move REPL to stdlib #25544

KristofferC · 2018-01-13T15:49:45Z

This moved REPL to the stdlib. Since clearly Base needs to access the REPL to start it, I put a Ref where REPL puts itself in when initializing the module.

TODO:

Decide what to do with Base.active_repl and Base.active_repl_backend.
Decide if the "Interact with Julia" manual should be moved to the REPL standard library. Probably.
Should the file replutil.jl be renamed (it is still in Base)? It defines how e.g. errors are shown should not be REPL specific?

Comments?

JeffBezanson · 2018-01-13T18:59:32Z

Yes, I think replutil.jl should stay in Base and be renamed maybe showerror.jl. At the top there are a bunch of general non-error show methods that could be in show.jl or other files.

JeffBezanson · 2018-01-13T19:00:44Z

Hm, we already have arrayshow.jl and methodshow.jl, so I guess make that errorshow.jl.

KristofferC · 2018-01-14T12:14:25Z

Moved the REPL docs to the stdlib location. The part about colors is potentially a bit out of place but not sure if there is a better place to put it.

The last question, should Base.active_repl and Base.active_repl_backend be moved to the REPL module?

JeffBezanson · 2018-01-14T17:03:09Z

I think those can stay in Base; they're Base's way of getting a reference to the current repl, so they're mostly a feature of Base itself.

KristofferC · 2018-01-14T20:22:16Z

But moving atreplinit makes sense? Or is that also Base functionality?

KristofferC · 2018-01-15T13:00:23Z

Thinking about it, I sort of want to move back atreplinit to Base. It is not a function specific to the current REPL implementation. It is just stuff that runs when any REPL is loaded, could be the stdlib one, could be a package REPL. Opinions?

Although, it makes is a bit hard to figure out where to put the documentation for it.

JeffBezanson · 2018-01-15T15:12:43Z

That sounds fine to me.

KristofferC · 2018-01-19T13:59:15Z

Should be good to go assuming CI passes. Freebsd builder seemed to stall during building? @iblis17

iblislin · 2018-01-19T14:14:08Z

I think it's file testsuit again. I'm rebuilding it.

KristofferC · 2018-01-20T11:41:02Z

Rebased, will merge if CI pass because this picks up conflicts very fast.

-                pushdisplay(REPL.REPLDisplay(active_repl))

Seems like this one was changed accidentaly?

These module names are sorted alphabetically, it may not be so useful, but why not keep the order :)

I wanted to keep the precompile statements as close as possible to where they originally were.

I find the name REPLREF a bit confusing, this could suggest that it's a ref to a "REPL object" (not module), what about REPLMOD ? (not a big deal anyway).

I'll change it to REPL_MODULE_REF.

If REPLCompletions becomes a submodule of REPL, what about renaming it to REPL.Completions? REPL.REPLCompletions looks redundant (REPLCompletions may also be better if used without its prefix...).
Also, using is missing in the message: run `using REPL.REPLCompletions` instead"
