Previously expected propositions were erased frequently
(at lets and ifs) and checking for logical entailment
was unidirectional instead of bidirectional. In other words,
instead of checking if propositions held at the leaves
of the AST, we would typecheck the AST and blindly propagate
up ALL logical info we learned at each step. This meant that
we would get exponential blow up of propositions even when
we didn't care about their content.
With this commit, instead now we send down expected types
*and* propositions so we can verify expected types and
propisitions are satisfied at leaves, thereby relieving the
need to constantly report up huge amounts of logical info
while typechecking.
Moving to eager propagating of bottom works for most cases,
but in some cases flattening types such as (Pairof Bottom Any)
to Bottom made things like type inference break for some cases
(since (Listof Nothing) == Null, and (Listof A) did not structurally
like up like it used to). Perhaps w/ a little more effort
inference and any other potential issues could work better
with propagating bottom, but for now we'll be slightly less
aggressive about it.
i.e. this fixes pfds, which commit 8e7f390 broke.
The previous fix relied on finding and manipulating all dead code.
But we missed some; in particular code of the form:
(begin (error 'x) ...dead...)
So switch to a different strategy that tolerates untraversed
dead code.
This is a major to some of the internal representation of things
within Typed Racket (mostly affecting structs that inherited from Rep
(see rep/rep-utils.rkt)), and lots of tweaks and bug fixes that
happened along the way.
This PR includes the following major changes:
A new rep-utils implementation, which uses struct properties for the
generic operations and properties of the various Reps (see
rep-utils.rkt)
More specific Rep inheritance (i.e. arr no longer inherits from Type,
because it is not a Type, etc ...) (see type-rep.rkt, core-rep.rkt,
values-rep.rkt), and thus things like Type/c no longer exist
New Rep's to classify the things that are no longer Type or Prop,
(such as PropSets, SomeValues, Results, etc -- see core-rep.rkt and
values-rep.rkt)
uses of type-case now replaced by uses of Rep-fold and Rep-walk
structural types can specify their fields' variance and operations
like subtyping and free-vars can generically operate over these types
(see type-rep.rkt)
type-mask replaces types key -- types masks are described in detail in
(rep/type-mask.rkt)
Types can specify a predicate to recognize their "top type" via [#:top
pred])
There is an explicit 'Bottom' type now (i.e. neither union or
intersection are used)
subtyping re-organized, slight tweaking to inference
various environments got for-each functions in addition to the map
functions they had (e.g. type-name-env.rkt)
Empty is no longer an Object? -- the OptObject? predicate checks for
either Object or Empty, and so it is easier to be clear about where
Empty makes sense appearing and where it does not
Previously signatures were created with promises in their fields, now
we create a promise around each signature (this way the contracts for
Signature fields are cleaner)
Names for structs now use the args field to describe how many type
arguments they take (Note: this could use further tidying for sure!)
simplified the propositional logic code in several places, got rid of
escape continuations, etc (see prop-ops.rkt, tc-envops.rkt,
tc-metafunctions.rkt)
we now use subsumption more to simplify type results from type
checking, e.g. if the type does not overlap w/ false, it's false
proposition is FalseProp, etc (see tc-expr-unit.rkt and prop-ops.rkt,
the function is called reduce-tc-results/subsumption)
updating along a path will now intersect with the expected structural
type if it is not encountered (e.g. updating Any with (Int @ car) now
produces (Pairof Int Any) instead of Any -- see update.rkt)
lots of tests were tweaked to match up w/ the new prop subsumption
that occurs
remove was renamed subtract (so as to not conflict w/ racket/base's
remove)
a restrict function was added, which acts like intersect but is never
additive (i.e. it will never create an intersection if it can't figure
out how the two types relate -- see intersect.rkt)
tc-subst was modified to substitute out all the variables leaving
scope at once (and I simplified/tweaked some of the logic in there a
little, see tc-subst.rkt)
Type checking function applications now propagates information learned
why type checking the arguments, (e.g. (begin (f (assert x boolean?))
...)) ; the remainder of the begin is aware that x is a boolean)
This fills the corresponding entries in the cast table with a Dead-Code
type so that when the contract-generation pass calls the contract-def
thunk, it finds that in the table.
* call compute-constraints instead of sc->constraints in get-max-contract-kind
* test cast on an intersection type involving Rec
* remove memory limit on sandboxed-unsafe-ops test
Adds intersection types as a better way to handle the the case
when restrict cannot structurally intersect two types (e.g. when
you learn within a polymorphic function a variable x of type A
is also an Integer, but we dont know how A relates to Integer).
This allows for non-lossy refinements of type info while typechecking.
This allows the types generated by the struct form, as well as #:struct
clauses of require/typed, to be specified explicitly using a #:type-name
option. This allows the name of a struct and the type it is assigned to
be different.
Closes#261
Guard opaque predicates with an (-> Any Any) contract. This uses the
contract generation infrastructure to avoid wrapping struct predicates.
Also, relax `any-wrap/c` (the contract used for `Any` in positive
position) to allow opaque structures. This also requires an enumeration
of all the other kinds of values that TR understands, so that they are
not confused with opaque structures.
Joint work with @bennn.
Closes#202.
Closes#203.
Closes#241.
See also commit 5cd5f77 “Don't allow promises created with `delay/name` as `(Promise T)`.”.
The contracts in `typed-racket-lib/typed-racket/static-contracts/combinators/structural.rkt` should be just a single identifier, not a lambda expression, because `typed-racket-lib/typed-racket/private/type-contract.rkt` relies on that, and passes the contract name to free-identifier=?, which won't work on a lambda.
* Add `normalise-inputs` to special function env.
* Treat eta-expansion specially. Now
`(lambda (x ...) (f x ...))`
will typecheck like `f` but with a type restricted to
the size of `x ...`.
Currently, this special case only works for non-polymorphic
functions.
New strategy for compiling the (-> Any Boolean) type to a contract.
When possible, uses `struct-predicate-procedure?` instead of
wrapping in `(-> any-wrap/c boolean?)`.
Makes exceptions for untyped chaperones/impersonators over struct predicates;
those are always wrapped with `(-> any-wrap/c boolean?)`.
This change also affects (require/typed ... [#:struct ...]), but not #:opaque
