This adds support for dotted identifiers in include statements, var
expressions and function call expressions. The dotted identifiers are
used to refer to classes, bind statements, and function definitions
(respectively) that are included in the scope by import statements.
It turns out that some planned additions to the parser make it so that
the map type definition can be ambiguous. As a result, this patch
updates the definition so that the map definition is not confused with
an open curly bracket anywhere.
Thanks to pestle and stbenjamin for their help understanding yacc!
This adds support for the class definition statement and the include
statement which produces the output from the corresponding class.
The classes in this language support optional input parameters.
In contrast with other tools, the class is *not* a singleton, although
it can be used as one. Using include with equivalent input parameters
will cause the class to act as a singleton, although it can also be used
to produce distinct output.
The output produced by including a class is actually a list of
statements (a prog) which is ultimately a list of resources and edges.
This is different from functions which produces values.
Turns out we can actually cause the parser to error instead of needing
to panic. It definitely seems to work, and is better than the panic. The
only awkward thing is how this plumbing works in yacc world. If anyone
knows why this is wrong, please let me know. Reading the generated code
seems to imply that this is correct.
This allows golang tests to be marked as root or !root using build tags.
The matching tests are then run as expected using our test runner.
This also disables test caching which is unfriendly to repeated test
running and is an absurd golang default to add.
Lastly this hooks up the testing verbose flag to tests that accept a
debug variable.
These tests aren't enabled on travis yet because of how it installs
golang.
This adds the ability to specify internal, resource specific edges, with
and without notifications. We use the special words: "Notify", "Before",
"Listen", and "Depend". They must have the first character capitalized.
They also support the "elvis" operator.
This allows you to omit a resource parameter programmatically, and
avoids the need of an `undef` or `nil` in our language, which would
contribute to programming errors, crashes, and overall reduced safety.
This is an initial implementation of the mgmt language. It is a
declarative (immutable) functional, reactive, domain specific
programming language. It is intended to be a language that is:
* safe
* powerful
* easy to reason about
With these properties, we hope this language, and the mgmt engine will
allow you to model the real-time systems that you'd like to automate.
This also includes a number of other associated changes. Sorry for the
large size of this patch.
