- Ranges now only have a single base type; from and to must be the same type
- Adjusted builtins and stdlib to use usize where applicable
- Moved building a SemanticModule from ParsedFile to the parser; reduces dependencies
Fixed results from generic methods not being cast to the right type. Also fixed some bugs related to variants and added the variant value creation syntax VariantName.Option(arguments).
- Fixed ranges, all range types should be supported now
- Cleaned up unused code
- Refactored the JavaMethodInfo class to the shared JavaMethod one
- Use valueOf for boxing instead of the boxed type constructors
- Added ordinal to variant options
- Added GetMatchingVariantField; from now on values retrieved from variant option fields in a match or case will result in such expression. This may make it easier for compilers.
- WIP on improving iterable implementations
- Added validation of implementation completeness
- Added definition normalization (now also adds destructors as necessary)
- Fix interfaces with base interfaces
- Fixed various issues with generics and made instancing strict (all generic types MUST be defined in the mapper or an exception is thrown)
- Member registration mapping is now all-or-nothing: either no mapping is performed (for local scopes) or ALL mentioned type parameters must have an entry in the type parameter map.
- Static inner type IDs (including inner interfaces and inner aliases) no longer record their outer type; this caused problems when comparing types
- Fixed numerous issues with undetermined types, type inference, type aliases, inner types and generic types
- Distinguished between type resolution and code compilation stages, both have a different context now
- Added new concepts: "compiling type" and "compiling package", which is able to precompile correctly now
- Rewrote the way precompilation works; precompilation no longer exists, instead, compilation order of methods is changed. This reduces the amount of code needed and improves quality of the system.
- Fixed members of base interfaces not being available to implementation code
- Changed the way type modifiers are coded
- Changed the way modified types are processed
- Added immutable keyword
- Added expression, statement and type normalization
- Improved naming of synthetic functions
- Fixed crash formatting scripts without script statements
- Fixed bug causing lambda headers not to be inferred anymore
- Refactored some IDE code, also fixes scrolling not working properly
- Added support for implementations and method overriding
- Added override method header inference: if a method overrides or implements another method, and types are missing from the header, these will be inherited from the base method. This works with any kind of method (method, operator, getter, setter, caller)
- Added method return type inference, which is automatically inferred from the return value of the contents of the method. This functionality is not yet fully implemented, and will fail with certain expressions (most notably, member expressions and calls). The goal is to make this system work as long as there is no recursion. This works with methods, operators, getters, calls as well as fields and constants with initializers.
- Removed the any type. With return type inference its usefulness has become even more limited, and proper implementation of the any type is expected to be complicated, thus not worth the effort. (this may be revisited later on, as "any" remains a reserved keyword)
- Fixed compilation of throw as panic expressions in lambda function bodies
- Moved name from FunctionalMember to MethodMember, where it makes more sense
- Each method (or functional) is now also aware of the member that it overrides
- CodePosition now stores source file references rather than source file names, allowing easier matching
- Starting work on error recording and display
- Fixed compilation of modules with dependencies
- Added a couple improvements to code typing for matching brackets
- Fixed java source compilation of abstract classes and methods
