Change Log

Version 0.1.0

Added

• --compileOnly flag which compiles to a binary, but does not execute the result
• Primitive class implementation
• Delete instruction to consume values
• Class destructors
• Class clone operations
• String class
• No longer need a return statement on a void function
• Bitwise cast (for core development only)
• Elif statement
• Fixed inverted signedness issues on integer comparison
• Escaped string characters
• Constant Function Arguments

Fixes

• Bug with nested structure access
• Composition of stats where value is undefined in all
• Consumption of single continuous state (when one branch of an if returns)
• Fixed not detecting deconstruction of values within if-statements
• Ability to override function in file
• Allowing multiple definitions of structure term

Changes

• The uvc command now executes the result by default.
• No longer need a return statement for void functions

Tweaks

• Tweaked the automated testing to reflect the new argument changes
• Compiler skips merging changes between a branch if the value has not been updated in either branch

Version 0.0.2

Added

• Ability to lend primitive values
• Can now use external structures within uniview code

Fixes

• Fixed being unable to use structure access chaining a.b.c
• Fixed unix segfault not being picked up as a failed execution

Tweaks

• Primitive numbers are 64bit by default.
• Compiler now generates all IR in fragments before joining (will assist with template implementation).
• Changed sizeof function to being a compiled default non-inlined function.
• Changed primitive function name static_cast to cast.
• Probabilities are now used to represent loading structure values (GEPs) to remove irrelevant code and clean up the compiler code base.

Version 0.0.1

Added

• Able to create a clone of any linear value
• Able to parse any linear variable forward to a function call and reasign the modified result
• Compiler parameter for llvm optimisation sweeps
• Cloning of linear variables
• Lending a reference forward to child functions (linear variables only)
• Borrow checker ensuring child function doesn't corrupt the reference
• Ability to include external files to the LLVM build pass
• Ability to assume more complex external filenames
• Basic math library
• f64 printing
• Verify only compilation mode
• Expression chaining (1 + 2 + 3)
• Opperator Precedence
• Experimental Time Library

Fixes

• Not parsing structures properly on return
• Printing error buffer twice on clang compilation failure
• Crash when using undefined type in template
• Returning within if-statement causing that branch's instructions to not be saved
• Composing structures with structure elements
• Frash during scope cleanup due to bad code reference
• Using undefined variables within expressions causing crash
• Fixed crash with unhandled call return values
• Crash when structures are defined after accessing attribute within IR

Tweaks

• Decomposed structure elements now have the correct internal names for error messages
• Compile errors now use path relative to root file (shorter printing)

Version 0.0.0

---

Added

• Assign and return numbers
• Use primitive variable inputs
• Basic operands with primitive types
• Primitive types using non-linear type system for easier use
• Basic automatic test suite
• Typecasting of primitive types
• Implemented if statements
• Clearer Error logs. Embeds code snippet with line ref
• Strucutre manipulation support
• Declaration type can be derived from assignment

Changes

• Now uses colon notation for types

Fixes

• Fixed strings requiring pointer types

Tweaks

• Internal representation of LLVM-IR now allows for latent code branches (sections of code which can be enabled after initial compilation)
• Now executes clang compilation synchonously for cleaner outputs
• Won't execute the output if clang compilation fails
