This commit refactors several modules to use the defined types from
`ast::types` and `ast::nodes` directly, rather than using fully
qualified paths. This improves code readability and reduces redundancy.
Specifically, the following changes were made:
- In `analyzer.rs`, `crate::ast::types::Identity` and
`crate::ast::types::Purity` are now used directly.
- In `binder.rs`, `crate::ast::types::NodeIdentity`,
`crate::ast::types::SourceLocation`,
`crate::ast::types::RecordLayout`, and `crate::ast::types::Value` are
now used directly.
- In `macros.rs`, types like `Address`, `VirtualId`, `NodeIdentity`,
`SourceLocation`, `StaticType`, and `Purity` are now used directly.
- In `optimizer/engine.rs`, `Address<VirtualId>` is now used directly.
- In `type_checker.rs`, `BoundPhase`, `Signature`, `Keyword`, and
`RecordLayout` are now used directly.
- In `environment.rs`, `CompilerScope`, `LocalInfo`, `CapturePass`,
`AnalyzedPhase`, `NativeFunction`, and `Closure` are now used
directly.
- In `nodes.rs`, `RecordLayout`, `Keyword`, `Purity`, and `StaticType`
are now used directly.
- In `parser.rs`, `SourceLocation` and `NodeIdentity` are now used
directly.
- In `rtl/math.rs`, `NativeFunction`, `Purity`, `Signature`,
`StaticType`, `Value`, `RefCell`, and `Rc` are now used directly.
- In `rtl/streams.rs`, `ScalarValue`, `SeriesMember`, `Object`,
`PipeFn`, `Value`, `VM`, `RingBuffer`, `RecordSeries`, `SeriesView`,
`build_map_stream`, and `build_pipeline_node` are now used directly.
- In `rtl/type_registry.rs`, `RecordLayout`, `Keyword`, `Purity`,
`Signature`, `StaticType`, and `Value` are now used directly.
- In `vm.rs`, `RecordSeries`, `SeriesView`, `build_map_stream`,
`build_pipeline_node`, `StreamNode`, `Object`, and `PipeFn` are now
used directly.
- In `utils/tester.rs`, `TypedNode` is now used directly.
The Binder and related types have been refactored to use the new
`NodeKind` enum instead of the previous `BoundKind`. This commit updates
all references to use the new structure, ensuring consistency across the
compiler's AST representation.
Key changes include:
- Replacing `BoundKind` with `NodeKind` in the Binder's `bind` and
`visit` methods.
- Updating pattern matching and field access to reflect the new enum
variants (e.g., `NodeKind::Def` instead of `BoundKind::Define`).
- Adjusting identifier bindings to use the new `IdentifierBinding` enum.
- Reflecting changes in `DefBinding`, `AssignBinding`, and
`LambdaBinding` structures.
- Ensuring all newly created nodes use `NodeKind` and the appropriate
metadata.
This commit replaces the `UntypedNode` enum with the more accurately
named `SyntaxNode`. This change is primarily for clarity and better
reflects the role of these nodes as representing the structure of the
source code prior to semantic analysis.
The corresponding enum `UntypedKind` has also been renamed to
`SyntaxKind` to maintain consistency.
No functional changes are introduced by this refactoring; it is purely a
renaming and organizational update.
Simplified the AST architecture by removing the overly complex Node<K,
T> structure and replacing it with specialized types for
each phase:
- Introduced UntypedNode in nodes.rs for the Parser and Macro system,
eliminating redundant ty: () initializations.
- Defined a new generic Node<T> in bound_nodes.rs for all compiler
stages, where T represents the phase-specific metadata.
- Updated the Binder to act as the bridge between UntypedNode and
Node<()>.
- Simplified type aliases: TypedNode, AnalyzedNode, and ExecNode now
leverage the streamlined Node<T> structure.
- Updated Parser, Macros, Type-Checker, Optimizer, and VM to reflect
the architectural changes.
- Fixed import chains and resolved needless borrows via clippy.
This change improves type safety, reduces boilerplate code in the
parser, and makes the compiler stages more idiomatic and
readable.
The `Parameter` kind in `UntypedKind` was only used for identifiers that
were being declared or referenced. This commit renames it to
`Identifier` and updates all the necessary code to reflect this change.
This simplifies the AST and makes it more consistent.
Additionally, a new macro `repeat` has been added to
`src/ast/system.myc`.
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 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 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`.
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.
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.
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.
This commit renames `Map` to `Record` and updates all related AST nodes,
binders, type checkers, and runtime values to reflect this change. This
is a semantic change to better align with common programming language
terminology.
Introduce `BoundKind::Parameter` to represent function parameters.
Modify `Binder` to correctly handle parameters within lambda
definitions, ensuring they are only defined within function scopes.
Update `LambdaCollector` to register the body of lambdas as templates
for global definitions.
Adjust `Dumper` to accurately represent lambda parameters.
Update `Specializer` and `TCO` to handle the new `BoundKind::Parameter`.
Refactor `Call` and `TailCall` to use a single `args` node, often a
tuple.
Adjust type signatures in RTL to use `StaticType::Tuple` for function
parameters.
The `unless` macro's expansion was updated to use `...` (NOP) instead of
`void`. This change also involved removing the `void` keyword from the
parser, as it is no longer used.
Boolean literals `true` and `false` are now parsed as identifiers,
matching the behavior of other constants like `NaN`. This change aligns
the AST representation of boolean literals with their runtime constants.
Introduces a `Symbol` struct to represent identifiers, incorporating
macro hygiene context. Updates various parts of the AST compiler and
environment to use `Symbol` instead of raw `Rc<str>` for identifiers,
improving robustness for macro expansions.
Also includes:
- Adds a new example `macro_hygiene.myc`.
- Updates `.gitignore`.
- Refactors `MacroExpander` to use `ExpansionState` for cleaner template
expansion.
- Adjusts `VM::eval_observed` to ensure `after_eval` is called
correctly.
- Resets `Environment` for each test run and compilation/dumping in
`main.rs`.
This commit introduces support for AST macros and templates, enabling
users to define and use custom, reusable components within the visual
DSL.
Key changes include:
- A new `MacroRegistry` to manage macro definitions.
- A `MacroExpander` to process macro calls and expand templates.
- A `MacroEvaluator` trait for evaluating expressions during expansion.
- The `Expansion` node in `BoundKind` to preserve the original macro
call and its expanded form for debugging.
- Updates to the `Binder`, `Dumper`, and `UpvalueAnalyzer` to handle the
new macro constructs.
- New examples demonstrating various macro functionalities like
`unless`, splicing, and nested macros.
Ensure that a script does not contain any tokens after the main
expression. This prevents accidental trailing expressions and enforces a
clearer script structure.
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.
Introduces the `Assign` AST node and a corresponding `assign` method on
the `Scope` struct. This allows for updating existing variables within
the current scope or any parent scope.
The `assign` method recursively traverses the scope chain until it finds
the variable or determines it's undefined. This enables reassigning
variables defined in outer scopes.
Introduces `UntypedKind::Lambda` to represent function closures.
Adds `parse_fn` to the parser to handle lambda syntax.
Updates `Node::eval` to correctly evaluate lambda expressions, creating
new scopes for each invocation with captured variables.
Improves handling of call expressions by passing the AST node's
identity.
Removes unnecessary comments and simplifies some error handling.
Introduces a `Scope` struct for dynamic scope management and a `Context`
struct to hold the current scope.
Implements a basic standard library with arithmetic operations and a
greater-than comparison.
Modifies `Node::eval` to handle identifiers by resolving them within the
current scope and `Call` nodes for function execution.
Updates the parser to use `Context::new()` for evaluating vector
elements, ensuring a fresh scope.
Enhances the main loop to handle potential runtime errors during
evaluation.
Introduces the lexer and parser modules, enabling the conversion of
source code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).
This includes:
- Defining token kinds and structures.
- Implementing lexer logic to tokenize input.
- Defining AST node kinds and structures.
- Implementing parser logic to construct the AST from tokens.
- Adding support for basic expressions, lists, keywords, and
identifiers.
- Adding the `lazy_static` dependency for keyword interning.
- Refactoring `Value::Nil` to `Value::Void`.
