The `UpvalueAnalyzer` now correctly identifies which lambdas capture
which variable declarations, rather than just marking declarations that
need boxing. This information is stored in a `capture_map`.
The `Binder` has been updated to use this new `capture_map` instead of a
`HashSet` of boxed declarations. The `DefLocal` node in `bound_nodes.rs`
now stores a `captured_by` field, which is a list of lambda identities
that capture the local variable.
A new `dumper` module has been added to provide a human-readable
representation of the bound AST, including information about captured
variables.
The `VM` has been updated to use the `captured_by` field to determine if
a local variable needs to be stored in a `Cell`, rather than relying on
a boolean `is_boxed` flag.
An example script `extreme_capture.myc` has been added to test deep
nesting and variable capture.
A new "Dump AST" button has been added to the UI, which uses the new
`Dumper` to display the bound AST.
The binder now uses an `UpvalueAnalyzer` to identify local variables
that are captured by nested functions. These identified variables are
marked with `is_boxed: true` during `DefLocal` node creation. The VM
then uses this flag to wrap such variables in a `Value::Cell` (using
`Rc<RefCell<_>>`) to ensure they can be mutated across function calls.
feat: Introduce boxing for captured variables
Add UpvalueAnalyzer to identify variables captured by nested lambdas.
Modify Binder to use the analyzer and mark captured local variables for
boxing.
Update BoundKind::DefLocal to include an `is_boxed` flag.
Update VM to box captured variables when they are defined.
Add tests for upvalue capture detection.
This commit introduces support for tuple and map literals in the AST.
Tuples are now represented by `UntypedKind::Tuple` and maps by
`UntypedKind::Map`.
The `Binder` has been updated to correctly handle these new node types
and infer their types.
The `VM` now also supports evaluating tuple and map literals.
This commit replaces `Arc<Mutex<T>>` with `Rc<RefCell<T>>` for managing
shared mutable state within the AST and VM. This change is primarily an
internal refactoring to leverage Rust's standard library more
effectively for single-threaded scenarios, improving performance by
avoiding the overhead of mutexes.
The following types and their usage have been updated:
- `Environment.global_names` and `Environment.global_values`
- `Binder.globals`
- `bound_nodes::BoundKind::Lambda.body` (now `Rc<Node>`)
- `ast::types::NodeIdentity` (now `Rc<NodeIdentity>`)
- `ast::types::Value::List`, `Value::Record`, `Value::Function`,
`Value::Object`, `Value::Cell`
- `ast::nodes::Scope` and `ast::nodes::Context`
- `ast::vm::Closure.function_node` and `Closure.upvalues`
- `ast::vm::VM.globals`
This change does not alter the external behavior of the library but
streamlines internal data management.
modify captured variables.
Implement `capture_upvalue` and `get_value`/`set_value` methods in the
`VM` to handle these mutable upvalues.
Refactor number parsing to support integers and floats
Separate the `TokenKind::Number` into `TokenKind::Integer` and
`TokenKind::Float`.
Update the lexer to distinguish between integer and float literals.
Update the parser to correctly map these new token kinds to their
respective `Value` types.
Add integration tests for parsing integers and floats, and for closure
modification of captured variables.
This commit introduces `StaticType` and enhances the `Binder` to perform
basic type checking during the binding phase.
Key changes include:
- **`StaticType` enum:** Represents static types such as `Any`, `Void`,
`Bool`, `Int`, `Float`, `Text`, `List`, `Record`, and `Function`.
- **`Node<K, T>`:** The generic `Node` now includes a `ty` field to
store its inferred static type.
- **Binder enhancements:**
- `CompilerScope` now stores `LocalInfo` containing the variable's
slot and `StaticType`.
- `FunctionCompiler` stores upvalues with their associated
`StaticType`.
- `Binder::bind` now returns `Node<BoundKind, StaticType>`,
propagating type information.
- Type checking is added for `If` conditions and `Assign`
operations.
- `Def` nodes now infer and store the type of the defined variable.
- **`Value::static_type()`:** A new method to determine the `StaticType`
of a `Value`.
- **Environment modifications:** `global_names` now stores `(u32,
StaticType)` to associate global variables with their types.
- **Parser modifications:** The `ty` field of nodes is initialized to
`()` by default.
- **VM modifications:** `VM::run` and `VM::eval` now operate on
`Node<BoundKind, StaticType>`.
- **Tests:** Added basic evaluation and type error tests.
feat: Add StaticType and type checking
Introduces `StaticType` enum and integrates it into the AST. The binder
now performs type checking during compilation, ensuring that expressions
conform to expected types, especially for control flow structures like
`if`. This lays the groundwork for static type analysis and error
reporting.
Adds a new `Binder` struct that traverses the AST and resolves variable
references to concrete `Address` types (Local, Upvalue, Global). This
information is crucial for the Virtual Machine's execution phase.
Introduces the `BoundKind` enum to represent the AST after binding.
The `VM` is updated to handle `BoundKind` nodes and execute the bound
AST.
It now manages a call stack, local variables, and closures for function
calls and upvalue capturing.
The `Environment` struct is enhanced to manage global variables and
provide
a unified interface for parsing, binding, and executing scripts. It also
includes basic standard library functions.
