Now that pipe is a structmap and structmaps are considered indistinguishable to
normal maps, IO redirection should support arbitrary maps too.
Update the relevant section in the language spec and rewrite it a bit.
Struct map is a mechanism to let Go code expose simple structs to Elvish code.
The difference between struct maps and maps is convenience for Go code; they
also have different performance characteristics, but since struct maps are
always quite small, the difference is not meaningful for Elvish's use cases.
As a result, there is no good reason that Elvish code needs to be aware of the
difference between struct maps and normal maps. Making them indistinguishable to
Elvish code simplifies the language.
This commit does the following:
- Change Equal, Hash, Kind and Repr to treat struct maps like maps.
- Change Assoc and Dissoc to "promote" struct maps to maps.
- Remove the custom Repr method of parse.Source.
- Update documentation to reflect this change.
Previously Go's == was used to test for equality when the container is not a
map, which is more strict when Elvish's normal equality test. For example,
"has-value [[foo]] [foo]" used to output false, rather than the expected true.
This fixes#1668, because the crashing listbox rendering code uses "len(line) >
0" (where line is a ui.Text) to test whether it is non-empty. This test doesn't
work with the ui.Text constructed using "styled ''", which creates a ui.Text
with one empty segment.
The functions from the ui package are guaranteed to never return such ui.Text
instances, so switching the implementation of the styled builtin to functions
from the ui package fixes this.
* Correct slice indexing convention in code comment
A colon is not supported.
* Add more key slices tests
* Unify `has-key` tests with those from `pkg/eval/vals/has_key_test.go`
* Fix key slice format in documentation
Fixes#1646.
* Fix missing bracket
* Fix indexing
* Add more key slices `has-key` tests
* Fix `has-key` test expected value
For example, [`put`]() links to the elvdoc for "put".
Also remove the @cf macro now that implicit targets make it easier to link to
other elvdoc sections.
For example, a link to language.html#number is converted to point to
https://elv.sh/ref/language.html#number instead. Such links are quite common in
elvdocs.
Also convert all link destinations that use ./language.html to use language.html
instead, and add a check in tools/check-disallowed.sh to ensure that remains the
case.
