The antlr-based SpEL expression grammar file (SpringExpressions.g) was
introduced during initial development and prototyping of the Spring
Expression language; however, it was quickly abandoned in favor of a
handcrafted implementation. Consequently, it has become obsolete over
time and has never been actively maintained.
This commit therefore removes the obsolete SpEL expression grammar file.

Attempting to create a large array in a SpEL expression can result in
an OutOfMemoryError. Although the JVM recovers from that, the error
message is not very helpful to the user.
This commit improves the diagnostics in SpEL for large array creation
by throwing a SpelEvaluationException with a meaningful error message
in order to improve diagnostics for the user.
Closes gh-28145
Prior to this commit, SpEL was able to recover from an error that
occurred while running a CompiledExpression; however, SpEL was not able
to recover from an error that occurred while compiling the expression
(such as a java.lang.VerifyError). The latter can occur when multiple
threads concurrently change types involved in the expression, such as
the concrete type of a custom variable registered via
EvaluationContext.setVariable(...), which can result in SpEL generating
invalid bytecode.
This commit addresses this issue by catching exceptions thrown while
compiling an expression and updating the `failedAttempts` and
`interpretedCount` counters accordingly. If an exception is caught
while operating in SpelCompilerMode.IMMEDIATE mode, the exception will
be propagated via a SpelEvaluationException with a new
SpelMessage.EXCEPTION_COMPILING_EXPRESSION error category.

The test case is intended to be for the method 'withRootObject()', but
actually it's copied from the previous test method that does not use
'withRootObject()'.
This commit fixes the propertyReadWriteWithRootObject() test method in
PropertyAccessTests.

This commit replaces the use of Collections.unmodifiableList/Set/Map
with the corresponding 'of(...)' factory methods introduced in Java 9.

Prior to this commit, if a single null value was passed to a method with
a varargs array of type java.util.Optional, that null value was passed
unmodified. On the contrary, a null passed with additional values to
such a method resulted in the null being converted to Optional.empty().
This commit ensures that a single null value is also converted to
Optional.empty() for such SpEL expressions.
Closes gh-27795
A regression was introduced in gh-27582. Specifically, when null is
supplied as the single argument for a varargs parameter in a method or
function in a SpEL expression, ReflectionHelper currently throws a
NullPointerException instead of leaving the null value unchanged.
This commit fixes this regression.
Closes gh-27719
Prior to this commit, the SpEL relational operators for comparison
would have the following problem:
* their implementation would claim that incompatible types
could be compared and later fail during comparison
* not delegate the comparison to the actual `TypeComparator`
implementation but rely on operator specifics
This commit ensures that the `TypeComparator` implementation is used for
both `canCompare` and `compare` calls in the operators.
See gh-1581
Prior to this commit, if a SpEL expression invoked a method or
registered function that declares a String varargs argument, there were
sometimes issues with converting the input arguments into the varargs
array argument. Specifically, if the expression supplied a single
String argument containing a comma for the varargs (such as "a,b"),
SpEL's ReflectionHelper.convertArguments() method incorrectly converted
that single String to an array via the ConversionService, which
indirectly converted that String using the StringToArrayConverter,
which converts a comma-delimited String to an array. Thus, "a,b"
effectively got converted to a two-dimensional array ["a", "b"] instead
of simply ["a,b"].
This commit fixes this bug by avoiding use of the TypeConverter and
ConversionService for single arguments supplied as varargs when the
single argument's type matches the varargs array component type.

This commit also applies additional clean-up tasks such as the following.
- final fields
This commit also makes use of java.lang.String.repeat(int) in OptMultiply.
This has only been applied to `src/main/java`.
In order to be able to use text blocks and other new Java language
features, we are upgrading to a recent version of Checkstyle.
The latest version of spring-javaformat-checkstyle (0.0.28) is built
against Checkstyle 8.32 which does not include support for language
features such as text blocks. Support for text blocks was added in
Checkstyle 8.36.
In addition, there is a binary compatibility issue between
spring-javaformat-checkstyle 0.0.28 and Checkstyle 8.42. Thus we cannot
use Checkstyle 8.42 or higher.
In this commit, we therefore upgrade to spring-javaformat-checkstyle
0.0.28 and downgrade to Checkstyle 8.41.
This change is being applied to `5.3.x` as well as `main` in order to
benefit from the enhanced checking provided in more recent versions of
Checkstyle.

To slightly improve performance, this commit switches to
StringBuilder.append(char) instead of StringBuilder.append(String)
whenever we append a single character to a StringBuilder.

This commit allows the spring-expression module to be more easily repackaged
for embedding in third-party JARs -- for example, via the Shadow Gradle plugin.
