https://github.com/enso-org/enso/pull/3764 introduced static wrappers for instance methods. Except it had a limitation to only be allowed for types with at least a single constructor.
That excluded builtin types as well which, by default, don't have them. This limitation is problematic for Array/Vector consolidation and makes builtin types somehow second-citizens.
This change lifts the limitation for builtin types only. Note that we do want to share the implementation of the generated builtin methods. At the same time due to the additional argument we have to adjust the starting index of the arguments.
This change avoids messing with the existing dispatch logic, to avoid unnecessary complexity.
As a result it is now possible to call builtin types' instance methods, statically:
```
arr = Array.new_1 42
Array.length arr
```
That would previously lead to missing method exception in runtime.
# Important Notes
The only exception is `Nothing`. Primarily because it requires `Nothing` to have a proper eigentype (`Nothing.type`) which would messed up a lot of existing logic for no obvious benefit (no more calling of `foo=Nothing` in parameters being one example).
Compiler performed name resolution of literals in type signatures but would silently fail to report any problems.
This meant that wrong names or forgotten imports would sneak in to stdlib.
This change introduces 2 main changes:
1) failed name resolutions are appended in `TypeNames` pass
2) `GatherDiagnostics` pass also collects and reports failures from type
signatures IR
Updated stdlib so that it passes given the correct gatekeepers in place.
This removes the special handling of polyglot exceptions and allows matching on Java exceptions in the same way as for any other types.
`Polyglot_Error`, `Panic.catch_java` and `Panic.catch_primitive` are gone
The change mostly deals with the backslash of removing `Polyglot_Error` and two `Panic` methods.
`Panic.catch` was implemented as a builtin instead of delegating to `Panic.catch_primitive` builtin that is now gone.

It appears that we were always adding builtin methods to the scope of the module and the builtin type that shared the same name.
This resulted in some methods being accidentally available even though they shouldn't.
This change treats differently builtins of types and modules and introduces auto-registration feature for builtins.
By default all builtin methods are registered with a type, unless explicitly defined in the annotation property.
Builtin methods that are auto-registered do not have to be explicitly defined and are registered with the underlying type.
Registration correctly infers the right type, depending whether we deal with static or instance methods.
Builtin methods that are not auto-registered have to be explicitly defined **always**. Modules' builtin methods are the prime example.
# Important Notes
Builtins now carry information whether they are static or not (inferred from the lack of `self` parameter).
They also carry a `autoRegister` property to determine if a builtin method should be automatically registered with the type.
1. Changes how we do monadic state – rather than a haskelly solution, we now have an implicit env with mutable data inside. It's better for the JVM. It also opens the possibility to have state ratained on exceptions (previously not possible) – both can now be implemented.
2. Introduces permission check system for IO actions.
Changelog
- fix reporting of runtime type for values annotated with warning
- fix visualizations of values annotated with warnings
- fix `Runtime.get_stack_trace` failure in interactive mode
Makes statics static. A type and its instances have different methods defined on them, as it should be. Constructors are now scoped in types, and can be imported/exported.
# Important Notes
The method of fixing stdlib chosen here is to just not. All the conses are exported to make all old code work. All such instances are marked with `TODO Dubious constructor export` so that it can be found and fixed.
This is a step towards the new language spec. The `type` keyword now means something. So we now have
```
type Maybe a
Some (from_some : a)
None
```
as a thing one may write. Also `Some` and `None` are not standalone types now – only `Maybe` is.
This halfway to static methods – we still allow for things like `Number + Number` for backwards compatibility. It will disappear in the next PR.
The concept of a type is now used for method dispatch – with great impact on interpreter code density.
Some APIs in the STDLIB may require re-thinking. I take this is going to be up to the libraries team – some choices are not as good with a semantically different language. I've strived to update stdlib with minimal changes – to make sure it still works as it did.
It is worth mentioning the conflicting constructor name convention I've used: if `Foo` only has one constructor, previously named `Foo`, we now have:
```
type Foo
Foo_Data f1 f2 f3
```
This is now necessary, because we still don't have proper statics. When they arrive, this can be changed (quite easily, with SED) to use them, and figure out the actual convention then.
I have also reworked large parts of the builtins system, because it did not work at all with the new concepts.
It also exposes the type variants in SuggestionBuilder, that was the original tiny PR this was based on.
PS I'm so sorry for the size of this. No idea how this could have been smaller. It's a breaking language change after all.
This change modifies the current language by requiring explicit `self` parameter declaration
for methods. Methods without `self` parameter in the first position should be treated as statics
although that is not yet part of this PR. We add an implicit self to all methods
This obviously required updating the whole stdlib and its components, tests etc but the change
is pretty straightforward in the diff.
Notice that this change **does not** change method dispatch, which was removed in the last changes.
This was done on purpose to simplify the implementation for now. We will likely still remove all
those implicit selfs to bring true statics.
Minor caveat - since `main` doesn't actually need self, already removed that which simplified
a lot of code.
Significantly improves the polyglot Date support (as introduced by #3374). It enhances the `Date_Spec` to run it in four flavors:
- with Enso Date (as of now)
- with JavaScript Date
- with JavaScript Date wrapped in (JavaScript) array
- with Java LocalDate allocated directly
The code is then improved by necessary modifications to make the `Date_Spec` pass.
# Important Notes
James has requested in [#181755990](https://www.pivotaltracker.com/n/projects/2539304/stories/181755990) - e.g. _Review and improve InMemory Table support for Dates, Times, DateTimes, BigIntegers_ the following program to work:
```
foreign js dateArr = """
return [1, new Date(), 7]
main =
IO.println <| (dateArr.at 1).week_of_year
```
the program works with here in provided changes and prints `27` as of today.
@jdunkerley has provided tests for proper behavior of date in `Table` and `Column`. Those tests are working as of [f16d07e](f16d07e640). One just needs to accept `List<Value>` and then query `Value` for `isDate()` when needed.
Last round of changes is related to **exception handling**. 8b686b12bd makes sure `makePolyglotError` accepts only polyglot values. Then it wraps plain Java exceptions into `WrapPlainException` with `has_type` method - 60da5e70ed - the remaining changes in the PR are only trying to get all tests working in the new setup.
The support for `Time` isn't part of this PR yet.
More and more often I need a way to only recover a specific type of a dataflow error (in a similar manner as with panics). So the API for `Error.catch` has been amended to more closely resemble `Panic.catch`, allowing to handle only specific types of dataflow errors, passing others through unchanged. The default is `Any`, meaning all errors are caught by default, and the behaviour of `x.catch` remains unchanged.
A semi-manual s/this/self appied to the whole standard library.

In the compiler promoted to use constants instead of hardcoded
`this`/`self` whenever possible.
# Important Notes
The PR **does not** require explicit `self` parameter declaration for methods as this part
of the design is still under consideration.
This introduces a tiny alternative to our stdlib, that can be used for testing the interpreter. There are 2 main advantages of such a solution:
1. Performance: on my machine, `runtime-with-intstruments/test` drops from 146s to 65s, while `runtime/test` drops from 165s to 51s. >6 mins total becoming <2 mins total is awesome. This alone means I'll drink less coffee in these breaks and will be healthier.
2. Better separation of concepts – currently working on a feature that breaks _all_ enso code. The dependency of interpreter tests on the stdlib means I have no means of incremental testing – ALL of stdlib must compile. This is horrible, rendered my work impossible, and resulted in this PR.
