The janet_get_permissive function implements the core semantics
of the 'get' function. The original janet_get implements the semantics of
the 'in' function and also the OP_GET opcode. This slight oddity is
to avoid a backwards incompatible change.
A finalizer can be attached to scratch allocations efficiently at any point in
it's lifecycle via janet_sfinalizer. Care was taken to keep allocations aligned
with platform alignment requirements.
A big drawbacks to this approach is the waste of up to 16 bytes per scratch
allocation in the case the scratch memory does not require a finalizer.
The new RNG wraps up state for random number generation, so
one can have many rngs and even marshal and unmarshal them.
Adds math/rng, math/rng-uniform, and math/rng-int.
Also introduce `in` and change semantics for
indexing out of range. This commit enforces stricter
invariants on keys when indexing via a function call
on the data structure, or the new `in` function.
The `get` function is now more lax about keys, and will
not throw an error when a bad key is used for a data structure, instead
returning the default value.
The print family of functions now writes output
to an optional buffer instead of a file bound to :out.
This means output can be more easily captured an redirected.
This should be friendlier to most users. It does, however, mean
we lose range information. However, range information could be
recovered by re-parsing, as janet's grammar is simple enough to do this.
Also adds the janet_lengthv API call. This is
needed because janet_length returns a 32 bit integer, where
as lengthv lets us return larger values (useful for typed arrays).
janet_mcall is an api function that should make it easier to call
a janet method from C code. It shares a similar signature with
janet_call.
A keyword reference only counts as visited if we have
it as cached in the memoized->table, and we know it was
originally referenced from the same grammar table. If these
two conditions are true, then compilation must work correctly.
Also add janet_table_get_ex.
Mostly changes to cook and jpm. Also some
code for file associations in the windows installer, and
adding the :linux value from os/which (instead of just :posix).
This allows better stacktraces when manually intercepting
signals to clean up resources. Also allows functionality
from Common Lisp's unwind-protect, such as calling cleanup code
while unwindinding the stack, restarting on certain signals, and
just in general having more control over signal and signal propagation.
Also fix a bug encountered while implementing with-resource in the
compiler. Desturcturing arguments that were not the last argument
would often result in bad code generation, as slots used to destructure
the earlier arguments would invalidate the later parameters. This is
fixed by allocating all named parameters before doing any destructuring.
This will allow some one constructing an abstract to
only make it visible to the garbage collector after it
is in a valid state. If code in the constructing cfunction
panics before janet_abstract_end is called, the GC will not try
to mark the incomplete abstract type. This is often not needed through
careful programming, but should work well.
These functions made it very easy to create memory
leaks, and are better replaced with functions in vector.h or
simply using non-stack allocated arrays.
This makes it easier to document functions that
take keyword arguments and also prevents some allocations
with these functions. Before, this was possible via normal
variadic functions but created an intermediate tuple, and
the generated docstrings did not document the keys.
This should help address #81. Also hide janet_exit
and janet_assert, as they are really meant for internal usage.
I have not verified that this yet actually works with Rust's
bindgen.
64 bit nanboxing is kind of sketchy on non x86 architectures.
32 bit architectures seem to work better as the 32 implementation
doesn't rely on the format of the address space and layout of
double's in memory.
- Allow passing a table to fibers, which make fiber level scope easier.
- Add fiber/getenv, fiber/setenv, dyn, and setdyn
- Remove meta, *env*, and *doc-width*
- Some functions changed dignatures, and no longer take an env
Rather than edit the Makefile or the janet.h header yourself, use
janetconf.h to configure builds. This has the benefit of making it
easier to configure janet in a persitent but easy way.
A lot of refactoring larger integer types. Fix a number
of casting errors, but mostly rename things. Also try to
limit use of template-like macros as they bloat the binary
if not used in moderation. We were able to reduce the size of
typed array code as well by using a single view types.
