Replaces the custom LCG implementation with `fastrand` for improved
random number generation.
This commit introduces the `fastrand` crate to the project for robust
and efficient pseudo-random number generation.
The `Environment` struct now includes a `prng` field to hold the random
number generator.
The built-in `random` function now utilizes this PRNG for generating
floating-point random numbers.
A new `seed!` function is added to allow users to seed the PRNG for
deterministic random sequences.
This change enhances the randomness capabilities of the language, making
it suitable for simulations and other applications requiring good
quality random numbers.
Integrates dead code elimination (DCE) into the optimizer.
This phase removes expressions that have no side effects and are not the
result of the block.
Also includes several improvements to the existing optimization passes:
- DCE now correctly handles assignments to variables that are never used
or captured.
- Explicitly tracks captured slots in the `SubstitutionMap` to prevent
premature inlining.
- Introduces a `is_side_effect_free` helper function for more robust
purity checks.
- Updates dependencies to include `insta` for snapshot testing.
This commit replaces the `lazy_static` crate with `std::sync::OnceLock`.
This removes an external dependency and utilizes a standard library
feature for lazy initialization.
Additionally, a benchmark regression test has been added to
`src/ast/tester.rs`.
This commit introduces a new `tester` module to the `ast` crate,
enabling functional tests and performance benchmarks for MYC scripts.
Functional tests are executed by reading `.myc` files from the
`examples` directory, parsing expected output comments, and comparing
them against the actual script execution results.
Benchmarking involves measuring the execution time of scripts,
calculating median durations, and comparing them against stored
baselines. The commit also adds support for updating these baselines.
The `ast.rs` CLI and the `main.rs` GUI application have been updated to
expose these new testing and benchmarking features. The `Cargo.toml` and
`Cargo.lock` files have been updated to include the `regex` dependency
required for parsing benchmark comments.
This commit introduces the `chrono` dependency to the project, enabling
the use of time-related functionalities. Additionally, it adds several
example files (`closure.myc`, `fib.myc`, `hof.myc`) to showcase the
language's features like closures, recursion, and higher-order
functions.
The `Cargo.lock` and `Cargo.toml` files have been updated to reflect the
new dependency. The `integration_test.rs` file now includes a test to
run all `.myc` files found in the `examples` directory, ensuring their
correctness. The `main.rs` file has also been updated to load and
display these examples in the UI.
The project now uses the `clap` crate for handling command-line
arguments, replacing the previous manual parsing approach. This includes
adding `clap` as a dependency and creating a `Cli` struct to define the
command-line interface. The `main` function has been updated to parse
these arguments and handle file input or direct script 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.
