This commit introduces `StaticType::Variadic` to represent variadic
parameter types in function signatures. This allows for more precise
type checking of functions that accept a variable number of arguments,
such as arithmetic operators.
Previously, variadic functions were handled using `StaticType::Any`,
which was too permissive and could lead to runtime errors. The new
`Variadic` type enforces that all arguments must conform to a specified
inner type.
Changes include:
- Adding `StaticType::Variadic` to `src/ast/types.rs`.
- Updating the type checker to handle `Variadic` types correctly when
unifying with tuples or single arguments.
- Modifying built-in functions like arithmetic operators to use
`Variadic` for their parameter types.
- Improving error messages for function call mismatches to be more
specific.
- Adding a new test case to ensure arithmetic type mismatches are caught
at compile time.
- A new example `data_stream_pipe_buffered.myc` is added.
- The `HMA.myc` example now has a `Skip: output` directive.
This commit refactors the `Environment` struct to better manage the Rust
Runtime Library (RTL) bootstrap state.
A new `Rtl` struct is introduced to hold a frozen snapshot of the
initial RTL state, including scopes, types, purity, values, and
documentation. This snapshot is created once after `rtl::register()`
completes.
The `Environment::new()` constructor is updated to perform a two-phase
bootstrap: first, it registers RTL functions, and then it freezes the
scope 0 and captures the RTL state into the new `Rtl` struct.
A new constructor, `Environment::from_rtl()`, is added. This allows
creating independent execution environments that all share the same
underlying RTL state. This is crucial for isolation between different
execution contexts, as user definitions and loaded modules will not leak
between environments created from the same `Rtl` snapshot.
The `Environment::list_bindings` and `Environment::list_rtl_docs`
methods are updated to use the `rtl` field for accessing the RTL scope
and documentation, reinforcing the concept of a shared, immutable RTL
state.
A new test, `test_environments_from_shared_rtl_are_independent`, is
added to verify that environments created from the same `Rtl` snapshot
are indeed independent and do not leak user-defined bindings.
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`.
