* 2955 - back to more refcount housekeepingKartik K. Agaram2016-05-121-1/+1
| | | | | Update refcounts of address elements when copying containers. Still lots to do; see todo list at end of 036refcount.cc.
* 2898 - start filling in missing refcountsKartik K. Agaram2016-05-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | This commit covers instructions 'put', 'put-index' and 'maybe-convert'. Next up are the harder ones: 'copy' and 'merge'. In these cases there's a non-scalar being copied, and we need to figure out which locations within it need to update their refcount.
* 2891 - precompute container sizes and offsetsKartik K. Agaram2016-05-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | It's a bit of a trade-off because we need to store copies of container metadata in each reagent (to support shape-shifting containers), and metadata is not lightweight and will get heavier. But it'll become more unambiguously useful when we switch to a compiler.
* 2864 - replace all address:shared with just addressKartik K. Agaram2016-04-241-2/+1
| | | | | | | Now that we no longer have non-shared addresses, we can just always track refcounts for all addresses. Phew!
* 2861 - 'maybe-convert' no longer returns addressKartik K. Agaram2016-04-231-2/+4
|
* 2859 - rename 'get-address' to 'get-location'Kartik K. Agaram2016-04-231-2/+3
| | | | | | This reinfoces that it's only really intended to be used by 'wait-for-location'. To reinforce that we also move it to the same layer as 'wait-for-location'.
* 2831 - bugfix in static arraysKartik K. Agaram2016-04-131-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | I'd started using size_of() in transforms at some point, but not gotten around to actually updating it to support arrays before run-time. Wish there was a way I could statically enforce that something is only called at transform time vs runtime. Thanks Ella and Caleb Couch for finding this issue. Static arrays are likely still half-baked, but should get a thorough working-over in coming weeks.
* 2830 - bring back deleted test from 2829Kartik K. Agaram2016-04-101-6/+7
| | | | Issue 1 in 2829 is now fixed.
* 2829 - issues while switching to 'put'Kartik K. Agaram2016-04-101-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. It turns out we couldn't overload 'get' and 'get-address' until now, because transform_names looks for those names, and the resolve_ambiguous_calls transform happens before transform_names. Why does resolve_ambiguous_calls happen before transform_names? Because if my students made mistakes in the ingredients to an instruction they got overzealous errors from resolve_ambiguous_calls. Now this impacts 'put' as well, which is already overloaded for tables. Not sure what to do about this; I'm going to go back to the overzealous errors, and just teach students to visually scan past them for now. 2. I need addresses in a third place besides storing to containers and arrays, and managing the heap -- to synchronize routines. wait-for-location requires an address. Not sure what to do about this..
* 2804 - support stashing arraysKartik K. Agaram2016-03-211-4/+7
| | | | | Now to extend 'stash' for arrays, just extend array-to-text-line instead and perform the lookup inside it.
* 2803Kartik K. Agaram2016-03-211-3/+3
| | | | | Show more thorough information about instructions in the trace, but keep the original form in error messages.
* 2799 - new approach to undoing changes in testsKartik K. Agaram2016-03-201-4/+9
| | | | | | | | As outlined at the end of 2797. This worked out surprisingly well. Now the snapshotting code touches fewer layers, and it's much better behaved, with less need for special-case logic, particularly inside run_interactive(). 30% slower, but should hopefully not cause any more bugs.
* 2773 - switch to 'int'Kartik K. Agaram2016-03-131-12/+12
| | | | This should eradicate the issue of 2771.
* 2735 - define recipes using 'def'Kartik K. Agaram2016-03-081-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | I'm dropping all mention of 'recipe' terminology from the Readme. That way I hope to avoid further bike-shedding discussions while I very slowly decide on the right terminology with my students. I could be smarter in my error messages and use 'recipe' when code uses it and 'function' otherwise. But what about other words like ingredient? It would all add complexity that I'm not yet sure is worthwhile. But I do want separate experiences for veteran programmers reading about Mu on github and for people learning programming using Mu.
* 2718 - stop crashing on unknown spaceKartik K. Agaram2016-02-261-2/+16
| | | | | I'm going to stop wasting precious first-line characters on 'bugfix:'. It's going to be all bugfixes for a while I think.

* 2709Kartik K. Agaram2016-02-251-2/+0
| | | | | Only Hide_errors when strictly necessary. In other places let test failures directly show the unexpected error.
* 2685Kartik K. Agaram2016-02-191-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stack of plans for cleaning up replace_type_ingredients() and a couple of other things, from main problem to subproblems: include type names in the type_tree rather than in the separate properties vector make type_tree and string_tree real cons cells, with separate leaf nodes redo the vocabulary for dumping various objects: do we really need to_string and debug_string? can we have a version with *all* information? can we have to_string not call debug_string? This commit nibbles at the edges of the final task, switching from member method syntax to global function like almost everything else. I'm mostly using methods just for STL in this project.
* 2667 - redo container data structureKartik K. Agaram2016-02-171-3/+2
| | | | I've been gradually Greenspunning reagents. Just go all the way.

* 2576 - distinguish allocated addresses from othersKartik K. Agaram2016-01-191-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the one major refinement on the C programming model I'm planning to introduce in mu. Instead of Rust's menagerie of pointer types and static checking, I want to introduce just one new type, and use it to perform ref-counting at runtime. So far all we're doing is updating new's interface. The actual ref-counting implementation is next. One implication: I might sometimes need duplicate implementations for a recipe with allocated vs vanilla addresses of the same type. So far it seems I can get away with just always passing in allocated addresses; the situations when you want to pass an unallocated address to a recipe should be few and far between.
* 2562Kartik K. Agaram2016-01-171-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | We want to use the type 'recipe' for recipe *variables*, because it seems nicer to say `recipe number -> number` rather than recipe-ordinal, etc. To support this we'll allow recipe names to be mentioned without any type. This might make a couple of places in this commit more brittle. I'm dropping error messages, causing them to not happen in some situations. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and require an explicit :recipe-literal. We'll see.

* 2494Kartik K. Agaram2015-11-281-1/+1
| | | | | Some more structure to transforms, and flattening of dependencies between them.
* 2473 - bad idea to use /raw with multiple intentionsKartik K. Agaram2015-11-221-2/+2
| | | | | /raw is to express absolute addresses /unsafe is to sidestep type-checking in test setup

* 2401Kartik K. Agaram2015-11-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I tried to not populate the type at an early stage, and to pull out the type computations for all reagents into a separate transform grouped with but before the other type deduction transforms. But it seemed less readable to not mention types at all in layer 10. So we'll stick with our current approach, but try to be disciplined about grouping all the type transforms together, so that we can reason about whether a pass belongs before or after type deduction. (Doesn't seem rigorous enough for the name 'type inference'.) In particular, static dispatch and specialization of generics (resolve_ambiguous_calls) needs to happen after all type inference has completed, so that the only missing types are the generic type ingredients. In general I've been living in constant fear of the phase-ordering problem. No matter how many tests I write, I can't be sure that there isn't some corner case where my phases will be proven to be in a sub-optimal ordering. When I build the mu compiler in mu I'll want to also use the ability to perform static analyses in mu programs using mu userland capabilities. That would allow me to be sure that no phase writes to some field of reagent after some other purely checking phase reads it. Then all you have to do is be disciplined about not doing checking in mutating phases (which we currently aren't; hello check_or_set_invalid_types). Hmm, but I think this line of thought gives me some confidence now that I'm ok so far. The only field of reagents being modified after parsing/initialization is the type. So all I care about is whether each transform happens before or after all types are available. If I later start writing other fields or properties then I'll need to perform similar analysis for them, and it might get complicated enough to need a state diagram where partially filled out properties inhabit separate states from completely inferred properties.
* 2383 - new concern: idempotence of transformsKartik K. Agaram2015-11-061-1/+1
| | | | | I'd not paid any attention to it so far, but I need to do so from now on.
* 2382Kartik K. Agaram2015-11-061-0/+1
| | | | Starting to leave commented out prints again out of desperation.
* 2379 - further improvements to map operationsKartik K. Agaram2015-11-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | Commands run: $ sed -i 's/\([^. (]*\)\.find(\([^)]*\)) != [^.]*\.end()/contains_key(\1, \2)/g' 0[^0]*cc $ sed -i 's/\([^. (]*\)\.find(\([^)]*\)) == [^.]*\.end()/!contains_key(\1, \2)/g' 0[^0]*cc
* 2377 - stop using operator[] in mapKartik K. Agaram2015-11-061-21/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I'm still seeing all sorts of failures in turning on layer 11 of edit/, so I'm backing away and nailing down every culprit I run into. First up: stop accidentally inserting empty objects into maps during lookups. Commands run: $ sed -i 's/\(Recipe_ordinal\|Recipe\|Type_ordinal\|Type\|Memory\)\[\([^]]*\)\] = \(.*\);/put(\1, \2, \3);/' 0[1-9]* $ vi 075scenario_console.cc # manually fix up Memory[Memory[CONSOLE]] $ sed -i 's/\(Memory\)\[\([^]]*\)\]/get_or_insert(\1, \2)/' 0[1-9]* $ sed -i 's/\(Recipe_ordinal\|Type_ordinal\)\[\([^]]*\)\]/get(\1, \2)/' 0[1-9]* $ sed -i 's/\(Recipe\|Type\)\[\([^]]*\)\]/get(\1, \2)/' 0[1-9]* Now mu dies pretty quickly because of all the places I try to lookup a missing value.
* 2358 - starting to tackle the phase ordering problemKartik K. Agaram2015-11-041-2/+2
| | | | | | | A new externality is starting to make its presence felt. Until I sort this out it's going to be hard to finish making duplex-list generic.
* 2321 - more preparations for static dispatchKartik K. Agaram2015-10-291-4/+3
| | | | | Deduce operation id from name during transform rather than load, so that earlier transforms have a chance to modify the name.

| | | | Thanks Caleb Couch.
* 2258 - separate warnings from errorsKartik K. Agaram2015-10-061-27/+28
| | | | | | | At the lowest level I'm reluctantly starting to see the need for errors that stop the program in its tracks. Only way to avoid memory corruption and security issues. But beyond that core I still want to be as lenient as possible at higher levels of abstraction.
* 2226 - standardize warning formatKartik K. Agaram2015-10-011-22/+22
| | | | | | | | Always show recipe name where error occurred. But don't show internal 'interactive' name for sandboxes, that's just confusing. What started out as warnings are now ossifying into errors that halt all execution. Is this how things went with C and Unix as well?
* 2218 - check types in instructions much earlierKartik K. Agaram2015-09-301-10/+3
| | | | | | | | | Front-loads it a bit more than I'd like, but the payoff is that other recipes will now be able to describe the type checks right next to their operation. I'm also introducing a new use of /raw with literals to indicate unsafe typecasts.
* 2199 - stop printing numbers in scientific notationKartik K. Agaram2015-09-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Turns out the default format for printing floating point numbers is neither 'scientific' nor 'fixed' even though those are the only two options offered. Reading the C++ standard I found out that the default (modulo locale changes) is basically the same as the printf "%g" format. And "%g" is basically the shorter of: a) %f with trailing zeros trimmed b) %e So we'll just do %f and trim trailing zeros.
* 2095Kartik K. Agaram2015-08-281-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Finally terminate the experiment of keeping debug prints around. I'm also going to give up on maintaining counts. What we really need is two kinds of tracing: a) For tests, just the domain-specific facts, organized by labels. b) For debugging, just transient dumps to stdout. b) only works if stdout is clean by default. Hmm, I think this means 'stash' should be the transient kind of trace.

* 1921 - show trace by clicking on codeKartik K. Agaram2015-08-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | Region to click on to edit is now reduced to just the menu bar for the sandbox (excluding the 'x' for deleting the sandbox). The symmetry there might be useful, but we'll see if the relative click area is in line with how commonly the actions are performed.
