Handle simple guard chains #525

...so that a second guard uses type inferred by the first one

bartekgorny commented 1 year ago

I found out that it still doesn't work as expected, will push an update soon.

done

This look good ✅

It doesn't make the mechanism complete, as there are more cases of how guards can be combined, but it's a step in the right direction, so I think it's good to merge as is.

For the context, we can have the following combinations of guards:

-module(guards).

single(A) when is_integer(A) ->
    ok.

comma(A) when is_integer(A), A > 5 ->
    ok.

semicolon(A) when is_integer(A); is_float(A) ->
    ok.

comma_semicolon(A) when is_integer(A), A > 5; is_float(A) ->
    ok.

andalso_(A) when is_integer(A) andalso A > 5 ->
    ok.

orelse_(A) when is_integer(A) orelse is_float(A) ->
    ok.

Which result in the following AST forms:

20> rp(beam_lib:chunks(guards, [debug_info])).
{ok,{guards,
        [{debug_info,
             {debug_info_v1,erl_abstract_code,

With this PR we'll be handling not only single but also comma style guards. We also match the structure of non-nested andalso or orelse guards as well as comparison operators, but they're later filtered out by the check_guard_call check.
