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 also involves adding a flag to constructors and case alternatives
in CExp which say whether it's a NIL or CONS. Currently, we only do this
for Prelude.List, which already has an effect, but soon I'll extend this
to work for all list-shaped things and rather than being hard coded. We
could also imagine spotting other shapes (enumerations especially) for
code generators to spot as they see fit.
This will require code generators to be fixed to recognise the new
ConInfo flag, but you can just ignore it.
Bootstrap code also updated, because we don't currently have a way of
having separate support.ss/rkt for the bootstrap and normal builds!
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
Don't just have a placeholder. While this doesn't have a huge effect (if
any) on performance, it does generate smaller output for Chez to
process, and is tidier. Perhaps it's good for other back ends too, ones
that don't optimise as much as Chez does.
Only doing named functions, not higher order functions. HOFs may be
worth doing too, if we can, since this could remove lambdas and make
fewer closures.
The increment in TTC Version is necessary because otherwise there could
be inconsistencies between libraries and clients erasure properties.
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).
If all branches in a case block are a lambda, lift the lambda out. In
many cases, this can save creating a closure then evaluating it
immediately, because the function is already applied to the extra
argument.
This happens in particular with IO based code, where the extra argument
is the world token. One place where this transformation has a big effect
is 'evalRef' so the evaluator is now a bit faster (about 20% on the
small benchmark I tried it on - but no guarantees that's going to happen
on other examples!)
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.
This change adds logic to set up sockaddr correctly for connect and
bind, handles the AF_UNIX case for getSockAddr and expands the existing
test to cover unix sockets.
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.
