We do this during desugaring because elaboration may insert valid
`?` values on the LHS (e.g. when elaborating things that cannot be
pattern-matched on and should be checked to be forced).
Where 'small' means they don't refer to other metavariables, except
right at the top level, and they don't go beyond a certain small depth,
arrived at by experimenting.
We already did a bit of this, but only for depth 0. The effect of this
is that we don't need to save out lots of metavariables, so ttc loading
is faster. This takes about 8s off the Idris build time!
It has always bothered me that 'False' got mapped to tag 1 and 'True'
got mapped to tag 0. This doesn't change much in practice (except that
perhaps a code generator might notice some useful things in intToBool)
but I'm changing it now anyway. Also added a couple of inlinings of
boolean operations.
This saves a small amount of allocation, especially since we never
actually look at the tag in a record. We can use null? for Nothing just
like for Nil.
This adds new `Int8`, `Int16`, `Int32` and `Int64` data types
to the compiler, thus working towards properly specified integer
types as discussed in #1048.
In addition, the following changes / corrections are made:
* Support casts from `Char`, `String`, and `Double` to all integer
types (and back). This fixes#1270.
* Make sure that all casts to limited-precision integers are properly
bounds checked (this was not the case so far for casts from `String`
and `Double` to `Int`)
* Add a thorough set of tests to make sure all bounds checks work
correctly for all supported casts and arithmetic operations
We've had these for a while, used for interface specialisation, but
they're not yet used anywhere else or properly documented. We should
document them soon, but for now, it's a useful performance boost to
always use the fast versions of pack/unpack/concat at runtime.
Also moves a couple to the prelude, to ensure that the fast versions are
defined in the same place as the 'normal' version so that the
transformation will always fire (that is, no need to import Data.String
for the transformation to work).
Previously, parameter block reused the same syntax as in Idris1:
```
parameters (v1 : t1, … , vn : tn)
```
Unfortunately this syntax presents some issues:
- It does not allow to declare implicit parameters
- It does not allow to specify which multiplicity to use
- It is inconsistent with the syntax used for named arguments elsewhere
in the language.
This change fixes those three problems by borrowing the syntax for
declaring type parameters in records:
```
parameters (v1 : t2) (v2 : t2) … (vn : tn)
```
It also enables other features like multiple declarations of arguments
with the same type:
```
parameters (v1, v2 : Type)
```
If we were to turn the whole check off instead of just making it
(not incase || isJust (isLHS mode)) then Issue962-case would fail
because `c` would get defaulted to `Integer` and not the `Int` that
is expected.
Rather than tracking how far we are from the project root in the various
Makefile commands, it's much easier to reference the build target with
with an absolute path.
On Unix-like operating systems stdio.h is usually line-buffered. As
putStr uses fputs(3) from stdio.h internally, output will be written to
standard out after a newline character is written to the buffer. Since
the prompt does not contain a newline, it will only be written to
standard output after the user presses return. I encountered this issue
on Alpine Linux which uses musl libc (instead of glibc). However, I
believe this issue is likely also reproducible with glibc. This commit
fixes this issue by flushing standard output after writing the prompt to
it. Surprisingly, `src/Idris/IDEMode/REPL.idr` already does this
correctly, `src/Idris/REPL.idr` does not though.
Given we keep getting tripped up by this, here we go:
* Namespaces
* Data names
* Record names
* Data constructor names (except for operators)
* Record constructor names (except for operators)
* Interface constructor names (except for operators)
