Adds extra information to default information from supervisor
channels. For threaded channels as supervisors, we don't get
the source fiber so identifying the source of messages was not
possible. This change allows better multithreading with supervisors.
The issue is that there was no synchronization on writes.
The stability of the test relied on the fact that the server
would read in an entire message in one call to ev/read, which
would _almost_ always happen since the messages are so small.
Should make janet a bit easier to use. Also changes the
header to not expose the size of native mutexes and rwlocks, except
with janet_os_mutex_size and janet_os_rwlock_size.
The ffi module is useful even when true ffi calls
are not yet implemented. This lets the ffi be enabled
on any architecture, albeit with a degraded feature set
where calling conventions are not implemented.
native-close, raw-native and native-lookup have become
ffi/close, ffi/native, and ffi/lookup instead.
The new ffi module will be useful for any architecture even if we don't
support making calls to certain functions. We can simple add a
do-nothing calling convetion that panics on call. ffi/read and ffi/write
are useful in their own right.
TODO:
- struct return values
- support for unions in signatures
- more testing
- complex types
- packed structs
- writing structs to buffers (useful and we have most of the machinery).
Add support for integer return and floating point return variants, as
well as arguments on the stack. Start flushing out struct arguments.
Still needed:
- structs (packed and unpacked)
- complex numbers
- long doubles
- MASM alternative for windows (you can technically use sysv abi on
windows)
- more calling conventions.
FFI may be best implemented as an external library
(libffi has incompatible license to Janet) or as code
that takes void * and wraps then into Janet C functions
given a function signature. Either way, we need to some way
to load symbols from arbitrary dynamic libraries.
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.
While generally we are not in the business of making a very chatty
compiler, this is a simple improvement that involves compiling
metadata before the binding, as well as adding a suggestion for `defn`
in case the compiler encounters an unexpected tuple.
Added some backticks around code in docstrings to distinguish them from prose.
Light editing to `table/raw-get`. Is my change there correct? (t --> the key)
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.
This is more intuitive and avoids the possibilty of strange code
to resume or cancel a fiber after it was scheduled but before it was
entered for the first time.
The main issue was cancellation of fiber using `cancel` rather than
`ev/cancel` could cause issues with the event loop internal ref count.
Since this is almost certainly bad usage (and is not something I want to
encourage or support), we will warn against trying to resume or error
fibers that have already been suspended or scheduled on the event loop.
The distinction between "task" fibers and normal fibers is now kept by a
flag that is set when a fiber is resumed - if it is the outermost fiber
on the stack, it is considered a root fiber. All fibers scheduled with
ev/go or by the event loop are root fibers, and thus cannot be cancelled
or resumed with `cancel` or `resume` - instead, use `ev/cancel` or
`ev/go`.
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.
The current destructure pattern ends when '& is encountered.
This commit adds an error if it is followed by more than
a symbol to bind the array to.
Although its not critical since the extra items can be ignored,
they're a sign of some kind of mistake so its best to complain.
In destructure janet_type(_) == JANET_SYMBOL was used to check if a
value was a symbol.
This commit replaces that with the janet_checktype function,
because that function is used for the same purpose in other places.
This commit adds three checks to ensure & rest patterns are valid:
1. When checking for '& ensure the value is a symbol before unwrapping
2. Make sure '& is followed by a value
3. Make sure the value following '& is a symbol
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.
handles returned by CreateFileA and FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED
support reading from arbitrary offsets.
The offset is passed to ReadFile in through the OVERLAPPED structure.
Since state->overlapped is zeroed ev_machine_read
ReadFile would always read from the start of the file and never finish
This commit changes ev_machine_read to update the offset to
the number of bytes read before calling ReadFile.
- 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.
