This unifies equality and comparison checking. Before, we had
separate functions and vm opcodes for comparing general values vs.
for comparing numbers, where the numberic functions were polymorphic and
had special cases for handling NaNs. By unfiying them, abstract types
can now better integrate with other number types and behave as keys.
For now, the old functions are aliased but will eventually be removed.
This adds several common patterns, which are defined in
boot.janet. This essentially gives more primitive patterns
to work with out of the box.
Fix build when JANET_REDUCED_OS is defined.
Rather than messing with janet_core_dictionary, we
instead cache the core enevironment, and pull out the
needed tables from there. This is more flexible, more correct, and
also exposes janet_resolve_core, which can be easily used from the C
API.
We moved the literals true and false into one tag
type, so we an extra tag for raw pointer types
(light userdata). These can be used from the C API via
janet_wrap_pointer and janet_unwrap_pointer.
Allow overriding functions in the core libray to provide better
functionality on startup. Used to include our getline function in
the repl but use a simpler version in the core library.
A consistent style should help with contributors and
readability. We use astyle as the formatter as can make a pretty
good approximation of the current style and my preferred style.
Astyle can be found at http://astyle.sourceforge.net/astyle.html
This should speed up start time and reduce malloc/free
usage to about 15% of what is what previously for startup.
The current cost is slightly larger binary as the representaion
of the image is currently less compact than source code.
Error handling is implemented with setjmp/longjmp so code
can be more concise. This required a very large but straight forward refactor for all
of the libraries.
remove some complexity and unexpected behavior around numbers in
general as all numbers are the same number type, IEEE 754 double
precision numbers. Also update examples and tests, some of which were
out of date.
Some more testing may be needed for new changes to numbers.
