This is only a start. It compiles, but with a few TODOs left open. In particular, it doesn't currently handle constants depending on other constants or functions; nor does it hoist constants.
The point of those tests is to ensure that blueprints are generated
properly, irrespective of the generated code. It is annoying to
constantly get those test failing every time we introduce an
optimization or something that would slightly change the generated
UPLC.
Cloning a 'Term' is potentially dangerous, so we don't want this to
happen by mistake. So instead, we pass in var names and turn them into
terms when necessary.
- Doesn't allow pattern-matching on G1/G2 elements and strings,
because the use cases for those is unclear and it adds complexity to
the feature.
- We still _parse_ patterns on G1/G2 elements and strings, but emit an
error in those cases.
- The syntax is the same as for bytearray literals (i.e. supports hex,
utf-8 strings or plain arrays of bytes).
While this builtin is readily available through the Aiken syntax
`[head, ..tail]`, there's no reason to not support its builtin form
even though we may not encourage its usage. For completeness and to
avoid bad surprises, it is now supported.
Fixes#964.
While we agree on the idea of having some ways of emitting events, the
design hasn't been completely fleshed out and it is unclear whether
events should have a well-defined format independent of the framework
/ compiler and what this format should be.
So we need more time discussing and agreeing about what use case we
are actually trying to solve with that.
Irrespective of that, some cleanup was also needed on the UPLC side
anyway since the PR introduced a lot of needless duplications.
Refactor get_uplc_type to account for constr types that don't exactly resolve to a uplc type
Check arg_stack in uplc generator has only 1 argument at the end of the generation
warning fixes
Currently, pattern-matching on 'Pair' is handled by treating Pair as a
record, which comes as slightly odd given that it isn't actually a
record and isn't user-defined. Thus now, every use of a record must
distinguish between Pairs and other kind of records -- which screams
for another variant constructor instead.
We cannot use `Tuple` either for this, because then we have no ways to
tell 2-tuples apart from pairs, which is the whole point here. So the
most sensical thing to do is to define a new pattern `Pair` which is
akin to tuples, but simpler since we know the number of elements and
it's always 2.
