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 fixes some details in the Markdown renderings of Verso
docstrings, and adds tests to keep them correct. Also adds tests for
Verso docstring metadata.
This PR removes all uses of `String.Iterator` from core, preferring
`String.ValidPos` instead.
In an upcoming PR, `String.Iterator` will be renamed to
`String.Legacy.Iterator`.
This PR defines `String.Slice.replace` and redefines `String.replace` to
use the `Slice` version.
The new implementation is generic in the pattern, so it supports things
like `"education".replace isVowel "☃!" = "☃!d☃!c☃!t☃!☃!n"`. Since it
uses the `ForwardSearcher` infrastructure, `String` patterns are
searched using KMP, unlike the previous implementation which had
quadratic runtime. As a side effect, the behavior when replacing an
empty string now matches that of most other programming languages,
namely `"abc".replace "" "k" = "kakbkck"`.
This PR splits some low-hanging fruit out of `Init.Data.String.Basic`:
basic material about `String.Pos.Raw`, `String.Substrig`, and
`String.Iterator`.
More splitting required and the remaining material is quite unorganized,
but it's a start.
This PR implements module docstrings in Verso syntax, as well as adding
a number of improvements and fixes to Verso docstrings in general. In
particular, they now have language server support and are parsed at
parse time rather than elaboration time, so the snapshot's syntax tree
includes the parsed documentation.
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.
This PR upstreams the Verso parser and adds preliminary support for
Verso in docstrings. This will allow the compiler to check examples and
cross-references in documentation.
After a `stage0` update, a follow-up PR will add the appropriate
attributes that allow the feature to be used. The parser tests from
Verso also remain to be upstreamed, and user-facing documentation will
be added once the feature has been used on more internals.
