- Fixed a number of bugs
- Upgrading build system to a more uniform system
- Improving error output (for IDE)
- Changed parser to generate line offsets differently (easier for IDE to process)
Revamped the compilation system; it now works fully modular. Also, a new ScriptingEngine class has been created to make it very easy to create a scripting environment.
- 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 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
- Removed some redundant types
- Moved scopes to CodeModel and removed Linker
- Added const members and expression support for them
- Added statement transformation (can be used by annotations)
- Refactored some formatting things to be reusable for source code translation targets
- Removed generic compare
- Rewrote the way builtins are handled and implemented nearly all operations for all supported basic / builtin types
- Added java source code compilation
- Added throw expression, allowing a throw to be formulated as expression (handy inside matches)
- Split token stream and parser (will be important for the IDE)
- Can now parse directly from a token stream (doesn't have to be a file)
- Changed the way libraries are stored in projects
- Tokens no longer contain their position (will be important for the IDE)
- Fixed validator acting up on type argument validation
- Moved enum constants to enum type, they are no longer type members
- Added override modifier
- Performed some minor fixes during compilation
- Fixed type member registration on optionals
- Expanded arrays with functional methods
-
- Added (key, value) iterator for associative arrays
- Added type bounds checking code
- Fixed definitions not being added to the respective packages
- Fixed various bugs with generics
- Added some things to stdlib and created collections library
