometimes with potentially panicking indexing or also iteration)
As it is potentially unclear what the meaning of the element from a
block or pipeline queried by a usize is, let's remove it entirely until
we come up with a better API.
# User-Facing Changes
None
Plugin authors shouldn't dig into AST internals
# Description
This PR fixes#9702 on the side of parse. I.e. input/output types in
signature and type annotations in `let` now should correctly parse with
type annotations that contain commas and spaces:
# User-Facing Changes
Return values and let type annotations now can contain stuff like
`table<a: int b: record<c: string d: datetime>>` e.t.c
- fixes#10083
# Description
nushell crashes in the following 2 condition:
- `let a = {}` , then delete `{`
- `let a = | {}`, then delete `{`
When delete `{` the pipeline becomes empty but current `nu-parser`
assume they are non-empty. This pr adds extra empty check to avoid
crash.

# Description
This PR removes the compile-time overload system. Unfortunately, this
system never worked correctly because in a gradual type system where
types can be `Any`, you don't have enough information to correctly
resolve function calls with overloads. These resolutions must be done at
runtime, if they're supported.
That said, there's a bit of work that needs to go into resolving
input/output types (here overloads do not execute separate commands, but
the same command and each overload explains how each output type
corresponds to input types).
This PR also removes the type scope, which would give incorrect answers
in cases where multiple subexpressions were used in a pipeline.
# User-Facing Changes
Finishes removing compile-time overloads. These were only used in a few
places in the code base, but it's possible it may impact user code. I'll
mark this as breaking change so we can review.

# Description
This PR does a few things to help improve type hovers and, in the
process, fixes a few outstanding issues in the type system. Here's a
list of the changes:
* `for` now will try to infer the type of the iteration variable based
on the expression it's given. This fixes things like `for x in [1, 2, 3]
{ }` where `x` now properly gets the int type.
* Removed old input/output type fields from the signature, focuses on
the vec of signatures. Updated a bunch of dataframe commands that hadn't
moved over. This helps tie things together a bit better
* Fixed inference of types from subexpressions to use the last
expression in the block
* Fixed handling of explicit types in `let` and `mut` calls, so we now
respect that as the authoritative type
I also tried to add `def` input/output type inference, but unfortunately
we only know the predecl types universally, which means we won't have
enough information to properly know what the types of the custom
commands are.
# User-Facing Changes
Script typechecking will get tighter in some cases
Hovers should be more accurate in some cases that previously resorted to
any.

# Description
_Fixes #5923_
Currently `nushell` doesn't allow short flag batches to contain
arguments, despite this being a common pattern in commands like `git
commit -am 'My commit message'`. This PR relaxes this so that the last
flag in the batch can take an argument.
# User-Facing Changes
- `nu::parser::short_flag_arg_cant_take_arg` has been replaced by
`nu::parser::only_last_flag_in_batch_can_take_arg` and is displayed when
a flag other then the last in a short flag batch takes an argument.
# Tests + Formatting
- Both
[`test_parser.rs`](48af0ebc3c/crates/nu-parser/tests/test_parser.rs (L640-L704))
and
[`test_known_external.rs`](48af0ebc3c/src/tests/test_known_external.rs (L42-L61))
have been updated to test the new allowed and disallowed scenarios.

help: Try add || to the beginning of closure
```
`with-env`, `do`, `def`, `try` are special, they still remain the same,
although it says that it accepts a closure, but they don't need to be
written like `{||`, it's more likely a block but can capture variable
outside of scope:
```
❯ def test [input] { echo [0 1 2] | do { do { echo $input } } }; test aaa
aaa
```
Just realize that It's a big breaking change, we need to update config
and scripts...
# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
# After Submitting

This is a follow up from https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/7540.
Please provide feedback if you have the time!
## Summary
This PR lets you use `?` to indicate that a member in a cell path is
optional and Nushell should return `null` if that member cannot be
accessed.
Unlike the previous PR, `?` is now a _postfix_ modifier for cell path
members. A cell path of `.foo?.bar` means that `foo` is optional and
`bar` is not.
`?` does _not_ suppress all errors; it is intended to help in situations
where data has "holes", i.e. the data types are correct but something is
missing. Type mismatches (like trying to do a string path access on a
date) will still fail.
### Record Examples
```bash
{ foo: 123 }.foo # returns 123
{ foo: 123 }.bar # errors
{ foo: 123 }.bar? # returns null
{ foo: 123 } | get bar # errors
{ foo: 123 } | get bar? # returns null
{ foo: 123 }.bar.baz # errors
{ foo: 123 }.bar?.baz # errors because `baz` is not present on the result from `bar?`
{ foo: 123 }.bar.baz? # errors
{ foo: 123 }.bar?.baz? # returns null
```

# Breaking changes
1. Column names with `?` in them now need to be quoted.
2. The `-i`/`--ignore-errors` flag has been removed from `get` and
`select`
1. After this PR, most `get` error handling can be done with `?` and/or
`try`/`catch`.
4. Cell path accesses like this no longer work without a `?`:
```bash
〉[{a:1 b:2} {a:3}].b.0
2
```
We had some clever code that was able to recognize that since we only
want row `0`, it's OK if other rows are missing column `b`. I removed
that because it's tricky to maintain, and now that query needs to be
written like:
```bash
〉[{a:1 b:2} {a:3}].b?.0
2
```
I think the regression is acceptable for now. I plan to do more work in
the future to enable streaming of cell path accesses, and when that
happens I'll be able to make `.b.0` work again.

# Description
Added a few syntax errors in ints and strings, changed parser to stop
and show that error rather than continue trying to parse those tokens as
some other shape. However, I don't see how to push this direction much
further, and most of the classic confusing errors can't be changed.
Flagged as WIP for the moment, but passes all checks and works better
than current release:
1. I have yet to figure out how to make these errors refer back to the
book, as I see some other errors do.
2. How to give syntax error when malformed int is first token in line?
Currently parsed as external command, user gets confusing error message.
3. Would like to be more strict with *decimal* int literals (lacking,
e.g, `0x' prefix). Need to tinker more with the order of parse shape
calls, currently, float is tried after int, so '1.4' has to be passed.

Malformed unicode escape in string, flagged as error.
String parse can be opinionated, it's the last shape tried.
```bash

A *correct* number in first token would be evaluated, but an *incorrect*
one is treated as external command? Confusing to users.
```bash
〉0 + 0x22bogus
Error:
× Invalid syntax
╭─[entry #5:1:1]
1 │ 0 + 0x22bogus
· ────┬────

Can give syntax error if token is unambiguously int literal. e.g has 0b
or 0x prefix, could not be a float.
```bash
〉0 + 098bogus
Error: nu::parser::unsupported_operation (link)
× Types mismatched for operation.
╭─[entry #6:1:1]

help: Change int or string to be the right types and try again.
```
But *decimal* literal (no prefix) can't be too strict. Parser is going
to try float later. So '1.4' must be passed.
# User-Facing Changes
First and foremost, more specific error messages for typos in string and
int literals. Probably improves interactive user experience.
But a script that was causing and then checking for specific error might
notice a different error message.

# Description
Lint: `clippy::uninlined_format_args`
More readable in most situations.
(May be slightly confusing for modifier format strings
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/index.html#formatting-parameters)
Alternative to #7865
# User-Facing Changes
None intended
# Tests + Formatting
(Ran `cargo +stable clippy --fix --workspace -- -A clippy::all -D
clippy::uninlined_format_args` to achieve this. Depends on Rust `1.67`)
# Description
Support extended unicode escapes in strings with same syntax as Rust:
`"\u{6e}"`.
# User-Facing Changes
New syntax in string literals, `\u{NNNNNN}`, to go along with the
existing `\uNNNN`.
New syntax accepts 1-6 hex digits and rejects values greater than
0x10FFFF (max Unicode char)..
_(List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This helps
us keep track of breaking changes.)_
Won't break existing scripts, since this is new syntax.
We might consider deprecating `char -u`, since users can now embed
unicode chars > 0xFFFF with the new escape.

# Description
This PR makes changes that allow underscores in numbers.
Example:
```nu
# allows underscores to be placed arbitrarily to enhance readability.
let pi = 3.1415_9265_3589_793
# works with integers
let num = 1_000_000_000_000
let fav_color = 0x68_9d_6a
```
I have changed `assert!(a == b)` calls to `assert_eq!(a, b)`, which give
better error messages. Similarly for `assert!(a != b)` and
`assert_ne!(a, b)`. Basically all instances were comparing primitives
(string slices or integers), so there is no loss of generality from
special-case macros,
I have also fixed a number of typos in comments, variable names, and a
few user-facing messages.
