Changelog for Rattus-0.4
0.4
More general typing rules for delay, functions, and guarded recursion:
- delay and function definitions may now occur under a delay.
- Guarded recursive calls may occur at any time in the future -- not only exactly one time step into the future.
- As before, adv and recursive calls may only occur directly in the scope of delay. The scope of a delay is interrupted by adv, box, guarded recursive definitions, and function definitions.
Changes in the library:
- Rename applicative-style operators to avoid clash with Haskell's <*> operator.
- Rename types: Event -> Future; Events -> Event
0.3.1
Guarded recursive types Str and Event are now fully strict (i.e. in particular, they are strict in the component that is of a later type) as they should be.
0.3
Rattus code is now checked just after GHC's type checking phase (instead of after desugaring to Core). As a consequence, error messages for some corner cases are much improved and we don't need to use the -g2 compiler option anymore to get good error messages.
0.2
- the use of lazy data structures will now cause a warning (can be disabled by 'AllowLazyData' annotation); this check for lazy data is rather ad hoc and needs to be refined
- allow functions under ticks (but with limitations, see paper)
- strictness transformation is now similar to the 'Strict' language extension
- optimisations using custom rewrite rules
0.1.1.0
