Negative numbers now show up as a constant instead of 0 - that number
Expect on constructors without field maps no longer panics
Expect on constructors with discard as assigned field names now no longer throws free unique
@MartinSchere noticed a weird error
where an unknown variable wasn't being reported
the type checker was incorrectly scoping
arguments for anonymous function definitions.
Luckily his compilation failed due to a FreeUnique
error during code gen which is good. But this may
have been the source of other mysterious FreeUnique
errors.
I also noticed that anonymous function allowed
arguments with the same name to be defined.
`fn(arg, arg)`
This now returns an error.
And disable multi-patterns clauses. I was originally just controlling
whether we did disable that from the parser but then I figured we
could actually support multi-patterns clauses quite easily by simply
desugaring a multi-pattern into multiple clauses.
This is only a syntactic sugar, which means that the cost of writing
that on-chain is as expensive as writing the fully expanded form; yet
it seems like a useful shorthand; especially for short clause
expressions.
This commit however disables multi-pattern when clauses, which we do
not support in the code-generation. Instead, one pattern on tuples for
that.
This leads to more consistent formatting across entire Aiken programs.
Before that commit, only long expressions would be formatted on a
newline, causing non-consistent formatting and additional reading
barrier when looking at source code.
Programs also now take more vertical space, which is better for more
friendly diffing in version control systems (especially git).
It is now possible to leave a hole in a type annotation and have the compiler fill-in the expected type of us.
This is a pretty useful debugging tool when playing with complex functions.
