* 3902 - drop redundant redraw of recipe side on F4Kartik K. Agaram2017-06-091-0/+1
| | | | | | This change is interesting because I only updated one test to gain confidence that F4 will never redraw the recipe side. (Most of the changes are to explicitly render-all before each scenario.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Yet another bugfix, this time in just the sandbox/ app: open sandbox/ with empty lesson/ directory type 'a' press backspace cursor was not moving left Now fixed. Turns out the sandbox/ app hadn't been working right since commit 3854. (Which ironically was a revert but clearly didn't revert enough; the last truly good commit was 3823, and we're still clawing our way back to the sunlight.) The issue in this case was that commit 3853 disabled update-cursor in some situations when it shouldn't have. To be safe, just always update-cursor one very event. I should probably reorganize this in edit/ as well, but it's not necessary for this particular bug. --- Incidentally, as part of my git bisecting I realized that the bug fixed in the trace browser as part of commit 3862 was very old: press '/' press some key press ctrl-u to erase press some key = out of bounds string access

* 3861 - screen untouched when entering console modeKartik K. Agaram2017-05-181-0/+1

* 3860 - stop buffering the screen in termboxKartik K. Agaram2017-05-181-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To achieve this we have to switch to a model of the screen in termbox that is closer to the underlying terminal. Before: a screen is a grid of characters writing out of bounds does nothing After: a screen is a scrolling raster of characters writing out of bounds wraps to next line and scrolls if necessary To move to the new model, it was essential that I migrate my fake screen at the same time to mimic it. This is why the first attempt (commit 3824) failed (commit 3858). This is also why this commit can't be split into smaller pieces. The fake screen now 'scrolls' by rotating screen lines from top to bottom. There's still no notion of a scrollback buffer. The newer model is richer; it permits repl-like apps that upstream termbox can't do easily. It also permits us to simply use `printf` or `cout` to write to the screen, and everything mostly works as you would expect. Exceptions: a) '\n' won't do what you expect. You need to explicitly print both '\n' and '\r'. b) backspace won't do what you expect. It only moves the cursor back, without erasing the previous character. It does not wrap. Both behaviors exactly mimic my existing terminal's emulation of vt100. The catch: it's easy to accidentally scroll in apps. Out-of-bounds prints didn't matter before, but they're bugs now. To help track them down, use the `save-top-idx`, `assert-no-scroll` pair of helpers. An important trick is to wrap the cursor before rather after printing a character. Otherwise we end up scrolling every time we print to the bottom-right character. This means that the cursor position can be invalid at the start of a print, and we need to handle that. In the process we also lose the ability to hide and show the screen. We have to show the prints happening. Seems apt for a "white-box" platform like Mu.

| | | | | Bugfix on commit 3853: clear `render-all-on-no-more-events` once you've actually run the `render-all`.
* 3854Kartik K. Agaram2017-05-131-7/+19
| | | | Revert commits 3824, 3850 and 3852. We'll redo them more carefully.
* 3853Kartik K. Agaram2017-05-121-2/+13
| | | | | | Bring back commit 3844, albeit in simplified form. I'd forgotten that the one place where we still need to buffer rendering is when people hold down up/down arrow keys.
* 3852Kartik K. Agaram2017-05-121-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Bugfix of commit 3850 for the sandbox/ app. I'd hoped to just quickly move past this ugly approach, but a cleaner way is more involved than I thought. This way is ugly partly because I'm introducing a bunch of conditionals without testing them. One or more of my additions may well be hiding bugs. Or I may need to add them in a few other places. The clean way is to update the fake screen model to accurately mimic the new real screen, where out of bounds prints aren't silently ignored, and where scrolling is a fact of life.

| | | | | Once I start optimizing most events to not repaint everything there's no need to be smart about queued-up events.

* 3824 - experiment: stop buffering in termboxKartik K. Agaram2017-04-161-17/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now it's much more apparent why things are slow. You can see each repaint happening. Already I fixed one performance bug -- in clear-rest-of-screen. Since this subverts Mu's fake screen there may be bugs. Another salubrious side effect: I've finally internalized that switching to raw mode doesn't have to clear the screen. That was just an artifact of how termbox abstracted operations. Now I can conceive of using termbox to build a repl as well. (I was inspired to poke into termbox internals by http://viewsourcecode.org/snaptoken/kilo and https://github.com/antirez/linenoise)

* 3700Kartik K. Agaram2016-11-281-1/+1
| | | | | | Reorder products of some functions in the edit/ and sandbox/ apps. My recent realization: always return 'real' products before ones that just indicate an ingredient is mutable.
* 3699Kartik K. Agaram2016-11-281-2/+2
| | | | | Delete some obsolete /same-as-ingredient attributes. We should always let Mu deduce those at this point.
* 3698Kartik K. Agaram2016-11-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Update sandbox/ with recent changes to edit/ (commit 3695 onwards). [Incidentally, this is the first commit to be made while running on OpenBSD. Simulated and host systems are going to blur together from now on.]
* 3565Kartik K. Agaram2016-10-231-1/+1
| | | | | | Cleaning up the console interfaces before we start changing the socket interfaces to look like them. Reading from sockets need to be non-blocking just like reading from the console.
* 3552Kartik K. Agaram2016-10-221-11/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stop requiring jump instructions to explicitly provide a ':label' type for jump targets. This has been a source of repeated confusion for my students: a) They'd add the ':label' to the label definition rather than the jump target (label use) b) They'd spend time thinking about whether the initial '+' prefix was part of the label name. In the process I cleaned up a couple of things: - the space of names is more cleanly partitioned into labels and non-labels (clarifying that '_' and '-' are non-label prefixes) - you can't use label names as regular variables anymore - you can infer the type of a label just from its name
* 3490Kartik K. Agaram2016-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Redo commit 3457. Basically there were 3 unicode characters we changed back then: solid horizontal line: 9473 -> 9472 fuzzy horizontal line: 9480 -> 9548 fuzzy vertical line: 9482 -> 9550 The solid horizontal line has no issues, so we just redo it here. For the other two, we'll perform the substitution only when rendering html. That gives us the best of both worlds: the scenario screens render right in html, and alt-tabbing continues to be snappy when running the edit/ app.
* 3489Kartik K. Agaram2016-10-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Revert commit 3457, where I switched the unicode characters used in the edit/ app to something that doesn't render double-wide in html. It turns out that the new unicode characters made iTerm2 sluggish in alt-tabbing between windows. (Commit 3488 only fixed the screen-clearing issue.) I haven't reverted the html files. I'm going to redo commit 3457 next so the html files continue to render like they do now.
* 3457Kartik K. Agaram2016-10-061-1/+1
| | | | | Switch around some unicode characters in the edit/ app so that it renders more cleanly in html (with monospace fonts).

* 3391 - type abbreviations everywhereKartik K. Agaram2016-09-171-75/+75
| | | | | | | | | Well, almost. I can't use them in some places in C++ where I'm just creating a temporary reagent without passing it through transforms. Like in some unit tests. I can't use them in memory-should-contain. And there's one remaining bug: I can't use abbreviations in a couple of places in 075channel.mu.
* 3347Kartik K. Agaram2016-09-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | Done using 'text' type abbreviation everywhere. There's still a problem. If we define a function with a type abbreviation and then redefine it without, I think we end up creating separate variants. That seems wrong. Let's isolate a scenario for that next.
* 3337 - first use of type abbreviations: textKartik K. Agaram2016-09-121-1/+1
| | | | | In the process I've uncover a couple of situations we don't support type abbreviations yet. They're next.

| | | | | | | Now that we no longer have non-shared addresses, we can just always track refcounts for all addresses. Phew!

* 2735 - define recipes using 'def'Kartik K. Agaram2016-03-081-12/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* 2576 - distinguish allocated addresses from othersKartik K. Agaram2016-01-191-24/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* 2548 - teach 'print' to print integersKartik K. Agaram2015-12-281-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | Still can't print non-integer numbers, so this is a bit hacky. The big consequence is that you can't print literal characters anymore because of our rules about how we pick which variant to statically dispatch to. You have to save to a character variable first. Maybe I can add an annotation to literals..
