- 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
Rather than edit the Makefile or the janet.h header yourself, use
janetconf.h to configure builds. This has the benefit of making it
easier to configure janet in a persitent but easy way.
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.
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.
Before, we used a local setjmp/longjmp for error handling.
Using janet_panic means errors can be more easily expressive and
code can be smaller.
However, we still need to make vector memory get gc collected, as
panics can cause the runtime to skip janet_v_frees.
A consistent style should help with contributors and
readability. We use astyle as the formatter as can make a pretty
good approximation of the current style and my preferred style.
Astyle can be found at http://astyle.sourceforge.net/astyle.html
This should speed up start time and reduce malloc/free
usage to about 15% of what is what previously for startup.
The current cost is slightly larger binary as the representaion
of the image is currently less compact than source code.
to make janet function calls easier and faster from C (still
needs an object pool for fibers, though). Fix bug in scan-number
and add many more peg tests.
Error handling is implemented with setjmp/longjmp so code
can be more concise. This required a very large but straight forward refactor for all
of the libraries.
remove some complexity and unexpected behavior around numbers in
general as all numbers are the same number type, IEEE 754 double
precision numbers. Also update examples and tests, some of which were
out of date.
Some more testing may be needed for new changes to numbers.
