They are to become citizens of the same class if we want to allow
output-subscopes (without unnecessary complications like deconstructing and
reconstructing the same structure). And it's reasonable to assume that they
share the same namespace.
With this we should shortly collapse the (internal) ambiguity between
- `subscope.subvar`: access to a variable within a subscope
- `subscope.subfield`: access to a field of the output structure contained in a
subscope variable
With the subscope a variable, these should now become strictly equivalent, so
the plan is that the first could be removed.
- This adds a `catala depends` command that recursively tracks module dependency.
It can then be used by Clerk for linking.
- Generation of cmo object files are added for OCaml (we only built native
objects, but jsoo requires bytecode).
- Some fixes to the generation of value embed/deembed shims (related to types
coming from different modules ; add support for options ; etc.)
This allows for retyping after monomorphisation: a new function just extracts
the return type of the operator, without checking the operand types.
Also to avoid multiplying function arguments around the typer, the flags have
been gathered in a record that is included in the typing environment; it's ok to
give them default values as long as these are the strictest.
so don't retype after monomorphisation, which is now possible as the pass itself
correctly preserves types.
In time the typer will need a special case to get knowledge of the new types and
modified operator types.
since it doesn't correctly propagate and update types. (Ideally it would, but
otherwise it would be better to remove the type annotations on the fly instead
of introducing wrong ones then cleaning them up).
With the new EAppOp node, the typing of operator application has changed and this causes some problems
with the example in test_scope/good/nothing.catala_en when retyping the LCalc to go to Scalc. This
commit changes the weird thing that for generating Scalc, the "typed" parameter was set to "untyped".
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.
it is useful e.g. to be able to print intermediate ASTs when they don't type, to
debug the typing errors. This is better than commenting the typing line each
time.
Note that the option is not available on all targets (esp. not for ocaml and
python outputs ; it's allowed on the interpreters for debugging purposes but I'm
not sure if that's a good idea)
