A finalizer can be attached to scratch allocations efficiently at any point in
it's lifecycle via janet_sfinalizer. Care was taken to keep allocations aligned
with platform alignment requirements.
A big drawbacks to this approach is the waste of up to 16 bytes per scratch
allocation in the case the scratch memory does not require a finalizer.
doc macro can take no arguments and print out
all bindings. Fix an issues with the vm skipping
over a breakpoint in some situations.
Add examples/debugger.janet for proof of concept
debugger.
When file was created with file/popen, the current optimization
of using fseek on windows fails due to windows not properly returning
and error code and just returning 0. Windows :(.
The new RNG wraps up state for random number generation, so
one can have many rngs and even marshal and unmarshal them.
Adds math/rng, math/rng-uniform, and math/rng-int.
Also introduce `in` and change semantics for
indexing out of range. This commit enforces stricter
invariants on keys when indexing via a function call
on the data structure, or the new `in` function.
The `get` function is now more lax about keys, and will
not throw an error when a bad key is used for a data structure, instead
returning the default value.
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 allows some more optimizations when printing to
buffers or when output is disabled. It also makes printf
more consistent with print and prin (Same with eprintf).
The print family of functions now writes output
to an optional buffer instead of a file bound to :out.
This means output can be more easily captured an redirected.
This should help catch a number of errors, but it
is a very shallow implementation of type checking. It will
catch some common misuses of functions at compile time
rather than runtime.
