Cannot use Java keywords as Plaid variable names #21

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

method main() {
  var do = 23;
}

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

This is a legal Plaid program and compiles without errors but the 
generated Java code is incorrect. That's because "do" is a keyword in Java 
and Plaid variable names are used without modification which leads to a 
line like "PlaidObject do = null;". Programmers should be free to choose 
any variable name that is not a Plaid keyword and get correct Java output.

Actually, this problem was already accounted for but only for field 
declarations and 
not for let bindings.
