Previously union types could have no-argument constructors, for
example the option type was previously:
union option ('a : Type) = {
Some : 'a,
None
}
Now every union constructor must have a type, so option becomes:
union option ('a : Type) = {
Some : 'a,
None : unit
}
The reason for this is because previously these two different types of
constructors where very different in the AST, constructors with
arguments were used the E_app AST node, and no-argument constructors
used the E_id node. This was particularly awkward, because it meant
that E_id nodes could have polymorphic types, i.e. every E_id node
that was also a union constructor had to be annotated with a type
quantifier, in constrast with all other identifiers that have
unquantified types. This became an issue when monomorphising types,
because the machinery for figuring out function instantiations can't
be applied to identifier nodes. The same story occurs in patterns,
where previously unions were split across P_id and P_app nodes - now
the P_app node alone is used solely for unions.
This is a breaking change because it changes the syntax for union
constructors - where as previously option was matched as:
function is_none opt = match opt {
Some(_) => false,
None => true
}
it is now matched as
function is_none opt = match opt {
Some(_) => false,
None() => true
}
note that constructor() is syntactic sugar for constructor(()), i.e. a
one argument constructor with unit as it's value. This is exactly the
same as for functions where a unit-function can be called as f() and
not as f(()). (This commit also makes exit() work consistently in the
same way) An attempt to pattern match a variable with the same name as
a union-constructor now gives an error as a way to guard against
mistakes made because of this change.
There is probably an argument for supporting the old syntax via some
syntactic sugar, as it is slightly prettier that way, but for now I
have chosen to keep the implementation as simple as possible.
The RISCV spec, ARM spec, and tests have been updated to account for
this change. Furthermore the option type can now be included from
$SAIL_DIR/lib/ using
$include <option.sail>

New testcase for bitfield syntax
Updated to work with latest lem and linksem

* Changed comment syntax to C-style /* */ and //
* References to registers and mutable variables are never created
implicitly - a reference to a register or variable R is now created
via the expression "ref R". References are assigned like "(*Y) = X",
with "(*ref R) = X" being equivalent to "R = X". Everything is always
explicit now, which simplifies the logic in the typechecker. There's
also now an invariant that every id directly in a LEXP is mutable,
which is actually required for our rewriter steps to be sound.
* More flexible syntax for L-expressions to better support wierd
power-idioms, some syntax sugar means that:
X.GET(a, b, c) ==> _mod_GET(X, a, b, c)
X->GET(a, b, c) ==> _mod_GET(ref X, a, b, c)
for setters, this can be combined with the (still somewhat poorly
named) LEXP_memory construct, such that:
X->SET(a, b, c) = Y ==> _mod_SET(ref X, a, b, c, Y)
Currently I use the _mod_ prefix for these 'modifier' functions, but
we could omit that a la rust.
* The register bits typedef construct no longer exists in the
typechecker. This construct never worked consistently between backends
and inc/dec vectors, and it can be easily replaced by structs with
fancy setters/getters if need be. One can also use custom type operators to mimic the syntax, i.e.
type operator ... ('n : Int) ('m : Int) = slice('n, 'm)
struct cr = {
CR0 : 32 ... 35,
/* 32 : LT; 33 : GT; 34 : EQ; 35 : SO; */
CR1 : 36 ... 39,
/* 36 : FX; 37 : FEX; 38 : VX; 39 : OX; */
CR2 : 40 ... 43,
CR3 : 44 ... 47,
CR4 : 48 ... 51,
CR5 : 52 ... 55,
CR6 : 56 ... 59,
CR7 : 60 ... 63,
}
This greatly simplifies a lot of the logic in the typechecker, as it
means that E_field is no longer ambiguously overloaded between records
and register bit typedefs. This also makes writing semantics for these
constructs much simpler.

Experimenting with porting riscv model to new typechecker

Add the ast.sed script we need to build sail. Currently we just need
this to fix up the locations in the AST but it will be removed once we
can share locations between ocaml and lem.

Requires linenoise library (opam install linenoise) for readline
support. Use 'make isail' to build sail with interactive
support. Plain 'make sail' should work as before with no additional
dependencies.
Use 'sail -i <commands>' to run sail interactively, e.g.
sail -new_parser -i test/ocaml/prelude.sail test/ocaml/trycatch/tc.sail
then try some commands for typechecking and evaluation
sail> :t main
sail> main ()
Doesn't use the lem interpreter right now, instead has a small
operational semantics in src/interpreter.ml, but this is not very
complete and will be changed/removed.
