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.
