PR #23 did a poor attempt at doing the same thing, without redefining Scilla's
typ
to accommodate functions with multiple arguments. This PR does it all neatly.This PR defines an AST with the following differences with Scilla's AST:
FunType of typ * typ
is now defined asFunType of (typ list) * typ
and the expressionFun of ident * typ * expr
is defined asFun (ident * typ) list * expr
. The definition ofApp
remains same, except that its semantics is no more that of currying. So the translation pass splits existingApp
into a sequence ofApp
s. For exampley = f a b
(in the original Scilla semantics) now becomesx = f a; y = x b
In the future, we can easily do a decurrying optimization on this new AST to optimize function calls (see #24) .
