Changed the GHA workflows to:
- Not run `build` and `release` workflows for PRs that only affect `prototyping/`
- Run `prototyping` workflow when PRs affect `Analysis/**`, `Ast/**`, or the `luau-ast` source files
We don't emit type annotations right now for `AstLocal`s in the JSON encoder. This makes it really hard to surface annotations in the Agda implementation. This PR changes it to emit location and type annotations, if present.
Adds a `luau-ast` CLI that dumps Luau source to JSON. @asajeffrey and I are planning to use this functionality to construct an Agda model of the Luau type system/operational semantics, to allow formally proving properties of Luau's type systems.
- Improve refinement support for unions, in particular it's now possible to implement tagged unions as a union of tables where individual branches use a string literal type for one of the fields.
- Fix `string.split` type information
- Optimize `select(_, ...)` to run in constant time (~2.7x faster on VariadicSelect benchmark)
- Improve debug line information for multi-line assignments
- Improve compilation of table literals when table keys are constant expressions/variables
- Use forward GC barrier for `setmetatable` which slightly accelerates GC progress
- TableOperations lint now includes a warning for table.create(N, {}) (which is likely a mistake since the table is shared by all entries)
- Type checker now type checks #v when v is a union
- Parser now rejects sources that consists of a single unfinished long comment
- Work around significant MSVC 2022 performance regression, bringing it more or less in line with MSVC 2019
- Compiler now predicts array size for newly allocated tables when the table is filled in a short loop
- Small improvements in compilation throughput (~2% faster)
- Implement paged sweeper for GC which improves sweep throughput 2-3x and reduces memory consumption by 8 bytes per object (once it is stabilized we will see additional 8 bytes per object of savings)
- Improve Repl Tab completion
- Repl now supports -i (interactive mode to run code in context of a script's environment) and -On (to control optimization flags)
- Rework transaction log used for type checking which should result in more robust type checking internals with fewer bugs
- Reduce the amount of memory consumed by type checker on large module graphs
- Type checker now errors on attempts to change the type of imported module fields
- The return type of newproxy is now any (fixes#296)
- Implement new number printing algorithm (Schubfach) which makes tostring() produce precise (round-trippable) and short decimal output up to 10x faster
- Fix lua_Debug::linedefined to point to the line with the function definition instead of the first statement (fixes#265)
- Fix minor bugs in Tab completion in Repl
- Repl now saves/restores command history in ~/.luau_history
- Upgrade CodeMirror to 5.65
- Enable matching paren highlighting via an addon
- Remove extra buttons and replace clear output with a checkbox
- Highlight error line on parsing/execution error
- Change demo layout to wide to increase available width
This doesn't contain all changes for 507 yet but we might want to do the
Luau 0.507 release a bit earlier to end the year sooner.
Changes:
- Type ascription (::) now permits casts between related types in both directions, allowing to refine or loosen the type (RFC #56)
- Fix type definition for tonumber to return number? since the input string isn't guaranteed to contain a valid number
- Fix type refinements for field access via []
- Many stability fixes for type checker
- Provide extra information in error messages for type mismatches in more cases
- Improve performance of type checking for large unions when union members are string literals
- Add coverage reporting support to Repl (--coverage command line argument) and lua_getcoverage C API
- Work around code signing issues during Makefile builds on macOS
- Improve performance of truthiness checks in some cases, particularly on Apple M1, resulting in 10-25% perf gains on qsort benchmark depending on the CPU/compiler
- Fix support for little-endian systems; IBM s390x here we go!
Attempt to fix coverage builds by using checkout@v2 instead of v1 which might fix the detacthed HEAD issue.
On the off chance it doesn't, add extra logging around git specifically.
* Do not allow regular type assignment to a type pack as a default parameter
* With type pack support in type aliases, this second form with an empty list is now supported
* Update rfcs/syntax-default-type-alias-type-parameters.md
