Jesse D. McDonald fd62415dee Fix pattern-matching for (value-list (#%apply ...)), etc.
Fix assertion in gc_object_left_behind() to work in Gen-0 collection.
Add (weak-box?) and (make-weak-box) primitives. (unbox) now works for both.
Add option to just simplify the input (stops before reduce-function).
Default to writing .rla without indentation, comments, or newlines.

Jesse D. McDonald 9e4286b49e Refactor (define) parser to work in (let), (lambda), (begin), etc.
Add support for (fix=), (list), (and), (or), (cond), (when), and (unless).
Fix a mapper bug which could assign the same frame var to separate variables.
Update make-struct primitive for new structure type layout.
Change primitives to use #% as prefix instead of just %.
Add primitive operations for comparing byte-strings.

Jesse D. McDonald 96b3bded17 Add a primitive operation to calculate a 30-bit hash from any value.
Pairs, boxes, and strings are hashed by values; vectors and structures
are "hashed" by reference. Takes into account the possibility of cycles.
This is a prelude to implementing hash-tables.

Jesse D. McDonald e375edfc83 Improve on struct_is_a() and expose it as a VM primitive operation. 2012-07-14 13:45:36 -05:00
Jesse D. McDonald a98ecda079 Commit other half of doc/compiler.txt -> compiler.ss move. 2012-07-14 13:43:50 -05:00
Jesse D. McDonald fd17fcd99c Update compiler description (now a working Scheme program).
Maps lexical variables, decodes argument lists, and flattens procedures
to simple lists of primitive operations, but does not yet convert to
CPS or perform register (gN, iN, fN) allocation, much less optimization.

Jesse D. McDonald 314e167e6e Commit initial notes on compilation from Scheme-like source code. 2012-07-14 13:43:37 -05:00
Jesse D. McDonald f542fa2bd5 Add bytecodes to skip the rest of a block based on a condition.
Should simplify error-handling and sequences of primitive tests.
Also, automatically instantiate templates used in the tail-call lambda & cont'n fields.

Jesse D. McDonald bc3df6dd17 Swap continuation & context in the lambda and template structures.
This is to separate the three 'call' parameters (target, argv, ctx) from
the 'return to' parameter (k). The old order made it look as if the dynamic
context was in some way related to the continuation, which is not the case.

Jesse D. McDonald 8ca34f40ec Add a bytecode which returns the type of a given structure. 2012-07-14 13:42:59 -05:00
Jesse D. McDonald 8f263daffc Add a reserved input code for 'self', the current lambda.
Correct an error in the documentation for the condition bytecode(s).
Adjust the printer to limit the depth of non-cyclic object output.
2012-07-14 13:42:04 -05:00
Jesse D. McDonald 0e62641919 Check in a second program, this time demonstrating basic I/O.
Also filter cycles and long byte-strings from print_value() output.
Added three new bytecodes to get the sizes of vectors, strings, and structs.
2012-07-14 13:41:37 -05:00
Jesse D. McDonald b74f0cddda Adjust number-reader to allow 'negative zero' FP values.
Also add builtins for NaN and +/- infinity, and bytecodes for classification.
2012-07-14 13:40:52 -05:00
Jesse D. McDonald 10fbc269c5 Implement the remaining bytecodes. Adjust some of the numbering.
Also, use #<undefined> for "not yet initialized" and #f for "no value".

Jesse D. McDonald 0005ef2f86 Assign numbers to the bytecodes. Place all unary codes into one group. 2012-07-14 13:38:34 -05:00
Jesse D. McDonald 0a2f13b523 Added built-in structure types and interpreter core (w/o bytecode).
Improved timing resolution by using clock_gettime() instead of clock().
Also gave project a name: Rosella. Play on 'Parrot' (Perl 6 VM).

Jesse D. McDonald 080906fa72 Move documentation into a subdirectory. 2012-07-14 13:37:48 -05:00
