Compiler and command-line error messages now reflect their Python counterparts.
E.g. where Python emits a `SyntaxError`, so does Hy; same for `TypeError`s.
Multiple tests have been added that check the format and type of raised
exceptions over varying command-line invocations (e.g. interactive and not).
A new exception type for `require` errors was added so that they can be treated
like normal run-time errors and not compiler errors.
The Hy REPL has been further refactored to better match the class-structured
API. Now, different error types are handled separately and leverage more base
class-provided functionality.
Closeshylang/hy#1486.
This commit refactors the exception/error classes and their handling.
It also retains Hy source strings and their originating file information, when
available, all throughout the core parser and compiler functions.
As well, with these changes, calling code is no longer responsible for providing
source and file details to exceptions,
Closeshylang/hy#657.
Previously, when importing `hy` (and any of its sub-packages/modules), Hy source
compilation for `hy.core.language` was necessarily triggered. This, in turn,
would trigger compilation of the other standard library source files.
This commit removes that chain of events and allows the `hy` package to be
imported without any Hy compilation.
Furthermore, `read` and `read_str` are now implemented in Python and the Hy
standard library files now handle their own dependencies explicitly (i.e. they
`import` and/or `require` the other standard library files upon which they
depend).
The latter changes were necessary, because the automatically triggered
compilation of `hy.core.language` (and associated standard library files) was
serving--implicitly--as a means of producing bytecode in an order that just
happened to work for any compilation occurring afterward. This chain of
events/dependencies was extremely cryptic, brittle, and difficult to debug, and
these changes should help to remedy that.
Closeshylang/hy#1697.
Functions and variables relating to compilation and parsing have been moved to
`compiler.py` and `lex/__init__.py`, respectively. Those functions are
- `hy_parse` from `hy.importer` to `hy.lex`
- `hy_eval`, `ast_compile`, and `calling_module` from `hy.importer` to
`hy.compiler`
Closeshylang/hy#1695.
I wasn't able to observe a meaningful performance improvement from it, and it requires some file I/O. Here are the times, in seconds, I observed on my ThinkPad T450s with Python 3.6 and Ubuntu 18.04:
test 1 test 2
master 8.96 2.59
this change 8.88 2.62
Test 1 is the total time from:
$ time dash -c 'git clean -dfx && pip install -e . && pytest --ignore tests/test_bin.py'
Test 2 is pytest's reported total time from a subsequent:
$ pytest --ignore tests/test_bin.py
This means that a HySymbol remembers its original name. That is, `a-b` and `a_b` are different symbols although `(setv a-b 1)` and `(setv a_b 1)` set the same variable (namely, `a_b`).
Most of the edits in this commit are to switch underscores to hyphens in places where mangling hasn't happened yet.
I removed some lexer tests since the lexer no longer does any mangling.
Per the straw poll in #908, as an alternative to #1147.
Now you must use `True`, `False`, and `None`, as in Python. Or just assign `true` to `True`, etc.; the old synonyms aren't reserved words anymore.
apply now mangles strings and keywords according to the Hy mangling
rules (by using the same function, now imported from
hy.lex.parser). With this change, if the dict passed to apply has
keywords, strings or quoted symbols, they'll get mangled, to turn them
into proper keys.
This only works for the cases where the keys are directly in the apply
params. A previously deffed dict, or key through a variable will not be
mangled.
This closes#219.

Postfixing functions with a bang, like set!, get!, etc are relatively
common. However, those names are not valid in python, so in the name of
python interoperability, lets mangle them to set_bang and get_bang,
respectively.
Closes#536.
