********************************************************** Notation:

We use BNF notation. Terminal symbols start with at least two consecutive upper case letters. Each terminal is represented as a single byte tag. Non-terminals are mixed case. Prefixes of the form lower case letter*_ are for explanation of semantic content only, they can be dropped without changing the grammar.

Micro-syntax:

LongInt = Digit* StopDigit -- big endian 2's complement, value fits in a Long w/o overflow Int = LongInt -- big endian 2's complement, fits in an Int w/o overflow Nat = LongInt -- non-negative value, fits in an Int without overflow Digit = 0 | ... | 127 StopDigit = 128 | ... | 255 -- value = digit - 128

Note: The signature of a SELECTin or TERMREFin node is the signature of the selected symbol, not the signature of the reference. The latter undergoes an asSeenFrom but the former does not.

Note: Tree tags are grouped into 5 categories that determine what follows, and thus allow to compute the size of the tagged tree in a generic way.

Category 1 (tags 1-59) : tag Category 2 (tags 60-89) : tag Nat Category 3 (tags 90-109) : tag AST Category 4 (tags 110-127): tag Nat AST Category 5 (tags 128-255): tag Length

def isVersionCompatible(fileMajor: Int, fileMinor: Int, fileExperimental: Int, compilerMajor: Int, compilerMinor: Int, compilerExperimental: Int): Boolean

This method implements a binary relation (<:<) between two TASTy versions.

This method implements a binary relation (<:<) between two TASTy versions.

We label the lhs file and rhs compiler. if file <:< compiler then the TASTy file is valid to be read.

A TASTy version, e.g. v := 28.0-3 is composed of three fields:

  • v.major == 28
  • v.minor == 0
  • v.experimental == 3

TASTy versions have a partial order, for example, a <:< b and b <:< a are both false if

  • a and b have different major fields.
  • a and b have the same major & minor fields, but different experimental fields, both non-zero.

A TASTy version with a zero value for its experimental field is considered to be stable. Files with a stable TASTy version can be read by a compiler with an unstable TASTy version, (where the compiler's TASTy version has a higher minor field).

A compiler with a stable TASTy version can never read a file with an unstable TASTy version.

We follow the given algorithm:

(fileMajor, fileMinor, fileExperimental) match
 case (`compilerMajor`, `compilerMinor`, `compilerExperimental`) => true // full equality
 case (`compilerMajor`, minor, 0) if minor < compilerMinor       => true // stable backwards compatibility
 case _                                                          => false

If non-negative, the number of leading references (represented as nats) of a length/trees entry. If negative, minus the number of leading non-reference trees.

Natural Number.

Natural Number. The ExperimentalVersion allows for experimentation with changes to TASTy without committing to any guarantees of compatibility.

A zero value indicates that the TASTy version is from a stable, final release.

A strictly positive value indicates that the TASTy version is experimental. An experimental TASTy file can only be read by a tool with the same version. However, tooling with an experimental TASTy version is able to read final TASTy documents if the file's MinorVersion is strictly less than the current value.
