This is very very rough at the moment. But it does a couple of thing:
1. The 'ArgVia' now contains an Expr/TypedExpr which should unify to a Fuzzer. This is to avoid having to introduce custom logic to handle fuzzer referencing. So this now accepts function call, field access etc.. so long as they unify to the right thing.
2. I've done quite a lot of cleanup in aiken-project mostly around the tests and the naming surrounding them. What we used to call 'Script' is now called 'Test' and is an enum between UnitTest (ex-Script) and PropertyTest. I've moved some boilerplate and relevant function under those module Impl.
3. I've completed the end-to-end pipeline of:
- Compiling the property test
- Compiling the fuzzer
- Generating an initial seed
- Running property tests sequentially, threading the seed through each step.
An interesting finding is that, I had to wrap the prop test in a similar wrapper that we use for validator, to ensure we convert primitive types wrapped in Data back to UPLC terms. This is necessary because the fuzzer return a ProtoPair (and soon an Array) which holds 'Data'.
At the moment, we do nothing with the size, though the size should ideally grow after each iteration (up to a certain cap).
In addition, there are a couple of todo/fixme that I left in the code as reminders of what's left to do beyond the obvious (error and success reporting, testing, etc..)
The parameter is special as it takes no annotation but a 'via' keyword followed by an expression that should unify to a Fuzzer<a>, where Fuzzer<a> = fn(Seed) -> (Seed, a). The current commit only allow name identifiers for now. Ultimately, this may allow full expressions.
Note that the formatter rewrite parens-block sequences as curly-block
sequences anyway. Albeit weird looking syntax, they are valid
nonetheless.
I also clarified a bit the hints and description of the
'illegal::return' error as it would mistakenly say 'function' instead
of 'block'.
- do not erase sequences if the sole expression is an assignment
- emit parse error if an assignment is assigned to an assignment
- do not allow assignments in logical op chains
- Add support to the formatter for these doc comments
- Add a new field to `Arg` `doc: Option<String>`
- Don't attach docs immediately after typechecking a module
- instead we should do it on demand in docs, build, and lsp
- the check command doesn't need to have any docs attached
- doing it more lazily defers the computation until later making
typechecking feedback a bit faster
- Add support for function arg and validator param docs in
`attach_module_docs` methods
- Update some snapshots
- Add put_doc to Arg

Bumped into this randomly. We do correctly parse escape sequence, but
the format would simply but the unescaped string back on save. Now it
properly re-escapes strings before flushing them back. I also removed
the escape sequence for 'backspace' and 'new page' form feed as I
don't see any use case for those in an Aiken program really...
This was trickier than expected as the expression parser, and in particular the bin-op parser will interpret negative patterns as a continuation of a binary operation and eventually choke on the next right-arrow symbol. This is due to how we actually completely erase newlines once we're done with the lexer. The newline separating when clause is actually semantically important. In principle, we could only parse an expression until the next newline.
Ideally, we would keep that newline in the list of token but it's difficult to figure out which newline to keep between two right arrows since a clause guard can be written over multiple lines. Though, since we know that this is only truly a problem for negative integers, we can use the same trick as for tuples and define a new 'NewLineMinus' token. That token CANNOT be part of a binop expression. That means it's impossible to write a binary operation with a minus over multiple lines, or more specifically, with the '-' symbol on a newline. This sounds like a fair limitation. What we get in exchange is less ambiguity when parsing patterns following expressions in when clause cases.
Another more cumbersome option could be to preserve the first newline encountered after a 'right-arrow' symbol and before any parenthesis or curly brace is found (which would otherwise signal the beginning of a new block). That requires to traverse, at least partially, the list of tokens twice. This feels unnecessary for now and until we do face a similar issue with a binary operator.
The main goal is to make the parser more reusable to be used for when-clauses, instead of the expression parser. A side goal has been to make it more readable by moving the construction of some untyped expression as method on UntypedExpr. Doing so, I got rid of the extra temporary 'ParseArg' type and re-used the generic 'CallArg' instead by simply using an Option<UntypedExpr> as value to get the same semantic as 'ParseArg' (which would distinguish between plain call args and holes). Now the chained parser is in a bit more reusable state.
We do not actually every parse negative values in there, as a negative value is a combination of a 'Negate' and 'UInt' expression.
However, for patterns and constant, it'll be simpler to parse whole Int values as there's no ambiguity with arithmetic operations
there. To avoid confusion of having some 'Int' constructors containing only non-negative values, and some being on the whole range,
I've renamed the constructor to 'UInt' to make this more obvious.
This was a bit more tricky than anticipated but played out nicely in
the end. Now we have one holistic way of parsing todos and errors
instead of it being duplicated between when/clause and sequence. The
error/todo parser has been moved up to the expression part rather than
being managed when parsing sequences. Not sure what motivated that to
begin with.
Fixes#621.
Alleviate a bit more the top-level expression parser. Note that we
probably need a bit more disciplined in what we export and at what level
because there doesn't seem to be much logic as for whether a parser is
private, exported to the crate only or to the wide open. I'd be in favor
of exporting everything by default.
Also moved the logic for 'int' and 'string' there though it is trivial. Yet, for bytearray, it tidies things nicely by removing them from the 'utils' module.
Equality on a union-type is potentially dangerous as the compiler won't
complain if we add a new case that we don't cover. Reversing the
assignment by yielding a `Token` for a given `AssignmentKind`. This way
we can use a pattern-match that got us covered for future cases.
The 'public' util was arguably not really adding much except a layer of indirection.
In the end, one useful parsing behavior to abstract is the idea of 'optional flag' that we use for both 'pub' and 'opaque' keywords.
