These now have semantic menaings that are pretty difficult to
work around. Code that tries to maniuplate user8 and user9 signals
right now may be affected
When peg/replace or peg/replace-all are given a function to serve as the text
replacement, any captures produced by the PEG are passed as additional
arguments to that function.
Functions will be invoked with the matched text, and their result will be
coerced to a string and used as the new replacement text.
This also allows passing non-function, non-byteviewable values, which will be
converted into strings during replacement (only once, and only if at least
one match is found).
there was a request to improve the error message, but the whole function
has non-informative errors. (both functions, actually, since the code is
duplicated)
as such, instead of catching it directly, address the assumption that
led to the SIGSEGV and let it be caught by the functions themselves,
thus reusing existing error messages (which can then be improved
separately).
When there is no format to be found after a %, get_fmt_mapping returns
NULL. It then gets called against strlen, which is a typical SEGV.
Check for NULL aginst mapping, which signals a null format being
specified.
These functions are designed to make it easier to properly preserve the
sourcemap and tuple type in macros. This commit also modifies the threading
macros to make use of these functions.
While the old behavior was reasonable, it is not spelled out anywhere
in the documentation and was incidental rather than intentional.
Parameters of the same name of the function should probably take
precedence on name collision, following the principle of least surprise.
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.
Added underlying buffer support for buffer instances that cannot
reallocated underlying memory - useful for (small) memory mapped
files and other FFI utilties.
Doesn't really impart (much) file systtem information when used, and
can be used for a lot of things where file functions are used to process
in a stream.
The sandboxing API is meant to make janet a bit more attractive
for certain application embedding use cases. The sandboxing API
puts limits on what system resources the interpreter can access.
Upvalues are stored in the symbol slots structure as well, but
since they are always live, we repurpose the death_pc field to
refer to the environment index that we want to look at at runtime.
