This commit updates the benchmark timings and repeat counts for various
example files. The `tester.rs` script has been modified to:
- Correctly parse and use the `Benchmark-Repeat` directive.
- Implement an adaptive sampling mechanism for more accurate median
calculation, especially for long-running benchmarks.
- Improve the logic for updating and inserting benchmark and repeat
lines in example files.
- Handle potential compilation and runtime errors during benchmark
execution.
Replaces the use of `BTreeMap` and `HashMap` for maps and records with
`Vec<(Keyword, Value)>` and `Vec<(Keyword, StaticType)>`. This
simplifies the data structure and allows for ordered iteration, which is
important for serialization and comparison.
Also updates the `unpack` function in `vm.rs` to handle records as well
as lists when destructuring.
The type inference for collections (tuples, vectors, matrices, and
records) has been significantly refactored.
This includes:
- Introducing distinct `StaticType` variants for `Tuple`, `Vector`, and
`Matrix`.
- Implementing more robust type checking for these collections, allowing
for homogeneous and heterogeneous structures.
- Enhancing the `is_assignable_from` method to handle type compatibility
between these collection types.
- Updating `Value::static_type()` to correctly infer the types of
literal collections.
- Improving the type inference for map literals to create `Record`
types.
- Adding comprehensive unit tests for tuple, vector, matrix, and record
type inference.
This commit updates benchmark values in several example files to reflect
minor performance variations. It also includes adjustments to
integration
and unit tests to align with recent changes in the type checking and VM
logic, specifically concerning closures and TCO handling.
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.
The `eval` and `eval_observed` methods in the `VM` struct were very
similar, with the primary difference being the call to the `VMObserver`
trait. This commit refactors these methods into a single macro,
`dispatch_eval!`, which reduces code duplication and improves
maintainability.
The `Value::TailCallRequest` variant was also updated to use `Box` for
its contents, which helps keep the `Value` enum size consistent.
Finally, the benchmarks in the `examples` directory have been updated to
reflect minor performance changes resulting from these code
modifications.
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.
