Wesley Wigham 1c93744a9c Much better comment preservation (#22141)
* Retain comments on (and produce sourcemaps on) the equals token in initializers

* Improved comments/sourcemaps for await, yield, while, and for

* Retain comments on block curly-braces

* Emit comments for if statements

* Improved switch case comment emit

* Improve comment and sourcemap emit for try/catch, throw, and continue statements

* Improve sourcemap emit and comments for with statements

* More accurate sourcemaps+comments emit for new, typeof, void, and delete

* Improve comment emit for element access expressions

* Preserve more comments on imports and exports

* Make function a bit more defensive like other usages of emitTrailingCommentsOfPosition

* Support preserving comments within empty lists

* Handle leading comments of tokens, conditionally indent leading comments

* Stop heuristically sourcemapping tokens

When the transform was trivial it worked, but was unneeded, but when it was complex, it was brittle - best leave source mapping up to the transformers

* Fix unneeded +1

* Tighten up element access comments

* Handle comments on parenthesized expression tokens

* Fix nit

TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types, classes, and modules to JavaScript. TypeScript supports tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS. TypeScript compiles to readable, standards-based JavaScript. Try it out at the playground, and stay up to date via our blog and Twitter account.

Building

In order to build the TypeScript compiler, ensure that you have Git and Node.js installed.

Clone a copy of the repo:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript.git

Change to the TypeScript directory:

cd TypeScript

Install Gulp tools and dev dependencies:

npm install -g gulp
npm install

Use one of the following to build and test:

gulp local            # Build the compiler into built/local 
gulp clean            # Delete the built compiler 
gulp LKG              # Replace the last known good with the built one.
                      # Bootstrapping step to be executed when the built compiler reaches a stable state.
gulp tests            # Build the test infrastructure using the built compiler. 
gulp runtests         # Run tests using the built compiler and test infrastructure. 
                      # You can override the host or specify a test for this command. 
                      # Use host=<hostName> or tests=<testPath>. 
gulp runtests-browser # Runs the tests using the built run.js file. Syntax is gulp runtests. Optional
                        parameters 'host=', 'tests=[regex], reporter=[list|spec|json|<more>]'.
gulp baseline-accept  # This replaces the baseline test results with the results obtained from gulp runtests.
gulp lint             # Runs tslint on the TypeScript source.
gulp help             # List the above commands. 

Usage

node built/local/tsc.js hello.ts
