Guesses whether the input is an expression or statement and handles it
appropriately. Finally, after over a year, the Wren REPL automatically
prints "3" if you type in "1 + 2". \o/
It doesn't actually execute code yet, but it:
- Supports left and right arrow keys for moving the cursor.
- Ctrl-C, Ctrl-D, Ctrl-A, and Ctrl-E for navigating.
- Syntax highlights the line (!).
The next step is to do a rough parse so that we can tell if the line
is an expression, statement, or needs more input. That will tell us
whether we need to interpret it at the top level (statement) and not
worry about a result, evaluate it as an expression and print the result,
or read more lines.
There's nothing new in this "release", but now is as good a time as any
to start versioning. Going forward, I plan to do periodic releases and
update the changelog so users can see what's going on.
- Break embedding out into a separate section with multiple pages.
- Document the constraints on the API.
- Document the slot array and WrenValue.
Still lots more to do, but getting there...
This has a couple of pros:
- It simplifies some code that used to have to check whether a called
thing is a bare function or a closure.
- It's faster because we don't need to do the above checks every time
something is called.
- It lets us more precisely type some fields that used to be Obj*
because they could hold an ObjClosure* or ObjFn*.
The cost is that we allocate a closure every time a function is
declared, even if it has no upvalues. Since functions are called way
more often than they are declared, this is still a net win.
