v0.0.5 - 🍏 MacOS / c style for loop, string references, inlinec, make

What's new

Release changes

• MacOS build 🍏
  • You need to chmod +x <binary> for all the 4 binaries
  • You need to xattr -d com.apple.quarantine <binary> for all the 4 binaries

chmod +x carpntr
chmod +x hammer
chmod +x yaksha
chmod +x zig
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine carpntr
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine hammer
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine yaksha
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine zig

• Linuxgnu libc build in addition to musl build 🐧
• Now the release builds are done using 2 different github actions (Windows 🪟, MacOS 🍏)
• From now on we only support .7z archives. (It is cross platform and open source, and lot more efficient than a .zip file) 🗜️

C Style For

• Alternative loop similar to c-style programming languages.

def main() -> int:
    for (x = 0; x < 10; x = x + 1):
        println(x)
    return 0

String references sr

• sr does not copy strings like str, as it is a string reference.
• Avoids unnecessary allocations
• Read more in depth - https://yakshalang.github.io/yama/0009_strings_revisited/
• (Various string literal optimisations were done as well)

def do_something(s: sr) -> int:
    print("Printing sr: ")
    println(s)
    return 0

def takes_str(s: str) -> int:
    print("Printing str: ")
    println(s)
    return 0

def main() -> int:
    oi = "Oi"
    do_something(oi)
    takes_str("Oi oi")
    return 0

Optimisation

• Initial version of usage analyser and deadcode eliminator.

Better C integration make and inlinec

@nativedefine("struct foreign")
struct Foreign:
    pass

def main() -> int:
    a: Ptr[Foreign] = make("Foreign")
    b: Ptr[Foreign] = inlinec("Ptr[Foreign]", "make_foreign_ptr()")
    return 0

Number autocast

• Now you can assign smaller sized numbers to larger numbers.
• Bool is casted to 1 or 0 when assigned to numbers.

def main() -> int:
    a = 0
    b = True
    for (x = 0; x < 10; x = x + 1):
        a += b 
    println(a)
    # Note - return can be omitted
    0

Libraries

unittest

• New unittest (macros) library.
• Note the console import is also required. 💀

import libs.unittest as u
import libs.strings as s
import libs.console as console

u.test_case!{"libs.strings.contains"}:
    u.assert_true!{"""strings.contains("", "")""" (s.contains("", ""))}
    u.assert_true!{"""strings.contains("a", "a")""" (s.contains("a", "a"))}
    u.assert_true!{"""strings.contains("ab", "a")""" (s.contains("ab", "a"))}
    u.assert_false!{"""strings.contains("a", "ab")""" (s.contains("a", "ab"))}
    u.end_test_case!{}

u.test_case!{"libs.strings.startswith"}:
    u.assert_true!{"""strings.startswith("", "")""" (s.startswith("", ""))}
    u.assert_true!{"""strings.startswith("a", "a")""" (s.startswith("a", "a"))}
    u.assert_true!{"""strings.startswith("ab", "a")""" (s.startswith("ab", "a"))}
    u.end_test_case!{}

u.run_all!{}

io

• Various file io functions - fseek_*, fwrite, etc.
• Memory mapping io - mmap, munmap, etc. (Works in Windows too 😀)

numbers

• Endian conversion - to_le16, to_be32, etc.
