@constructor - in constructor properly infer this as class instance (#25980)
* Properly infer `this` in tagged `@constructor`s.
`c.prototype.method = function() { this }` was already supported.
This commit add support to two more kinds relying on the JSDoc
`@constructor` tag. These are:
1. `/** @constructor */ function Example() { this }`
2. `/** @constructor */ var Example = function() { this }`
* Update the baseline for js constructorFunctions.
C3 and C4 `this` was set as `any`, now it is properly showing as
the class type.
* Fix lint errors
* Add circular initialisers to constructo fn tests.
* Error (`TS2348`) if calling tagged js constructors
When calling a JS function explicitly tagged with either `@class` or
`@constructor` the checker should throw a TS2348 not callable error.
* Don't resolve jsdoc classes with construct sigs.
This undoes the last commit that sought to change how js functions
tagged with `@class` were inferred. For some reason, currently
unknown, giving those functions construct signatures causes issues
in property assignment/member resolution (as seen in the
`typeFromPropertyAssignment12` test case).
Instead of changing the signature resolution, the error is explicitly
generated in `resolveCallExpression` for those functions.
TypeScript
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.
Installing
For the latest stable version:
npm install -g typescript
For our nightly builds:
npm install -g typescript@next

Documentation
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 Jake tools and dev dependencies:
npm install -g jake
npm install
Use one of the following to build and test:
jake local # Build the compiler into built/local
jake clean # Delete the built compiler
jake LKG # Replace the last known good with the built one.
# Bootstrapping step to be executed when the built compiler reaches a stable state.
jake tests # Build the test infrastructure using the built compiler.
jake 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>.
jake runtests-browser # Runs the tests using the built run.js file. Syntax is jake runtests. Optional
parameters 'host=', 'tests=[regex], reporter=[list|spec|json|<more>]'.
jake baseline-accept # This replaces the baseline test results with the results obtained from jake runtests.
jake lint # Runs tslint on the TypeScript source.
jake help # List the above commands.
Usage
node built/local/tsc.js hello.ts
