Core 0.1.3

Changelog

• Added a test-suite written in Flint to test all the examples of the Flint Wiki as a regression-testing system
• Completely refactored the whole Parser (which took nearly 2 weeks of time) to make adding new features much smoother in the future
• Added switch statements and expressions to Flint

use Core.print

enum MyEnum:
    VAL1, VAL2, VAL3, VAL4;

def main():
    MyEnum me = MyEnum.VAL2;
    switch me:
        VAL1: print("is val1\n");
        VAL2: print("is val2\n");
        else: print("is val3 or val4\n");

    i32 res = switch me:
        VAL1 -> 1;
        VAL2 -> 2;
        else -> 0;

• Added ability to write a single statement right next to the colon of a switch body, where the whole switch's body is only this single statement. This does not yet work for other scoped statements, but it is planned for them.
• Added default-branching of the switch statement and expression through the else branch
• Added support to be able to switch on more primitive types (str does not work yet)
• Addes support for the Optional type:

use Core.print

def main():
    i32? maybe = 69;
    if maybe != none:
        print($"maybe = {maybe!}\n");
    maybe = none;
    i32 res = maybe ?? 0;

• Added ability to switch on optional variables
• Added the ! postfix unwrap-operator to force-unwrap an optional, which hard crashes when the optional has no value
• Added the ?? null coalescence operator to provide default-values for optionals
• Added the ability to compare optional values with the none literal and with one another
• Improved the build.sh and profile.sh scripts with more flags
• Improved the general build time using the build.sh script, as it now skips building LLVM entirely if it's out directory already exists, reducing build time from 40+ seconds to be mostly in the 10+ second range
• Fixed for loops being always infinite loops, a mistake from the last release
• Fixed a lot of other issues and bugs
