💻 Code

function bar(a: number, b?: number, c: number, ...args: string[]) {}

bar
// ^? function bar(a: number, b?: number, c: number, ...args: string[]): void

bar(1); // Expected at least 3 arguments, but got 1.(2555)

function baz(a: number, b?: number, ...args: [c: number, ...args: string[]]) {}

baz
// ^? function baz(a: number, b?: number, c: number, ...args: string[]): void

baz(1); // Expected at least 3 arguments, but got 1.(2555)

🙁 Actual behavior

We get an error within the bar declaration ("'c' is declared but its value is never read.(6133)") but we get none in baz. They are pretty much equivalent.

🙂 Expected behavior

I'd expect this error to be raised consistently here (or not raised consistently).

In addition to that, b comes with the question mark in both quick infos here. TypeScript understands that at least 3 arguments are required here. It means that effectively b is required in both cases and ? is somewhat misleading here. I think it would be good to normalize this. It already is normalized with tuples:

type A = [a: number, b?: number, ...[c: number, ...args: string[]]]
//   ^? type A = [a: number, b: number | undefined, c: number, ...args: string[]]

Additional information about the issue

No response

提供された TypeScript Playground の例から始め、bar と baz の診断を、それぞれの quick-info シグネチャを含めて比較します。未使用パラメーターの診断とオプションパラメーターの正規化を一貫させるべきかどうかを決定し、選択した動作に対するコンパイラーのカバレッジを追加または更新できれば完了です。
