Allows getting more information about files. This
is really useful for writing software that needs to inspect
the file system (like a static site generator). We still need
a way to iterate directories though.
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.
We moved the literals true and false into one tag
type, so we an extra tag for raw pointer types
(light userdata). These can be used from the C API via
janet_wrap_pointer and janet_unwrap_pointer.
If -p flag is not set, we should bail on all three kinds
of errors, not just runtime errors. This includes
parse and compile errors. Before, parse and compile errors
were not properly affected by the :exit parameter to require, which
in turn caused scripts to not bail on parse or compile errors.
Using the new break special form, the loop
macro was cleaned up. Loop bindings are also
able to be used immediately after declaration, so
forms like (loop [x :range [0 10] :while (< x 5)] (print x)) will
now compile correctly.
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.
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.
