Closes#7677 by eliminating the _stackoverflow execption_. In general it seems _too adventurous_ to walk members of random foreign objects. There can be anything including cycles. Rather than trying to be too smart in these cases, let's just rely on `InteropLibrary.isIdentical` message.
# Important Notes
Calling `sort` on the `numpy` array no longer yields an error, but the array isn't sorted - that needs a fix on the Python side: https://github.com/oracle/graalpython/issues/354 - once it is in, the elements will be treated as numbers and the sorting happens automatically (without any changes in Enso code).
- Closes#7633
- Moves `Round_Spec.enso` from published `Standard.Test` into our `test/Tests` project; the `Table_Tests` that depend on it, simply `import enso_dev.Tests`.
- Changes the layout of the local libraries directory:
- It used to be `root/<namespace>/<name>`.
- Now it is `root/<dir>` - the namespace and name are now read from `package.yaml` instead.
- Adds the parent directory of the current project to the default `ENSO_LIBRARY_PATH`.
- It is treated as a secondary path, so the default `ENSO_HOME/lib` still takes precedence.
- This allows projects to reference and load 'sibling' projects easily - the only requirement is for the project to enable `prefer-local-libraries: true` or add the other local project to its edition. The edition resolution logic is **not changed**.
This is the first part of the #5158 umbrella task. It closes#5158, follow-up tasks are listed as a comment in the issue.
- Updates all prototype methods dealing with `Value_Type` with a proper implementation.
- Adds a more precise mapping from in-memory storage to `Value_Type`.
- Adds a dialect-dependent mapping between `SQL_Type` and `Value_Type`.
- Removes obsolete methods and constants on `SQL_Type` that were not portable.
- Ensures that in the Database backend, operation results are computed based on what the Database is meaning to return (by asking the Database about expected types of each operation).
- But also ensures that the result types are sane.
- While SQLite does not officially support a BOOLEAN affinity, we add a set of type overrides to our operations to ensure that Boolean operations will return Boolean values and will not be changed to integers as SQLite would suggest.
- Some methods in SQLite fallback to a NUMERIC affinity unnecessarily, so stuff like `max(text, text)` will keep the `text` type instead of falling back to numeric as SQLite would suggest.
- Adds ability to use custom fetch / builder logic for various types, so that we can support vendor specific types (for example, Postgres dates).
# Important Notes
- There are some TODOs left in the code. I'm still aligning follow-up tasks - once done I will try to add references to relevant tasks in them.
Removing special handling of `AtomConstructor` in `Meta.is_a` check.
# Important Notes
A lot of tests are about to fail. Many of them indirectly call `Meta.is_a` with a constructor rather than type.
# Important Notes
Note that one cannot
```
import Standard.Table as Table_Module
```
because of the 2-component name restriction that gets desugared to `Standard.Table.Main` and we have to write
```
import Standard.Table.Main as Table_Module
```
in a few places. Once we move `Json.to_table` extension this can be improved.
- Removed `Dubious constructor export` from Examples, Geo, Google_Api, Image and Test.
- Updated Google_Api project to meet newer code standards.
- Restructured `Standard.Test`:
- `Main.enso` now exports `Bench`, `Faker`, `Problems`, `Test`, `Test_Suite`
- `Test.Suite` methods moved into a `Test_Suite` type.
- Moved `Bench.measure` into `Bench` type.
- Separated the reporting to a `Test_Reporter` module.
- Moved `Faker` methods into `Faker` type.
- Removed `Verbs` and `.should` method.
- Added `should_start_with` and `should_contain` extensions to `Any`.
- Restructured `Standard.Image`:
- Merged Codecs methods into `Image`.
- Export `Image`, `Read_Flag`, `Write_Flag` and `Matrix` as types from `Main.enso`.
- Merged the internal methods into `Matrix` and `Image`.
- Fixed `Day_Of_Week` to be exported as a type and sort the `from` method.
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.
Modified UppercaseNames to now resolve methods without an explicit `here` to point to the current module.
`here` was also often used instead of `self` which was allowed by the compiler.
Therefore UppercaseNames pass is now GlobalNames and does some extra work -
it translated method calls without an explicit target into proper applications.
# Important Notes
There was a long-standing bug in scopes usage when compiling standalone expressions.
This resulted in AliasAnalysis generating incorrect graphs and manifested itself only in unit tests
and when running `eval`, thus being a bit hard to locate.
See `runExpression` for details.
Additionally, method name resolution is now case-sensitive.
Obsolete passes like UndefinedVariables and ModuleThisToHere were removed. All tests have been adapted.
- Removed `select` method.
- Removed `group` method.
- Removed `Aggregate_Table` type.
- Removed `Order_Rule` type.
- Removed `sort` method from Table.
- Expanded comments on `order_by`.
- Update comment on `aggregate` on Database.
- Update Visualisation to use new APIs.
- Updated Data Science examples to use new APIs.
- Moved Examples test out of Tests to own test.
# Important Notes
Need to get Examples_Tests added to CI.
