As it was, there was significant backtracking for big expressions,
getting to the end, not finding a **, so having to try again for
application expressions. Fixes#532
This has involved quite a bit of reorganisation and some improvements in
resugaring so that the results look nice. In summary:
* Expression search now gives back a RawImp rather than a checked term,
which allows it to include case expressions
* Case with one pattern is resugared to a destructuring let
* Some name generation issues address in function generation
We look at intermediate results for local variables which are functions
that return a concrete type, or recursive calls that return a single
constructor type. In these cases, we:
* let bind the local variable/recursive call
* generate a new definition for the scope, as a 'case' function
When we recursively generate the definition, it's a bit more restricted
so as not to explode the search space. We only take the first result, we
only look one constructor deep, and we go right to left on variable
splitting so only deconstruct the name we've just added.
These continue the search from :ps and :gd next respectively, giving the
next search result until there are no more results.
Correspondingly, added ':proof-search-next' and ':generate-def-next' in
IDE mode, which continue the search from the previous ':proof-search'
and ':generate-def' respectively.
...until the definition is complete. This is necessary since sometimes
information outside the case block can help resolve interfaces, and in
the simplest case, we might just have delayed resolving a default
Integer. It turns out this was also an obscure bug waiting to happen
with coverage checking of nested case blocks (so there's a test update
there too).
Fixes#443
In a 'Bind', normalise the result of the first action, rather than
quoting the HNF. This improves performance since the HNF could be quite
big when quoted back.
Ideally, we wouldn't have to quote and unquote here, and we can probably
achieve this by tinkering with the evaluator.
This has an unfortunate effect on the reflection002 test, in that the
"typed template Idris" example now evaluates too much. But, I think the
overall performance is too important for the primary motivation
behind elaborator reflection. I will return to this!
Instead of just the cursory name update that we used to do (which didn't
work properly anyway for a lot of reasons), now we add aliases for all
the names in the imported module.
So, like Idris 1, every global has a canonical name by which we can
refer to it, but it can also have aliases via "import ... as".
If we have a delayed thing, but we don't yet know the expected type,
don't commit to forcing because the expected type might turn out to be a
delay.
Fixes#395
'convert' doesn't solve holes, so might reject things that are solvable.
This can be an issue when resolving interfaces, because we were using
convert for arguments of the invertible holes that arise when trying to
resolve them. Fixes#66.
We need to make sure they are inferred again when elaborating methods,
so substitute in a _ in method types before substituting in the explicit
parameters.
In future, it might (probably will) also be useful to allow giving the
implicit parameters explicitly when defining implementations.
Fixes#374
We need to check below top level too, since there could be holes that
we're happy to resolve by searching. The linearity test added
illustrates a place where this is needed.
The namespace parser was not requiring a minimum indentation and instead
based its indentation on the following line, which meant that a line like:
namespace Foo
foodef : Int
placed foodef into namespace Foo instead of the module's top level.
And so made it unclear when a namespace ends.
Without --no-index, git compares the files with their state in HEAD.
But we want to compare them to each other! This explain why we were
getting no output whatsoever.
With --word-diff=color, we can easily spot the small changes anywhere in
a line.
When runing in interactive mode, the diff between expected and output is not being show,
Supposedly, Git-diff returns 0 on successful run and a non-zero for error.
However, this is not being picked up by the test suite.
We change git-diff's error reporting to be more diff like in which:
+ +ve indicates that there is a diff.
+ 0 indicates the files are the same.
+ -ve program error.
This should make diff reporting more robust.
This involves new primitives GCPtr and GCAnyPtr which are pointer types
that have finalisers attached. The finalisers are run when the
associated pointer goes out of scope.
In the test, I am assuming that the GC will only be called once, right
at the end. Otherwise, the output isn't guaranteed to be deterministic!
Let's see how this assumption holds...
This is currently Chez only. I think it'll be easy enough to add to
the Racket and Gambit back ends too.
Fixes#116. This is the solution Idris 1 took, and while it is a special
case, the syntax does make it explicit (in a way) that the result of the
case is unused - if you mean something other than (), you must now say
so!
Another one from the "stop trying to be clever" files :). Instead of a
continuation for fallthrough in the evaluator, be explicit about whether
there's a result, no match, or evaluation is stuck.
Fixes#70
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.
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 ~().
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.
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'.
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)
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 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.
The hack (optimisation?) to normalise integer literals when below some
threshold is fine on the RHS, but on the LHS causes problems since we
need them in normal form for pattern matching. Fixes#112
This improves coverage checking, because it can now see that things like
(Z = S x) and (x = S x) are empty. Previously, it only checked that all
possible constructors had a disjoint index. Now, it looks for matches
and checks for disjointness in the matches, which catches a lot more
things especially with equality.
As in Idris 1 - if an interface declares a method as total or covering,
then all implementations have to satisfy that.
Temporarily turn off %default directive again, at least until totality
checking works as it should (this is probably better than removing it
from various places because I'll forget to put them back)
This means temporarily removing some '%default total' from the libraries
and tests, since the input for codata checking isn't right yet (it needs
appropriate use of inlining)
Should have done this ages ago, it was much easier than I expected...
this adds an explicit error clause before running the pattern match
compiler for runtime case trees, but only if the coverage checker finds
there are missing cases.
