Building with profiling support (uses cabal sandboxes)

To build with profiling support it is recommended that a new sandbox is used, as all library dependencies will have to be compiled with profiling support.

To do so, while in $ROOT/RefScript:

mv .cabal-sandbox .cabal-sandbox.backup
mv cabal.sandbox.config cabal.sandbox.backup.config

Then repeat the first steps of installation:

cabal sandbox init
cabal sandbox add-source ../liquid-fixpoint

This will create fresh .cabal-sandbox and cabal.sandbox.config

But before building, add the following option in cabal.sandbox.config:

library-profiling: True
executable-profiling: True

In addition, in refscript.cabal replace line:

ghc-options:         -W -O2

with:

ghc-options:         -W -O2 -prof -auto-all

Then build with:

cabal install -p

This will build all depending libraries with profiling support.

To run rsc in profiling mode add flags +RTS -p in the end:

rsc input.ts +RTS -p

More detailed options can be found here.

If you're interested in profiling the evaluation of a specific expression you can add a cost center annotation:

{-# SCC "name" #-} <expression>

What this command outputs is a file called rsc.prof that contains all gathered profiling information, including information about both all functions (default cost centers) and user defined cost centers.

Editor Integration

We have some support for rsc in vim and emacs.

Emacs

There is a flycheck plugin for RefScript.

1. Copy ext/emacs/typescript-rsc.el into your emacs PATH.

2. Add this to your init.el

   (require 'typescript) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\.ts\'" . typescript-mode)) (require 'flycheck-rsc)

Vim

Install

1. Add the following to your .vimrc

Bundle 'scrooloose/syntastic'
Bundle 'panagosg7/vim-annotations'

2. Copy the following files

cp ext/vim/typescript/rsc.vim  ~/.vim/bundle/syntastic/syntax_checkers/typescript/rsc.vim
cp ext/vim/typescript/rsc.vim  ~/.vim/bundle/syntastic/syntax_checkers/typescript/rsc.vim

Run

• :SyntasticCheck liquid runs rsc on the current buffer.

View

1. Warnings will be displayed in the usual error buffer.

2. Inferred Types will be displayed when <F1> is pressed over an identifier.

Options

You can configure the checker in various ways in your .vimrc.

• To run after each save, for all Haskell files, add:

let g:syntastic_mode_map = { 'mode': 'active' }
let g:syntastic_typescript_checkers += ['liquid']
let g:syntastic_javascript_checkers += ['liquid']

• To pass extra options to rsc add:

let g:syntastic_typescript_liquid_args = '...'

Notes

• Using export let a = ... brings in the inferred type from TypeScript.
