tamer: asg::air::object::tpl: Reject multi-expression shape
This enforces the new constraint that templates expanding into an `Expr`
context must only inline a single `Expr`.
Perhaps in the future we'll support explicit splicing, like `,@` in
Lisp. But this new restriction is intended for two purposes:
- To make templates more predictable (if you have a list of expressions
inlined then they will act differently depending on the type of
expression that they are inlined into, which means that more defensive
programming would otherwise be required); and
- To make expansion easier, since we're going to have to set aside an
expansion workspace ahead of time to ensure ordering (Petgraph can't
replace edges in-place). If we support multi-expansion, we'd have to
handle associativity in all expression contexts.
This'll become more clear in future commits.
It's nice to see all this hard work coming together now, though; it's easy
now to perform static analysis on the system, and any part of the graph
construction can throw errors with rich diagnostic information and still
recover properly. And, importantly, the system enforces its own state, and
the compiler helps us with that (the previous commits).

tamer: Very basic support for template application NIR -> xmli
This this a big change that's difficult to break up, and I don't have the
energy after it.
This introduces nullary template application, short- and long-form. Note
that a body of the short form is a `@values@` argument, so that's not
supported yet.
This continues to formalize the idea of what "template application" and
"template expansion" mean in TAMER. It makes a separate `TplApply`
unnecessary, because now application is simply a reference to a
template. Expansion and application are one and the same: when a template
expands, it'll re-bind metavariables to the parent context. So in a
template context, this amounts to application.
But applying a closed template will have nothing to bind, and so is
equivalent to expansion. And since `Meta` objects are not valid outside of
a `Tpl` context, applying a non-closed template outside of another template
will be invalid.
So we get all of this with a single primitive (getting the "value" of a
template).
The expansion is conceptually like `,@` in Lisp, where we're splicing trees.
It's a mess in some spots, but I want to get this committed before I do a
little bit of cleanup.

Short-hand template application.

|
|
|
These get expanding into the long form so that we don't have to translate
|
|
|
|
back and forth between the underscore-padded strings.
|
|
|
|
The fixpoint test will further verify that TAMER also recognizes the long
|
|
|
|
`apply-template` form,
|
|
|
|
asserting their equivalency.

tamer: nir::tplshort: Desugar body into @values@
This represents a significant departure from how the XSLT-based TAME handles
the `@values@` param, but it will end up having the same effect. It builds
upon prior work, utilizing the fact that referencing a template in TAMER
will expand it.
The problem is this: allowing trees in `Meta` would add yet another
container; we have `Pkg` and `Tpl` already. This was the same problem with
template application---I didn't want to add support for binding arguments
separately, and so re-used templates themselves, reaching the generalization
I just mentioned above.
`Meta` is intended to be a lexical metasyntatic variable. That keeps its
implementation quite simple. But if we start allowing trees, that gets
rather complicated really quickly, and starts to require much more complex
AIR parser state.
But we can accomplish the same behavior by desugaring into an existing
container---a template---and placing the body within it. Then, in the
future, we'll parse `param-copy` into a simple `Air::RefIdent`, which will
expand the closed template and produce the same result as it does today in
the XSLT-based system.
This leaves open issues of closure (variable binding) in complex scenarios,
such as in templates that introduce metavariables to be utilized by the
body. That's never a practice I liked, but we'll see how things evolve.
Further, this does not yet handle nested template applications.
But this saved me a ton of work. Desugaring is much simpler.
The question is going to be how the XSLT-based compiler responds to this for
large packages with thousands of template applications. I'll have to see
if it's worth the hit at that time, or if we should inline it when
generating the `xmli` file, producing the same `@values@` as
before. But as it stands at this moment, the output is _not_ compatible
with the current compiler, as it expects `@values@` to be a tree, so a
modification would have to be made there.

Shorthand template bodies desugar into the param `@values@`.
|
|
|
|
Unlike in the XSLT-based TAMER,
|
|
|
|
metavaraibles (template parameters) are purely lexical,
|
|
|
|
and do not contain trees,
|
|
|
|
simplifying its implementation.
|
|
|
|
Desugaring instead takes advantage of existing features by generating a
|
|
|
|
_new_ closed template with the body from the shorthand application.
|
|
|
|
Since closed templates can be applied by referencing them as a value,
|
|
|
|
which expands them in place,
|
|
|
|
this ends up having the same effect as a `param-copy`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For now,
|
|
|
|
the expected output asserts on this behavior,
|
|
|
|
but if this has a significantly negative impact on performance of the
|
|
|
|
XSLT-based compiler,
|
|
|
|
then it'll have to inline during desugaring.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This asserts verbatim on the output,
|
|
|
|
which uses a generated id based on the span.
|
|
|
|
This is fragile,
|
|
|
|
and it may break often;
|
|
|
|
just take the hex span from the test failure in that case.

tamer: Very basic support for template application NIR -> xmli
This this a big change that's difficult to break up, and I don't have the
energy after it.
This introduces nullary template application, short- and long-form. Note
that a body of the short form is a `@values@` argument, so that's not
supported yet.
This continues to formalize the idea of what "template application" and
"template expansion" mean in TAMER. It makes a separate `TplApply`
unnecessary, because now application is simply a reference to a
template. Expansion and application are one and the same: when a template
expands, it'll re-bind metavariables to the parent context. So in a
template context, this amounts to application.
But applying a closed template will have nothing to bind, and so is
equivalent to expansion. And since `Meta` objects are not valid outside of
a `Tpl` context, applying a non-closed template outside of another template
will be invalid.
So we get all of this with a single primitive (getting the "value" of a
template).
The expansion is conceptually like `,@` in Lisp, where we're splicing trees.
It's a mess in some spots, but I want to get this committed before I do a
little bit of cleanup.

This next one is a bit awkward,
|
|
|
|
because it creates an ambiguity when regenerating XML.
|
|
|
|
Each of `match`, `when`, and `c:*` are represented the same on the graph,
|
|
|
|
so it will not be clear until expansion how the body of the below
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ambiguity will go away once template application is performed by
|
|
|
|
TAMER in the near future;
|
|
|
|
until that time,
|
|
|
|
we cannot support the generation of each of those things within
|
|
|
|
templates.

tamer: asg: Require that all template parameters be referenced in body
This ensures that each metavariable defined within a template (a template
parameter) has, by the time that the template definition is ended, at least
one reference to each metavariable.
This has practical benefits---ensuring that you haven't forgotten to use a
metavariable; ensuring that you clean up when code is removed; and ensuring
that you didn't accidentally delete some reference that you didn't intend to
(at least in the case of _all_ references...)---but the rationale for it in
this commit is a bit different. More on that below.
This does introduce the negative effect of making it more difficult to
consume inputs without utilizing them, acting more like a relevant type
system (in terms of substructural type systems and with respect to
metavariables, at least). You can for now reference them in contexts that
would reasonably have no effect on the program or be optimized away, but in
the future it'd be nice to explicitly state "hey this isn't intended to be
used yet", especially if you're creating shells of templates, or trying to
maintain BC in a particular situation. But more on that in the future.
For now, the real reason for this change is because of how I intend for
template expansion to work: by walking the body. Rather than having to
check both the parameters of the template and then expand the body
separately, we can simply trust that each parameter is referenced. Then,
after rebinding metavariable references, we can perform the same check on
the expansion template to see if there were arguments provided that do not
correspond to parameters.
This also adds flexibility with parameters that are used
conditionally---we'll be able to have conditionally required parameters in
error reporting.
More information on this is coming, though; it'll be included in the docs of
the commit that introduces the changes.
