- 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
Two interdependent changes here:
1. Enforce all instances of Shared_ast.gexpr to use the generic type for marks.
This makes the interfaces a tad simpler to manipulate: you now write
`('a, 'm) gexpr` rather than `('a, 'm mark) gexpr`.
2. Define a polymorphic `Custom` mark case for use by pass-specific annotations.
And leverage this in the typing module
- `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 :)
I made some changes in the meantime, and had to factorise e.g. the handling of
the `EEmptyError` case, but this is the simple approach type-wise of making the
function type for `∀ 'a. 'a —> 'a` (with `assert false` match cases), then
restricting its type do `dcalc` or `lcalc` in the `.mli`.
