This commit refactors the purity analysis from using a
`HashMap<GlobalIdx, Purity>` to a `Vec<Purity>` indexed by
`GlobalIdx.0`.
This change simplifies the data structure and makes purity lookups more
efficient. The `Binder`'s `globals` field has also been removed as it
was not being used.
The `Binder` struct now accepts a `Rc<RefCell<HashMap<Symbol,
(GlobalIdx, Identity)>>>` for global names. This allows the binder to
directly access and manage global symbols during the binding process,
simplifying the logic and improving efficiency.
Additionally, `CompilerScope` now implements `Default`, and a type alias
`BindingResult` has been introduced for clarity. The `bind_root`
function signature has been updated to accept the `globals` argument.
The `Binder` and `FunctionCompiler` initialization has been refactored
to accept initial scopes and slot counts. This allows for more flexible
management of the compiler's state, particularly for the root scope.
The `bind_root` function now returns the final scopes and slot count of
the root function compiler, enabling the `Environment` to update its
state with these new bindings.
The global variable handling has been integrated into the scope
management, removing the direct reliance on a shared `HashMap` for
globals. This promotes a more consistent approach to symbol resolution.
Introduces `fixed_scope_idx` to `Binder` and `Environment` to track
immutable scopes.
This allows enforcing that definitions (`def`) cannot occur in scopes
that are considered fixed or immutable, such as the global scope or the
initial bootstrap scope.
The `FunctionCompiler` is updated to use `fixed_scope_idx` and `is_root`
to determine scope immutability.
The 'again' macro is a new addition to the macro system, allowing for
recursive macro expansion. This commit introduces the necessary AST
nodes, macro expansion logic, and an integration test to ensure its
functionality. The `soa_series.myc` example has also been updated to
demonstrate its usage.
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`.
This change introduces Rc<MacroMap> to allow for copy-on-write semantics
when defining macros in nested scopes. When a macro is defined in a
scope that is already shared, the MacroMap is cloned before
modification, ensuring that changes to one scope do not affect others
that share the same map.
The Binder and its helper functions have been updated to accept and
propagate a `Diagnostics` struct. This allows for better error reporting
during the binding phase, enabling the compiler to continue processing
even after encountering errors and collect all issues before halting.
The `BoundKind::Error` node and `StaticType::Error` are introduced as
"poison" nodes/types. These nodes indicate that an error occurred during
compilation, preventing further valid processing of that specific AST
fragment but allowing the compiler to continue with other parts of the
code.
The `Parser` has also been updated to return a `Diagnostics` struct,
enabling it to report errors during the initial parsing stage while
still attempting to build a partial AST. This adheres to the same error
recovery strategy.
Introduces a new `Pipe` node to the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).
This node represents a functional composition pattern, allowing
for chaining of operations.
The changes include:
- Defining the `Pipe` variant in `BoundKind` and `UntypedKind`.
- Implementing parsing logic for the `pipe` keyword.
- Adding handling for the `Pipe` node in various compiler passes
(analyzer, binder, captures, dumper, macros, optimizer, TCO,
type checker).
- Including a placeholder implementation for `Pipe` execution in the
VM.
- Updating integration tests to use the new `pipe` syntax.
This commit introduces a new prelude file that defines the `while` macro
and registers it during environment bootstrapping. The `again` macro has
been updated to accept multiple arguments for its recursive call, and
several examples have been adjusted to reflect this change.
Additionally, the `MacroRegistry` in the compiler is now cloneable and
can be moved out of the `MacroExpander`.
This commit introduces newtype wrappers for `LocalSlot`, `UpvalueIdx`,
and `GlobalIdx` to improve type safety and clarity. These wrappers
replace direct use of `u32` for indices, making the code more robust and
easier to understand.
The changes include:
- Defining `LocalSlot`, `UpvalueIdx`, and `GlobalIdx` structs.
- Implementing `Display` for these new types to provide user-friendly
output.
- Updating the `Address` enum to use these new types.
- Modifying various compiler components (analyzer, binder, optimizer,
type checker, environment, VM) to use the new types.
- Adjusting tests to accommodate the changes.
The `NodeIdentity` struct has been refactored to use a unique `id` field
generated by an atomic counter. This ensures that each `NodeIdentity`
instance is distinct, even if it has the same `SourceLocation`. The
`location` field is now optional, allowing for anonymous nodes.
This change improves the reliability of identity comparisons and
provides a more robust way to manage AST node identities.
The `UpvalueAnalyzer` pass is no longer necessary as the binder now
directly tracks captures. This commit removes the `UpvalueAnalyzer`
struct and associated logic from `src/ast/compiler/upvalues.rs`.
The `Binder::bind_root` function now returns the `captures` map, which
is then processed by a new `CapturePass` in `src/ast/environment.rs`
before type checking. This consolidates capture logic within the binder
and its subsequent processing steps.
This commit introduces the `DefDestructure` bound kind and modifies the
binder, analyzer, type checker, and VM to support destructuring in `def`
statements. This allows for pattern matching on the right-hand side of a
`def` to bind multiple variables.
The parser has been updated to accept patterns in `def` statements. The
binder now handles `UntypedKind::Def` with a `target` pattern, rather
than a simple `name`. This enables destructuring.
The `Gemini.md` documentation has been updated to include a new rule for
incremental development.
This commit renames `Map` to `Record` and updates all related AST nodes,
binders, type checkers, and runtime values to reflect this change. This
is a semantic change to better align with common programming language
terminology.
Introduce `BoundKind::Parameter` to represent function parameters.
Modify `Binder` to correctly handle parameters within lambda
definitions, ensuring they are only defined within function scopes.
Update `LambdaCollector` to register the body of lambdas as templates
for global definitions.
Adjust `Dumper` to accurately represent lambda parameters.
Update `Specializer` and `TCO` to handle the new `BoundKind::Parameter`.
Refactor `Call` and `TailCall` to use a single `args` node, often a
tuple.
Adjust type signatures in RTL to use `StaticType::Tuple` for function
parameters.
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.
The `unless` macro's expansion was updated to use `...` (NOP) instead of
`void`. This change also involved removing the `void` keyword from the
parser, as it is no longer used.
Boolean literals `true` and `false` are now parsed as identifiers,
matching the behavior of other constants like `NaN`. This change aligns
the AST representation of boolean literals with their runtime constants.
Introduces the `TypeChecker` struct and its associated `TypeContext` for
performing static type analysis on the abstract syntax tree.
This change includes:
- A new `type_checker.rs` module.
- Integration of `TypeChecker` into the `Environment::compile` method.
- Updates to `Environment` to manage global types.
- Renaming `bound_nodes.rs`'s `BoundNode` to `TypedNode` to reflect its
type-checked nature.
- Refinements in binder and macro expansion to accommodate type
information.
The Binder has been refactored to simplify its internal types and reduce
redundancy.
Key changes include:
- Removed StaticType from LocalInfo, as it's not strictly needed for the
binder.
- Simplified `define` in CompilerScope to not take a StaticType.
- Removed StaticType from upvalues in FunctionCompiler.
- Adjusted global mappings to store only the index, not the type.
- Updated BoundKind to use a generic type parameter `T` for metadata,
defaulting to `()` for untyped bound nodes.
- Introduced `BoundNode` and `TypedNode` type aliases for clarity.
- Minor adjustments to dumper and VM to accommodate the new generic
BoundKind.
Introduces a `Symbol` struct to represent identifiers, incorporating
macro hygiene context. Updates various parts of the AST compiler and
environment to use `Symbol` instead of raw `Rc<str>` for identifiers,
improving robustness for macro expansions.
Also includes:
- Adds a new example `macro_hygiene.myc`.
- Updates `.gitignore`.
- Refactors `MacroExpander` to use `ExpansionState` for cleaner template
expansion.
- Adjusts `VM::eval_observed` to ensure `after_eval` is called
correctly.
- Resets `Environment` for each test run and compilation/dumping in
`main.rs`.
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.
