A year ago I submitted a change to replace AnyError with tests for specific
errors (see https://github.com/elves/elvish/commit/87656c99). This does
something similar for DoesNotCompile. This ensures the test does what
is implied and makes correlating specific unit tests with compilation
errors easier.
This includes a couple of changes to compilation error messages to improve
readability (IMHO) but those are not the primary purpose of this change.

* Require at least one of "except" or "finally" to be present. This fixes#1424.
* Rename "except" to "catch". The former will be deprecated from 0.18.0. This
addresses #1497.
I was surprised to see so many legacy lambda syntax examples in the
documentation. This replaces all of them with the new syntax -- excluding
the handful of cases meant to explicitly verify the legacy form is still
valid. This also adds a link to the issue in the release notes which
documents the change in syntax.
Related #664
This has always been the documented behavior, but up until this point, "set"
actually behaved like the legacy assignment form, which creates the variable if
it doesn't exist yet.
This fixes the discrepancy. Addresses #645.
- Move from pkg/eval/mods to pkg/mods
- Introduce mods.AddTo that adds all standard library modules
- Move epm and readline-binding into their own packages
This change addresses issues reported by the `staticcheck` tool and a
couple reported by the `golint` tool. It also adds missing issue links
to a couple of entries in the release notes. This change deliberately
does not address these warnings since it is unclear whether the project
owner would prefer to suppress or address them:
pkg/store/cmd.go:8:2: should not use dot imports (ST1001)
pkg/store/db_store.go:10:2: should not use dot imports (ST1001)
pkg/store/dir.go:8:2: should not use dot imports (ST1001)
Also replace (*Frame).OutputChan with (*Frame).ValueOutput, which returns a
small interface for writing to the value output that is also aware when the
reader is gone.
Using a read-only variable as the target of an `except` clause should
highlight just the var name rather than the entire `try...except...`
statement.
Resolves#1258
The implementation of useOp has not been updated correctly to accomodate the
fact that the namespaces are no longer modified in place.
This fixes#1212.
This commit replaces scopeOp, the only remaining place that mutates *Ns in
place, with nsOp, which performs copy-on-write for *Ns.
As a result, the "eval" command no longer mutates the passed namespace. The
default namespace it uses is also changed to match the default of "-source" (an
amalgamated namespace from the local and upvalue scopes), making "-source $file"
equivalent to "eval (slurp <$file)", and formally deprecated.
Another result is that (*Evaler).Eval can now guard the mutation of the global
namespace with the mutex, making it concurrency-safe to execute multiple sources
that touch the global namespace.
This fixes#1137.
Also change the variable name used to keep the Exception returned from "err" to
"exc".
This uncovers several error scenarios that were not returning Exception, and
would result in the absense of stack traces when such errors occur.
This change is a preparation step for refining all *Op types to return Exception
as the error.
Keeping Exception as a struct type will make such a change error-prone, since
a (*Exception)(nil) != error(nil), so if an *Op returns a nil *Exception, it
is not nil if the return value is stored in an error-typed variable.
- Make Evaler mostly thread-safe. The only remaining thread-unsafe part is the
modules field, which is more tricky than other fields.
- Remove the state and evalerScopes type, and move their fields into Evaler.
- Expose valuePrefix via a get method, and change PortsFromFiles to take the
prefix instead of a *Evaler. Also expose a PortsFromStdFiles.
- Make Evaler a normal field of Frame, instead of an embedded field. This makes
access to global states more explicit.
- Remove the Op type; it is no longer used by any code outside the eval package
and its use within the package is limited.
- Replace (*Evaler).execOp with (*Evaler).prepareFrame.
