new evaluator, y'all
* libguile/eval.c: So, ladies & gents, a new evaluator. It's similar to the old one, in that we memoize and then evaluate, but in this incarnation, memoization of an expression happens before evaluation, not lazily as the expression is evaluated. This makes the evaluation itself much cleaner, in addition to being threadsafe. In addition, since this C evaluator will in the future just serve to bootstrap the Scheme evaluator, we don't have to pay much concern for debugging conveniences. So the environment is just a list of values, and the memoizer pre-computes where it's going to find each individual value in the environment. Interface changes are commented below, with eval.h. (scm_evaluator_traps): No need to reset the debug mode after rnning te traps thing. But really, the whole traps system needs some love. * libguile/memoize.h: * libguile/memoize.c: New memoizer, which runs before evaluation, checking all syntax before evaluation begins. Significantly, no debugging information is left for lexical variables, which is not so great for interactive debugging; perhaps we should change this to have a var list in the future as per the classic interpreters. But it's quite fast, and the resulting code is quite good. Also note that it doesn't produce ilocs, memoized code is a smob whose type is in the first word of the smob itself. * libguile/eval.h (scm_sym_and, scm_sym_begin, scm_sym_case) (scm_sym_cond, scm_sym_define, scm_sym_do, scm_sym_if, scm_sym_lambda) (scm_sym_let, scm_sym_letstar, scm_sym_letrec, scm_sym_quote) (scm_sym_quasiquote, scm_sym_unquote, scm_sym_uq_splicing, scm_sym_at) (scm_sym_atat, scm_sym_atapply, scm_sym_atcall_cc) (scm_sym_at_call_with_values, scm_sym_delay, scm_sym_eval_when) (scm_sym_arrow, scm_sym_else, scm_sym_apply, scm_sym_set_x) (scm_sym_args): Remove public declaration of these symbols. (scm_ilookup, scm_lookupcar, scm_eval_car, scm_eval_body) (scm_eval_args, scm_i_eval_x, scm_i_eval): Remove public declaration of these functions. (scm_ceval, scm_deval, scm_ceval_ptr): Remove declarations of these deprecated functions. (scm_i_print_iloc, scm_i_print_isym, scm_i_unmemocopy_expr) (scm_i_unmemocopy_body): Remove declarations of these internal functions. (scm_primitive_eval_x, scm_eval_x): Redefine as macros for their less destructive siblings. * libguile/Makefile.am: Add memoize.[ch] to the build. * libguile/debug.h (scm_debug_mode_p, scm_check_entry_p) (scm_check_apply_p, scm_check_exit_p, scm_check_memoize_p) (scm_debug_eframe_size): Remove these vars that were tied to the old evaluator's execution model. (SCM_RESET_DEBUG_MODE): Remove, no more need for this. (SCM_MEMOIZEDP, SCM_MEMOIZED_EXP, SCM_MEMOIZED_ENV): Remove macros referring to old memoized code representation. (scm_local_eval, scm_procedure_environment, scm_memoized_environment) (scm_make_memoized, scm_memoized_p): Remove functions operating on old memoized code representation. (scm_memcons, scm_mem_to_proc, scm_proc_to_mem): Remove debug-only code for old evaluator. * libguile/debug.c: Remove code to correspond with debug.h removals. (scm_debug_options): No need to set the debug mode or frame limit here, as we don't have C stack limits any more. Perhaps this is a bug, but as long as we can compile eval.scm, we should be fine. * libguile/init.c (scm_i_init_guile): Init memoize.c. * libguile/modules.c (scm_top_level_env, scm_env_top_level) (scm_env_module, scm_system_module_env_p): Remove these functions. * libguile/print.c (iprin1): No more need to handle isyms. Adapt to new form of interpreted procedures. * libguile/procprop.c (scm_i_procedure_arity): Adapt to new form of interpreted procedures. * libguile/procs.c (scm_thunk_p): Adapt to new form of interpreted procedures. * libguile/procs.h (SCM_CLOSURE_FORMALS): Removed, this exists no more. (SCM_CLOSURE_NUM_REQUIRED_ARGS, SCM_CLOSURE_HAS_REST_ARGS): New accessors. * libguile/srcprop.c (scm_source_properties, scm_source_property) (scm_set_source_property_x): Remove special cases for memoized code. * libguile/stacks.c (read_frame): Remove a source-property case for interpreted code. (NEXT_FRAME): Remove a case that I don't fully understand, that seems to be designed to skip over apply frames. Will be obsolete in the futures. (read_frames): Default source value for interpreted frames to #f. (narrow_stack): Don't pay attention to the system_module thing. * libguile/tags.h: Remove isyms and ilocs. Whee! * libguile/validate.h (SCM_VALIDATE_MEMOIZED): Fix to use the new MEMOIZED_P formulation. * module/ice-9/psyntax-pp.scm (do, quasiquote, case): Adapt for these no longer being primitive macros. * module/ice-9/boot-9.scm: Whitespace change, but just a poke to force a rebuild due to and/or/cond/... not being primitives any more. * module/ice-9/deprecated.scm (unmemoize-expr): Deprecate, it's unmemoize-expression now. * test-suite/tests/eval.test ("define set procedure-name"): XFAIL a couple of tests here; I don't know what to do about them. I reckon the expander should ensure that defined values are named. * test-suite/tests/chars.test ("basic char handling"): Fix expected exception when trying to apply a char.
