Rename memory instructions; Rework constant handling (#177)
* Rename memory instructions as proposed by the bulk-memory-operations spec.
* Rename memory manager functions to memory.* as well
* Remove automatic inlining of constant globals (Binaryen does this now)
* Improve 'const' enum compatibility
* Improve module-level export generation
* Enable the inline decorator for constant variables
* Add ERROR, WARNING and INFO macros that emit a user-defined diagnostic
* Reintroduce builtin decorator so these can appear anywhere in stdlib again
* Inline isNaN and isFinite by default
* Make an interface around gc.* similar to memory.*
* Emit an error when trying to inline a mutable variable
* Slim down CI stages
* Add a more convenient tracing utility for debugging
* Implement some prequesites for an eventual bundled GC

Tests

This directory contains the test cases for AssemblyScript's parser and compiler. A test case consists of:

  • A test file that is parsed or compiled (.ts)
  • One or multiple automatically generated fixtures generated from the source file

Creating a test:

  • Run npm run clean to make sure that the sources are tested instead of the distribution
  • Create a new test file (.ts) within the respective directory (see below) that contains your test code
  • Follow the instructions below to generate the first fixture(s)
  • Make sure the fixture(s) contain exactly what you'd expect

Updating a test:

  • Run npm run clean to make sure that the sources are tested instead of the distribution
  • Make changes to the respective test file (.ts)
  • Follow the instructions below to update the fixture(s)
  • Make sure the fixture(s) contain exactly what you'd expect

Parser

Directory: tests/parser

The test file is parsed while warnings and errors are recorded and re-serialized to a new source afterwards. The new source with warnings and errors appended as comments is compared to the fixture.

Running all tests:

$> npm run test:parser

Running a specific test only:

$> npm run test:parser -- testNameWithoutTs

To (re-)create all fixtures:

$>npm run test:parser -- --create

To (re-)create a specific fixture only:

$> npm run test:parser -- testNameWithoutTs --create

Compiler

General directory: tests/compiler
Standard library directory: tests/compiler/std

The source file is parsed and compiled to a module, validated and the resulting module converted to WebAsssembly text format.

The text format output is compared to its fixture and the module interpreted in a WebAssembly VM. To assert for runtime conditions, the assert builtin can be used. Note that tree-shaking is enabled and it might be necessary to export entry points.

Additional fixtures for the optimized module etc. are generated as well but are used for visual confirmation only.

Running all tests:

$> npm run test:compiler

Running a specific test only:

$> npm run test:compiler -- testNameWithoutTs

To (re-)create all fixtures:

$> npm run test:compiler -- --create

To (re-)create a specific fixture only:

$> npm run test:compiler -- testNameWithoutTs --create

Other

Tests in other directories are not run automatically and do not need to be updated.
