rand-nth vec'd its argument, so (rand-nth nil) hit index-out-of-bounds
through the empty vector where the reference's (nth coll (rand-int (count
coll))) returns nil (and a set throws) — the last genuinely-fixable row in
the suite baseline; rand-nth is fully clean now. Corpus/README counts
updated to the current ~3570 rows, the run-corpus regression floor raised
from 2730 to 3390 to match current parity, and the stale traceability line
dropped.
Auditing the remaining cts baseline for R7 exposed real contract gaps hiding
among the model residue — all fixed to reference behavior:
- stale no-ratio-era stubs: numerator/denominator now work over jolt's exact
rationals (non-ratio is the Ratio cast failure); rational? includes decimals
- casts and pending: peek/pop demand an IPersistentStack (pop nil is nil),
realized? demands an IPending (a plain list/range throws), transient demands
an editable COLLECTION (non-colls throw; the RFC 0003 sorted/list/seq
superset keeps the copy-on-write fallback), empty on a plain record throws
- nil and empties: (nth nil i) is nil, (nth nil i d) is d, a nil index is NPE,
keys/vals of anything empty are nil, (conj nil) is nil
- lookups: contains? on a string is index-only (other keys IAE), get on an
array is lenient (nth still throws), a VECTOR invocation has nth semantics
(([1 2] 5) throws — call position and jolt-invoke both)
- into only transients editable collections; a PersistentQueue/sorted target
folds through conj (RT's IEditableCollection split)
- numbers: number?/num accept BigDecimal, quot/rem throw on an Infinite/NaN
quotient, even?/odd? demand integers
- ordering: keywords compare namespace-first with nil first (Symbol.compareTo)
- misc: run! honors reduced, eval self-evaluates non-form values, intern
demands an existing namespace, counted? excludes strings, seqable? includes
arrays, shuffle rejects maps, sort-by rejects a collection comparator,
when-let demands one binding pair, case*/deftype*/letfn*/reify*/& are
special symbols
Two mis-certified corpus rows fixed (they threw on the JVM too and hid in the
tolerated bucket): a raw \d string escape and duplicate literal map keys.
SPEC.md gains the baseline-traceability section: every one of the 146
remaining suite failures maps to a documented divergence (integer-box,
no-single-float, RFC 0003 transients, seq/chunking model, stm-refs,
parse-uuid strictness, vec-array adoption). cts baseline 5955 -> 6042 pass,
5 errors, 30 namespaces. 9 JVM-certified corpus rows.
The reader now rejects what the JVM reader rejects: a token that starts
like a number but doesn't parse is NumberFormatException (1a, 08, 0x2g,
2r2 — never a symbol); ratio parts are digit runs (1/-1 invalid) with a
zero denominator throwing ArithmeticException; empty ns/name parts are
invalid tokens (:, ::, foo/, /foo) while /, ns//, and :/ stay valid;
duplicate map keys and set elements throw at read; unsupported string
escapes and octal escapes past \377 throw; a stray close delimiter is
'Unmatched delimiter'; \r ends line comments. #inst validates its
calendar fields progressively (leap years included) and #uuid demands
canonical hex. 1-arg symbol splits its ns at the FIRST slash
(Symbol.intern): (symbol "foo/bar/baz") is foo/"bar/baz".
clojure.edn gets its own strict seam (__read-form-edn): auto-resolved
keywords are invalid there, every #_ discarded form validates through the
same :readers/:default pipeline (an unreadable tagged element throws even
when discarded), built-in tags win over :default, M literals construct
BigDecimals, lists satisfy list?, and EOF honors :eof — an opts map
without :eof makes end-of-input an error.
clojure.edn-test.read-string goes 246 pass / 46 fail / 5 errors -> 297/0/0
(fully clean). cts baseline 5904 -> 5955 pass, 23 errors, 56 baselined
namespaces. 9 JVM-certified corpus rows; reader spec section.
The clojure.string case fns and searches now take any Object s through its
toString like the reference's ^CharSequence signatures ((upper-case :kw) is
":KW", (capitalize 1) is "1"); nil throws, and a nil substr in
starts-with?/ends-with? throws. some-fn re-ported with the reference
arities: (some-fn) is an arity error and a no-match result is the last
predicate's own falsy value (false, not nil). ifn? covers multimethods,
promises (which are now invocable — calling one delivers, via a cold-path
invoke-arm registry that costs the hot dispatch nothing), and deftypes
implementing IFn's invoke.
One structural find on the way: defmulti/defmethod deferred inside a fn
body (the deftest pattern) interned/resolved in whatever namespace was
current when they RAN, not the one they were written in — the macros now
bake their expansion ns and the setups honor it.
Also: Boolean/Integer/Double wrapper ctors, primitive TYPE statics
(Integer/TYPE etc.), .reduce on collections (IReduce), and Long/TYPE.
cts baseline 5857 -> 5904 pass, 58 -> 28 errors, 57 baselined namespaces —
the string cluster, some-fn, ifn-qmark, boolean-qmark, and reduce
namespaces are all fully clean. 7 JVM-certified corpus rows; spec entry.
byte/short/int/long/char silently wrapped or passed out-of-range values
through; the JVM range-checks (RT.byteCast family). One checked-cast
helper now carries the ranges: a double range-checks ITSELF before
truncating ((byte 1.1) is 1, (byte 127.000001) throws), NaN casts to 0,
ratios and bigdecs truncate, a non-number is CCE, and the throw carries
the JVM message. float range-checks against Float/MAX_VALUE. The
unchecked-* casts now genuinely wrap and sign-fold ((unchecked-byte 200)
is -56 — the old bit-and lost the sign) with doubles saturating like
Java's conversions; unchecked-long/int are host natives. double/float of
a bigdec convert instead of crashing. The no-single-float residue stays
accepted (SPEC.md).
Also fixes#290: a binary built by the SELF-CONTAINED joltc died with
'variable var-deref is not bound' when a namespace loaded at runtime.
The in-process build compiled flat.ss against a clean copy-environment,
which orphans every top-level define in locations the binary's runtime
eval can't see. It now compiles against the default interaction
environment (defines land in the real symbol cells, same as the legacy
fresh-Chez path) and a generated prologue pre-binds each kernel name the
runtime redefines to its kernel value, so the earliest boot reads match
the legacy path's primitive references. requiring-resolve is implemented
(the issue's dynamic-require pattern), and the release workflow smokes a
runtime require in a built binary.
Cast namespaces byte/short/int/long/char now fully clean; cts baseline
5805 -> 5857 pass, 67 baselined namespaces. 7 JVM-certified corpus rows.
add-watch/remove-watch/set-validator!/get-validator were atom-only; the
atom ctor ignored :meta and :validator; watching a var crashed. Now the
ARef contract is one seam: atoms keep their record slots (hot path
unchanged), every other reference type registers a predicate and stores
watches/validators in identity-keyed side tables, and notifies at its
mutation points. Vars notify on root changes (def on a watched var,
var-set outside a thread binding, alter-var-root — thread-binding sets
don't notify, like the JVM); agents notify per action. The def-var! wrap
costs two weak-table probes per def and does IRef work only on a watched
var.
Ctor options follow ARef: the validator gates the initial value
(IllegalStateException 'Invalid reference state' — also the class for
rejected swap!/reset!), :meta must be a map (else ClassCastException),
nil allowed. meta reads any reference through the identity side-table
(the type-gated fall-through is gone); alter-meta!/reset-meta! work on
non-var references.
Runtime-only (no re-mint). 9 JVM-certified corpus rows; spec entry; cts
baseline 5781 -> 5805 pass, 73 baselined namespaces (the residual error
in the watch namespaces is their STM ref section — refs stay out of
scope).
derive/underive/ancestors/descendants/parents/isa? re-ported from
clojure.core with the argument assertions and throw contracts intact:
derive asserts tag/parent shapes (AssertionError) and throws on redundant
or cyclic derivation; underive/derive on a non-hierarchy value throw at the
parents lookup (the map is called as a function, like the reference);
(descendants h SomeClass) throws UnsupportedOperationException. isa? gains
the reference's supers arm (a relationship derived on a class's super
applies to the class).
The class arms now answer fully through the one class graph: parents of a
class are its direct supers (bases), ancestors are the transitive set
rooted at java.lang.Object for concrete classes (interfaces are marked and
don't root at Object, matching getSuperclass semantics). deftype/defrecord
classes register into the graph at definition — protocol interfaces they
implement appear as supers (JVM-munged ns spelling), records carry the
record interfaces (IRecord/IPersistentMap/... whose closure supplies
Associative/Seqable), bare deftypes carry IType. The type NAME var still
holds the ctor (a jolt-ism); class-key maps it back to the class so
(ancestors TypeName)/(isa? x TypeName) work. canonical-host-tag learned to
NOT canonicalize deftype names through the graph arm (extend-type on a
deftype was registering under the bare segment its values never report).
Five old corpus rows used non-namespaced derive tags that throw on the JVM
too; now namespaced. 8 new JVM-certified corpus rows; spec entries for the
hierarchy family; cts baseline 5730 -> 5781 pass (ancestors/derive/
descendants/parents/underive namespaces fully clean), 74 baselined
namespaces.
Arithmetic and comparisons lowered to raw Chez ops, so an operand outside
Chez's tower (BigDecimal) crashed with a raw condition, and Chez contagion
leaked: (* 1.0 0) gave exact 0 where the JVM gives 0.0, (* ##Inf 0) gave 0
instead of ##NaN, (/ 1 0) raised an untyped error.
One seam now (host/chez/seq.ss): call position emits jolt-n* macros with the
both-Chez-numbers fast path open-coded; value position folds through the same
binary ops. Anything outside the tower falls to per-op slow hooks that
java/bigdec.ss extends, so bigdec arithmetic works in every position (the old
static-only :bigdec typing limitation is gone). JVM rules patched into the
fast path: a double operand wins, an exact zero divisor throws
ArithmeticException while a double zero divisor yields Inf/NaN, quot/rem/mod
cover ratios and doubles, min/max return the original operand with NaN
winning, a nil operand is NPE and a non-number CCE, zero-arg -// throw
ArityException at runtime instead of failing expansion.
Also: with-precision now binds *math-context* and bigdec results round with
real RoundingMode semantics (UNNECESSARY throws; division rounds to precision
instead of throwing); rationalize goes through the shortest decimal print
like BigDecimal.valueOf (the identity stub is gone); ratios coerce to bigdec
like Numbers.toBigDecimal; min/max int-literal operands no longer coerce to
flonum in the numeric pass.
Perf neutral: fib and seq benches unchanged (the fast path is two type checks
the optimizer folds); hinted fl/fx paths untouched. 19 JVM-certified corpus
rows; cts baseline 5614->5730 pass, 192->88 errors, 84->79 baselined
namespaces.
are let-bound its template vars, so a var inside quote never substituted:
(are [x] (special-symbol? 'x) if def) tested the literal symbol x twice.
Rebuild are on clojure.template/do-template (postwalk substitution), the
same architecture as upstream, with the same arg-count check.
This un-aborts every suite namespace whose are rows need substitution:
cts baseline moves 5302->5614 pass, 236->192 errors, 88->84 baselined
namespaces. The newly-reachable assertions also surface real divergences
now baselined and filed (edn reader strictness, Boolean ctor).
jank-lang/clojure-test-suite (per-core-fn clojure.test suites shared across
Clojure dialects) joins the default gate as vendor/clojure-test-suite, run by
host/chez/cts.sh: one joltc process per test namespace (a hang or crash is
contained by a per-process timeout), through the test/chez/cts-app project and
its cts-run runner, parallel workers.
Gating is exact per namespace against test/chez/cts-known-failures.txt, like
certify's allowlist: a namespace doing worse than the baseline fails, and one
doing better also fails as stale until the baseline is updated in the same
change. JOLT_CTS_WRITE_BASELINE=1 regenerates it; JOLT_CTS_NS runs a subset
verbosely.
Current standing: 243 namespaces, 5302 assertions pass, 340 fail + 236 error
across 88 namespaces pinned in the baseline (dominant clusters: BigDecimal
arithmetic operands, derive/ancestors hierarchy, transients, special-symbol?,
clojure.string case fns, the accepted narrow-int and seq-type-model
divergences). Two consecutive full runs produce identical counts. Wired into
make ci; skips cleanly when the submodule isn't checked out.
