This is quite fiddly as it the blocks might be in different contexts so
we need to keep track of which variables correspond in the scrutinees of
the blocks. Once that's done, check the terms at the leaves convert,
then check the corresponding variables convert.
This may not be perfect yet, because we only look at case scrutinees to
find correspondence. It might also be a bit slower than it could be, but
at least these checks are quite rare.
Fixes#208 and maybe some others?
Allows quoting a term back to a TTImp. Test reflection007 shows one
possible use for this, building a reflected, type safe, representation
of an expression.
So the type of Elab now gives the expected type that's being elaborated
to, meaning that we can run 'check' in the middle of scripts and use the
result.
On the LHS, we want to match against the reflected thing, so FC and
implicits need to turn into match anything patterns, or we won't match
anything at all. This means we can put quoted terms on the LHS, with
pattern variables under ~().
Instead of merely generating a locally unique name, use the existing
code for generating a new unique variable name in the unifier, which is
therefore globally unique.
This invokes a script of type Elab (). %runElan in a term invokes a
script of type Elab TT. The elaborator now pushes in that type, so that
it'll report an appropriate error if you give it a script of the wrong
type.
A %macro must always be fully applied. Whenever the elaborator
encounters a %macro application (except in a function LHS) it evaluates
the application and sends the result to %runElab. So:
%macro
foo : args -> Elab TT
...
def = foo a b c
is equivalent to
foo : args -> Elab TT
...
def = %runElab foo a b c
Including appropriate casts, and Num/Eq/Ord/Show implementations.
Also includes new primitives in Data.Buffer, and calls to foreign
functions in C as 'unsigned'.
If available (sometimes, say a top level expression, it might need
inferring so there'll be no goal available). Also add the ability to log
the current goal, or indeed any term.
Add %runElab and start on scripts, although all they can do so far is
check a term. This does gives us, sort of, "template Idris" (as
demonstrated in test reflection002)
Can't export a type which refers to a private name. This has caught a
couple of visibility errors in the libraries, code and tests, so they've
been updated too.
Don't get too excited yet - I want this in so that it doesn't get too
out of sync, but I still have to think about exactly how it's going to
work in practice.
This means it abstracts over the value syntactically, rather than by
value, and can significantly speed up elaboration where large types are
involved, at a cost of being less general. Try it if "with" is slow.
There are more flags we want on with (well, at least one: "proof")
This was taking too long, and adding too many things, because it was
going too deep in the name of having everything accessible at the REPL
and for the compiler. So, it's done a bit differently now, only chasing
everything on a "full" load (i.e., final load at the REPL)
This has some effects:
+ As systems get bigger, load time gets better (on my machine, checking
Idris.Main now takes 52s from scratch, down from 76s)
+ You might find import errors that you didn't previously get, because
things were being imported that shouldn't have been. The new way is
correct!
An unfortunate effect is that sometimes you end up getting "undefined
name" errors even if you didn't explicitly use the name, because
sometimes a module uses a name from another module in a type, which then
gets exported, and eventually needs to be reduced. This mostly happens
because there is a compile time check that should be done which I
haven't implemented yet. That is, public export definitions should only
be allowed to use names that are also public export. I'll get to this
soon.
As it was in Idris1 being able to override some, or introduce new, options to an Idris IPKG is beneficial. For example, generate code for multiple codegens from a single source.
Overridable options are:
+ `--quiet`
+ `--verbose`
+ `--timing`
+ `--dumpcases <file>`
+ `--dumplifted <file>`
+ `--dumpvmcode <file>`
+ `--debug-elab-check`
This is mostly to make it easier to write linear function types without
having to invent names for everything, which might be noisy. Also it
improves the display of linear function types when the name isn't used
in the scope.
I don't know how complete this is, but it certainly detects some of the
most obvious cases which are most likely to be bugs.
While I'm at it, this is as good a time as any to add a general way of
reporting warnings, similar to the way of reporting errors.
Still a couple of things to resolve in coverage and totality checking
before we can switch on %default, so don't expect quite the right
behaviour just yet. More progress though!
Also working on this has caught a few totality errors in the Idris 2
code base that Idris 1 missed... so these are fixed on the way.
