For to and thru, we need to restore eveytime through the loop since rules need
run with the right captures on the stack, especially if they have any
sort of backrefs.
Buffers make more sense for this function because one of their primary
use cases is working with bytes.
The tuple implementation was an array of floats, which is less
performant and ergonomic for common operations. (i.e: bit manipulation)
Buffers also have the advantage they are mutable, meaning the user
can write ints to an existing buffer.
Previously int/to-number would fail if the input was outside
the range of an int32.
Because Janet numbers are doubles,
they can safely store larger ints than an int32.
This commit updates int/to-number to restrict the
value to the range of integers a double can hold, instead of an int32.
(int/to-number value) converts an s64 or u64 to a number.
It restricts the value to the int32 range,
so that `int32?` will always suceeded when called on the result.
Nested expression in the quasiquote were being compiled with the "hint"
flag passed to the expression compilation, essentially telling the
compiler to put intermediates into the final slot, possibly overwriting
other intermediate values. This fix removes that flags on any recursive
calls to quasiquote.
This commit adds support for using & _ syntax to bind the remaining
values in an array in the match macro.
The commit also adds a few tests for the new syntax in suite0008
Add support for using [& rest] to match the remaining values
in an array or tuple when destructuring.
the rest pattern is implemented by pushing remaining values in the
rhs to the stack once & is found on the lhs.
Then tuple is called and the result is assigned
to the next symbol on the lhs.
This commit DOES NOT implement handling for malformed patterns.
- Change the global binding name from :redefs to :redef
- Simplify internal representation of "redefinable bindings"
- Store "redefinable bindings in :ref rather than :value inside the
environment entries. This makes such bindings more like vars that
can't be set rather than defs.
