rather than scattered in structures
The context is still hierarchical for defs though, so one needs to retrieve the
path to lookup in the correct context for info. Exceptions are enums and struct
defs, which are re-exposed at toplevel.
- We're able to say from the parser what the user could have written. It may not be complete due to the acceptable function of Menhir : it is only an indication given to the user (and not intended to be an adaptive documentation)
- .mli file added : module interface for suggestions
- Add a test that provides a typographical or a logical error.
- Documentation and type / name changes for suggestions
This patch functorises the generic expression printer, in order to be able to
re-use it for end-user printing.
It makes it possible to have an end-user, localised printer that shares the code
for e.g. priority and automatic parens handling.
A generic AST rewriting that disambiguates variables (very simple to write with
bindlib) is also added and used in the OCaml backend for something safer than
just appending `_user` (-- this also handles clashing variables that could be
introduced during compilation which would have generated wrong code before this)
Finally, the `explain` plugin is adapted to use the new printer.
Ah, and `String.format_t` was tweaked to correctly print strings that might
contain unicode without breaking alignment, and should be used instead of
`format_string` or `%s` whenever unicode can be expected.
- Use separate functions for successive passes in module `Driver.Passes`
- Use other functions for end results printing in module `Driver.Commands`
As a consequence, it is much more flexible to use by plugins or libs and we no
longer need the complex polymorphic variant parameter.
This patch leverages previous changes to use Cmdliner subcommands and
effectively specialises the flags of each Catala subcommand.
Other changes include:
- an attempt to normalise the generic options and reduce the number of global
references. Some are ok, like `debug` ; some would better be further cleaned up,
e.g. the ones used by Proof backend were moved to a `Proof.globals` module and
need discussion. The printer no longer relies on the global languages and prints
money amounts in an agnostic way.
- the plugin directory is automatically guessed and loaded even in dev setups.
Plugins are shown by the main `catala` command and listed in `catala --help`
- exception catching at the toplevel has been refactored a bit as well; return
codes are normalised to follow the manpage and avoid codes >= 128 that are
generally reserved for shells.
Update tests
(first working dynload test with compilation done by manual calls to ocaml)
A few pieces of the puzzle:
* Loading of interfaces only from Catala files
* Registration of toplevel values in modules compiled to OCaml, to allow access
using dynlink
* Shady conversion from OCaml runtime values to/from Catala expressions, to
allow interop (ffi) of compiled modules and the interpreter
- 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)
