This commit updates all example files to use `assert_eq!` for verifying
output, replacing the previous `Output:` comments. This change makes the
examples more robust and self-testing.
The benchmark results in some examples have also been slightly adjusted,
reflecting minor performance variations after the refactoring.
Additionally, a runtime panic handling mechanism has been introduced in
the VM for function calls, which improves error reporting for unexpected
panics.
The `Parameter` kind in `UntypedKind` was only used for identifiers that
were being declared or referenced. This commit renames it to
`Identifier` and updates all the necessary code to reflect this change.
This simplifies the AST and makes it more consistent.
Additionally, a new macro `repeat` has been added to
`src/ast/system.myc`.
The `PipelineNode` has been refactored into `StreamNode`. This commit
updates the example files to reflect this change and also updates the
`series` constructor to accept a lookback parameter.
The `PipelineNode` was an artifact of a previous implementation and is
no longer needed. The `StreamNode` is the appropriate type for
representing the output of a pipe operation.
The `series` function now requires a `lookback` argument to specify the
maximum number of items to store. This makes the behavior of series more
explicit and prevents accidental unbounded memory growth.
This commit updates the benchmark and repeat counts for various example
files. These changes reflect potential performance improvements or
variations observed during testing.
Add `Output` comments to the example files to reflect the actual output
of the programs. This helps with verifying correctness and understanding
example behavior.
Introduces type specialization for reactive pipeline nodes and their
data buffers. This eliminates the overhead of generic `Value` enums and
`SharedValueSeries` when dealing with known scalar or record types.
The architecture shifts buffer instantiation from the VM to the runtime
(RTL), leveraging type information from the AST. A new `out_type` field
is added to `BoundKind::Pipe` to store the static type of the pipeline's
output, determined by the type checker.
This enables the creation of specialized `RingBuffer<T>` and
`SharedRecordSeries` (for Struct-of-Arrays layout) when the output type
is known, significantly improving memory usage and processing speed for
time-series data, especially in financial analysis.
