This PR introduces a function `String.split` which is based on
`String.Slice.split` and therefore supports all pattern types and
returns a `Std.Iter String.Slice`.
This supersedes the functions `String.splitOn` and `String.splitToList`,
and we remove all all uses of these functions from core. They will be
deprecated in a future PR.
Migrating from `String.splitOn` and `String.splitToList` is easy: we
introduce functions `Iter.toStringList` and `Iter.toStringArray` that
can be used to conveniently go from `Std.Iter String.Slice` to `List
String` and `Array String`, so for example `s.splitOn "foo"` can be
replaced by `s.split "foo" |>.toStringList`.
This PR redefines `String.take` and variants to operate on
`String.Slice`. While previously functions returning a substring of the
input sometimes returned `String` and sometimes returned
`Substring.Raw`, they now uniformly return `String.Slice`.
This is a BREAKING change, because many functions now have a different
return type. So for example, if `s` is a string and `f` is a function
accepting a string, `f (s.drop 1)` will no longer compile because
`s.drop 1` is a `String.Slice`. To fix this, insert a call to `copy` to
restore the old behavior: `f (s.drop 1).copy`.
Of course, in many cases, there will be more efficient options. For
example, don't write `f <| s.drop 1 |>.copy |>.dropEnd 1 |>.copy`, write
`f <| s.drop 1 |>.dropEnd 1 |>.copy` instead. Also, instead of `(s.drop
1).copy = "Hello"`, write `s.drop 1 == "Hello".toSlice` instead.
This PR renames `String.endPos` to `String.rawEndPos`, as in a future
release the name `String.endPos` will be taken by the function that is
currently called `String.endValidPos`.
This PR moves many operations involving `String.Pos.Raw` to a the
`String.Pos.Raw` namespace with the eventual aim of freeing up the
`String` namespace to contain operations using `String.ValidPos` (to be
renamed to `String.Pos`) instead.
This PR adds the `String.ValidPos.set` and `String.ValidPos.modify`
functions.
After this PR, `String.pos_lt_eq` is no longer a `simp` lemma. Add
`String.Pos.Raw.lt_iff` as a `simp` lemma if your proofs break.
This PR renames `String.split` to `String.splitToList`, because soon the
name `String.split` will be used by a new implementation which is
superior because it is polymorphic over the pattern kind and it returns
an iterator of slices instead of a list of strings.
This PR resolves a potential bad interaction between the compiler and
the module system where references to declarations not imported are
brought into scope by inlining or specializing. We now proactively check
that declarations to be inlined/specialized only reference public
imports. The intention is to later resolve this limitation by moving out
compilation into a separate build step with its own import/incremental
system.
This PR refines and clarifies the `meta` phase distinction in the module
system.
* `meta import A` without `public` now has the clarified meaning of
"enable compile-time evaluation of declarations in or above `A` in the
current module, but not downstream". This is now checked statically by
enforcing that public meta defs, which therefore may be referenced from
outside, can only use public meta imports, and that global evaluating
attributes such as `@[term_parser]` can only be applied to public meta
defs.
* `meta def`s may no longer reference non-meta defs even when in the
same module. This clarifies the meta distinction as well as improves
locality of (new) error messages.
* parser references in `syntax` are now also properly tracked as meta
references.
* A `meta import` of an `import` now properly loads only the `.ir` of
the nested module for the purposes of execution instead of also making
its declarations available for general elaboration.
* `initialize` is now no longer being run on import under the module
system, which is now covered by `meta initialize`.
This PR makes the builtin Verso docstring elaborators bootstrap
correctly, adds the ability to postpone checks (which is necessary for
resolving forward references and bootstrapping issues), and fixes a
minor parser bug.
