There are a few tricky details to call out here. The first is the
`TransactableValueMarker` trait. This is strictly a marker (like
`Sized`, for example) to give some control over what types can be used
as value types in `Entity` instances. This expression is needed due
to the network of `Into` and `From` relations between the parts of
valid `Entity` instances. This allows to drop the `IntoThing`
work-around trait and use the established patterns. (Observe that
`KnownEntid` makes this a little harder, due to the cross-crate
consistency restrictions.)
The second is that we can get rid `{add,retract}_kw`, since the
network of relations expresses the coercions directly.
The third is that this commit doesn't change the name `TermBuilder`,
even though it is now building `Entity` instances. This is because
there's _already_ an `EntityBuilder` which fixes the `EntityPlace`.
It's not clear whether the existing entity building interface should
be removed or whether both should be renamed. That can be follow-up.
This is a pre-requisite for moving the existing `combine`-based parser
to use `rust-peg` -- part of the push to use `rust-peg` for all parsing
started in https://github.com/mozilla/mentat/pull/681. We need the
types for the parsed structure "very early", and the `edn` crate is
the earliest such crate.
This is an unfortunate destruction of boundaries between parts of the
system, but it's the best way we have to achieve this right now.
Documents the FFI layer for Mentat, and provides transaction functionality via an EDN string. Creates two native libraries for iOS (Swift) and Android (Java) and fully tests the FFI for both platforms.
Closes#619#614#611
* Make properties on NamespacedKeyword/NamespacedSymbol private
* Use only a single String for NamespacedKeyword/NamespacedSymbol
* Review comments.
* Remove unsafe code in namespaced_name.
Benchmarking shows approximately zero change.
* Allow the types of ns and name to differ when constructing a NamespacedName.
* Make symbol namespaces optional.
* Normalize names of keyword/symbol constructors.
This will make the subsequent refactor much less painful.
* Use expect not unwrap.
* Merge Keyword and NamespacedKeyword.
We were forgetting to check for bound variables when resolving types other than ref types during inequality handling. This patch adds in the binding checks and `bails` if the bound variable is of the wrong type. #634
* Refactor AttributeCache populator code for use from pull.
* Pre: add to_value_rc to Cloned.
* Pre: add From<StructuredMap> for Binding.
* Pre: clarify Store::open_empty.
* Pre: StructuredMap cleanup.
* Pre: clean up a doc test.
* Split projector crate. Pass schema to projector.
* CLI support for printing bindings.
* Add and use ConjoiningClauses::derive_types_from_find_spec.
* Define pull types.
* Implement pull on top of the attribute cache layer.
* Add pull support to the projector.
* Parse pull expressions.
* Add simple pull support to connection objects.
* Tests for pull.
* Compile with Rust 1.25.
The only choice involved in this commit is that of replacing the
anonymous lifetime '_ with a named lifetime for the cache; since we're
accepting a Known, which includes the cache in question, I think it's
clear that we expect the function to apply to any given cache
lifetime.
* Review comments.
* Bail on unnamed attribute.
* Make assert_parse_failure_contains safe to use.
* Rework query parser to report better errors for pull.
* Test for mixed wildcard and simple attribute.
@mmacedoeu did a good deal of work to show that Arc instead of Rc
wasn't too difficult in #656, and @rnewman pushed the refactoring
across the line in #659. However, we didn't flip the switch at that
time. For #673, we'd like to include TypedValue instances in errors,
and with error-chain (and failure) error types need to be 'Sync +
'Send, so we need Arc.
This builds on #659 and should also finish #656.
* Pre: eliminate some occurrences of Rc, largely through the magic of Into.
* Pre: introduce FromRc to convert between refcounted types.
* Introduce ValueRc as an abstraction over Rc/Arc choice.
* Move Cloned to core.
* Move CString-creation methods to TypedValue.
* Finish transition.
