Fixes a regression after the change in #368, which converted all
integer division to return a decimal. The code generation backend
was still using the integer division operand `//`, which is not
overloaded by class `Integer` in the catala runtime.
* temporary and undocumented while waiting for discussion an approval
* previous patches already allowed definition (at toplevel) but there was no
syntax for calls
* no syntax for multi-args _local_ functions yet
... that's one less thing to do
Two notes:
- Updated the syntax errors in
examples/NSW_community_gaming/tests/test_nsw_social_housie.catala_en ; those
probably aren't expected though, but fixing them is outside my purpose here
- There is consensus on keeping the error messages in English; however, here,
the error messages include hints on the syntax to use, which are only valid
for users of the English syntax.
* A possible solution would be to apply cppo on parser.messages, using the
macros already defined in lexer_LANG.cppo.ml. However, we would then need to
tweak (or duplicate!) the parser to use the messages for the correct language.
Furthermore, updating and merging the file on parser updates would need
special care.
* Another, maybe easier solution would be manual processing, using a custom
escape in the parser messages and rewriting that at runtime when printing
the message. We would need to extract a runtime version of the macro
definitions though.
Fixes#378
- the plugins are compiled as libraries rather than with `executable`, so that
dune is able to install them
- they get installed to `lib/catala/plugins/<plugin-name>/<plugin-name>.cmxs`
- the lookup for plugins is now recursive to cope with the plugin subdirectories
in the point above
Using them will lead to "not supported yet" errors soon after, but it's a start
to get to handling separate modules.
The idea is that `foo` can now also be `Bar.foo`, `Bar.Baz.foo`, `foo.Struc.fld`
can be `foo.Bar.Baz.Struc.fld`, etc.
The next steps are to enable the lookups to handle this paths, and to provide
ways to load the external modules to feed these lookups.
Closes#373
This forbids expressions such as `a and b or c`, avoiding the need to set an
implicit priority between `and`, `or` and `xor`, which I find error-prone.
Instead, when that appears, a message asking for explicit parentheses will be
shown to the user.
Implementation note: since that would be extremely tedious to do in the parser
directly, the parser is set to allow right-associativity without discrimination
for the logical operators, and the check is done during desugaring. This
required to explicit parentheses in the surface AST to discriminate the case
where the priority was explicit.
In particular `CONSTRUCTOR` is no longer valid for paths & modules, so let's
switch to the more usual LIDENT / UIDENT for lower- or upper- case idents.
cd compiler/surface
sed -i 's/VERTICAL/BAR/g' *
sed -i 's/BRACKET/BRACE/g' *
sed -i 's/SQUARE/BRACKET/g' *
sed -i 's/IDENT/LIDENT/g' *
sed -i 's/CONSTRUCTOR/UIDENT/g' *
Define a single expression rule with disambiguation using token priorities
instead of the many layers of intermediate rules with explicit sub-terms.
Also replaces `in` for collection operations (`x+1 for foo in [1;2]`) with
`among` which helps a lot.
Overloads are powerful, but let's clearly draw the line right now between
convenience and type safety, for when someone else will want to add new
operators.
it's unlikely to be used in any law, and likely to be cause for confusion.
best of all, the new operator has a different return type, which
ensures no inconsistency with the change can get overlooked.
This uses the same disambiguation mechanism put in place for
structures, calling the typer on individual rules on the desugared AST
to propagate types, in order to resolve ambiguous operators like `+`
to their strongly typed counterparts (`+!`, `+.`, `+$`, `+@`, `+$`) in
the translation to scopelang.
The patch includes some normalisation of the definition of all the
operators, and classifies them based on their typing policy instead of
their arity. It also adds a little more flexibility:
- a couple new operators, like `-` on date and duration
- optional type annotation on some aggregation constructions
The `Shared_ast` lib is also lightly restructured, with the `Expr`
module split into `Type`, `Operator` and `Expr`.
Some typing errors are changed a little, because they get triggered during the
typing of the disambiguation pass, which does not specify the expected return
type (it's an expected invariant that it should not be needed for
disambiguation).
It would be possible to still specify these types during disambiguation just to
get the same errors, but since the newer ones don't appear to be clearly worse
at the moment, it has not been done.
This is just a bunch of `sed` calls:
```shell
sed -i 's/ScopeSet/ScopeName.Set/g' compiler/**/*.ml*
sed -i 's/ScopeMap/ScopeName.Map/g' compiler/**/*.ml*
sed -i 's/StructMap/StructName.Map/g' compiler/**/*.ml*

sed -i 's/SubScopeNameMap/SubScopeName.Map/g' compiler/**/*.ml*
sed -i 's/SubScopeNameSet/SubScopeName.Set/g' compiler/**/*.ml*
```
... and reformat
Many changes got bundled in here and would be too tedious to separate.
Closes#330
See changes in `shared_ast/definitions.ml` to check the main point.
- the biggest change is a modification of the struct and enum types in
expressions: they are now stored as `Map`s throughout passes, and no longer
converted to indexed lists after scopelang. Their accessors are also changed,
and tuples only exist in Lcalc (they're used for closure conversion).
This implied adding some more information in the contexts, to keep the mapping
between struct fields and scope output variables. It should also be much more
robust (no longer relying on assumptions upon different orderings).
- another very pervasive change is more cosmetic: the rewrite of the main AST to
use inline records, labelling individual subfields.
- moved the checks for correct definitions and accesses of structures from
`Scope_to_dcalc` to `Typing`
- defining some new shallow iterators in module `Shared_ast.Expr`, and
factorising a few same-pass rewriting functions accordingly (closure
conversion, optimisations, etc.)
- some smaller style improvements (ensuring we use the proper compare/equal
functions instead of `=` in a few `when` closes, for example)
