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.
This will prevent these functions from being run
with empty strings, which usually produces useless
output, as the internal string search algorithm will
never "find" empty strings. This is by design, as it is
not always obvious which empty strings should be found in
the search text.
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.
(backmatch [tag?]) is similar to a back reference in regular expressions
(NOT to backwards capture in a peg). It only matches a pattern if
it exactly matches the text of the last capture. It does not consume
or push any captures to the capture stack.
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 lets us build a smaller binary. The minimal tested
binary on x86-64 (with -Os, -s, and all options that shrink binary size
turned on) is about 240 kB.
- 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
janet_vm_return_reg should only be set when janet_continue
is called. Otherwise, a panic may dump it's error message in
the wrong place, resulting in undefined behavior (often showing
the last return value or worse, segfaulting).
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.
