Summary
Given a statement like:
When we go to parenthesize the target of the assignment, we use
maybe_parenthesize_expression
withParenthesize::IfBreaks
. This then checks if the call on the right-hand side needs to be parenthesized, the implementation of which looks like:Checking for
self.func.needs_parentheses(self.into(), context)
is problematic, since, as in the example above,self.func
may already be parenthesized -- in which case, we don't want to parenthesize the entire expression. If we do, we end up with this non-ideal formatting:This PR modifies the
NeedsParentheses
implementations for call chain expressions to returnNever
if the inner expression has its own parentheses, in which case, the formatting implementations for those expressions will preserve them anyway.Closes #7370.
