- `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)
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.
Command used: `sed -i 's/\([-+*/><=]=\?\)[.$@^€$]/\1/g' **/*/*.catala_*`
The overload test, of course, is kept unchanged and ensures that explicit
operators still work.
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.
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)
Normally I would make sure this is not by default, or at leat disableable; but
here the code we print may contain utf8 anyway, so the terminal really needs to
support it. Anyway, it's just a little fancier, doesn't add much.
a quick fix for now, ideally we want an option for editor-friendly output.
But for now this is a very cheap way to at least have clickable error messages
which are a big time-saver.
This is a workaround (but corresponds to what was executed before) and means
that we re-explore all exprs to look for free variables.
The proper fix will be to store boxed_exprs inside scopes instead.
These are just variable renumberings, and type error message changes but still
pointing to the same information; the latter are slightly better in general,
pointing to actual expressions rather than scope declarations.
Before: `ELEMENT in SET`; now: `SET contains ELEMENT`
Using the `in` keyword was causing conflicts and blocking #203.
Current proposal has `contient` for the French syntax, and is untranslated (`contains`) for Polish.
I removed the '.out' extension for now to preserve the test output file names and avoid a million file renames.
This makes the patch easier to read, and we can do the rename easily in another patch afterwards, without mixing with semantic changes.
