The main trick here was transforming Assignment
to contain `Vec<UntypedPattern, Option<Annotation>>`
in a field called patterns. This then meant that I
could remove the `pattern` and `annotation` field
from `Assignment`. The parser handles `=` and `<-`
just fine because in the future `=` with multi
patterns will mean some kind of optimization on tuples.
But, since we don't have that optimization yet, when
someone uses multi patterns with an `=` there will be an
error returned from the type checker right where `infer_seq`
looks for `backpassing`. From there the rest of the work
was in `Project::backpassing` where I only needed to rework
some things to work with a list of patterns instead of just one.
The 3rd kind of assignment kind (Bind) is gone and now reflected through a boolean parameter. Note that this parameter is completely erased by the type-checker so that the rest of the pipeline (i.e. code-generation) doesn't have to make any assumption. They simply can't see a backpassing let or expect.
This is more holistic and less awkward than having monadic bind working only with some pre-defined type. Backpassing work with _any_ function, and can be implemented relatively easily by rewriting the AST on-the-fly.
Also, it is far easier to explain than trying to explain what a monadic bind is, how its behavior differs from type to type and why it isn't generally available for any monadic type.
This was a mess to say to the least. The mess started when we wanted
to make all definitions in codegen use immutable maps of references --
which was and still is a good idea. Yet, the population of the data
types and functions definitions was done somehow in a separate step,
in a rather ad-hoc manner.
This commit changes that to ensure the project's data_types and
functions are populated while type checking the AST such that we need
not to redo it after.
The code for registering the data type definitions and function
definitions was also duplicated in at least 3 places. It is now a
method of the TypedModule.
Note: this change isn't only just cosmetic, it's also necessary for
the commit that follows which aims at adding tests to the set of
available function definitions, thus allowing to make property tests
callable.
Those end-to-end tests are useful. Both for controlling the behavior of the shrinker, but also to double check the reification of Plutus Data back into untyped expressions.
I had to work-around a few things to get opaque type and private types play nice. Also found a weird bug due to how we apply parameters after unique debruijn indexes have been also applied. A work-around is to re-intern the program.
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.
This commit allows Data to be optionally annotated with a
phantom-type. This doesn't change anything in codegen but we can now
leverage this information to generate better blueprint schemas.
This allows for a more fine-grained control over how the traces are showed. Now users can instrument the compiler to preserve only their user-defined traces, or the only the compiler, or all, or none. We also want to add another trace level on top of that: 'compact' to only show line numbers; which will work for both user-defined and/or compiler-generated traces.
It's a bit 'off-topic' to keep these in aiken-lang as those functions are really just about lsp. Plus, it removes a bit some of the boilerplate and make the entire edition more readable and re-usable. Now we can tackle other similar errors with the same quickfix.
This removes the need to rely on the formatter to clear things up
after insert a new import. While this is not so useful for imports, I
wanted to experiment with the approach for future similar edits (for
example, when suggesting an inline rewrite).
- 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

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.
This is simply a syntactic sugar which desugarize to a function call with two arguments mapped to the specified binary operator.
Only works for '>' at this stage as a PoC, extending to all binop in the next commit.
