2022-11-29compiler: fix bytecode for logical assignments of propertiesJo-Philipp Wich
The compiler emitted incorrect bytecode for logical assignment operations on property expressions. The generated instructions left the stack in an unclean state when the assignment condition was not fulfilled, causing a stack layout mismatch between compiler and vm, leading to undefined variable accesses and other non-deterministic behavior. Solve this issue by rewriting the bytecode generation to yield an instruction sequence that does not leave garbage on the stack. The implementation is not optimal yet, as an expression in the form `obj.prop ||= val` will load `obj.prop` twice. This is acceptable for now as the load operation has no side effect, but should be solved in a better way by introducing new instructions that allow for swapping stack slots, allowing the vm to operate on a copy of the loaded value. Also rewrite the corresponding test case to trigger a runtime error on code versions before this fix.

2022-11-22compiler: ensure that arrow functions with block bodies return no valueJo-Philipp Wich
Follow ES6 semantics and ensure that arrow functions with a block body don't implicitly return the value of the last executed statement. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-11-15compiler: fix `??=`, `||=` and `&&=` logical assignment semanticsJo-Philipp Wich
When compiling logical assignment expressions, ensure that the right hand side of the assignment is not evaluated when the assignment condition is unfulfilled. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-10-04compiler: optimize function return opcode generationJo-Philipp Wich
Track last emitted statement type in compiled code and only generate final `return null` opcodes if there is no preceeding `return` statement. Also use this statement tracking to avoid emitting invalid return opcodes for arrow function bodies with trailing empty statements. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-08-24lib: introduce helper function for indenting error messagesJo-Philipp Wich
Factor out the nested syntax error message indentation logic into a separate helper procedure for reuse in other places. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-08-06compiler: add import statement support for dynamic extensionsJo-Philipp Wich
Utilize the new I_DYNLINK vm opcode to support import statements referring to dynamic extension modules. During compilation, the compiler will try to infer the type of the imported module from the resolved file path; if it ends with `.so`, the module is assumed to by a dynamic extension and loading/binding of the module is deferred to runtime using I_DYNLINK opcodes. Additionally, the `-c` cli option gained support for a new compiler flag `dynlink=...` which allows forcing a particular module name expression to be treated as dynamic extension. This is useful to e.g. force resolving `import { x } from "foo"` to a dynamic extension `foo.so` loaded at runtime even if a plain `foo.uc` exists in the search path during compilation or if no such module is available at build time.

2022-08-06compiler: don't treat offset 0 special at syntax errorsJo-Philipp Wich
If a compile error is raised at offset 0, try to resolve line and character position anyway. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-08-05compiler: improve formatting of nested syntax error messagesJo-Philipp Wich
Indent inner messages and prepend them with a vertical bar to increase visual separation of messages. Also include file name in source context output when the compiled program contains more than one source file. Adjust affected testcase outputs accordingly. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-08-05compiler: rework export index allocationJo-Philipp Wich
The current implementation of the module export offset tracking was inadequate and failed to properly handle larger module dependency graphs. In order to properly support nested module imports/exports, the following changes have been introduced: - Gather export slots during module compilation and emit corresponding export opcodes as one contiguous block at the end of the module function body, right before the final return. This ensures that interleaved imports of other modules do not place foreign exports between our module exports. - Track the number of program wide allocated export slots in order to derive per-module-source offsets for the global VM export list. - Derive import opcode source index from the module source export offset and the index of the requested name within the module source export name list. - Improve error reporting for circular module imports.

2022-08-05compiler: fix deriving module path from source runpathJo-Philipp Wich
The current implementation of `uc_compiler_canonicalize_path()` used the entire runtime path of the source object as path prefix, not just the directory part of it. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-08-05compiler: enforce stricter module compilation rulesJo-Philipp Wich
- Disallow toplevel `return` statements in module functions - Disallow `export` statements in non-module functions Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-08-05compiler: add a flag denoting module functionsJo-Philipp Wich
Introduce a further uc_function_t structure member indicating whether the underlying function is a module constructor. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-07-30compiler: add support for import/export statementsJo-Philipp Wich
This commit introduces syntax level support for ES6 style module import and export statements. Imports are resolved at compile time and the corresponding module code is compiled into the main program. Also add testcases to cover import and export statement semantics. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-07-30compiler: resolve predeclared upvaluesJo-Philipp Wich
Do not require a parent function compiler reference to lookup an already declared (potentially unresolved) upvalue in the current scope. Instead, search the named upvalues in the current function scope in case there is no parent compiler reference. This is required for the upcoming module support which will use unresolved upvalues to realize import/export functionality. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-07-30compiler: require a name in function declarationsJo-Philipp Wich
So far we allowed anonymous toplevel function expressions which makes little sense since those can't be used for anything. Require toplevel function declarations to be named and turn a missing name into a compile time syntax error. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-07-30compiler: fix reported source position in inc/dec operator errorJo-Philipp Wich
Report the proper source location when raising an error due to an increment/decrement operation on a constant value. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-07-30program: add infrastructure to handle multiple sources per programJo-Philipp Wich
The upcoming module support requires maintaining multiple source objects within the same program, so add the necessary infrastructure for it. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-06-30compiler: fix stack mismatch on continue statements nested in switchesJo-Philipp Wich
When compiling continue statements nested in switches, the compiler only emitted pop statements for the local variables in the switch body scope, but not for the locals in the scope(s) leading up to the containing loop body. Extend the compilers internal patchlist structure to keep track of the type of scope tied to the patchlist and extend `continue` statement compilation logic to select the appropriate parent patch list in order to determine the amount of locals (stack slots) to clear before the emitted jump instruction. As a result, the `uc_compiler_backpatch()` implementation can be simplified somewhat since we do not need to propagate entries to parent lists anymore. Also add a further regression test case to cover this issue. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-06-27compiler: fix stack mismatch on nonmatching switch statements with localsJo-Philipp Wich
When a switch statement containing cases with local variable declarations and no default case is evalulated and none of the the cases matched, the local variable slots were never initialized but got popped off the stack when execution resumed after the switch scope, leading to a mismatch in stack layout between compiler and runtime, causing local variables to yield wrong values or a stack underflow triggering a segmentation fault. Solve this issue by patching the last conditional case match jump to hop beyond the local variable pop instructions when no default case is defined. Also extend the regression test case dealing with other switch related stack mismatch issues to cover this particular problem as well. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-05-20compiler: fix segmentation fault on compiling unexpected unary expressionsJo-Philipp Wich
When compiling expressions followed by a unary operator, the compiler triggered a segmentation fault due to invoking an unset infix parser routine. Explicitly handle this case and raise a syntax error if such an invalid expression is encountered. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>

2022-02-11compiler: fix patchlist corruption on switch statement syntax errorsJo-Philipp Wich
When compiling a switch statement with duplicate `default` cases or a switch statement with syntax errors before the body block, two error handling cases were hit in the code that prematurely returned from the function without resetting the compiler's patchlist pointer away from the on-stack patchlist that had been set up for the switch statement. Upon processing a subsequent break or continue control statement, a realloc was performed on the then invalid patchlist contents, triggering a segmentation fault or libc assert. Solve this issue by not returning from the function but breaking the switch body parsing loop. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-02-08compiler: fix incorrect loop break targetsJo-Philipp Wich
When patching jump targets for break statments while compiling for-loop statments, we need jump beyond the instructions popping intermediate loop variables off the stack but before the pop instructions removing local loop body variables to prevent a stack position mismatch between compiler and vm. Before that change, local loop body variables remained on the stack, breaking the expected stack layout.

2022-02-07treewide: rework function memory modelJo-Philipp Wich
- Instead of treating individual program functions as managed ucode types, demote uc_function_t values to pointers into a uc_program_t entity - Promote uc_program_t to a managed type - Let uc_closure_t claim references to the owning program of the enclosed uc_function_t - Redefine public APIs uc_compile() and uc_vm_execute() APIs to return and expect an uc_program_t object respectively - Remove vallist indirection for function loading and let the compiler emit the function id directly when producing function construction code Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-01-29program: rename bytecode load/write functions, track path of executed fileJo-Philipp Wich
Extend source objects with a `runpath` field which contains the original path of the source being executed by the VM. When instantiating source objects from file paths, the `runpath` will be set to the `filename`. When instantiating source buffers using `uc_source_new_buffer()`, the runpath is initially unset. A new function `uc_source_runpath_set()` can be used to adjust the runtime path being associated with a source object. Extend bytecode loading logic to set the source buffer runtime path to the precompiled bytecode file path being loaded and executed. This is required for `sourcepath()` and relative paths in `include()` to function correctly when executing precompiled programs. Finally rename `uc_program_from_file()` and `uc_program_to_file()` to `uc_program_load()` and `uc_program_write()` respectively since the load part now operates on an `uc_source_t` input buffer instead of a plain `FILE *` handle. Adjust users of these API functions accordingly. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>

2022-01-18source: refactor source file handlingJo-Philipp Wich
- Move source object pointer into program entity which is referenced by each function - Move lineinfo related routines into source.c and use them from lexer.c since lineinfo encoding does not belong into the lexical analyzer. - Implement initial infrastructure for detecting source file type, this is required later to differentiate between plaintext and precompiled bytecode files Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>

2022-01-18types: add initial infrastructure for function serializationJo-Philipp Wich
- Introduce a new "program" entity which holds the list of functions created during compilation - Instead of storing pointers to the in-memory function representation in the constant list, store the index of the function within the program's function list - When loading functions from the constant list, retrieve the function by index from the program entity Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2022-01-04treewide: rework numeric value handlingJo-Philipp Wich

Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2021-10-11syntax: introduce optional chaining operatorsJo-Philipp Wich
Introduce new operators `?.`, `?.[…]` and `?.(…)` to simplify looking up deeply nested property chain in a secure manner. The `?.` operator behaves like the `.` property access operator but yields `null` if the left hand side is `null` or not an object. Like `?.`, the `?.[…]` operator behaves like the `[…]` computed property access but yields `null` if the left hand side is `null` or neither an object or array. Finally the `?.(…)` operator behaves like the function call operator `(…)` but yields `null` if the left hand side is `null` or not a callable function. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2021-09-19compiler: properly handle jumps to offset 0Jo-Philipp Wich
When compiling certain expressions as first statement of an ucode program, e.g. a while loop in raw mode, a jump instruction to offset zero is emitted which was incorrectly treated as placeholder by the compiler. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>

2021-06-08compiler: improve mapping of binary operator tokens to instructionsJo-Philipp Wich
Instead of relying on a switch/case mapping of token values to corresponding VM instructions, infer the instruction number arithmetically. This shrinks the compiled size on x86/64 by about 250 bytes. Also emit I_LE and I_GE instructions for `<=` and `>=` comparisons instead of transforming these into I_GT and I_LT negations. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>

2021-05-18syntax: introduce `const` supportJo-Philipp Wich
Introduce support for declaring constant variables through the `const` keyword. Variables declared with `const` follow the same scoping rules as `let` declared ones. In contrast to normal variables, `const` ones may not be assigned to after their declaration. Any attempt to do so will result in a syntax error during compilation.

2021-05-18syntax: implement `delete` as proper operatorJo-Philipp Wich
Turn `delete` into a proper operator mimicking ECMAScript semantics. Also ensure to transparently turn deprecated `delete(obj, propname)` function calls into `delete obj.propname` expressions during compilation. When strict mode is active, legacy delete() calls throw a syntax error instead. Finally drop the `delete()` function from the stdlib as it is shadowed by the delete operator syntax now.

2021-05-11compiler: fix local for-loop initializer variable declarationsJo-Philipp Wich
In a loop statement like `for (let x = 1, y = 2; ...)` the initialization statement was incorrectly interpreted as `let x = 1; y = 2` instead of the correct `let ..., y = 2`, triggering reference error exceptions in strict mode. Solve the issue by continue parsing the rest of the comma expression seqence as declaration list expression when the initializer is compiled in local mode. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2021-05-11compiler: properly parse slashes in parenthesized division expressionsJo-Philipp Wich
Due to the special code path parsing the leading label portion of a parenthesized expression, slashes following a label were improperly treated as regular expression literal delimitters, emitting a syntax error when an otherwise valid expression such as `a / 1` was being parsed as first sub expression of a parenthesized expression. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2021-05-05compiler: properly handle break/continue in nested scopesJo-Philipp Wich

2021-05-04compiler: properly handle keyword in parenthesized property access expressionJo-Philipp Wich
Due to the special code path parsing the leading label portion of a parenthesized expression, keywords following a property access operator (TK_DOT, `.`) weren't properly handled, emitting a syntax error when an otherwise valid expression such as `value.default` was being parsed as first sub expression of a parenthesized expression.
