This is a breaking change because existing imports in user Wren code
that assume the path is relative to the entrypoint file will now likely
fail.
Also, stack trace output and host API calls that take a module string
now need the resolved module string, not the short name that appears in
the import.
This is simpler and marginally faster. We don't need the overhead of
fibers since you can't have long or recursive import chains anyway.
More importantly, this makes the behavior more well-defined when you do
things like yield from an imported module. (Not that you should do that,
but if you do, it shouldn't do weird things.)
If the function the fiber is created from takes a parameter, the value
passed to the first call() or transfer() gets bound to that parameter.
Also, this now correctly handles fibers with functions that take
parameters. It used to leave the stack in a busted state. Now, it's a
runtime error to create a fiber with a function that takes any more
than one parameter.
These lazy iterator producing methods are useful when working with
arbitrary sequences and you need to skip or take some number of elements
at the start.
They were inadvertently relying on undefined behavior in C and we get
different results on some compilers.
Until we decide how we want the operation to behave, for now, just
leave it unspecified.
The current behavior is undefined in C when converting the double to a
u32, so the tests fail on some compilers. For now, I'm just removing
those parts of the tests because I'm not sure what I want the behavior
to be. Modulo? Truncate? Runtime error?
Build Wren for more targets, and run the test suite on both 32 and 64
bit builds.
* Update the build config to test both with and without NAN_TAGGING
defined.
* Updatest `util/test.py` to take the executable suffix as a
parameter. This allows the makefile to control which binaries will be
tested.
Adds a new target to the makefile to be run by travis, this runs the
test suite against all of the configurations it builds.
* Gcc on some 32 bit platforms was complaining about numeric overflows
when -INFINITY was used. Update the logic for converting a double to
a string to not explicitly check against the literal values.
* Make CI builds run the tests on both 64 _and_ 32 bit builds.
* If I limit the number of CPUs on my MBP I can get some of the tests
to time out, I'm imagining that the specs of the Travis Macs means
that the same is happening there too. Updated the test script to
allow an extra few seconds for the test to complete successfully
before killing it.
* Due to slight differences in accuracy in some computations tests were
failing on 32 bit builds. Stop comparing things quite as exactly in
the cases where it is causing issues.
For some reason 12.34 was refusing to compare equal to itself. Bad
show 12.34 :-/. I've also updated the test so it doesn't leak handles
even if the assertions fail.
* Double-cast from `double` to `uint32_t` to prevent undefined
behaviour on overflow of basic integers. This should hopefully
prevent 32 bit test failures on Linux.
* Move to a version of LibUV with a fix for the 32 bit build error on
Travis.
- Remove List.new(_). I was convinced by the issue discussion that
using it is probably a bad idea. We don't want to encourage more nulls
in the world than there are already are. So let's see if we can live
without it and just have List.filled(). That way users think about
what they're creating a list *of*.
- Added some more tests.
- Correctly handle being given a negative size.
Previously, you could get into a state where a key was present in the
map, but after a tombstone in the probe sequence. If they key was added
again, it stopped at the first tombstone and added it there, resulting
in the key being in the map multiple times.
Fix#373.
This is not implemented on Sequence because, at least for lists and
strings, I think users expect an eager result. Multiplying a string
should give you back a string, not a lazy sequence of repeated
characters.
This also mirrors "+" on strings and lists, which is eager. I like the
idea of having a general guideline that operators are eager.
Repetition is useful for arbitrary sequences, but for that maybe we
should add a "repeat()" method.
This allows "%(...)" inside a string literal to interpolate the
stringified result of an expression.
It doesn't support custom interpolators or format strings, but we can
consider extending that later.
Instead, Fn.call(...) is a special *method* type that has the same
special sauce. The goal is eventually to get rid of the primitive
result type entirely.
- 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).
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.
The .count getter on string returns the number of code points. That's
O(n), but it's consistent with the rest of the main string API.
If you want the number of bytes, it's "string".bytes.count.
Updated the docs.
Fixes 68. Woo!
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.
* 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.
If a test expected an error and found at least one, it would not fail
on any other expected errors that didn't occur.
Also, some tests were expecting a compile time error message even though
the test script doesn't validate those (yet).
The test function was getting monolithic, so I went ahead and split it
into a separate little class.
