ArkScript v3.0.11

Change Log

3.0.11

Added

• member function resolve(Args&& args...) to Value, callable by plugins to resolve the value of a function called with specific arguments given by the plugin
• (fill qu value) create a list of qu values
• (setListAt list at new-value) modify a list in place and return the new list value
• adding UTF-8 support in programs (experimental)
• more benchmarks
• on error, the VM now display the value of each variable in the current scope
• added thirdparty/madureira/String, to replace std::string in Ark::internal::Value which was heavy and slower than the new implementation
• minimizing the size of the usertype

Changed

• UserType does not need to be given a manually defined type id but relies on typeid(T)
• performance boost of the VM by using pointers to avoid unecessary copies
• renaming isNaN to NaN?, isInf to Inf? for uniformisation (see empty?, nil?)
• renaming CLI feature options:
  • -ffunction-arity-check becomes -ffac, same for the -fno- version
  • -fauthorize-invalid-token-after-paren becomes -faitap, some for the -fno- version
• improving compiler performances by using const ref when passing nodes around
• renaming the FFI "builtins" because it's not a FFI but a set of functions using the VM API
• the VM should display a backtrace even if an unknown error occured
• transforming inline code from the vm into not inline code when possible to speed compilation, using macros instead of inline functions
• smaller value class
• smaller vm frames
• forked madureira/String and modified it for the needs of the project, added it as a submodule
• removed the VM pointer from the value class to make it lighter, now the VM is sending a pointer of itself to the C procedures
• removed const and type from value, now using a uint8_t to store those informations

Removed

• removed NFT from the internal API to rely only on the value type
