…key (gnolang#1702) Split from gnolang#1695 for ease of reviewing. Merge order: 1. gnolang#1700 2. gnolang#1702 (this one!) 3. gnolang#1695 \ gnolang#1730 This PR removes `TranspileAndCheckMempkg` in favour of performing the type checking it was supposed to do using `go/types` with a custom importer. This importer works together with Gno's `Store`, and can as such be used to type check Gno packages without ever writing a single file to disk. It is important to note that by "Go type check" I mean a variety of compile-time checks the Go compiler performs; in fact, this is much more powerful than running "gofmt" as we are currently doing. Additionally, it adds a new flag to gnokey, `-simulate`, to control transaction simulation before committing a transaction. See [this issue comment](gnolang#1702 (comment)) Resolves gnolang#1661. ## Reviewing notes - transpiler.TranspileAndCheckMempkg has been removed from the gnokey client and gnoclient, in favour of having this step be performed on the vm keeper. This paves the way for clients to not have to include the entire GnoVM, which I call a win. - Stdlib io had a precompiling error due to an unused variable (`remaining`); I updated it to the latest code on Go's standard libraries. - `Store` changes - `Store` has been changed to have its `getPackage` method work by detecting import cycles, without risking race conditions (the current implementation is not thread-safe). This is done by creating a new store, `importerStore`, which contains the previously imported paths in the current chain. Cyclic imports are still (correctly) detected in the tests. - `GetMemPackage` has been changed to return nil when a package cannot be found. This matches its behaviour with `GetMemFile`, which already did this when the file does not exist. - `GetMemPackage`, if a package is not found in the store, now attempts retrieving it using Store.GetPackage first. The underlying reason is that the Gno importer for the type checker needs to access the source of the standard libraries; however, these are never in any transaction and are not executed "per se" when the blockchain start. As a consequence, they may not exist within the Store; as a solution, when using GetMemPackage, we ensure that a package does not exist by checking if GetPackage does not retrieve it through getMemPackage and save it.

Thank you for adding this functionality 🙏
I've left a few comments, mostly nitpicks, I think we should be good to go 🚀

what is the situation that errorsFound is true while err
is nil?

None, really: further above, we check that tcErr == nil
. So, at this point, there will always be at least an error that was printed.

This code block should be moved before gno.ParseFile(...)
line 214.
I saw somewhere else in this PR that there is also some code to match against *_filetest.gno
. Should it be added here, or better, get rid of special treatment for *_filetest.gno
. Why should it be different from *_test.gno
?

Why do we have some special treatment for *_filetest.gno
? Could these files just not be *_test.gno
?

Unfortunately, we have filetests and we have them in examples
code; and as an official, documented feature of gno test
. (see gno test -h
). We have previously discussed this at the Rouen retreat. These are of the same format of the tests we have in gnovm/tests/files
, similar to the ones you originally created for Yaegi. And I agree; they should probably not exist for anyone who isn't a language developer.
Alas, it's out of scope of this PR to tackle this; so we have to ignore those as well.
All good on my side 🫡 Please check the leftover comms and conflicts, and we're good to merge 🚀 |
Merge order: 1. #1700 2. #1702 3. #1695 (this one!) -- review earlier ones first, if they're still open! This PR modifies the Gno transpiler (fka precompiler) to use Gno's standard libraries rather than Go's when performing transpilation. This creates the necessity to transpile Gno standard libraries, and as such support their native bindings. And it removes the necessity for a package like `stdshim`, and a mechanism like `stdlibWhitelist`. - Fixes #668. Fixes #1865. - Resolves #892. - Part of #814. - Makes #1475 / #1576 possible without using hacks like `stdshim`. cc/ @leohhhn @tbruyelle, as this relates to your work ## Why? - This PR enables us to perform Go type-checking across the board, and not use Go's standard libraries in transpiled code. This enables us to _properly support our own standard libraries_, such as `std` but any others we might want or need. - It also paves the way further to go full circle, and have Gno code be transpiled to Go, and then have "compilable" gno code ## Summary of changes - The transpiler has been thoroughly refactored. - The biggest change is described above: instead of maintaing the import paths like `"strconv"` and `"math"` the same (so using Gno's stdlibs in Gno, and Go's in Go), the import paths for standard libraries is now also updated to point to the Gno standard libraries. - Native functions are handled by removing their definitions when transpiling, and changing their call expressions where appropriate. This links the transpiled code directly to their native counterparts. - This removes the necessity for `stdlibWhitelist`. - As a consequence, `stdshim` is no longer needed and has been removed. - Test files are still not "strictly checked": they may reference stdlibs with no matching source, and will not be tested when running with `--gobuild`. This is because packages like `fmt` have no representation in Gno code; they only exist as injections in `tests/imports.go`. I'll fix this eventually :) - The CLI (`gno transpile`) has been changed to reflect the above changes. - Flag `--skip-fmt` has been removed (the result of transpile is always formatted, anyway), and `--gofmt-binary` too, obviously. `gno transpile` does not perform validation, but will gladly provide helpful validation with the `--gobuild` flag. - There is another PR that adds type checking in `gno lint`, without needing to run through the transpilation step first: #1730 - It now works by default by looking at "packages" rather than individual files. This is necessary so that when performing `transpile` on the `examples` directory, we can skip those where the gno.mod marks the module as draft. These modules make use of packages like "fmt", which because they don't have an underlying gno/go source, cannot be transpiled. - Running with `-gobuild` now handles more errors correctly; ie., all errors not previously captured by the `errorRe` which only matches those pertaining to a specific file/line. - `gnoFilesFromArgs` was unused and as such deleted - `gnomod`'s behaviour was slightly changed. - I am of the opinion that `gno mod download` should not precompile what it downloads; _especially_ to gather the dependencies it has. I've changed it so that it does a `OnlyImports` parse of the file it downloads to fetch additional dependencies Misc: - `Makefile` now contains a recipe to calculate the coverage for `gnovm/cmd/gno`, and also view it via the HTML interface. This is needed as it has a few extra steps (which @gfanton already previously added in the CI). - Realms r/demo/art/gnoface and r/x/manfred_outfmt have been marked as draft, as they depend on packages which are not actually present in the Gno standard libraries. - The transpiler now ignores draft packages by default. - `ReadMemPackage` now also considers Go files. This is meant to have on-chain the code for standard libraries like `std` which have native bindings. We still exclude Go code if it's not in a standard library. - `//go:build` constraints have been removed from standard libraries, as go files can only have one and we already add our own when transpiling ## Further improvements after this PR - Scope understanding in `transpiler` (so call expressions are not incorrectly rewritten) - Correctly transpile gno.mod --------- Co-authored-by: Antonio Navarro Perez <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Miloš Živković <[email protected]>

Depends on (in order):
This PR uses the type checker added in #1702 to perform Gno type checking when calling
gno lint
. Additionally, it adds validation of gno.mod indirectly (the parsed gno mod is used to determine if a package is a draft, and if so skip type checking).Because
gno lint
uses the TestStore, the resultingMemPackage
s may contain redefinitions, for overwriting standard libraries likeAssertOriginCall
. I changed the type checker to filter out the redefinitions before they reach the Go type checker.Further improvements, which can be done after this:
fmt
,os
