- Primitives can now signal an error.
- An error prints a callstack and ends the current (and right
now only) fiber.
- Arithmetic operators error if the operand is not a number.
- Real error for method not found.
- Associate source file name, and method names with functions.
- Debug line number info for functions.
Unfortunately, this regresses perf on fib about 15%, mostly
because of the better checking in arithmetic ops.
There's still a bunch of clean up to do, but this is a big step
in the right direction.
Added ".." and "..." infix operators. Num implements them to
return Range objects. Those in turn implement the iterator
protocol, so now numeric for loops are easy:
for (i in 1..10) { ... }
I also cleaned up the Wren benchmarks to use this.
In the process, I discovered the method_call benchmark really
just showed loop peformance, so I unrolled the loops in all of
the languages to stress method calls.
They are now invoked like "new Foo".
Also, superclass constructors are now much less semantically
and syntactically weird. Since the instance is created before
any constructor is called, there's no point in time where the
instance isn't there.
This also fixes a bug where constructors weren't being bound
correctly, and eliminates some unneeded instructions when
compiling ifs.
I also tweaked the other method_call languages to match Wren's.
Since Wren needs to do a super call to get to the parent _count,
the other languages do now too.
This is nice too because it means we're benchmarking super
calls.
In the process, I had to change the grammar. There is now a strong
separation between statements and expressions. The code was just wrong
before when it popped locals at the end of a block scope because there
could be temporaries on the stack if the block was in expression
position. This fixes that.
Still need to implement closing over `this`.
