We've been wrongly representing large ints as BigInt, causing them to
behave differently in the VM through builtins like 'serialise_data'.
Indeed, we expect anything that fits in 8 bytes to be encoded as Major
Type 0 or 1. But we were switching to encoding as Major type 6
(tagged, PosBigInt, NegBigInt) for much smaller values! Anything
outside of the range [-2^32, 2^32-1] would be treated as big int
(positive or negative).
Why? Because we checked whether a value i would fit in an i64, and if
it didn't we treated it as big int. But the reality is more subtle...
Fortunately, Rust has i128 and the minicbor library implements TryFrom
which enforces that the value fits in a range of [-2^64, 2^64 - 1], so
we're back on track easily.
- 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
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...
There's really no scenario where we want to generate boilerplate that
always end up being removed. In particular, the boilerplate breaks
tutorial as it generate conflicting validators in the blueprint.
The only argument in favor of the boilerplate is to serve as example
and show people some syntax reminder. However, this is better done in
the README or on the user manual directly.
