Adds an option to hide the `self: type` argument as the first argument in the string representation of a named function type var if the ftv hasSelf.
Also added in a test for the original output (i.e., if the option was disabled)
I didn't apply this option in the normal `Luau::toString()` function, just the `Luau::toStringNamedFunction()` one (for my usecase, that is enough + I felt like a named function would include the method colon `:` to signify self). If this is unintuitive, I can also add it to the general `Luau::toString()` function.
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.
- 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
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!
- Fix some cases where type checking would overflow the native stack
- Improve autocomplete behavior when assigning a partially written function call (not currently exposed through command line tools)
- Improve autocomplete type inference feedback for some expressions where previously the type would not be known
- Improve quantification performance during type checking for large types
- Improve type checking for table literals when the expected type of the table is known because of a type annotation
- Fix type checking errors in cases where required module has errors in the resulting type
- Fix debug line information for multi-line chained call sequences (Add function name information for "attempt to call a nil value" #255)
- lua_newuserdata now takes 2 arguments to match Lua/LuaJIT APIs better; lua_newuserdatatagged should be used if the third argument was non-0.
- lua_ref can no longer be used with LUA_REGISTRYINDEX to prevent mistakes when migrating Lua FFI (Inconsistency with lua_ref #247)
- Fix assertions and possible crashes when executing script code indirectly via metatable dispatch from lua_equal/lua_lessthan/lua_getfield/etc. (Hitting a crash in an assert after lua_equal is called. #259)
- Fix flamegraph scripts to run under Python 2
- Improve error recovery during type checking
- Initial (not fully complete) implementation for singleton types (RFC RFC: Singleton types #37)
- Implement a C-friendly interface for compiler (luacode.h)
- Remove C++ features from lua.h (removed default arguments from luau_load and lua_pushcfunction)
- Fix lua_breakpoint behavior when enabled=false
- Implement coroutine.close (RFC RFC: coroutine.close #88)
Note, this introduces small breaking changes in lua.h:
- luau_load env argument is now required, pass an extra 0
- lua_pushcfunction now must be called with 3 arguments; if you were calling it with 2 arguments, pass an extra NULL; if you were calling it with 4, use lua_pushcclosure.
These changes are necessary to make sure lua.h can be used from pure C - the future release will make it possible by adding an option to luaconf.h to change function name mangling to be C-compatible. We don't anticipate breaking the FFI interface in the future, but this change was necessary to restore C compatibility.
Closes#121Fixes#213
