Xslt may never be able to do full self-hosted tests. Powershell succeeds
but doubles the total runtime for the GHA workflow.
We would definitely like jq, nasm, and possibly vbs to be fixed for
self-hosted tests.
Ticket tracking fixes: https://github.com/kanaka/mal/issues/662
See issue #587.
* Merge eval-ast and eval into a single conditional.
* Expand macros during the apply phase, removing lots of duplicate
tests, and increasing the overall consistency by allowing the macro
to be computed instead of referenced by name (`((defmacro! cond
(...)))` is currently illegal for example).
* Print "EVAL: $ast" at the top of EVAL if DEBUG-EVAL exists in the
MAL environment.
* Remove macroexpand and quasiquoteexpand special forms.
* Use pattern-matching style in process/step*.txt.
Unresolved issues:
c.2: unable to reproduce with gcc 11.12.0.
elm: the directory is unchanged.
groovy: sometimes fail, but not on each rebuild.
nasm: fails some new soft tests, but the issue is unreproducible when
running the interpreter manually.
objpascal: unreproducible with fpc 3.2.2.
ocaml: unreproducible with 4.11.1.
perl6: unreproducible with rakudo 2021.09.
Unrelated changes:
Reduce diff betweens steps.
Prevent defmacro! from mutating functions: c forth logo miniMAL vb.
dart: fix recent errors and warnings
ocaml: remove metadata from symbols.
Improve the logo implementation.
Encapsulate all representation in types.lg and env.lg, unwrap numbers.
Replace some manual iterations with logo control structures.
Reduce the diff between steps.
Use native iteration in env_get and env_map
Rewrite the reader with less temporary strings.
Reduce the number of temporary lists (for example, reverse iteration
with butlast requires O(n^2) allocations).
It seems possible to remove a few exceptions: GC settings
(Dockerfile), NO_SELF_HOSTING (IMPLS.yml) and step5_EXCLUDES
(Makefile.impls) .
- Dynamically generate a strategy matrix based on the list of changed
files in this push/pull_request. If the changed files are restricted
to implementations then only generate a matrix with those
implementations. If the changes are to tests or other
non-documentation files (runtest.py, IMPLS.yml, .github/*, etc) then
run the full set. The matrix generation is done in get-ci-matrix.py.
- Split the implementation list for Github Actions out into a separate
yaml file IMPLS.yml
- Reduce the travis file to just the OS X / XCode related builds that
aren't supported on Github Actions.
- Rename the .travis_test.sh script to ci.sh since it is the general
CI script used for both Travis CI and Github Actions.
