~~Bonus: replace undefined == null and null != null with !0 and !1, respectively.~~

Tests included.

this should be already taken care of by constant-folding plugin. This plugin should not worry about these folding constants.

It doesn’t appear to handle this. Are you saying that I should move it there?

That can be fixed in path.evaluate of babel if that doesn't handle it. Or it's an ordering issue of who runs first - #61 #422.

I could add void 0 to isNull.

How does that sound @boopathi?

I meant this entire replacement shouldn't be a part of this plugin. It should be handled in path.evaluate of babel.

@boopathi done.

xtuc · 2017-06-12T07:56:47Z

I'm wondering if we can do this, isn't it unsafe? null and undefined are not equal.

j-f1 · 2017-06-12T09:35:21Z

@xtuc null and undefined are double-equals equal, not triple-equals equal.

void 0 will not be transformed.

boopathi · 2017-06-13T10:22:58Z

Can you add some tests for this ?

j-f1 · 2017-06-13T10:39:25Z

@boopathi Are you assuming in babili that people won’t do void someFunctionWithSideEffects()?

j-f1 · 2017-06-13T10:51:19Z

@boopathi Tests restored.

boopathi · 2017-06-13T12:55:23Z

Constant-folding plugin should take care of folding constants. void foo() should be a deopt anyway here. It should check only for void x where pathOfX.isPure() is true.

boopathi · 2017-08-14T22:37:21Z

Just a few thoughts on this -

Should it go into comparison-operators?
Since this is an unsafe transformation, it's better to put this entire transformation behind an option - undefinedToNull or voidToNull or anything else relevant.
Update tests to use thePlugin
t.isIdentifier("undefined") check should also check for bindings in the scope path.scope.getBinding("undefined") there is a defined undefined.

j-f1 · 2017-08-14T23:23:22Z

@boopathi

👍
I don’t think it’s unsafe. Why do you think it’s unsafe?

xtuc · 2017-08-17T07:38:09Z

it's safe since Replace x != undefined with x != null #572 (comment) (see Equality_comparisons_and_sameness)

j-f1 · 2017-08-17T11:51:49Z

@boopathi

It’s already in comparison-operators.

boopathi · 2017-08-17T12:00:56Z

My question is whether it should go into comparison operators, or should it go into simplify. IMO, Comparison operators simplifies the operator used without changing the operands.

+  function undefinedToNull(path) {
+    if (isRealUndefined(path) || isPureVoid(path)) {
+      path.replaceWith(t.nullLiteral());
+      return true;


is this return true / false required? I don't see it used anywhere for conditional check.

Removed 🔥

+  function isRealUndefined(path) {
+    return (
+      path.isIdentifier({ name: "undefined" }) &&
+      !path.scope.getBinding("undefined")


why is this check required?. Even if someone does

var undefined = 'blah';

Its a read only property and does not impact our null conversion.

@boopathi said:

t.isIdentifier("undefined") check should also check for bindings in the scope path.scope.getBinding("undefined") there is a defined undefined.

/cc @boopathi Any reason why the check is needed? Am i missing some edge case?

function foo(undefined) { return undefined == void 0 } foo("bar"); // true or false ?

true even if undefined or both are converted to null

> function foo(undefined) { return undefined == void 0 } > foo("bar"); // true or false ? // false

okay got it 👍

boopathi · 2017-08-18T22:14:56Z

It's not immediately obvious that this goes into comparison-operators plugin. This question still applies -

j-f1 · 2017-08-26T01:02:59Z

@boopathi If you’d like me to move it to simplify, I’ll gladly do so. Should I?

j-f1 · 2017-11-18T22:35:32Z

Sorry for the delay on this @boopathi 😢

I’ve moved the changes to babel-plugin-minify-simplify.

Looks like the Travis failure is unrelated. Closing and reopening to restart the build.

boopathi · 2017-12-11T21:17:02Z

@j-f1 Hi, Thanks for the PR. Right now let's concentrate on fixing the existing bugs, babel-7, improving the speed of transformations and fixing the memory issue to get it to 1.0. New set of features may delay that. I'll leave it open and postpone it to sometime later.
