Summary

  • allow function calls and function pipelines as positional arguments
  • add regression coverage for broadcast, scan, fold, map, and filter
  • regenerate Tree-sitter parser artifacts

Closes #52

Validation

  • focused Tree-sitter corpus: 7 passed
  • full Tree-sitter corpus: 118 passed, 4 existing Windows newline snapshot mismatches

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Function calls and pipelines can now be passed as positional arguments.
    • Higher-order operations such as broadcast, scan, fold, map, and filter support nested function expressions.
    • Array pipelines now support bare function references and nested function-call arguments.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for nested calls, function references, and piped expressions used as arguments.
    • Removed an outdated invalid-input expectation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The grammar now accepts nested open expressions as positional arguments. This supports bare function references, nested function calls, and piped expressions in higher-order operations. The generated parser, node metadata, and expression corpus reflect the new syntax.

Changes

Open expression arguments

Layer / File(s) Summary
Nested open-expression grammar
grammar.js, src/grammar.json, src/node-types.json
Positional arguments now accept open expressions that start with a function call and may include pipeline stages.
Generated parser tables
src/parser.c
The generated parser includes symbols, states, lexer modes, parse tables, and parse actions for nested open expressions.
Expression corpus coverage
test/corpus/expressions.txt, test/corpus/invalid.txt
Tests cover bare functions, nested calls, pipelines, and array pipeline arguments. The former invalid textual-argument case is removed.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6c418

The new function-argument syntax can still fail during binding for cases such as broadcast(sum), causing supported expressions to throw instead of execute. The generated node metadata should be corrected before merge; additionally, CI should use the same pinned Tree-sitter CLI as local generation to avoid parser-artifact drift.

410-419: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Add the name: field label to the new fixtures.

The new fixtures write (function_name) without the name: label. Earlier fixtures in this file assert the label, for example Lines 13, 44, and 58. Tree-sitter accepts both forms, so the tests pass either way. The labeled form asserts more, and it keeps the file consistent.

Apply the same change to the other six new fixtures at Lines 429-438, 448-457, 467-478, 488-500, 510-525, and 535-551.

459-478: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a fixture for a pipeline stage that carries arguments.

map(lower | trim) pipes two bare calls. The grammar also allows a piped stage with its own argument list, such as map(replace("a") | trim). That path exercises the interaction between the nested argument_list and the pipe repeat, and it is the case most likely to expose a table defect.

The linked issue lists nested function pipelines as required coverage. Add one fixture for this form.

map(replace("a") | trim)

Add an open_expression arm to BindExpression. Positional arguments such as broadcast(sum) currently fall through to BindValue and throw ExpressifBindingException during binding.
