analyzer 0.35.0

Static analyzer for Dart.

0.35.0

• Added support in the AST structure for the control_flow_collections and spread_collections experiments. This includes adding new visitor methods to AstVisitor, which will need to be implemented by any classes that implement AstVisitor directly. Concrete implementations were added to other visitor classes (such as RecursiveAstVisitor) so that clients that extend those other classes will not be impacted.
• Removed EMPTY_LIST constants. Please use const <...>[] instead.
• Disabled support for the task model. Please use the new AnalysisSession API.
• Removed StrongTypeSystemImpl. Please use Dart2TypeSystem instead.
• Made ERROR the default severity for StaticWarningCode. We no longer need to promote warnings to errors in "strong mode" because strong mode is the only mode.
• Added exact type analysis for set literals (#35742).
• Bug fixes: #35305, #35750.

0.34.3

• Non-breaking AST changes in support for the control_flow_collections and spread_collections experiments. Clients who wish to begin adding support for these experiments can depend on this release of the analyzer and begin writing visit methods. The visit methods won't be added to the AstVisitor base class until 0.35.0.
• Bug fixes: #35551, #35708, #35723.

0.34.2

• Removed support for the @checked annotation. Please use the covariant keyword instead (#28797).
• Did additional work on the new set_literals and constant_update_2018 features.
• Began adding a string representation of initializer expressions to summaries (#35418).
• Added a pub aware workspace so that pub packages can be handled properly.
• Added logging in an effort to track down #35551.
• Split off DEPRECATED_MEMBER_USE_FROM_SAME_PACKAGE from DEPRECATED_MEMBER_USE (#30084).
• Removed the unused hint code INVALID_ASSIGNMENT.
• Added a hint enforcing the contract of @literal: NON_CONST_CALL_TO_LITERAL_CONSTRUCTOR.
• Added a hint INVALID_LITERAL_ANNOTATION (#34259).
• Fixed handling of @immutable on mixins.
• Did work on @sealed annotation for classes and mixins.
• Bug fixes: #25860, #29394, #33930, #35090, #35441, #35458, #35467, #35548.

0.34.1

• Added logic to report a hint if a deprecated lint is specified in the user's analysis_options.yaml file, or if a lint is specified twice.
• Added a note to the UriResolver documentation alerting clients of an upcoming breaking change.
• Improved parser recovery.
• Speculative work on fine-grained dependency tracking (not yet enabled).
• Initial support for new language features set_literals and constant_update_2018.

• Added AnalysisDriver.resetUriResolution().
• Deprecated TypeSystem.isStrong.
• Added WorkspacePackage classes, for determining whether two files are in the "same package."
• Added a public API for the TypeSystem class.
• Bug fixes: #33946, #35151, #35223, #35241, #35438.

0.34.0

• Support for declarations-casts has been removed and the implicit-casts option now has the combined semantics of both options. This means that users that disable implicit-casts might now see errors that were not previously being reported.
• Minor changes to the AnalysisSession and AnalysisDriver APIs to make it easier for clients to transition away from using the task model.
• Minor changes to the linter API to make it easier for lint rules to define their own lint codes.
• Add a version of getAncestor that matches by type without a closure.
• Add an AST structure for set literals.
• Bug fixes: #35162, #35230, #34733, #34741, #33553, #35090, #32815, #34387, #34495, #35043, #33553, #34906, #34489.
