2021-11-20Feature: self hosting prototype implementedNicholas Noll
This is a large change. In order to remove myself from libc's arcane interface, I implemented an independent runtime layer. It is based on musl's wonderful implementation mostly. Critically, if libc is linked to the program, then we cooperate. Namely, we call start main and let libc do all initialization. If not, then we have a noop defined in rt3.a. The general structure of the file is: 1. sys/$os/$arch contains all architecture dependent code 2. sys/$os/port contains all code that depends on the os, but is portable 3. rt/$arch contains all the runtime architecture dependent code 4. rt/* contains the portable runtime code. Obviously testing is needed. Specifically, while code is checked in for the most popular architectures, it only has been tested on one computer! Overall this is exciting and as been educational.

Heredocs are simply strings written to tmp files. There was minimal bug testing here. Also, various bug fixes are included

However, it is not tested in the slightest.

2021-11-15Feat: prototype of self-hosted libraryNicholas
This is very much a work in progress. Still ruminating on the structure of the library. It feels right but I want a more "social" presence - namely the ability to link to a libc seemlessly. The solution is most likely weak aliasing that musl uses - but musl itself weak aliases global symbols, e.g malloc. We would have to define weak internal symbols that musl defines as strong links but this knows too much about the internals of musl...
2021-11-15Feat: added if/else branching and switch statementNicholas
Unsure about my modification to the language. I found the parsing of the case body within switches to be odd - specifically that it parses liberally and then checks that it has case -> cmd structuring while it walks the code. This means the language is more permissive than the semantics. I modified it to be more explicit, but at the cost of having to end each case statement with a semicolon. I wanted a colon, but this is a valid word character and thus will be lexed as part of the word.

2021-11-04Feat: input readline now unicode awareNicholas Noll
Updated our assumptions of readline to handle valid unicode input. This required integrating with an explicit library to handle unicode knowledge.

2021-10-29Prototype of unicode readline supportNicholas Noll
The readline functionality operated on the assumption that 1 byte = 1 character. This is obviously wrong if you input a non-ascii character. This commit temporarily removes a lot of functionality but parses input bytes in a unicode-aware manner. The outstanding problem now is 1 unicode rune != 1 column. There are double wide characters, as well as zero width runes, that further break our assumption that 1 rune = 1 character = 1 column. This is the next iteration.
2021-10-29Exposed some unicode values to library users.Nicholas Noll
I was hiding too many important constants. This commit moves them to the main exported header.
2021-10-28Feat(libunicode): cleaned up decode/encodeNicholas Noll
Additionally, decode can now apply backwards on a byte string.
2021-10-26fix(unicode): renamed functions to be easier to understand their functionsNicholas Noll
2021-10-26Feat(libunicode): Added an explicit unicode libraryNicholas Noll
Refactored code to pull out utf8 functions from base into a standalone library. Also left the required function inside arg.c so that code that calls ARG_BEGIN doesn't have to link to libunicode.

2021-10-26feat(rc): keywords now recognized. for and while loopNicholas Noll
Prototypes for loops sketched. This required recognizing keywords and returning from yylex. Debugging/testing will be required.
