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.
- Add a `-I` option that allows defined modules to be available from other
directories
- Add reporting of the number of successful / failed tests
- Locate the project root, and always run the commands from there
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)
this is more consistent, avoids empty stamp files and should make things simpler
overall.
The slightly tricky `-C` option is added to Catala so that it can be run from
_build while paths to source and destination files are still specified relative
to CWD (Ninja doesn't provide string manipulation, so otherwise we would have to
explicit both the `_build/dir/` and `dir/` versions of each path).
* Obsolete code for included tests has been removed
* The engine uses a proper lexer and is much simplified
* An inline test in the middle of the file now only "sees" the file up to that
point. This fixes an issue where we had spurious errors when a type error was
added at the end of a file, and it would pop up in tests before it. This makes
files including many tests much more practical.
* diffing and resetting the tests has been reintroduced (done at the moment in
Ninja, but for more control (count number of failed tests, etc.) we could put it
back into Clerk at some point
* The Catala CLI can now take an input from stdin (with the possibility to link
a (possibly fake) on-disk file for error reporting and file locations ; this
is useful for running tests)
We need a concrete intermediate target for e.g. transitive uses of `> Include`
for Ninja to correctly handle them.
Of course we could also unroll all transitive dependencies, but meh.
Note also that now tests now just generate the outputs but facilities for
diffing and resetting are temporarily absent.
Rather than require all files to be listed on the command-line (and having to
check consistency with `> Using` directives), the main catala CLI is now a bit
more clever.
⇒ There is a new assumption that a module name definition must match the file
name (up to case and extension) — with appropriate error handling to enforce it.
In exchange, `> Using` directives are now used to more transparently lookup the
appropriate `.catala_*` interfaces and the compiled artifacts for the used modules (handling transitive dependencies), with just standard `-I` flags for when they need to be looked up in different places.
rather than scattered in structures
The context is still hierarchical for defs though, so one needs to retrieve the
path to lookup in the correct context for info. Exceptions are enums and struct
defs, which are re-exposed at toplevel.
... and add a custom printer
Since this is a very common bug, this patch should gain us a lot of time when
debugging uncaught Not_found errors, because the element not found can now be
printed straight away without the need for further debugging.
The small cost is that one should remember to catch the correct specialised
`Foo.Map.Not_found _` exception rather than the standard `Not_found` (which
would type-check but not catch the exception). Using `find_opt` should be
preferred anyway.
Note that the other functions from the module `Map` that raise `Not_found` are
not affected ; these functions are `choose`, `min/max_binding`,
`find_first/last` which either take a predicate or fail on the empty map, so it
wouldn't make sense for them (and we probably don't use them much).
- We're able to say from the parser what the user could have written. It may not be complete due to the acceptable function of Menhir : it is only an indication given to the user (and not intended to be an adaptive documentation)
- .mli file added : module interface for suggestions
- Add a test that provides a typographical or a logical error.
- Documentation and type / name changes for suggestions
- Clearer (more detailed) error messages (see parser.messages, parser_driver.ml ->)
--> Parser_driver.ml : we're more precise and show all possible instructions to the user.
- Suggestions.ml : unimportant display changes + renaming
- suggestions.ml : improve details + algorithm implementation (see @Altgr reviews) + comments
- suggestions implementation : since we want to keep the same structure to display suggestion messages, Suggestion is no longer a formatted string but a string list. The goal is to have a similar formatted string for each suggestion, no matter what the error message is.
--> This involves changes to suggestions.mli, compiler/desugared/from_surface.ml (most important one) and compiler/surface/parser_driver.ml
This patch functorises the generic expression printer, in order to be able to
re-use it for end-user printing.
It makes it possible to have an end-user, localised printer that shares the code
for e.g. priority and automatic parens handling.
A generic AST rewriting that disambiguates variables (very simple to write with
bindlib) is also added and used in the OCaml backend for something safer than
just appending `_user` (-- this also handles clashing variables that could be
introduced during compilation which would have generated wrong code before this)
Finally, the `explain` plugin is adapted to use the new printer.
Ah, and `String.format_t` was tweaked to correctly print strings that might
contain unicode without breaking alignment, and should be used instead of
`format_string` or `%s` whenever unicode can be expected.
- 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
The upside of this is that each command can define specific flags ; there is a
small loss of backwards-compatibility in that the command needs to be the first
argument.
`catala --help` will now only show a summary of commands, with more specific
manpages shown on `catala CMD --help`.
Another point is that the plugin interface is extended to allow plugins to be
registered as subcommands and have their own flags (this will be very useful for
adding flags to the lazy/dot/explanation plugin that has many options).
Note that no efforts has yet been made to specialise the options, the previous
type was just made global for all subcommands.
The module is renamed to `Mark`, and functions renamed to avoid redundancy:
`Marked.mark` is now `Mark.add`
`Marked.unmark` is now `Mark.remove`
`Marked.map_under_mark` is now simply `Mark.map`
etc.
`Marked.same_mark_as` is replaced by `Mark.copy`, but with the arguments
swapped (which seemed more convenient throughout)
Since a type `Mark.t` would indicate a mark, and to avoid confusion, the type
`Marked.t` is renamed to `Mark.ed` as a shorthand for `Mark.marked` ; this part
can easily be removed if that's too much quirkiness.
This is a hack, but not a dirty one: a new command `catala pygmentize` is added,
which is just a wrapper around `pygmentize` that calls it with the proper lexers
defined.
The point is that this needs no installation, just a stock `pygmentize`
installation and the `catala` binary.
This leverages the embedded lexer already used for HTML output, and uses the
LaTeX pygments backend to colorise code directly, without the need for `minted`.
