As discussed in #549
NOTE: This implements only the direct tuple member access (syntax `foo.N` with N a
number)
- It seems more efficient to wait for the general pattern-matching rewrite to
handle pattern-matching on tuples
- Until then we keep the (now obsolete) `let (x, y) = pair in x` syntax, to
leave time for updates, but we won't be documenting it
Closes#592
A new node is added in `desugared`, and translated into an exploded structure
literal during translation to `scopelang`. The main reason to put it there is
that it needs to be after disambiguation, since that is used to discover the
type of the structure that is being updated.
Ensuring messages don't print overlong lines still requires some manual work:
- if they don't contain any `Format` directives (`%` or `@`), use `"%a"
Format.pp_print_text` to turn word-wrapping on.
- otherwise replace spaces with `@ ` to mark possible cutting points, as soon
that it's possible the line will get over 80 chars (most often, this means
starting before the first `%a`)
Lots of tests have a new warning because they were calling subscopes without
using their outputs. A better solution could be to mark these subscopes as
`output`, now that it's possible !
Through the syntax `var_name state state_name`.
Addresses #567, but
- requires documentation
- explicitely accessing states of the variable being defined is not allowed at
the moment (warning proposed in #567 requires a whole-expression check, which
is better done some place else entirely)
The primary use-case for this was to be able to run computations on a list of
structures, then return an updated list with some fields in the structures
modified : that is what we need for distribution of tax amounts among household
members, for example.
This patch has a few components:
- Addition of a test as an example for tax distributions
- Added a transformation, performed during desugaring, that -- where lists are
syntactically expected, i.e. after the `among` keyword -- turns a (syntactic)
tuple of lists into a list of tuples ("zipping" the lists)
- Arg-extremum transformation was also fixed to use an intermediate list instead
of computing the predicate twice
- For convenience, allow to bind multiple variables in most* list
operations (previously only `let in` and functions allowed it)
- Fixed the printer for tuples to differentiate them from lists
*Note: tuples are not yet allowed on the left-hand side of filters and
arg-extremums for annoying syntax conflict reasons.
This changes the `decl_ctx` to be toplevel only, with flattened references to
uids for most elements. The module hierarchy, which is still useful in a few
places, is kept separately.
Module names are also changed to UIDs early on, and support for module aliases
has been added (needs testing).
This resolves some issues with lookup, and should be much more robust, as well
as more convenient for most lookups.
The `decl_ctx` was also extended for string ident lookups, which avoids having
to keep the desugared resolution structure available throughout the compilation
chain.
* Obsolete code for included tests has been removed
* The engine uses a proper lexer and is much simplified
* An inline test in the middle of the file now only "sees" the file up to that
point. This fixes an issue where we had spurious errors when a type error was
added at the end of a file, and it would pop up in tests before it. This makes
files including many tests much more practical.
* diffing and resetting the tests has been reintroduced (done at the moment in
Ninja, but for more control (count number of failed tests, etc.) we could put it
back into Clerk at some point
* The Catala CLI can now take an input from stdin (with the possibility to link
a (possibly fake) on-disk file for error reporting and file locations ; this
is useful for running tests)
Rather than require all files to be listed on the command-line (and having to
check consistency with `> Using` directives), the main catala CLI is now a bit
more clever.
⇒ There is a new assumption that a module name definition must match the file
name (up to case and extension) — with appropriate error handling to enforce it.
In exchange, `> Using` directives are now used to more transparently lookup the
appropriate `.catala_*` interfaces and the compiled artifacts for the used modules (handling transitive dependencies), with just standard `-I` flags for when they need to be looked up in different places.
the small downside is that we lose a little bit of granularity by making
defining all the types at once (with `type ... and`) ; but one well-placed
annotation seems to be enough.
also discarded the `iter` visitor that was unused.
- 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
- Clearer (more detailed) error messages (see parser.messages, parser_driver.ml ->)
--> Parser_driver.ml : we're more precise and show all possible instructions to the user.
- Suggestions.ml : unimportant display changes + renaming
- suggestions.ml : improve details + algorithm implementation (see @Altgr reviews) + comments
- suggestions implementation : since we want to keep the same structure to display suggestion messages, Suggestion is no longer a formatted string but a string list. The goal is to have a similar formatted string for each suggestion, no matter what the error message is.
--> This involves changes to suggestions.mli, compiler/desugared/from_surface.ml (most important one) and compiler/surface/parser_driver.ml
