For some reason, the usage check tests are now very slow to run (perhaps because of all the operator definitions added to each one?), which needs further investigation.
This may seem like an odd change, but it simplifies the logic a lot. I kept having problems with passes not operating on externals (e.g. functions-to-procs, adding array sizes, constant folding in array dimensions) and adding a special case every time to also process the externals was getting silly.
Putting the externals in the AST therefore made sense, but I didn't want to just add dummy bodies as this would cause them to throw up errors (e.g. in the type-checking for functions). So I turned the bodies into a Maybe type, and that has worked out well.
I also stopped storing the formals in csExternals (since they are now in csNames, and the tree), which streamlined that nicely, and stopped me having to keep them up to date.
All the passes now have their information (name, pre-requisites and post- properties) stored at the point where the pass is declared, which means the pass lists are just a simple list of pass functions.
The main consequence of this change was that the tests had to be changed. Now, instead of taking a "pass applied to data" item (type: PassM b), they take both the pass (type: Pass) and source data (type: b), and apply them later. This was the decision that involved the simplest changes to the existing tests (simply unbracketing the application of the pass to the source). I also had to include a few old-style versions though (testPass', testPassShouldFail') for where the functions were being used to test things that weren't actually passes (mainly StructureOccam).
Fixes#48
NameType is only really needed in the parser, so this takes it out of
NameDef, meaning that later passes defining names no longer need to
set an arbitrary NameType for them. The parser gets slightly more
complicated (because some productions now have to return a SpecType
and a NameType too), but lots of other code gets simpler.
The code that removed free names was the only thing outside the parser
using NameType, and it now makes a more sensible decision based on the
SpecType. Since unscoped names previously didn't have a SpecType at
all, I've added an Unscoped constructor to it and arranged matters
such that unscoped names now get a proper entry in csNames.
Fixes#61.
It's redundant, since you can always compute them from the variable, and it
makes the code that deals with actuals rather cleaner.
On the other hand, it slightly complicates some of the tests, because any names
you use in an Actual need to be defined...
This patch is actually an amalgam of multiple (already large) patches. Those patches conflicted (parameterised Structured vs. changes to usage checking and FlowGraph) and encountered a nasty bug in darcs 1 involving exponential time (see http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsWiki/ConflictsFAQ for more details). Reasoning that half an hour (of 100% CPU use) was too long to apply patches, I opted to re-record the parameterised Structured changes as this new large patch. Here are the commit messages originally used for the patches (which, as mentioned, were already large patches):
A gigantic patch switching all the non-test modules over to using parameterised A.Structured
Changed the FlowGraph module again to handle any sort of Structured you want to pass to it (mainly for testing)
A further gigantic patch changing all the tests to work with the new parameterised Structured
Fixed a nasty bug involving functions being named incorrectly inside transformInputCase
Added a hand-written instance of Data for Structured that allows us to use ext1M properly
Fixed a few warnings in the code
ErrorReport is of type (Maybe Meta, String), thereby adding an optional code position to error messages.
Die has been changed so that die and dieP are now implemented in terms of dieReport (:: ErrorReport -> m a). This involved changing less code than changing die to be of type ErrorReport -> m a. All that had to be changed directly was that Die instances now implement dieReport instead of die.
Any bits of code that "caught" errors has been changed so that it handles ErrorReport instead of String. This ErrorReport is eventually, in Main, passed to dieIO, which will soon be changed to read the file in and provide the context. Accordingly, MonadIO m has been added as a constraint to dieIO, and dieInternal has been changed to no longer use dieIO (because really we can't add the MonadIO constraint to dieInternal).
Various error messages have been changed. Notably, all instances of fail in ParseOccam have been changed to use die or, wherever possible, dieP. A similar thing has been done in EvalConstants and EvalLiterals.
