The CoLiS language

Syntax, parsers, and interpreters for the CoLiS language.

Notes

The file NOTES.org documents discussion, statistics, decisions, and hypotheses about the design of the CoLiS language. Headings from the notes can be referenced in the source code to clarify the implentation using the format NOTES[Heading name].

Tests

The tests are run using make test. This executes every CoLiS file (with extension .cls) and every Shell file (extension .sh) in the directory tests/. The behaviour of the execution, composed by the return code and the stdout, is compared with the behaviour given in an accompanying oracle file (NAME.meta for NAME.cls or NAME.sh).

The oracle file is a Yaml-serialised file of the following format:

input:
  stdin: <a string>
  arguments: <a list of arguments>

output:
  stdout: <a string>
  stderr: <a string>
  return_code: <an integer>

Return Codes

The tool uses different return codes for different kind of errors.

Code Meaning
0 Concrete execution: Execution resulted in success
Symbolic execution: Only success states found
1 Concrete execution: Execution resulted in error
Symbolic execution: At least one error state found
2 Unhandled/unexpected OCaml exception
3 Error in command-line parsing
4 Error while reading input file
5 Error in parsing (Shell or CoLiS)
6 Error in conversion
7 Unsupported utility or argument (only with option --fail-on-unknown-utility)
8 not used anymore
9 Error in pretty-printing (Shell or CoLiS)
10 Symbolic execution: no error states found, but some execution were not covered by symbolic execution
11 Symbolic execution: CPU time limit exceeded
12 Symbolic execution: memory limit exceeded
