While the discussion about how to refactor test framework is not
finished (#1654), make this change: move `rm -rf build` in the
beginning of the test. For these reasons:
* it is useful to inspect the contents of the `build` directory
especially after the test failure
* if build crashes mid-test (e.g. process killed), next run should
not be affected by the `build` directory from the previous run
It's disappointing to have to do this, but I think necessary because
various issue reports have shown it to be unsound (at least as far as
inference goes) and, at the very least, confusing. This patch brings us
back to the basic rules of QTT.
On the one hand, this makes the 1 multiplicity less useful, because it
means we can't flag arguments as being used exactly once which would be
useful for optimisation purposes as well as precision in the type. On
the other hand, it removes some complexity (and a hack) from
unification, and has the advantage of being correct! Also, I still
consider the 1 multiplicity an experiment.
We can still do interesting things like protocol state tracking, which
is my primary motivation at least.
Ideally, if the 1 multiplicity is going to be more generall useful,
we'll need some kind of way of doing multiplicity polymorphism in the
future. I don't think subtyping is the way (I've pretty much always come
to regret adding some form of subtyping).
Fixes#73 (and maybe some others).
- Added initial implementations for terms and values
- Error messages converted to pretty printer
- Colorization for error messages
- Color and console width option both as command line and repl command
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.
