Yet more misparsing: invalid parentheses in call statements and assignments

[fstirlitz]

Each of the lines that follow is a syntax error, yet luaparse does not recognise these as such:

(a.b) = 0
(a) = 0
a:b() = 0
a() = 0
a.b:c() = 0
a[b]() = 0
(0) = 0
a, b() = 0, 0

Note, however, that the following are not (syntactical, at least) errors:

a().b = 1
({})[b] = 1
a""[b] = 1
a{}[b] = 1
({{}})[a][b] = 1
(a).b = 1
(1).a = 2 -- runtime error, unless you use debug.setmetatable

Relevant portions of the Lua 5.2 manual (essentially identical in Lua 5.0 and 5.1, and to 5.3-work2): §3.2 "Variables", §3.3.3 "Assignment", §9 "The Complete Syntax of Lua"

Thanks again felix!

Unfortunately I won't have time to look into this for quite some time. I'm leaving for a 6 month trip around the middle east and won't have access to a development machine during this time.

If you however have the time and can figure out a fix feel free to commit it. I've added you as a collaborator to the project as you are more than capable of managing it :) I trust your judgment so feel free to commit whatever else you think could help the project.

Should also add:

(a());
(a"");
(a{});

I've got some WIP code which should fix this once and for all.

Finally definitively fixed in 6c00a3a. The particular parsing mechanics (and the resulting error messages) may still change in the future, but at least all test cases fail as expected now.
