Problem
newis currently only recognized as the operator in C++newexpressions(e.g.,
new SomeType(args)). When used as a plain identifier — which is validCython and common in real-world code — the parser produces an error.
Example from
numpy/random/_generator.pyx#L943:Fix
Add
"new"to thekeyword_identifierrule ingrammar.js. This allowsnewto be used as an identifier at lower precedence (-3) while preservingthe existing
new_expressionrule at precedence 23 for C++new Type(args)syntax.
Changes
grammar.js: add"new"tokeyword_identifierchoice list (1 line)test/corpus/expressions.txt: add "New as identifier" test caseAll 155 tests pass (154 existing + 1 new).
