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.
This helps for temporarily setting vars in a safe
manner that is guaranteed not to leave vars in a bad state
(assuming that a fiber does not emit debug or use signal and
is never resumed).
This allows easy builds of the full interpreter with no
build system.
1. Get janet.c, janet.h, janetconf.h, and shell.c in a directory. Edit
janetconf.h as desired.
2. gcc shell.c janet.c -lm -ldl -O2 -o janet (on GNU-Linux for example)
3. ./janet -h (Yay!)
This makes it easier to get the CLI functionality when
embedding Janet, although the main reason is the init script
is now pre-compiled to bytecode when generating the boot image.
Flychecking will now work correctly with arity checking, and
will better handle imports. Well structured modules should interact
cleanly with the flychecker in a mostly safe manner, but maliciously
crafted modules can execute arbitrary code. As such, the flychecker is
not a good way to validate completely untrusted modules.
We also extend run-context with an :evaluator option to replace
:compile-only. This is more flexible and allows users to create their
own flychecker like functionality.
This allows some more optimizations when printing to
buffers or when output is disabled. It also makes printf
more consistent with print and prin (Same with eprintf).
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 help catch a number of errors, but it
is a very shallow implementation of type checking. It will
catch some common misuses of functions at compile time
rather than runtime.
