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.
The break special form can break out of both loops
and functions with an early (nil) return. Mainly useful
for generated code in macros, and should probably be discouraged
in user written code.
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.
We need to be able to detect tuple type from janet code, otherwise
tuples will contain hidden state. The tuple/type function is able
to detect the flags in the tuple so the programmer can access them
if needed.
