Both methods accumulated a result string with repeated `Result := Result + …`
inside a loop — each iteration allocates a fresh buffer and copies the entire
accumulator forward, quadratic in total content size.
Rewrite both using TStringBuilder (geometric buffer growth, single ToString
at the end). On a self-compile via --output the GetText hot path drops from
~17 s to ~1.7 s (~10× speedup); GetCommaText gets the same fix proactively.
Add TestRun_TextGet_ManyLines: 500-line list with mixed empty/non-empty entries,
spot-checks total length and key substrings after the rewrite.
Linear scan over FData returning the index of the first equal element
or -1 when not found. Matches the semantics of TSet<T>.IndexOf which
the rest of the unit already exposes, and saves callers from writing
the hand-rolled scan that bench_lists.pas demonstrates.
Adds two e2e tests covering the integer/found and string/not-found
paths.
Wires up for..in on TList<T> from generics.collections. Two compiler
fixes were required:
- uSemantic: TClassName<T>.Method(args) inside a generic method body
failed to resolve because AnalyseMethodCallExpr looked up the literal
name with the unsubstituted type parameter. Now mirrors the existing
field-access path: if the receiver name contains '<' and lookup fails,
apply ResolveScopeBoundTypeParams + FindTypeOrInstantiate before
re-trying the lookup.
- uCodeGenQBE: constructor-with-args path emitted
$_FieldCleanup_TListEnumerator<String> with literal angle brackets
which QBE rejects. Mangle the class name like the no-arg path
already does.
Add blaise_thread.pas runtime unit wrapping pthread_create, pthread_join,
pthread_mutex_init/lock/unlock/destroy and sysconf for GetCPUCount.
Implement TThread (Create, Start, Terminate, WaitFor, Execute virtual,
FreeOnTerminate) and TCriticalSection (Enter/Leave) in classes.pas using
ARC-safe ref counting in the thread trampoline.
Fix EmitFieldCleanupFn to walk the parent chain when emitting the Destroy
call — previously a subclass without its own Destroy would generate an
empty cleanup, causing leaked resources from parent destructors.
Link -lpthread in both the compiler driver and E2E test base.
Include 7 E2E tests covering basic execution, WaitFor blocking, Terminate
flag, Finished flag, multiple threads, mutex-protected counter, and
inherited Destroy cleanup.
Separate always-linked runtime code (system.pas, ARC, strings, platform
abstraction) from opt-in standard library units (sysutils, classes, math,
dateutils, generics, etc.). This mirrors the Go runtime/ vs stdlib, Rust
core vs std, and Swift SwiftRuntime vs SwiftCore patterns.
- runtime/ contains code linked into every binary + C shims
- stdlib/ contains units imported explicitly via uses clause
- Single platform abstraction layer (rtl.platform.*) in runtime/,
shared by both runtime/ and stdlib/ units
- bcl.testing renamed to blaise.testing across all 95+ test files
- Updated PasBuild project.xml, fixpoint.sh, README, unit search paths
- All 1931 tests pass, fixpoint OK (stage-3/stage-4)
