Version 0.21.0 of walt-compiler
Features
- Type aliases. Any type can be aliased N-times. Eg.
type Integer = i32; - Basic union types, only indexed (arrays) of native types are allowed to be combined with structs. Done via
|operator in type declarations. Eg.type Indexed = SomeStruct | i32[];. - Arrays of structs properly supported. Indexing into struct arrays now returns offset to the desired memory address instead of a load operation at the address.
- Direct addressing/offset in structs now supported. This allows indexing directly into memory mapped by a struct, instead of indirectly by loading the address stored in the struct property. Done by prefixing a key with a
&operator. Eg.type String = { byteLength: i32, &data: i32[] }; - Created dedicated specs to syntax features - work in progress.
- Internal tests can now debug themselves via magic
INTROSPECT_*exports, which can print debug version of the syntax without editing test harness logic.
Bugfixes
- Multiple fixes of property access on struct types.
- Multiple fixes to grammar (mostly struct/array related).
- Struct validation fixes.
- Fix structs as return values of functions.
