- Fix the printer for scopes
- Improve the printer for struct types
- Remove `Print.expr'`. Use `Expr.format` as the function with simplified arguments instead.
- `Print.expr` no longer needs the context
- This removes the need for `expr ~debug` + `expr_debug` ;
use `Print.expr` for normal (non-debug) output,
and `Print.expr' ?debug ()` for possibly debug output.
- This improves consistency of debug expr output in many places
- Prints simplified operators (without type suffix) in non-verbose mode
(this patch also fixes some cases of `Expr.skip_wrappers` and leverages the
binder equality provided by Bindlib)
To try it (without installing Catala):
```shell-session
$ make plugins
$ export CATALA_PLUGINS=_build/default/compiler/plugins
$ dune exec -- catala lazy examples/aides_logement/tests/tests_calcul_apl_locatif.catala_fr -s Exemple2
```
Keep in mind that this is a work-in-progress prototype :)
This is a hack, but not a dirty one: a new command `catala pygmentize` is added,
which is just a wrapper around `pygmentize` that calls it with the proper lexers
defined.
The point is that this needs no installation, just a stock `pygmentize`
installation and the `catala` binary.
Fixes#378
- the plugins are compiled as libraries rather than with `executable`, so that
dune is able to install them
- they get installed to `lib/catala/plugins/<plugin-name>/<plugin-name>.cmxs`
- the lookup for plugins is now recursive to cope with the plugin subdirectories
in the point above
Some typing errors are changed a little, because they get triggered during the
typing of the disambiguation pass, which does not specify the expected return
type (it's an expected invariant that it should not be needed for
disambiguation).
It would be possible to still specify these types during disambiguation just to
get the same errors, but since the newer ones don't appear to be clearly worse
at the moment, it has not been done.
This is just a bunch of `sed` calls:
```shell
sed -i 's/ScopeSet/ScopeName.Set/g' compiler/**/*.ml*
sed -i 's/ScopeMap/ScopeName.Map/g' compiler/**/*.ml*
sed -i 's/StructMap/StructName.Map/g' compiler/**/*.ml*

... and reformat
Many changes got bundled in here and would be too tedious to separate.
Closes#330
See changes in `shared_ast/definitions.ml` to check the main point.
- the biggest change is a modification of the struct and enum types in
expressions: they are now stored as `Map`s throughout passes, and no longer
converted to indexed lists after scopelang. Their accessors are also changed,
and tuples only exist in Lcalc (they're used for closure conversion).
This implied adding some more information in the contexts, to keep the mapping
between struct fields and scope output variables. It should also be much more
robust (no longer relying on assumptions upon different orderings).
- another very pervasive change is more cosmetic: the rewrite of the main AST to
use inline records, labelling individual subfields.
- moved the checks for correct definitions and accesses of structures from
`Scope_to_dcalc` to `Typing`
- defining some new shallow iterators in module `Shared_ast.Expr`, and
factorising a few same-pass rewriting functions accordingly (closure
conversion, optimisations, etc.)
- some smaller style improvements (ensuring we use the proper compare/equal
functions instead of `=` in a few `when` closes, for example)
Quite a few changes are included here, some of which have some extra
implications visible in the language:
- adds the `Scope of { -- input_v: value; ... }` construct in the language
- handle it down the pipeline:
* `ScopeCall` in the surface AST
* `EScopeCall` in desugared and scopelang
* expressions are now traversed to detect dependencies between scopes
* transformed into a normal function call in dcalc
- defining a scope now implicitely defines a structure with the same name, with
the output variables of the scope defined as fields. This allows us to type
the return value from a scope call and access its fields easily.
* the implications are mostly in surface/name_resolution.ml code-wise
* the `Scope_out` struct that was defined in scope_to_dcalc is no longer
needed/used and the fields are no longer renamed (changes some outputs; the
explicit suffix for variables with multiple states is ignored as well)
* one benefit is that disambiguation works just like for structures when there
are conflicts on field names
* however, it's now a conflict if a scope and a structure have the same
name (side-note: issues with conflicting enum / struct names or scope
variables / subscope names were silent and are now properly reported)
- you can consequently use scope names as types for variables as well. Writing
literals is not allowed though, they can only be obtained by calling the
scope.
Remaining TODOs:
- context variables are not handled properly at the moment
- error handling on invalid calls
- tests show a small error message regression; lots of examples will need
tweaking to avoid scope/struct name or struct fields / output variable
conflicts
- add a `->` syntax to make struct field access distinct from scope output var
access, enforced with typing. This is expected to reduce confusion of users
and add a little typing precision.
- document the new syntax & implications (tutorial, cheat-sheet)
- a consequence of the changes is that subscope variables also can now be typed.
A possible future evolution / simplification would be to rewrite subscopes as
explicit scope calls early in the pipeline. That could also allow to manipulate
them as expressions (bind them in let-ins, return them...)
This was the only reasonable solution I found to the issue raised
[here](https://github.com/CatalaLang/catala/pull/334#discussion_r987175884).
This was a pretty tedious rewrite, but it should now ensure we are doing things
correctly. As a bonus, the "smart" expression constructors are now used
everywhere to build expressions (so another refactoring like this one should be
much easier) and this makes the code overall feel more
straightforward (`Bindlib.box_apply` or `let+` no longer need to be visible!)
---
Basically, we were using values of type `gexpr box = naked_gexpr marked box`
throughout when (re-)building expressions. This was done 99% of the time by
using `Bindlib.box_apply add_mark naked_e` right after building `naked_e`. In
lots of places, we needed to recover the annotation of this expression later on,
typically to build its parent term (to inherit the position, or build the type).
Since it wasn't always possible to wrap these uses within `box_apply` (esp. as
bindlib boxes aren't a monad), here and there we had to call `Bindlib.unbox`,
just to recover the position or type. This had the very unpleasant effect of
forcing the resolution of the whole box (including applying any stored closures)
to reach the top-level annotation which isn't even dependant on specific
variable bindings. Then, generally, throwing away the result.
Therefore, the change proposed here transforms
- `naked_gexpr marked Bindlib.box` into
- `naked_gexpr Bindlib.box marked` (aliased to `boxed_gexpr` or `gexpr boxed` for
convenience)
This means only
1. not fitting the mark into the box right away when building, and
2. accessing the top-level mark directly without unboxing
The functions for building terms from module `Shared_ast.Expr` could be changed
easily. But then they needed to be consistently used throughout, without
manually building terms through `Bindlib.apply_box` -- which covers most of the
changes in this patch.
`Expr.Box.inj` is provided to swap back to a box, before binding for example.
Additionally, this gives a 40% speedup on `make -C examples pass_all_tests`,
which hints at the amount of unnecessary work we were doing --'
it's now done explicitely from the driver, which allows to do it before typing
and is more consistent; the information was already forwarded to the later
compilation stages separately from the program AST anyway.
Note that this is incomplete in the case of desugared/scopelang because we only
have typing for expressions yet, and the scope/program structure is different.
The code allows passing an environment of types for scope/subscope variables in
order to resolve `ELocation` terms, but that's unused until we implement
scopelang typing at the scope level.
This moves dcalc/typing.ml to shared_ast, and generalises the input type, but
without yet implementing the extra cases (these are all `assert false`): it's
just a first step.
Note that there were significant differences between the two printers (see the test diff!). Overall the `dcalc` one seemed newer so that's what I took, with only the required additions from `lcalc` (exceptions, raise and catch)
Handling code should now be reasonably well sorted between `Shared_ast.{Var,Expr,Scope,Program}`
The function parameters (e.g. `make_let_in`) could be removed from the
scope handling functions since now the types are compatible, which
makes them much easier to read.
It's not expected to stay that way forever, but some additional effort will be required for them to preserve (or restore) types; until then, be safe and don't forward possibly incorrect information.
Should make it much easier and less error-prone to add new options. There is
still a bit of boiler-plate, but at least it's contained in the Cli.options
function and doesn't transpire in the interfaces.
This avoids many intermediate calls to e.g. `Format.asprintf`; should result in
some cases in "more correct" use of `Format`¹, avoid the computation of unused
debug strings, and make the code more readable.
¹ for `Format` to work as expected, all intermediate calls need to go through
it. Some cases of formatting to an intermediate string then printing through Format
again are still present, but this makes the situation better.
