This makes it easier to document functions that
take keyword arguments and also prevents some allocations
with these functions. Before, this was possible via normal
variadic functions but created an intermediate tuple, and
the generated docstrings did not document the keys.
This should help address #81. Also hide janet_exit
and janet_assert, as they are really meant for internal usage.
I have not verified that this yet actually works with Rust's
bindgen.
64 bit nanboxing is kind of sketchy on non x86 architectures.
32 bit architectures seem to work better as the 32 implementation
doesn't rely on the format of the address space and layout of
double's in memory.
- 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).
By holding on a reference to argv for a long time, we
may trigger a use after free bug if the stack is resized. In
janet c function, argv is only vvalid up until the next stack operation
on the fiber. We could say that this is the dynamic lifetime of
argv.
To fix this, we copy extra arguments into a tuple, which is properly
garbage collected.
Some peg grammars could not capture values based on their position in a
larger grammar. This is a design limitation inheritted from LPeg, but no
longer needed as the replace mode is superseded by the accumulator mode,
which is more general if slightly harder to use.
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.
Instead of a int32_t as the length argument, use
size_t to match up better with typearray.c and probably
most idiomatic C libraries.
Janet uses int32_t for length internally for consistency, space
efficiency, ability to fit int32_t in double, and various
other reasons.
Typed arrays used size_t in serialization: C APIs will
also often use it, so it makes sense to add first class support
for it rather than assume it will will fint into an integer.
These changes should quiet some visual studio warnings.
Also make some spacing more consistent.
