* 4266 - space for alloc-id in heap allocationsKartik Agaram2018-06-241-2/+2

* 4257 - abortive attempt at safe fat pointersKartik Agaram2018-06-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've been working on this slowly over several weeks, but it's too hard to support 0 as the null value for addresses. I constantly have to add exceptions for scalar value corresponding to an address type (now occupying 2 locations). The final straw is the test for 'reload': x:num <- reload text 'reload' returns an address. But there's no way to know that for arbitrary instructions. New plan: let's put this off for a bit and first create support for literals. Then use 'null' instead of '0' for addresses everywhere. Then it'll be easy to just change what 'null' means.

| | | | | | Clean up primitive for reading from file. Never return EOF character. Stop using null character to indicate EOF as well. Instead, always use a second product to indicate EOF, and require calls to use it.

| | | | | | | | More checks for unsafe filesystem primitives. Most important, make sure the product of any $close-file instruction is never ignored, and that it's the same variable as the ingredient. (No way to indicate that in Mu code yet, but then Mu code should always be safe and not require such checks.)

* 3225 - testable interface for writing filesKartik K. Agaram2016-08-181-2/+2
| | | | | | | | For example usage of file operations, see filesystem.mu. Is it ugly that we don't actually write to disk unless we wait for the writing routine to exit? Maybe there's a nice way to wrap it. At any rate, all buffering is explicit, which seems a win compared to *nix.

* 3183 - cleanupKartik K. Agaram2016-08-131-33/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - New plan Primitives: $open-file-for-reading $open-file-for-writing $read-from-file $write-to-file $close-file The '$' prefix indicates that none of these are intended to be used directly since they rely on type-system-busting numbers. Also that they are just temporary hacks depending on primitives provided by the host system. A putative 'Mu machine' would have very different primitives. Testable interfaces: - start-reading: starts a routine to read from a file and returns the source where the contents will become available. - start-writing: starts a routine to write to a file and returns the sink where the contents can be provided. Both operate on the real file-system if the first 'filesystem' ingredient is 0. Once you start them up you can read/write/close the channel as usual.
* 3182 - primitives for manipulating the file systemKartik K. Agaram2016-08-131-9/+160
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | I don't know why this took so long to gel. I just needed to copy my approach to screen management: 1. primitives layer (C++): simple, non-testable, non-safe operations. 2. wrappers layer (Mu): wrap operations with dependency-injected versions that can take a fake file system. 3. scenario layer (C++): implement assume-filesystem that constructs a fake file system. 4. scenario test layer (Mu): test out assume-filesystem in a test. This commit implements step 1.
