ArkScript v3.0.11

Change Log

3.0.11

Added

• member function resolve(Args&& args...) to Value, callable by plugins to resolve the value of a function called with specific arguments given by the plugin
• (fill qu value) create a list of qu values
• (setListAt list at new-value) modify a list in place and return the new list value
• adding UTF-8 support in programs (experimental)
• more benchmarks
• on error, the VM now display the value of each variable in the current scope
• added thirdparty/madureira/String, to replace std::string in Ark::internal::Value which was heavy and slower than the new implementation
• minimizing the size of the usertype

Changed

• UserType does not need to be given a manually defined type id but relies on typeid(T)
• performance boost of the VM by using pointers to avoid unecessary copies
• renaming isNaN to NaN?, isInf to Inf? for uniformisation (see empty?, nil?)
• renaming CLI feature options:
  • -ffunction-arity-check becomes -ffac, same for the -fno- version
  • -fauthorize-invalid-token-after-paren becomes -faitap, some for the -fno- version
• improving compiler performances by using const ref when passing nodes around
• renaming the FFI "builtins" because it's not a FFI but a set of functions using the VM API
• the VM should display a backtrace even if an unknown error occured
• transforming inline code from the vm into not inline code when possible to speed compilation, using macros instead of inline functions
• smaller value class
• smaller vm frames
• forked madureira/String and modified it for the needs of the project, added it as a submodule
• removed the VM pointer from the value class to make it lighter, now the VM is sending a pointer of itself to the C procedures
• removed const and type from value, now using a uint8_t to store those informations

Removed

• removed NFT from the internal API to rely only on the value type

ArkScript v3.0.10

3.0.10

Added

• adding sort to sort a list
• added \t, \n, \v and \r escape codes (available in strings only)
• adding listFiles which returns a list of paths (strings)
• adding (makeDir path) and (removeFiles ...)
• added (filter func list) in lib/Functional/Functional.ark
• adding puts. Does the same thing as print but doesn't print a newline character
• added a msgpack module by @PierrePharel
• added a user type (to be defined in C++)
• adding a not operator
• adding an http module by @SuperFola

Changed

• updated output of tests with number of passed tests
• updated REPL so that it doesn't try to compile blank lines or comments, by @rstefanic
• the option -d|--debug is now repeatable, to set a debug level. Can go from 1 (compilation information) to 3 (a lot of information).
• better precision when using (time)
• better tests presentation
• moved the modules to https://github.com/ArkScript-lang/modules

ArkScript v3.0.9

3.0.9

Added

• fixing segfault when the VM receives an empty code page (generated from an empty block)
• (print (fun () ())) will now print Function @ 1 instead of just its page addr, 1
• (if true () ()) now returns nil (can be generalized to () -> nil)
• anonymous functions are now available ; eg: ((fun () (print "a")))
• added forEach in library
• added -c|--compile option to the CLI so that we can only compile an ArkScript file instead of compiling and running it, by @DontBelieveMe
• added min and max in lib/Math/Arithmetic.ark, by @FrenchMasterSword
• added reduce in lib/Functional/Reduce.ark, by @FrenchMasterSword
• added product in lib/List/Product.ark, by @FrenchMasterSword

Changed

• a quoted code (defered evaluation) isn't capturing anymore surrounding variables' values, thus increasing greatly performances
• lists are printed like ["string" 1 true] now, instead of ( string 1 true )
• updated zip so that it can work with lists of different sizes, by @FrenchMasterSword
• better cyclic includes detection
• better VM error message when redefining a variable through let

ArkScript v3.0.8

3.0.8

Added

• it's now possible to compare Values using operator<
• reverseList (added to the FFI) by @rinz13r
• a warning will now pop up during compilation if code appears to be ill-formed (eg number/string/list right after a ()
• option -f(allow-invalid-token-after-paren|no-invalid-token-after-paren) was added (default: OFF)

Changed

• the internal API used to compare values has been updated to be much shorter
• the REPL can take into account the lib directory, by @rstefanic
• isNaN and isInf should work on any type but return false if they aren't numbers
• replacing Ark with ArkScript in source code and files (Ark being the shortname for ArkScript, as JS is the shortname for Javascript)
• findInList now returns nil when the object can not be found, otherwise it returns its index in the list

ArkScript v3.0.7

3.0.7

Added

• cos, arccos, sin, arcsin, tan, arctan
• E (exp 1), Pi, Tau (2 * Pi), NaN, Inf
• isNaN, isInf
• exp, ln (standard logarithm), pow, sqrt
• ceil, round, floor
• zip, map, sum
• REPL, made by @rstefanic

Changed

• moved the lib files in subfolders to be more organized
• re-updating the import rules on the parser side to be able to import files in subfolders from the standard library
• updating naming convention of the modules

ArkScript v3.0.6-b

3.0.6-b

Added

• adding lib/Functional.ark to store (compose f g)

Changed

• the VM now deletes all scopes except the global one in case of failure, when the persisting flag is set
• fixing plugin importation

ArkScript v3.0.6

3.0.6

Added

• function arity handling in the VM, can be disabled with the option -fno-function-arity-check
• sliceStr in lib/Slice.ark, taking a string, a starting index (can't be less than 0), and the length (can't be less than 1), returning a portion of the given string
• reverseStr in lib/Reverse.ark taking a string and returning it in reverse

Changed

• updated the include module, which was randomly adding / before the path of the files
• dispatched the unit tests in multiple files
• now using a separated class to hold the description values for the VM
• updated assertions in split in lib/Split.ark (works only with single character separators)
• fixing import bug

ArkScript v3.0.5

3.0.5

Added

• the parser can now recognize expressions like ((f f) x)
• we can now create Ark::Value with floats

Changed

• the init() internal method of the VM shouldn't stop when a binded function isn't used in the code, just ignore it
• the compiler shouldn't crash on a bad code block
• better line counter in lexer
• the VM shouldn't try to run a non-existing bytecode file if the compilation fails (when calling doFile())
• VM.call should return nil if the stack is empty, otherwise it results in a vector subscript out of range and that's bad
• the SFML plugin was updated to run on Windows

Shipping with the compiled modules this time

ArkScript v3.0.4

Change log

• with the option -L|--lib we can set the path to the ArkScript standard library

• print no longer add a space between each element
• updating the way the builtins are handled (in VM/FFI) to make it easier to add functions

Removed
