* Run clang-format
* Contains a preliminary implementation of deferred constraint resolution
* Reduce stack usage by some recursive functions
* Fix a bug when smartCloning a BoundTypeVar
* Remove some GC related flags from VM
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.
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!
- 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
- A series of major optimizations to type checking performance on complex
programs/types (up to two orders of magnitude speedup for programs
involving huge tagged unions)
- Fix a few issues encountered by UBSAN (and maybe fix s390x builds)
- Fix gcc-11 test builds
- Fix a rare corner case where luau_load wouldn't wake inactive threads
which could result in a use-after-free due to GC
- Fix CLI crash when error object that's not a string escapes to top level
- Fix Makefile suffixes on macOS
