Make more use of the built in GC code for abstracts to
be sure things are more correct. Issue before was streams could
be freed before IOCP events arrived.
When peg/replace or peg/replace-all are given a function to serve as the text
replacement, any captures produced by the PEG are passed as additional
arguments to that function.
Functions will be invoked with the matched text, and their result will be
coerced to a string and used as the new replacement text.
This also allows passing non-function, non-byteviewable values, which will be
converted into strings during replacement (only once, and only if at least
one match is found).
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.
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.
Try to have better behavior when mixing sub-hashes that are not uniform and
randomly distributed. Premultiply by a large prime before mixing to
"spread entropy" if it is concentrated in a certain subset of bits.
We did not allow arbitrary utf8 to be printed with %j, even though the parser
allows. Thos changes uses the existing built in utf8 detectiotion to
exclude only unprintable symbols from the docstring.
Also fix marshalling functions without full
sourcemapping information, as well as thread/receive
ignoring bad messages. Instead, thread/receive will error
on bad messages.
