Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The syntax binding now exposes typed semantic values for numeric, quoted, date, datetime, and time literals. Tests cover invariant numeric parsing, string decoding, temporal parsing, and preservation of source text.

Changes

Scalar literal semantic values

Layer / File(s) Summary
Literal value parsing and validation
bindings/csharp/Expressif.Syntax/SyntaxNodes.cs, bindings/csharp/Expressif.Syntax.Tests/SyntaxBindingTests.cs
Literal nodes now expose typed Value properties. Numeric and temporal values use invariant parsing. Double-quoted strings decode escaped quotes and backslashes. Tests cover these values while retaining source text assertions.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8fe66

The change exposes semantic numeric values, but literals outside the supported decimal range can currently produce an unexpected runtime exception instead of the documented syntax error. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness and a follow-up fix for this bounded edge case.

Microsoft .NET Decimal.Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) OverflowException value outside range

💡 Result:

In.NET, the Decimal.Parse(String, NumberStyles, IFormatProvider) method throws an OverflowException when the string representation of the number being parsed represents a value that is less than Decimal.MinValue or greater than Decimal.MaxValue [1][2]. The Decimal type in.NET has a specific range, approximately ±1.0 x 10^-28 to ±7.9 x 10^28, with a precision of 28-29 significant digits. If the input string falls outside this representable range, the method cannot convert the string to a valid Decimal and consequently throws an OverflowException [2]. To handle this scenario and avoid an unhandled exception in your code, you should consider using the Decimal.TryParse method instead [3][4]. Unlike Parse, the TryParse method returns a Boolean value indicating whether the conversion succeeded, and it places the result into an out parameter if successful, or zero if it fails [5][4]. Example of using TryParse: string value = "99999999999999999999999999999999999999"; // Example value that may exceed range if (Decimal.TryParse(value, NumberStyles.Number, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, out decimal result)) { // Conversion succeeded Console.WriteLine(result); } else { // Conversion failed (either format error or overflow) Console.WriteLine("Unable to parse the number."); }

Reject out-of-range numeric literals through the syntax-error contract.

The grammar accepts unlimited digits, but ExpressifSyntax.Parse binds numeric tokens with decimal.Parse. Therefore, "79228162514264337593543950336" throws OverflowException instead of ExpressifSyntaxException. Constrain the grammar or translate the overflow during binding. Add boundary tests.
