Operating system counter stores signals as flag set without counter.
So sending two signals to a process may result to one or two signal
handler invocation. Queueing signals inside Idris could give users
false sense of signals being are queue, while they are not.
In particular, test for signal could not work reliably for that
reason.
Also, practically we usually don't need have more than once signal
event.
This is follow-up to #1660. CC @mattpolzin
To be able to use `C` functions for both Scheme and RefC: it was
not possible for `Buffer` before this PR.
As an example, `writeBufferData` and `readBufferData` functions are
removed: generic C backend implementations are used instead.
```
IDRIS2_VERIFY(cond, message_format, ...)
```
When condition is false, crash.
Used in native functions where correct error handling is hard or
not impossible.
For example, `malloc` rarely fails, but if it fails, better crash
with clear error message than spend time debugging null pointer
dereference.
* add `strerror` function
* move `getErrno` to `System.Errno`
* use `strerror` in `Show FileError`
* on node there's no access to `strerror`, so `strerror` just converts the number to string
Pragma once is supported by all compilers for the last ten years.
Better use it instead of include guards (which use different styles
in different files).
Support for simple signal handling was added in
a0a417240e. This commit also adds the
`_simple_handler` function. It seems to me that this function is
intended as a helper function which should only be visible in
`idris_signal.c`, it is not used outside this file. For this purpose it
is probably also marked as inline. However, the inline keyword does not
require the compiler to actually inline the function. As such, the
`_simple_handler` symbol may still be exported if the compiler doesn't
inline the function.
On my system this seems to be the case and causes the following error
during compilation of idris2:
Exception: (while loading libidris2_support.so) Error relocating Idris2-0.4.0/build/exec/idris2_app/libidris2_support.so: _simple_handler: symbol not found
By marking the `_simple_handler` function as `static inline` it is
ensured that the symbol is not exported, thereby preventing the
relocation error.
To be able to eventually refactor/extend `system` function: to be
able to specify a directory, environment variables, specify arguments
as array etc. Ideally it should be something like Rust
[`std::process::Command`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/process/struct.Command.html).
The cast to float needs to happen before the division, otherwise integer
division will be performed, and as a result `CLOCKS_PER_NSEC` will
always be 0 if `CLOCKS_PER_SEC` < `NSEC_PER_SEC`.
* Add utility functions to treat All as a heterogeneous container
* Distinguish RefC Int and Bits types
* Change RefC Integers to be arbitrary precision
* Add RefC Bits maths operations
* Make RefC div and mod Euclidean
* Add RefC bit-ops tests
* Add RefC integer comparison tests
* Add RefC IntN support
The external type must be a Value object for garbage collection reasons.
For completely custom types, use a GCPointer, with appropriate GC function for clearing up your data type.
- Fix off-by-one error in String reverse
- Correct order of arguments in strSubstr
- Actually use start index of strSubstr
- Reduce memory usage of strSubstr in case of overrunning string end
- Add fastPack/fastUnpack/fastConcat
- Use unsigned chars for character comparisons
- Fix generated C character encodings
- Remove commented out code
- Remove unused showEitherStringInt and toIntEitherStringInt functions
- Make cTypeOfCFType pure
- Merge identical case branches of createCFunctions
- Remove unused C support functions
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!
As a relict of the REPL output, several `<br>` tags where introduced,
where they are not needed or even permitted. This led to some spacing
issues (sometimes the docstring was closer to the next term than to the
one above that it actually described).
To counter the removed forced newlines, some extra margin is added below
each declaration.
As a side-effect, this also makes the W3 "Nu Html Checker" happy.
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
