refactor: share one SQL lexer between the rewriter and the drivers - #257
Conversation
Closes #249. The MySQL lexing rules lived twice: rewriteMySQLSQL turned ? into %s at IR build time, and the driver re-scanned the emitted text to order the arguments of a reused sqlc.slice. Keeping the two in step was a non-local invariant, and it broke twice during review. The rewriter now reports each bind slot as a by-product of the pass it already makes, transform carries them on Query.Placeholders, and the driver consumes that order instead of scanning: placeholderSequence, scanQuotedRegion, sliceMarker and the seven lexing fields of placeholderStyle are gone, along with one param-expansion wrapper that existed only to pass a placeholder style. The MySQL bind order is now derived from the raw text, where ? is unambiguous, so the %s-versus-%% disambiguation disappears with it. Two bugs this makes impossible rather than unlikely: - A ? inside a backtick or bracket identifier counted as a bind slot on the sqlite family, misordering a reused slice's arguments; the single scanner skips both quotings. - A % in a slice name was doubled in the SQL but not in the marker the generated code replaces, so the expansion silently matched nothing. The marker text is carried rather than rebuilt from the raw name. Generated output is unchanged: all nine fixture trees regenerate byte-identically.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds a shared dialect-aware SQL lexer for MySQL and SQLite. MySQL rewriting and driver slice expansion now use scanned slot metadata. Slice markers preserve quoted identifiers and escaped percent signs. SQLite, MySQL, and Turso query generation uses dialect-specific expansion rules. Lexer, driver, and fixture tests cover ordering and lexical edge cases. Configuration checksums, documentation, changelog data, and IDE ignore rules were updated. Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The refactor centralizes SQL placeholder scanning and fixes edge cases that could misorder reused slices or silently prevent percent-containing slice names from expanding. Merge should pause for explicit owner acceptance or a guard against zero-value dialects that can hang the scanner; committed IDE workspace metadata also exposes local paths and should be removed or accepted. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3 | ❌ 2❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)

Replaces the bind-order-on-the-IR approach with a shared lexer, per review preference: the rules for telling a bindable placeholder from one inside a string, identifier or comment now live in one package that both the MySQL rewriter and the drivers' slice ordering scan through, instead of being restated on each side of the package boundary. Dialect keeps its fields unexported and the package exports only MySQLRaw, MySQLPyformat and SQLite, so a call site cannot assemble rules the producer of the text never used - the failure mode a plain flag struct would still allow. MySQLPyformat also undoes the rewriter's percent doubling when it reads a slice name back out, so the name still matches the parameter sqlc reported. model.Query is untouched again; psycopg keeps its own lexer, having no second consumer to stay in step with. Both bugs found while researching the refactor stay fixed: a ? inside a backtick or bracket identifier no longer counts as a bind slot on the sqlite family, and a slice name containing % keeps a marker that matches the SQL constant, because the driver takes the marker from the scanned span instead of rebuilding it. Generated output is unchanged - all nine fixture trees regenerate byte-identically.

Review of the lexer package found the degradation mode had got worse,
not better: slotMarkerText returned an empty string when no scanned
slot matched, and Python's str.replace("") PREPENDS its argument, so
the placeholder list would be spliced onto the front of the statement.
The old code rebuilt the marker from the name and degraded to a no-op
replace instead. The rebuild is back, as a fallback behind the scanned
text, so the percent-in-a-name fix is unaffected.
Also from that review: the rewriter takes its token from
MySQLPyformat.Placeholder() rather than repeating the literal, the
argument expansion only scans when a slice parameter is actually
present (it was lexing PostgreSQL text under SQLite rules and throwing
the result away), and the span-tiling test asserts the spans reach the
end of the input - the old comparison could not fail.

Dialect keeps its fields unexported, but the type is exported, so any caller can construct the zero value - and an empty placeholder matched strings.HasPrefix at every position, so the scan never advanced. Both the placeholder and the slice-marker branches now require a placeholder to exist; a dialect without one reports no bindable tokens while its spans still tile the input, so a rewriter driven by them cannot drop bytes. Also drops a stale comment left beside the reconstructed-marker test case.
Closes #249.
The MySQL lexing rules lived in two places:
rewriteMySQLSQLdecided which?was bindable while rewriting to pyformat, and the driver decided the same thing again when ordering the arguments of a reusedsqlc.slice. Keeping the two in step was a non-local invariant, and it broke twice during the MySQL PR review (odd-length dash runs, and the\rline-end rule).Those rules now live in
internal/sqllex, which both sides scan through.Dialectkeeps its fields unexported and the package exports onlyMySQLRaw,MySQLPyformatandSQLite, so a call site picks a named dialect instead of assembling flags - it cannot lex with rules the producer of that text never used. The two MySQL dialects are defined together because they describe the same grammar either side of the rewrite: the rewriter reads the first, every consumer of its output reads the second.MySQLPyformatalso undoes the rewriter's percent doubling when it reads a slice name back out, so the name still matches the parameter sqlc reported.model.Queryis unchanged. psycopg keeps its own lexer: PostgreSQL has nosqlc.slice, so there is no second consumer for it to stay in step with.Two bugs fixed along the way
Both were found while researching the refactor (~100
sqlc generateprobes plus a differential fuzz of the two old lexers), and both are reproduced end to end:?inside a backtick or bracket identifier counted as a bind slot on the sqlite family, misordering a reused slice -*ids, *ids, vinstead of*ids, v, *ids%in a slice name was doubled in the SQL constant but not in the marker the generated code replaces, so the expansion silently matched nothingThe fuzz also confirmed the two old MySQL lexers agreed on every reachable input, so this is regression prevention rather than a live MySQL fix.
Validation
Generated output is unchanged: all nine fixture trees regenerate byte-identically under
sqlc diff. Go suite and golangci-lint clean, ruff and pyright clean, and the full runtime suite (4444 tests) passes against live MySQL 9 and PostgreSQL 18.One shape found during the research is out of scope and filed as #258:
sqlc.slicecombined with a reused numbered parameter binds wrongly on SQLite. It predates this work (the old scanner behaved identically) and needs a decision about how slices expand, not a lexer change.
