The Binder and its helper functions have been updated to accept and
propagate a `Diagnostics` struct. This allows for better error reporting
during the binding phase, enabling the compiler to continue processing
even after encountering errors and collect all issues before halting.
The `BoundKind::Error` node and `StaticType::Error` are introduced as
"poison" nodes/types. These nodes indicate that an error occurred during
compilation, preventing further valid processing of that specific AST
fragment but allowing the compiler to continue with other parts of the
code.
The `Parser` has also been updated to return a `Diagnostics` struct,
enabling it to report errors during the initial parsing stage while
still attempting to build a partial AST. This adheres to the same error
recovery strategy.
Introduces type specialization for reactive pipeline nodes and their
data buffers. This eliminates the overhead of generic `Value` enums and
`SharedValueSeries` when dealing with known scalar or record types.
The architecture shifts buffer instantiation from the VM to the runtime
(RTL), leveraging type information from the AST. A new `out_type` field
is added to `BoundKind::Pipe` to store the static type of the pipeline's
output, determined by the type checker.
This enables the creation of specialized `RingBuffer<T>` and
`SharedRecordSeries` (for Struct-of-Arrays layout) when the output type
is known, significantly improving memory usage and processing speed for
time-series data, especially in financial analysis.
- Use a `make-random` factory to create isolated random number
generators.
- Remove the global `prng` from the `Environment`.
- Ensure `make-random` can be called with or without a seed.
Implements the `create-ticker` function, which allows for the creation
of a ticker stream based on a provided condition closure. This function
is crucial for synchronizing pipeline execution based on specific events
or conditions.
Adds support for pipelines, allowing streams to be chained together and
transformed.
This includes new types for `PipeStream` and `SourceAdapter`, along with
modifications
to the `Environment` to manage pipeline execution. A new example
`pipeline.myc`
demonstrates its usage.
Introduces `StaticType::Optional` to represent values that can be either
of a specific type `T` or `Void`. This is crucial for handling
situations in filter pipes where an expression might not always produce
a value.
The type checker now correctly deduces and propagates this `Optional`
type, and the pipeline operator (`pipe`) is updated to unwrap
`Optional(T)` results, yielding `T`. This ensures that the type system
accurately reflects the potential absence of values in intermediate
pipeline steps.
Also includes a minor rename in the tuple-struct example from `pipe` to
`p` for clarity, and registers the `streams` module.
Introduces `SharedValueSeries` for read-only access to generic `Value`
buffers, and `PipelineNode` which combines an `ObservableStream` with a
`Series` view. This is a foundational step for implementing the `pipe`
operator.
Introduce a new field to `Environment` to store a list of pipeline
generator functions.
Add a `run_pipeline` method to `Environment` that iterates through and
executes all registered generators until they are exhausted.
Implement `ObservableStream` trait for `RootStream` and `PipeStream`.
Add a `StreamNode` wrapper for `ObservableStream` to be used as a script
object.
Register `create-random-ohlc` as a native function that creates a
`RootStream`, sets up a OHLC record layout, and registers a stateful
generator closure in the environment's pipeline generators.
Introduces a new `Pipe` node to the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).
This node represents a functional composition pattern, allowing
for chaining of operations.
The changes include:
- Defining the `Pipe` variant in `BoundKind` and `UntypedKind`.
- Implementing parsing logic for the `pipe` keyword.
- Adding handling for the `Pipe` node in various compiler passes
(analyzer, binder, captures, dumper, macros, optimizer, TCO,
type checker).
- Including a placeholder implementation for `Pipe` execution in the
VM.
- Updating integration tests to use the new `pipe` syntax.
Introduces the streams module, defining core reactive primitives like
Signal,
Stream, Observer, RootStream, and PipeStream. This module lays the
groundwork
for building reactive data processing pipelines.
Includes new types for managing reactive data flow and a basic test
suite to
verify the functionality of RootStream and PipeStream.
This commit introduces the `Series` trait to provide a unified interface
for accessing indexed data across different series types (RecordSeries,
SeriesView, and future SharedSeries). This simplifies the VM's indexer
logic and lays the groundwork for the dual series architecture.
This commit introduces a detailed analysis of the Delphi Reactive Stream
Pipeline architecture, contrasting it with the current Rust
implementation. It outlines the core concepts of Delphi's stateless
streams, `TStreamSignal`, `TRootStream`, `TPipeSource`, `TScalarSeries`,
and `TPipeStream`, emphasizing their roles in event propagation, state
management, and synchronization.
The document also details the integration of the `pipe` statement within
the Delphi AST and compiler pipeline, covering the parser, AST
structure, type checker, and evaluator.
Finally, it proposes a "Dual Series Architecture" for Rust,
differentiating between script-local `RecordSeries` (for accumulators)
and reactive `SharedSeries` (for the pipeline), and outlines a concrete
implementation plan.
This commit introduces the `get_record` method to `RecordSeries`,
allowing for the dynamic reconstruction of a full record from its
constituent fields at a given index. This enables idiomatic access to
series data using indexing like `(my_ticks 0)`.
The `push-series` function has also been updated to correctly handle the
structure of records when pushing data into a `RecordSeries`.
Introduces a new RTL module for handling series data, enabling efficient
storage and retrieval of time-series data in a Struct-of-Arrays (SoA)
format.
Includes `SeriesView`, a zero-copy wrapper that provides a fast,
read-only interface to individual columns within a `RecordSeries`,
optimizing performance for data access in the VM.
Registers new native functions `create-series` and `push-series` for
managing series data.
Introduce the `series` module to handle time-series data storage and
manipulation. This module includes:
- `RingBuffer`: An efficient ring buffer for storing time-series data
with a configurable lookback.
- `ScalarSeries`: A type-safe series for primitive scalar values (f64,
i64, bool) optimized for performance.
- `ValueSeries`: A fallback series for non-scalar or mixed data types.
- `RecordSeries`: A "Struct of Arrays" implementation for records,
splitting fields into parallel series for efficient access.
This commit refactors the internal representation of `BoundKind::Record`
to store a `RecordLayout` and a `Vec` of values, rather than a `Vec` of
key-value pairs. This change simplifies the representation and improves
efficiency by decoupling the record's structure from its specific values
during compilation and analysis.
The `RecordLayout` now defines the structure of the record, and the
values are stored in a separate vector, ordered according to the layout.
This allows for better optimization and type checking, as the record's
shape is explicitly defined and immutable once created.
These changes update the benchmark numbers and repeat counts in the
example files. The benchmark results have slightly varied, and these
updates reflect the most recent measurements.
The `SubstitutionMap::new_inner()` method provides a more robust way to
create nested substitution maps, ensuring that only global substitutions
are inherited. This prevents potential issues with overlapping local and
upvalue addresses in nested scopes, such as during lambda inlining.
This change also includes:
- A new `try_fold_record` method in `folder.rs` to optimize record
literals into constant values.
- Updates to `inliner.rs` to recognize `Value::Record` for inlining.
- Various test cases to verify record optimization and constant folding.
This commit refactors the `execute_trace` function to utilize the
`run_debug` method on the `Environment`. This simplifies the execution
flow and leverages existing functionality for tracing and error
handling.
This commit updates the benchmark results for various examples. The
benchmark times and repeat counts have been adjusted to reflect current
performance characteristics.
The `CallFrame` struct and various VM methods now use `Rc<dyn Object>`
to hold closures, allowing for more flexibility and avoiding unnecessary
cloning.
This change also addresses the performance concern regarding deep copies
of closures, preferring `Rc<dyn Trait>` with local `downcast_ref` where
appropriate.
Additionally, a documentation note has been added to `gemini.md`
regarding this performance preference in Rust.
This commit introduces a new prelude file that defines the `while` macro
and registers it during environment bootstrapping. The `again` macro has
been updated to accept multiple arguments for its recursive call, and
several examples have been adjusted to reflect this change.
Additionally, the `MacroRegistry` in the compiler is now cloneable and
can be moved out of the `MacroExpander`.
Add a new Markdown document detailing the AST node structure as it
evolves through the compiler's different stages. This includes a diagram
illustrating the data flow and relationships between the generic
`Node<K, T>` structure and its specialized forms (`UntypedNode`,
`BoundNode`, `TypedNode`, `AnalyzedNode`). The document explains the
`kind` and `ty` payloads for each stage and their significance.
Also removes a deleted file related to a previous optimization plan and
adds new files for future optimization plans.
Introduces a new `RecordLayout` system for efficient and type-safe
record handling.
Key changes:
- `RecordLayout` struct with `O(1)` field lookup using FMap
optimization.
- Field accessors (`.name`) are now first-class callable values.
- Parser recognizes dot-prefixed identifiers as field accessors.
- Binder and TypeChecker handle field accessors.
- Optimizer transforms field accessor calls into specialized `GetField`
nodes.
- VM executes `GetField` efficiently by directly accessing record
values.
- Adds a new `records.myc` example showcasing record features.
- Improves comparison logic for records to use pointer equality for
layout.
These tests were for record destructuring, which has been removed.
The code for record destructuring was also removed from the type checker
and types modules.
Removes unused `flatten_tuple` function from optimizer utilities. The
functionality was moved to the `Folder` struct, making it more
contextually appropriate. This change streamlines the utility module and
improves code organization.
Remove redundant tuple flattening logic in `map_params_to_args`. The
existing logic for iterating through tuple elements already correctly
handles nested tuples and records by recursively calling
`map_params_to_args`.
Introduces the `Inliner` struct to encapsulate logic related to value
and function inlining. This improves code organization and readability
within the optimizer engine.
Key changes include:
- Moving `is_inlinable_value` to the `Inliner` struct.
- Extracting beta-reduction preparation logic into
`Inliner::prepare_beta_reduction`.
- Moving parameter slot collection to
`Inliner::collect_parameter_slots`.
- Introducing `flatten_tuple` to a new `utils` module, used by both
`Folder` and `Inliner`.
Extract common AST manipulation and folding logic into a new Folder
struct. This improves code organization and reusability. The Optimizer
now delegates these tasks to the Folder.
This commit reorganizes the optimizer code by creating a new `optimizer`
module. The `Optimizer` struct and its related logic remain in
`optimizer/optimizer.rs`, while `SubstitutionMap` and `UsageInfo` are
moved to `optimizer/substitution_map.rs`.
This change improves code organization and makes it easier to manage the
optimizer's components.
This commit introduces newtype wrappers for `LocalSlot`, `UpvalueIdx`,
and `GlobalIdx` to improve type safety and clarity. These wrappers
replace direct use of `u32` for indices, making the code more robust and
easier to understand.
The changes include:
- Defining `LocalSlot`, `UpvalueIdx`, and `GlobalIdx` structs.
- Implementing `Display` for these new types to provide user-friendly
output.
- Updating the `Address` enum to use these new types.
- Modifying various compiler components (analyzer, binder, optimizer,
type checker, environment, VM) to use the new types.
- Adjusting tests to accommodate the changes.
Recursively traverse through `BoundKind::Expansion` nodes when
collecting lambdas to ensure that macros correctly expanded into lambdas
are registered. This also updates assignments to global variables to
correctly track lambdas that have been assigned after macro expansion.
Added a new integration test to verify that macro-wrapped function calls
are correctly inlined and optimized, and that unused definitions are
removed by dead code elimination.
The `NodeIdentity` struct has been refactored to use a unique `id` field
generated by an atomic counter. This ensures that each `NodeIdentity`
instance is distinct, even if it has the same `SourceLocation`. The
`location` field is now optional, allowing for anonymous nodes.
This change improves the reliability of identity comparisons and
provides a more robust way to manage AST node identities.
The `UpvalueAnalyzer` pass is no longer necessary as the binder now
directly tracks captures. This commit removes the `UpvalueAnalyzer`
struct and associated logic from `src/ast/compiler/upvalues.rs`.
The `Binder::bind_root` function now returns the `captures` map, which
is then processed by a new `CapturePass` in `src/ast/environment.rs`
before type checking. This consolidates capture logic within the binder
and its subsequent processing steps.
Introduce a `ScopeKind` enum to distinguish between root and local
scopes.
This allows the `FunctionCompiler` to correctly handle global variable
declarations in the root scope and local variables in other scopes.
The `define_variable` method is introduced to encapsulate this logic.
Introduces a `global_types` field to `TypeContext` and updates the
`TypeChecker` to pass it down. This allows type checking to correctly
infer and set types for global variables, removing the previous
hardcoded `StaticType::Any` for global addresses.
Rename `ast_locals` to `ast_substitutions` for clarity.
Update `is_inlinable_value` to accept `Address` and check global purity
separately.
Simplify inlining logic in `optimize_node`.
This commit refactors the `UsageInfo` struct to use a single
`HashSet<Address>` for both used and assigned addresses, simplifying the
logic. It also updates the `SubstitutionMap` to use a similar approach
for tracking assigned values.
Key changes include:
- `UsageInfo` now has `used` and `assigned` fields of type
`HashSet<Address>`.
- `SubstitutionMap`'s `add_local`, `add_global`, `add_upvalue`,
`remove_local`, `remove_global`, and `remove_upvalue` methods have
been replaced with a generic `add_value` and `remove_value` that
operate on `Address`.
- The `Optimizer`'s `collect_pattern_usage` and `visit_node` methods
have been updated to use the new `UsageInfo` and `SubstitutionMap`
APIs.
- `Get` and `Set` nodes now use `sub.map_address` to transform addresses
based on the current substitution.
This commit consolidates `DefLocal` and `DefGlobal` into a single
`Define` bound kind. This simplifies the AST and makes it more
consistent.
It also introduces `DeclarationKind` to differentiate between variable
and parameter definitions.
