unreleased

0.4.3 - 2024-11-11

Changed

• Set the minimum checked_oint version requirement to 0.3.0.

0.4.2 - 2024-10-19

Changed

• Do not extract operands from calls to primitive operations like + (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/24).

0.4.1 - 2024-10-18

Fixed

• Set the minimum menhir version requirement to 20180905.

0.4.0 - 2024-10-17

Changed

• Preserve the order of built-in panics in residual programs (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/23).

  • Algebraic simplification now requires operands to be either variables or constants, not compound values.

• Eliminate let-bindings for "innocent terms" via postprocessing.

  • Innocent terms are variables, integer constants, and zero-arity constructor calls.
• Set the minimum supported OCaml version to 4.14.0.
• Set the minimum checked_oint version requirement to 0.2.1.

Removed

• The function Const.escape_char is no longer public [BC].

0.3.4 - 2024-10-12

Changed

• Reuse predefined thunks for variables standing as constructor arguments.

  • This improves output code size and compilation times when C code generation is used.

0.3.3 - 2024-10-03

Fixed

• Tweak the dependencies in dune-project after trying to publish the package.

0.3.2 - 2024-10-02

Added

• Expose the Gensym module in the public API (previously private).

0.3.1 - 2024-09-23

Added

• The Mazeppa-to-C translator (with GNU11 extensions) via the new translate CLI command (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/1).
• The translate_to_c and mazeppa_h API functions.

0.3.0 - 2024-08-16

Added

• The --print-gc-stats flag for run and eval to observe total memory usage.
• Expose the check function in the public API.

Changed

• Optimize homeomorphic embedding by maintaining a local result cache (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/20).

• Other homeomorphic embedding performance tweaks (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/17).

  • In particular, utilize Weak hash consing while building function bodies.
• Rename the functions 1) Symbol.kind to op_kind, 2) Symbol.is_lazy to is_lazy_op for clarity [BC].
• Hide the middles of long reduction paths with (N more...) (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/21).

Fixed

• Evaluation of built-in panics raising an exception (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/22).

Removed

• The function Raw_term.is_immediate is no longer public [BC].

0.2.0 - 2024-08-03

Added

• Propagate positive information for inequality (!=) tests (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/7).

• More simplification rules:

  • op(op(t)) -> op(t), where op is one of u8, u16, u32, u64, u128, i8, i16, i32, i64, i128, string.
  • /(0, t) -> 0
  • |(t, all ones), |(all ones, t) -> all ones
  • &(t, all ones), &(all ones, t) -> t
• Add the check command to the CLI for checking program well-formedness (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/18).
• Expose the Symbol.list function in the public API.

Changed

• Only whistle on terms with equal redex signatures (issues https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/9, https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/11).
• Only whistle on equal integers (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/12).
• Rebuild as less terms as possible when substituting contractions (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/14).
• Optimize homeomorphic embedding by storing term sizes (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/17).

Fixed

• Internal compiler errors when analyzing T/F-patterns during driving. Instead, show proper error messages (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/6).
• Incorrect exception backtraces (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/8).
• Require constructors to be used consistently [BC] (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/10).

0.1.2 - 2024-07-20

Added

• Function productivity analysis for preventing unneeded specializations (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/2).
• pattern_to_string and pattern_verbatim (Raw_term).

Changed

• Simplify horizontal configuration analysis by only checking for renamings instead of matching arbitrary safe instances.
• Do not emit 1) linear let-bindings for redexes, 2) unused let-bindings for immediate terms.

0.1.1 - 2024-07-15

Added

• mazeppa eval: A built-in evaluator for the Mazeppa language (issue https://github.com/mazeppa-dev/mazeppa/issues/5).
• Expose the Const module in the public API.

Changed

• The following simplification rules have been upgraded to handle arbitrary values instead of variables:

  • *(x, 0), *(0, x) -> 0
  • &(x, 0), &(0, x) -> 0
  • %(x, 1) -> 0
  • /(x, 0), %(x, 0) -> out of range
  • |(x, x), &(x, x) -> x
  • =(x, x), >=(x, x), <=(x, x) -> T()
  • !=(x, x), >(x, x), <(x, x) -> F()

0.1.0 - 2024-07-11

Added

• The Mazeppa supercompiler.
