7d631276cb Catch errors in the first try() 2017-03-30 21:57:29 -04:00
9fda7cb526 Unify Fiber.try() with the other methods to execute fibers. 2016-03-03 17:00:33 -08:00
b05a74da19 Revamp how runtime errors and fiber switching is handled.
- Add Fiber.transferError(_).
- Primitives place runtime errors directly in the fiber instead of on
  the stack.
- Primitives that change fibers set it directly in the VM.
- Allow a fiber's error to be any object (except null).

58e4d26648 "IO" -> "System".
Get rid of the separate opt-in IO class and replace it with a core
System class.

- Remove wren_io.c, wren_io.h, and io.wren.
- Remove the flags that disable it.
- Remove the overloads for print() with different arity. (It was an
  experiment, but I don't think it's that useful.)
- Remove IO.read(). That will reappear using libuv in the CLI at some
  point.
- Remove IO.time. Doesn't seem to have been used.
- Update all of the tests, docs, etc.

I'm sorry for all the breakage this causes, but I think "System" is a
better name for this class (it makes it natural to add things like
"System.gc()") and frees up "IO" for referring to the CLI's IO module.

556af50f83 Revise low level fiber semantics to play nicer with schedulers.
Now that I'm starting to write a real async scheduler on top of Wren's
basic fiber API, I have a better feel for what it needs. It turns out
run() is not it.

- Remove run() methods.
- Add transfer() which leaves the caller of the invoked fiber alone.
- Add suspend() to return control to the host application.
- Add Timer.schedule() to start a new independently scheduled fiber.
- Change Timer.sleep() so that it only transfers control to explicitly
  scheduled fibers, not any one.

5fb6186d7d Make constructors just methods.
* Eliminate "new" reserved word.
* Allow "this" before a method definition to define a constructor.
* Only create a default constructor for classes that don't define one.

64eccdd9be Reorganize tests and benchmark scripts.
Mainly to get rid of one top level directory. But this will
also be useful when there are tests of the embedding API.
