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 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.
We will probably shift to NSIS as the default
installation method for windows. Shipping around a
single binary just doesn't cut it if we want to be able
to reliably use tools like `jpm` to build things.
- 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
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.
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
The system path can more easily modified at runtime,
and the module/cache and module/loading tables are now exposed.
Properly cache native modules as well.
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.
