Paul Berry 97edad1568 Flow analysis: Use extension type erasure for implicit is reachability.
Whenever a pattern performs an implicit `is` test, flow analysis
attempts to determine whether the `is` test is guaranteed to succeed;
if it is, then flow analysis considers the code path in which the `is`
test fails to be unreachable. This allows flow analysis to recognize
switch statements that are trivially exhaustive (because one of the
cases is guaranteed to match), avoiding spurious errors such as
"variable must be assigned before use" or "missing return statement".

This change upgrades the logic for computing when an `is` test is
guaranteed to succeed, so that it accounts for type erasure of
extension types. This brings flow analysis's treatment of switch
statements into closer alignment with the exhaustiveness checker,
which should reduce the risk of confusing error messages. For more
information see

Dart

An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.

  • Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
