The `Object` trait is too generic and has been causing confusion. This
commit introduces `StreamStorage` as a dedicated trait for reactive
stream types.
This change involves:
- Renaming `Object` to `StreamStorage` in relevant places.
- Updating the `Value::Object` enum variant to `Value::Stream`.
- Modifying how streams are handled in the compiler, VM, and tests to
use the new `StreamStorage` trait.
- Adjusting example scripts and tests to reflect the change in type
representation.
- The `StreamNode` struct now explicitly holds its `element_type`.
This commit introduces bidirectional type inference, enabling the
compiler to infer lambda parameter types based on the context of their
usage. This is particularly useful for functions like `pipe`, where a
lambda's signature can be deduced from the types of the streams it
operates on.
Key changes include:
- **`extract_lambda_param_hints` function:** This new helper function in
`type_checker.rs` is responsible for extracting expected parameter
types for a lambda based on the callee's signature and already known
argument types.
- **`check_lambda_with_param_hints` function:** This function allows
type-checking a lambda node using provided parameter type hints,
preserving upvalue types from the enclosing scope.
- **Call expression type checking:** The `check_call` function now
phases its argument type checking. Non-lambda arguments are typed
first, and then lambda arguments are typed using hints derived from
`extract_lambda_param_hints`.
- **`pipe_arg_hint_resolver`:** This new resolver for the `pipe`
function's `PolymorphicFn` type allows it to provide specific type
hints for its lambda argument based on the types of its stream inputs
(single stream, vector of streams, or tuple of streams).
- **`StaticType::PolymorphicFn` update:** The `PolymorphicFn` enum
variant has been extended to include `resolve_arg_hints`, enabling
functions to provide lambda parameter hints during bidirectional type
inference.
- **New tests:** Added tests to verify the correct inference of lambda
parameters for `pipe` with vector and tuple inputs, ensuring that
inner stream types are correctly propagated. Also, a test to confirm
`pipe` with an optional return still produces `Stream(Float)`.
This commit refactors the test suite by removing the monolithic
`integration_test.rs` file.
The tests have been categorized and moved into dedicated modules within
the `tests/` directory:
- `tests/parser.rs`: Contains tests for parsing various literal values.
- `tests/destructuring.rs`: Houses tests related to destructuring
syntax.
- `tests/closures.rs`: Includes tests for closure behavior and related
optimizations.
- `tests/optimizer.rs`: Contains tests specifically targeting optimizer
logic and regressions.
- `tests/records.rs`: Holds tests for record syntax and associated
optimizations.
- `tests/rtl.rs`: Contains tests for runtime library operators and
functions.
- `tests/pipeline.rs`: Tests for pipeline functionality.
- `tests/macros.rs`: Tests for macro expansion and related issues.
- `tests/error_recovery.rs`: Includes tests for compiler error handling
and recovery mechanisms.
- `tests/examples.rs`: Verifies the execution of example scripts.
This reorganization improves test discoverability and maintainability.
The `lib.rs` file has also been updated to reflect these changes by
removing the reference to the old `integration_test` module.
The `type_checker.rs` file has had some tests removed, as they are now
covered by the more specific tests in `tests/error_recovery.rs`.
