This uses the same disambiguation mechanism put in place for
structures, calling the typer on individual rules on the desugared AST
to propagate types, in order to resolve ambiguous operators like `+`
to their strongly typed counterparts (`+!`, `+.`, `+$`, `+@`, `+$`) in
the translation to scopelang.
The patch includes some normalisation of the definition of all the
operators, and classifies them based on their typing policy instead of
their arity. It also adds a little more flexibility:
- a couple new operators, like `-` on date and duration
- optional type annotation on some aggregation constructions
The `Shared_ast` lib is also lightly restructured, with the `Expr`
module split into `Type`, `Operator` and `Expr`.
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*

... 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)
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 --'
This will allow to unify with types used earlier in the
pipeline (`Scopelang.Ast.typ`).
It seems cleaner! But some areas may warrant a later clean-up, in particular
handling of options and their types in the backends, or possible name conflicts
of structs/enums with built-in types when printing.
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.
