This prevents display of shadowed names from case blocks/where clauses
that are now unusable. It does mean that constraint arguments aren't
displayed, unless given an explicit name - this may not be good, since
we might want to know which constraints are in scope, so it may yet need
a little tweaking.
This is the result of running the command:
$ find . -name '*.idr' -type f -exec sed -i -E 's/\s+$//' {} +
I confirmed before running it that this would not affect any markdown
formatting in documentation comments.
Functions can be declared as %foreign with a list of calling
conventions, which a backend will work through until it finds one it can
understand. Currently implemented only in Chez backend. If this works
out, I'll implement it for Racket too, and remove the old primitive
functions.
There's a bit more boiler plate here than before, but it has the benefit
of being more extensible and portable between different back ends.
Some examples, pending proper documentation:
%foreign "C:puts,libc" "scheme:display"
putline : String -> PrimIO ()
%foreign "C:exp, libm.so.6, math.h"
fexp : Double -> Double
%foreign "C:initscr, ncurses_glue.so, ncurses.h"
prim_initscr : PrimIO ()
