Simplified the AST architecture by removing the overly complex Node<K,
T> structure and replacing it with specialized types for
each phase:
- Introduced UntypedNode in nodes.rs for the Parser and Macro system,
eliminating redundant ty: () initializations.
- Defined a new generic Node<T> in bound_nodes.rs for all compiler
stages, where T represents the phase-specific metadata.
- Updated the Binder to act as the bridge between UntypedNode and
Node<()>.
- Simplified type aliases: TypedNode, AnalyzedNode, and ExecNode now
leverage the streamlined Node<T> structure.
- Updated Parser, Macros, Type-Checker, Optimizer, and VM to reflect
the architectural changes.
- Fixed import chains and resolved needless borrows via clippy.
This change improves type safety, reduces boilerplate code in the
parser, and makes the compiler stages more idiomatic and
readable.
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`.
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.
