Syntax error though code is valid

[dimozaprianov]

Currently the parser throws syntax error here, although it is perfectly valid lua code. When removing the newlines the parser behaves as expected.

    const ast = luaparse.parse(`
    l.v(function(v) 
    end) 
    {
    } 
    (
    )`
    )

I performed a test, the parser is correct and you are wrong, it is very much invalid Lua code, tested with LuaJIT:

luajit: test.lua:5: ambiguous syntax (function call x new statement) near '('

When removing the newlines the parser behaves as expected.

Because, that would be syntactically valid Lua code then.

Conclusion
The following is invalid Lua code:

print()
{
}
(
)

due to newlines; that's just how Lua works, luaparser works correctly in this case by throwing the same syntax error.
The following is syntactically correct Lua code and luaparser does parse it as expected:

print(){}()

Not sure what luajit you're testing. Both work fine for me on luajit 2.1.0-beta3. This code is valid. And so the issue is valid.

Seems to also work on Lua 5.3.2, 5.3.4, 5.3.5, and Lua 5.4.3 tested here.
