There are only 10 instances of ++x in our codebase, compared with over 500 instances of x++. The stlye guide has no opinion on which to use, nor do I. But the lack of consistency was making regex searches for bugs more difficult.
Our files are up to a decade old, and have churned so much, that the initial author of the file no longer has much meaning.
Furthermore, this will encourage developers to post to the developer group, rather than emailing Googlers (usually me) directly.
* Google changed from an Inc to an LLC.
This happened back in 2017 but we didn’t notice. Officially we should update files from Inc to LLC when they are changed as part of regular edits, but this is a nightmare to remember for the next decade.
* Remove project description/titles from licenses
This is no longer part of Google’s header requirements. Our existing descriptions were useless (“Visual Blocks Editor”) or grossly obselete (“Visual Blocks Language”).
* License no longer requires URL.
* Fix license regexps.
This allows generators to have more control over the placement of suffix. Needed for ‘if’ blocks and function calls which require their suffix code to be somewhere other than the end.
Also, add loop’s prefix to ‘break’ blocks, since the loop’s suffix will be the next statement hit.
Also, reuse procedures_callreturn generator for procedures_callnoreturn.
* Adds message references to message string interpolation, in the form of %{BKY_STRING}.
* Re-adding CONTROLS_IFELSE block using the new syntax, referencing to CONTROL_IF equivalents.
Adding controls_ifelse, an if/else block that is loaded from JSON and does not use mutators. This gives "else" capability to Android & iOS implementations, which don't support JavaScript mutators.
Added this block to the playground simple toolbox and all generators.
This is based on the JS generator, with a lot of inspiration from Ellen
Spertus's blockly-lua: https://github.com/espertus/blockly-lua
All unit tests pass with Lua 5.3.2.
