Jolt Compiler — Clojure→Janet source compiler with data-structure emission path.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Clojure form → analyze-form [form bindings ctx] → AST {:op ...}
|
|
↓ (if head = macro var)
|
|
expand → re-analyze expanded form
|
|
↓
|
|
emit-ast (source string) or emit-expr (data structure)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Three public entry points:
|
|
- `(compile-form form &opt ctx)` → Janet source string (debug/display)
|
|
- `(compile-ast form &opt ctx)` → Janet data structure (for eval)
|
|
- `(compile-and-eval form ctx)` → compile-ast + eval
|
|
|
|
## Why data structures, not source strings
|
|
|
|
Janet's `eval` does NOT have access to `use`-imported symbols from the calling file. `(eval "(core-inc 1)")` fails with "unknown symbol core-inc". The fix: emit Janet tuples where function VALUES are embedded: `[core-inc 1]`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
core-fn-values table: "core-inc" → core-inc (the actual function)
|
|
emit-core-symbol-expr → (get core-fn-values janet-name)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Source-to-source (`compile-form` + `emit-ast`) still exists for debugging but is NOT used by `compile-and-eval`.
|
|
|
|
## Symbol classification (in analyze-form)
|
|
|
|
Order: qualified ns → local binding → core-symbol → bare symbol
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
(if (form :ns) → :qualified-symbol
|
|
(get bindings name) → :local
|
|
(get core-renames name) → :core-symbol
|
|
→ :symbol)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## core-renames vs core-fn-values
|
|
|
|
core-renames maps Clojure name strings → Janet function name strings (used by both emitter paths).
|
|
core-fn-values maps Janet function name strings → actual function values (used by data-structure emitter only).
|
|
|
|
MUST keep both in sync. When adding a new core fn, update BOTH.
|
|
**Missing entries → symbol treated as unknown global, returns nil.**
|
|
|
|
Key name mappings:
|
|
- `"-"` → `"core-sub"` (NOT `"core--"`)
|
|
- `"apply"` → `apply` (Janet built-in)
|
|
- `"some"` → `core-some?` (shared with `core-some?`)
|
|
- `"pr-str"` → `core-str` (alias)
|
|
- `"list"` → `core-list`, `"name"` → `core-name`, `"subs"` → `core-subs`
|
|
|
|
## Loop/recur compilation
|
|
|
|
`loop*` emits a self-referential closure:
|
|
```janet
|
|
(do (var _loop_N nil)
|
|
(set _loop_N (fn [params] body))
|
|
(_loop_N init-vals...))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`recur` saves `:loop-name` in the AST (looked up from bindings `:jolt/current-loop`), then `emit-recur-expr` rewrites to `(loop-name arg1 arg2...)`.
|
|
|
|
## Throw/try compilation
|
|
|
|
- `throw` → `(error val)` in Janet
|
|
- `try/catch` → `(try body ([err] handler-body))` — Janet uses `([sym] handler)` format
|
|
|
|
## emi-vector-expr critical fix
|
|
|
|
**Bare tuples in Janet eval are function calls**: `[1 2 3]` tries to call `1` as a function. Always emit `['tuple ...]` or `(tuple ...)`.
|
|
|
|
## Quote in data-structure emitter
|
|
|
|
Use `raw-form->janet` to pass Jolt reader forms through verbatim to Janet's `quote`:
|
|
```
|
|
(emit-quote-expr expr) → ['quote (raw-form->janet expr)]
|
|
```
|
|
raw-form->janet converts Jolt symbols to Janet symbols, recursively for arrays/tuples.
|
|
|
|
## make-symbol fix (reader.janet)
|
|
|
|
`/` at position 0 means unqualified symbol. Use `(if (and slash (> slash 0)) ...)` — only split on `/` when it's not at the start.
|
|
|
|
## :data-readers key construction
|
|
|
|
`:data-readers` uses dynamic table construction because `:#inst` is invalid Janet keyword literal syntax (`:#` triggers reader macro):
|
|
```janet
|
|
:data-readers (let [dr @{}]
|
|
(put dr (keyword "#inst") (fn [s] s))
|
|
(put dr (keyword "#uuid") (fn [s] s))
|
|
dr)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## eval-string dispatch (compile mode)
|
|
|
|
```janet
|
|
(if (or (= head-name "defmacro") (= head-name "ns")
|
|
(= head-name "deftype") (= head-name "defmulti") (= head-name "defmethod")
|
|
(= head-name "require") (= head-name "in-ns"))
|
|
(eval-form ctx @{} form) ; interpret
|
|
(compile-and-eval form ctx)) ; compile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
