```js
for (;;);
function f() {}
```
The `;` was dropped meaning that the line right after was executed within the for loop which is not correct.
I tried to return `;` but it looks like
```js
for (;;)
;
```
which looks super weird so I ended up printing `{}` which looks like
```js
for (;;) {}
```
The current implementation with `JSON.stringify()` is clever but unfortunately generates incorrect JavaScript. Using `jsesc` seems like a better and safer option. https://github.com/mathiasbynens/jsesc It doesn't have any dependencies and is pretty small.
I opted for escaping all the non ascii characters, so we don't display emojis anymore. I don't think that the world is ready yet for having random unicode characters inside of source files, there still are so many parts of the toolchain that breaks with them. If we want to revert back on this decision, there's a `minimal` option on jsesc which only escapes values that need to in order to generate valid JavaScript file (assuming the encoding of the file is set to utf8).
Also, while working on React Native, we've seen that there is an optimization inside of jsc for js files that are all ascii: it doesn't do a copy for the conversion to ucs16.
Fixes#163
The Nuclide codebase uses features that are still proposals which require a flag to be enabled. Babylon parses them fine without any flags.
Let's enable them by default as it doesn't cost much, you either are using those features and you don't want the parser to break, or you are not and you don't care.
After this and #218, none of the nuclide files are throwing exceptions! (yay!)
There's a handful of files inside of Nuclide that throw exceptions because an assertion is raised.

When trying https://github.com/facebook/nuclide/blob/master/pkg/nuclide-task-runner/lib/main.js#L174
It throws in the fixTemplateLiteral method.
That method was added to fix https://github.com/benjamn/recast/issues/216 more than a year ago
```js
var x = {
y: () => Relay.QL`
query {
${foo},
field,
}
`
};
```
I've checked (and added a test) and it now parses and prints correctly without that method. So it should be safe to remove.
We were not printing the directives if the body of the function was empty in babylon. Also, we were printing way too many \n
```js
echo "function fn() { 'use strict'; }" | ./bin/prettier.js --stdin
function fn() {
"use strict";
}
```
```js
echo "function fn() { 'use strict'; }" | ./bin/prettier.js --stdin --flow-parser
function fn() {
"use strict";
}
```
Babylon has a bug where it doesn't escape DirectiveLiteral properly. Except for `'use strict';`, this never happens in real world code, so let's put strings in a array in order to workaround this bug and have the same output on both parsers.
https://github.com/babel/babylon/issues/289
DeclareInterface (flow) and InterfaceDeclaration (babylon) are the same type so should behave the same way. I am using the same `declare` trick where I only add it if you are inside of a `declare module` block.
Flow doesn't have a different ast node for `type` and `declare type`. Let's always use the heuristic to be inside of a `declare module` for both ast. This way more snapshot tests are passing between the two parsers.
The search for an empty line incorrectly does +1 which happens to be skipping a `\n`, but in case of windows line endings it skips the `\r` but sees a `\n` afterwards and incorrectly assumes that it is a empty line.
This doesn't change the behavior of doing +1 when there's not a line ending. Making it correct actually triggers a bunch of changes, where half of them are better and half of them regressions. So I'm going to send another pull request to fix that case.
Another issue where babylon and flow ast are different. In babylon, it is NumericLiteral but flow is Literal. All the tests are running on flow so were working correctly, but the default in the command line is to use babylon, so people report bugs with it.
