The library contains both common APIs which ease common programming - feats as well as core program logic for the more high-level features of TNSL. TNSL can - indeed run without a libts, however doing so limits many parts of the language to the "raw" - variants. These limited features include structs, types, and interfaces primarially. - - libts contains a standard method resolution algorithm such that method calls can be resolved - on runtime for the high level dynamic type system. - ----------------------------------- - -Section 2: Short overview - - The library contains many standard algoritims and abstractions found in other languages such - as C, as well as helpers for these containers. - - ----------------------------------- - -Part 2: Library Features - ----------------------------------- - -Section 1: Bitwise Operations - ----------------------------------- - -Section 2: Standard algorithms - ----------------------------------- - -Section 3: Continer structs - ----------------------------------- - -Section 4: Standard abstractions - ----------------------------------- - -Section 5: Time related APIs - - Time is important for any program, and libts provides an interface through which to query - the operating system for it. libts also provides conversion, projection, and timing features - so that programs can make use of user inputs relating to time. If bugs in the time projection - of the library, they will be fixed. No reguard to existing data should be given, accuracy is - the goal above breakage. - - That being said, the library should attempt to work around erronious data in a way that - provides an alternative date if the data is in a good format but pointing to a non-existant - date. An error code will still be thrown in these cases, but indicating that the date does - not exist, not that the input was complete garbage. Programs may catch errors in any way - they choose. - ----------------------------------- - -Section 6: Method resolution - - As previously stated, the library performs method resolution for calls on high-level types. - In an iex file, this is done by finding the associated IEX_TYPE of the object and following - along the "supers" array and checking with the "methods" arrays until the IEX_TYPE contains - a definition for the method called which fits the caller's arguments.
