Comparison between different bracket and normal tuples
will now take into account the delimiter type. This solves strange
non-locality issues in the compiler due to this false equality, and is
more consistent with Janet's otherwise strong equality philosophy.
buffer/blit is difficult to use, and while buffer/push is the easiet
buffer manipulation function to use it only appends to the buffer.
buffer/push-at lets users manipulate buffers at any index - useful
for buffers used as an in-memory databases, for example.
The issue is that there was no synchronization on writes.
The stability of the test relied on the fact that the server
would read in an entire message in one call to ev/read, which
would _almost_ always happen since the messages are so small.
For to and thru, we need to restore eveytime through the loop since rules need
run with the right captures on the stack, especially if they have any
sort of backrefs.
Buffers make more sense for this function because one of their primary
use cases is working with bytes.
The tuple implementation was an array of floats, which is less
performant and ergonomic for common operations. (i.e: bit manipulation)
Buffers also have the advantage they are mutable, meaning the user
can write ints to an existing buffer.
Previously int/to-number would fail if the input was outside
the range of an int32.
Because Janet numbers are doubles,
they can safely store larger ints than an int32.
This commit updates int/to-number to restrict the
value to the range of integers a double can hold, instead of an int32.
(int/to-number value) converts an s64 or u64 to a number.
It restricts the value to the int32 range,
so that `int32?` will always suceeded when called on the result.
Nested expression in the quasiquote were being compiled with the "hint"
flag passed to the expression compilation, essentially telling the
compiler to put intermediates into the final slot, possibly overwriting
other intermediate values. This fix removes that flags on any recursive
calls to quasiquote.
This commit adds support for using & _ syntax to bind the remaining
values in an array in the match macro.
The commit also adds a few tests for the new syntax in suite0008
Add support for using [& rest] to match the remaining values
in an array or tuple when destructuring.
the rest pattern is implemented by pushing remaining values in the
rhs to the stack once & is found on the lhs.
Then tuple is called and the result is assigned
to the next symbol on the lhs.
This commit DOES NOT implement handling for malformed patterns.
