This is the beginning of a system for compiler warnings. This includes
linting, deprecation notices, and other compiler warnings that are best
detected by the `compile` function and don't require the partial
evalutaion of the flychecker.
`seed ^= hash_value(v) + 0x9e3779b9 + (seed << 6) + (seed >> 2);`
from https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/boost/hash_combine_id241013.html
The current way of combining hashes peforms poorly on hash values of
numbers. Changing the way hashes are combined canlead to a significant speed up:
```
time janet_new -e '(def tbl @{}) (loop [x :in (range 1000) y :in (range 1000)] (put tbl {0 x 1 y} true))'
3.77s user 0.08s system 99% cpu 3.843 total
time janet_orig -e '(def tbl @{}) (loop [x :in (range 1000) y :in (range 1000)] (put tbl {0 x 1 y} true))'
48.98s user 0.15s system 99% cpu 49.136 total
```
Also fix marshalling functions without full
sourcemapping information, as well as thread/receive
ignoring bad messages. Instead, thread/receive will error
on bad messages.
This way we can support fewer build configurations. Also, remove
all undefined behavior due to use of memcpy with NULL pointers. GCC
was exploiting this to remove NULL checks in some builds.
This means we can add new properties to abstract types without
breaking old code. We can also make simple abstract types without
needing to add many NULL fields to the type.
In some cases, one might want to disable what is currently
SipHash for speed / better security mechansims. For example, using
red black trees for caches rather than hash tables.
The hash key still needs to randomly initialized
for the security advantage, but this patch is a
step closer to avoiding hash based DOS.
Further work may including exposing the raw hash
function for use by abstract types who also choose to
implement hash.
On very long binding names > 256 characters, a buffer overrun would be
trigger in janet_cfuns. Not a huge issue, since this is not really code
that would ever be user facing, but we can fix this.
While C functions are not re-entrant, signaling from a C function
can be used to implement async returns. When resuming a fiber that
signalled from within a C function, the fiber is started after the
instruction that emitted the signal. The resume argument is used
as the return result from the c function.
Also make integer to size_t casts explicit rather than relying on
int32_t * sizeof(x) = size_t. This is kind of a personal preference for
this problem.
Because we use an amalgated build, feature
test macros should be set in a single file that
is included before any other headers, and is placed
at the top of the amalgamated build.
This unifies equality and comparison checking. Before, we had
separate functions and vm opcodes for comparing general values vs.
for comparing numbers, where the numberic functions were polymorphic and
had special cases for handling NaNs. By unfiying them, abstract types
can now better integrate with other number types and behave as keys.
For now, the old functions are aliased but will eventually be removed.
This adds several common patterns, which are defined in
boot.janet. This essentially gives more primitive patterns
to work with out of the box.
Fix build when JANET_REDUCED_OS is defined.
Rather than messing with janet_core_dictionary, we
instead cache the core enevironment, and pull out the
needed tables from there. This is more flexible, more correct, and
also exposes janet_resolve_core, which can be easily used from the C
API.
We moved the literals true and false into one tag
type, so we an extra tag for raw pointer types
(light userdata). These can be used from the C API via
janet_wrap_pointer and janet_unwrap_pointer.
Allow overriding functions in the core libray to provide better
functionality on startup. Used to include our getline function in
the repl but use a simpler version in the core library.
