This PR removes the LCNF testing framework. Unfortunately it never got
used much and porting it to
the extended LCNF structure now would be a bit of effort that would
ultimately be in vain.
This PR splits up the SCC that the compiler manages into (potentially)
multiple ones after
performing lambda lifting. This aids both the closed term extractor and
the elimDeadBranches pass as
they are both negatively influenced when more declarations than required
are within one SCC.
This PR implements zero cost `BaseIO` by erasing the `IO.RealWorld`
parameter from argument lists and structures. This is a **major breaking
change for FFI**.
Concretely:
- `BaseIO` is defined in terms of `ST IO.RealWorld`
- `EIO` (and thus `IO`) is defined in terms of `EST IO.RealWorld`
- The opaque `Void` type is introduced and the trivial structure
optimization updated to account for it. Furthermore, arguments of type
`Void s` are removed from the argument lists of the C functions.
- `ST` is redefined as `Void s -> ST.Out s a` where `ST.Out` is a pair
of `Void s` and `a`
This together has the following major effects on our generated code:
- Functions that return `BaseIO`/`ST`/`EIO`/`IO`/`EST` now do not take
the dummy world parameter anymore. To account for this FFI code needs to
delete the dummy world parameter from the argument lists.
- Functions that return `BaseIO`/`ST` now return their wrapped value
directly. In particular `BaseIO UInt32` now returns a `uint32_t` instead
of a `lean_object*`. To account for this FFI code might have to change
the return type and does not need to call `lean_io_result_mk_ok` anymore
but can instead just `return` values right away (same with extracting
values from `BaseIO` computations.
- Functions that return `EIO`/`IO`/`EST` now only return the equivalent
of an `Except` node which reduces the allocation size. The
`lean_io_result_mk_ok`/`lean_io_result_mk_error` functions were updated
to account for this already so no change is required.
Besides improving performance by dropping allocation (sizes) we can now
also do fun new things such as:
```lean
@[extern "malloc"]
opaque malloc (size : USize) : BaseIO USize
```
