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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Renames `DefDestructure` to `Destructure` to better reflect its use in
both definitions and assignments.
Introduces `bind_assign_pattern` to handle assignment destructuring in
the binder.
Adds `test_assign_destructuring` to verify assignment destructuring
functionality.
This commit introduces the `DefDestructure` bound kind and modifies the
binder, analyzer, type checker, and VM to support destructuring in `def`
statements. This allows for pattern matching on the right-hand side of a
`def` to bind multiple variables.
The parser has been updated to accept patterns in `def` statements. The
binder now handles `UntypedKind::Def` with a `target` pattern, rather
than a simple `name`. This enables destructuring.
The `Gemini.md` documentation has been updated to include a new rule for
incremental development.
The `again` keyword is introduced to facilitate explicit recursive
function calls.
It is restricted to tail-call positions to prevent dead code and ensure
TCO
optimization. Type checking is enhanced to validate argument types
against
function parameters.
The Analyzer has been refactored to decorate `TypedNode`s with their
purity and recursion status. This involves creating a new `AnalyzedNode`
type and a `NodeMetrics` struct to hold this information. The `Analyzer`
now returns an `AnalyzedNode` instead of a separate `Analysis` struct.
This change lays the groundwork for future optimizations and analysis
passes.
This commit introduces a new AST analysis pass that identifies function
purity and recursion. This information is then used by the optimizer and
specializer to make more informed decisions, particularly regarding
inlining.
The `Analyzer` struct and its associated `Analysis` struct are
responsible for traversing the AST and collecting this data.
Key changes include:
- A new `analyzer` module is added to `ast::compiler`.
- `Analyzer::analyze` performs a two-pass traversal to collect
global-to-lambda mappings and then analyze purity and recursion.
- The `Optimizer` and `Specializer` are updated to accept and utilize
the `Analysis` data.
- Recursion checks in `Optimizer` and `Specializer` are replaced with
checks against the pre-computed `Analysis.is_recursive` set.
- The `Environment` now stores and passes the `Analysis` results to the
compiler stages.
