Types

type nonrec unit = unit

type io_input =
  1. | NoInput
    (*

    For an internal variable defined only in the scope, and does not appear in the input.

    *)
  2. | OnlyInput
    (*

    For variables that should not be redefined in the scope, because they appear in the input.

    *)
  3. | Reentrant
    (*

    For variables defined in the scope that can also be redefined by the caller as they appear in the input.

    *)

This type characterizes the three levels of visibility for a given scope variable with regards to the scope's input and possible redefinitions inside the scope.

Logging

Global process

The logging is constituted of two phases:

  • The first one consists of collecting raw events (see raw_event) during the program execution (see retrieve_log) throught Logging instruments.
  • The second one consists in parsing the collected raw events into structured ones (see event).

Data structures

type information = string list

Represents information about a name in the code -- i.e. variable name, subscope name, etc...

It's a list of strings with a length varying from 2 to 3, where:

  • the first string is the name of the current scope -- starting with a capitalized letter Scope_name,
  • the second string is either: the name of a scope variable or, the name of a subscope input variable -- a_subscope_var.input_var
  • the third string is either: a subscope name (starting with a capitalized letter Subscope_name or, the input (resp. output) string -- which corresponds to the input (resp. the output) of a function.
val yojson_of_information : information -> Ppx_yojson_conv_lib.Yojson.Safe.t

The raw events

type raw_event =
  1. | BeginCall of information
    (*

    Subscope or function call.

    *)
  2. | EndCall of information
    (*

    End of a subscope or a function call.

    *)
  3. | VariableDefinition of information * io_log * runtime_value
    (*

    Definition of a variable or a function argument.

    *)
  4. | DecisionTaken of source_position
    (*

    Source code position of an event.

    *)

The structured events

The corresponding grammar of the event type, is the following:

<event> := <fun_call>
         | <subscope_call>
         | <var_def>
         | <var_def_with_fun>
         | VariableDefinition

<fun_call> :=
    VariableDefinition                      (function input)
    <fun_call_beg>
        <event>*
        (<var_def> | <var_def_with_fun>)    (function output)
    EndCall

<var_def_with_fun> :=
       /-- DecisionTaken
pos of |   <fun_call>+                      (function calls needed to compute the variable value)
       \-> VariableDefinition

<subscope_call> :=
    <sub_var_def>*          (sub-scope attributes def)
    <sub_call_beg>
        <event>+
    EndCall

<var_def> := DecisionTaken VariableDefinition(info, _)
  (when info.length = 2 && info[1] == "id")

<sub_var_def> := DecisionTaken VariableDefinition(info, _)
  (when info.length = 3)

<fun_call_beg> := BeginCall(info)
  (when info.length = 2)

<sub_call_beg> := BeginCall(info)
  (when info.length = 2 and '.' in info[1])
type event =
  1. | VarComputation of var_def
  2. | FunCall of fun_call
  3. | SubScopeCall of {
    1. name : information;
    2. inputs : var_def list;
    3. body : event list;
    }
and var_def = {
  1. pos : source_position option;
  2. name : information;
  3. io : io_log;
  4. value : runtime_value;
  5. fun_calls : fun_call list option;
}
and fun_call = {
  1. fun_name : information;
  2. fun_inputs : var_def list;
  3. body : event list;
  4. output : var_def;
}
val yojson_of_event : event -> Ppx_yojson_conv_lib.Yojson.Safe.t
val yojson_of_var_def : var_def -> Ppx_yojson_conv_lib.Yojson.Safe.t
val yojson_of_fun_call : fun_call -> Ppx_yojson_conv_lib.Yojson.Safe.t

Parsing

val retrieve_log : unit -> raw_event list

retrieve_log () returns the current list of collected raw_event.

Helping functions

Logging instruments

val reset_log : unit -> unit
val log_begin_call : string list -> 'a -> 'a
val log_end_call : string list -> 'a -> 'a
val log_variable_definition : string list -> io_log -> ('a -> runtime_value) -> 'a -> 'a
val log_decision_taken : source_position -> bool -> bool

Pretty printers

val pp_events : ?is_first_call:bool -> Stdlib.Format.formatter -> event list -> unit

pp_events ~is_first_call ppf events pretty prints in ppf the string representation of events.

If is_first_call is set to true, the formatter will be flush at the end. By default, is_first_call is set to false.

Constructors and conversions

Rounding

val round : Q.t -> Z.t

This helper function rounds a rational to the nearest integer. Tie-breaker is the "half away from zero" rule: 0.5 is rounded to 1.0 and -0.5 is rounded to -1.0. This function shall be used anytime rounding is necessary.

Money

val money_of_cents_string : string -> money
val money_of_units_int : int -> money
val money_of_decimal : decimal -> money

Warning: rounds to nearest cent, using round.

val money_of_cents_integer : integer -> money
val money_to_float : money -> float
val money_to_string : money -> string

val decimal_of_integer : integer -> decimal

Modules API

type hash = string
val register_module : string -> (string * Stdlib.Obj.t) list -> hash -> unit

Registers a module by the given name defining the given bindings. Required for evaluation to be able to access the given values. The last argument is expected to be a hash of the source file and the Catala version, and will in time be used to ensure that the module and the interface are in sync

val check_module : string -> hash -> bool

Returns true if it has been registered with the correct hash, false if there is a hash mismatch.

  • raises Not_found

    if the module does not exist at all

val lookup_value : (string list * string) -> Stdlib.Obj.t
