Unfortunately there appears to be exactly one place you can do this, and it
turns out to be inside inferTypes (because you need to know the type of c
completely, and you can't type-infer x until you know if it's a tag or a
variable). It's definitely nicer than doing it in the parser, though.
I've also started adding "-- AMBIGUITY" comments in the parser.
This works at least for simple examples, although it's probably a bit
restrictive on the array indexes you're allowed; it should attempt to
constant-fold them.
This was an "obvious" bug (a missing pattern) being masked by me doing a
pattern match inside an array constructor -- if the pattern doesn't match then
it'll skip that value, rather than causing an error like it does in a case.
This is the code that expands array and record assignments out into multiple
assignments. Having it done as a pass means it can do a better job -- this
fixes some problems with cgtest56 where the old version of the code couldn't
handle record assignments from literals.
This is the first pass that's had to add a replicator to the tree, so this also
introduces a helper function for generating new replicator counters.
This fixes a bug that cgtest56 exposed, where an array of a user-defined type
that was itself an array wound up being an array of arrays rather than a single
array.
As part of this, makeArrayType is now called addDimensions, and takes a list of
dimensions to add rather than just one.
The occam parser is now a GenParser Token OccState, rather than a GenParser
Char OccState, and a lot of now-redundant code has been removed. The parser is
also somewhat faster, which wasn't intended but is nice anyway.
I've also modified the Rain parser to not rely on the old preprocessing code;
it wasn't appropriate for Rain's syntax anyway, so I assume Neil will be
replacing it eventually.
This is because the structure pass needs to be able to tell where new lines
start, and if the line number changes in the middle of a token then it'll get
confused.
