A number of CPP library tests contain `// query-type: graph`
annotations that make the test driver compare the output
from the test query in a special mode. (This feature is
not used by other languages).
It's somewhat awkward in the implementation of `codeql test run`
that this annotation is not an ordinary item of query metadata --
essentially it means that _every_ test query has to be opened
and read an extra time to look for this annotation. I'd like
to move towards using ordinary query metadata for this, since
the QL compiler already parses it anyway.
For the time being, give the annotation in both old and new
syntaxes, until a CLI that recognizes both has been released.
Surprisingly, the new parser did not support these constructs (and the
relevant test was missing this case), so on files that required the new
parser we were unable to parse this construct.
To fix it, we add `list_pattern` (not to be confused with
`pattern_list`) as a `tree-sitter-python` node that results in a `List`
node in the AST.
Turns out, `except*` is actually not a token on its own according to the
Python grammar. This means it's legal to write `except *foo: ...`, which
we previously would consider a syntax error.
To fix it, we simply break up the `except*` into two separate tokens.
That is, the `*T` in `def foo(*args : *T): ...`.
This is apparently a piece of syntax we did not support correctly until
now.
In terms of the grammar, we simply add `list_splat` as a possible
alternative for `type` (which could previously only be an `expression`).
We also update `python.tsg` to not specify `expression` those places (as
the relevant stanzas will then not work for `list_splat`s).
This syntax is not supported by the old parser, hence we only add a new
parser test for it.
This is primarily useful for ensuring that errors where a node does not
have an appropriate context set in `python.tsg` actually have an effect
on the pass/fail status of the parser tests. Previously, these would
just be logged to stdout, but test could still succeed when there were
errors present.
Also fixes one of the logging lines in `tsg_parser.py` to be more
consistent with the others.
