This includes a few separate changes:
- pass visibility information of declarations (depending on wether the
declaration was in a ```catala-metadata block or not)
- add reasonable hash computation functions to discriminate the interfaces. In
particular:
* Uids have a `hash` function that depends on their string, but not on their
actual uid (which is not stable between runs of the compiler) ; the existing
`hash` function and its uses have been renamed to `id`.
* The `Hash` module provides the tools to properly combine hashes, etc. While
we rely on `Hashtbl.hash` for the atoms, we take care not to use it on any
recursive structure (it relies on a bounded traversal).
- insert the hashes in the artefacts, and properly check and report those (for
OCaml)
**Remains to do**:
- Record and check the hashes in the other backends
- Provide a way to get stable inline-test outputs in the presence of module
hashes
- Provide a way to write external modules that don't break at every Catala
update.
--trace and --avoid-exceptions is a warning, but we want to be able to test with
the combination (in particular, api_web as forcing --trace, so we couldn't
detect its issues with exceptions).
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".
