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 a new `is_first_frame` boolean flag to the `CompilerApp`
struct to manage initial UI state, specifically for requesting focus on
the source code editor on the first frame. This commit also moves the
compilation logic into a dedicated `compile` method for better
organization and introduces a Shift+Enter keyboard shortcut for
compilation.
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.
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`.
Sets up the basic structure for the compiler GUI application using
eframe.
This includes the main application loop, a default UI layout with a
source code editor and an output log panel, and the foundational AST
(Abstract Syntax Tree) definitions for types, nodes, and an evaluation
mechanism.
