23 \emph{Ur} is a programming language designed to introduce richer type system features into functional programming in the tradition of ML and Haskell. Ur is functional, pure, statically-typed, and strict. Ur supports a powerful kind of \emph{metaprogramming} based on \emph{type-level computation with type-level records}.

25 \emph{Ur/Web} is Ur plus a special standard library and associated rules for parsing and optimization. Ur/Web supports construction of dynamic web applications backed by SQL databases. The signature of the standard library is such that well-typed Ur/Web programs ``don't go wrong'' in a very broad sense. Not only do they not crash during particular page generations, but they also may not:

28 \item Suffer from any kinds of code-injection attacks
|
|
adamc@554
|
29 \item Return invalid HTML
|
|
adamc@554
|
30 \item Contain dead intra-application links
|
|
adamc@554
|
31 \item Have mismatches between HTML forms and the fields expected by their handlers
|
|
adamc@652
|
32 \item Include client-side code that makes incorrect assumptions about the ``AJAX''-style services that the remote web server provides
|
|
adamc@554
|
33 \item Attempt invalid SQL queries
|
|
adamc@652
|
34 \item Use improper marshaling or unmarshaling in communication with SQL databases or between browsers and web servers

37 This type safety is just the foundation of the Ur/Web methodology. It is also possible to use metaprogramming to build significant application pieces by analysis of type structure. For instance, the demo includes an ML-style functor for building an admin interface for an arbitrary SQL table. The type system guarantees that the admin interface sub-application that comes out will always be free of the above-listed bugs, no matter which well-typed table description is given as input.

39 The Ur/Web compiler also produces very efficient object code that does not use garbage collection. These compiled programs will often be even more efficient than what most programmers would bother to write in C. The compiler also generates JavaScript versions of client-side code, with no need to write those parts of applications in a different language.

|

51 If you are lucky, then the following standard command sequence will suffice for installation, in a directory to which you have unpacked the latest distribution tarball.
|
|
adamc@555
|
52
|
|
adamc@555
|
53 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@555
|
54 ./configure
|
|
adamc@555
|
55 make
|
|
adamc@555
|
56 sudo make install
|
|
adamc@555
|
57 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@555
|
58
|
|
adamc@896
|
59 Some other packages must be installed for the above to work. At a minimum, you need a standard UNIX shell, with standard UNIX tools like sed and GCC in your execution path; MLton, the whole-program optimizing compiler for Standard ML; and the mhash C library. As of this writing, in the ``testing'' version of Debian Linux, this command will install the more uncommon of these dependencies:
|
|
adamc@896
|
60 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
61 apt-get install mlton libmhash-dev
|
|
adamc@896
|
62 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@555
|
63
|
|
adamc@896
|
64 To build programs that access SQL databases, you also need one of these client libraries for supported backends.
|
|
adamc@555
|
65 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
66 apt-get install libpq-dev libmysqlclient15-dev libsqlite3-dev
|
|
adamc@555
|
67 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@555
|
68
|
|
adamc@555
|
69 It is also possible to access the modules of the Ur/Web compiler interactively, within Standard ML of New Jersey. To install the prerequisites in Debian testing:
|
|
adamc@555
|
70 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@555
|
71 apt-get install smlnj libsmlnj-smlnj ml-yacc ml-lpt
|
|
adamc@555
|
72 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@555
|
73
|
|
adamc@555
|
74 To begin an interactive session with the Ur compiler modules, run \texttt{make smlnj}, and then, from within an \texttt{sml} session, run \texttt{CM.make "src/urweb.cm";}. The \texttt{Compiler} module is the main entry point.
|
|
adamc@555
|
75
|
|
adamc@896
|
76 To run an SQL-backed application with a backend besides SQLite, you will probably want to install one of these servers.
|
|
adamc@555
|
77
|
|
adamc@555
|
78 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
79 apt-get install postgresql-8.3 mysql-server-5.0
|
|
adamc@555
|
80 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@555
|
81
|
|
adamc@555
|
82 To use the Emacs mode, you must have a modern Emacs installed. We assume that you already know how to do this, if you're in the business of looking for an Emacs mode. The demo generation facility of the compiler will also call out to Emacs to syntax-highlight code, and that process depends on the \texttt{htmlize} module, which can be installed in Debian testing via:
|
|
adamc@555
|
83
|
|
adamc@555
|
84 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@555
|
85 apt-get install emacs-goodies-el
|
|
adamc@555
|
86 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@555
|
87
|
|
adamc@555
|
88 Even with the right packages installed, configuration and building might fail to work. After you run \texttt{./configure}, you will see the values of some named environment variables printed. You may need to adjust these values to get proper installation for your system. To change a value, store your preferred alternative in the corresponding UNIX environment variable, before running \texttt{./configure}. For instance, here is how to change the list of extra arguments that the Ur/Web compiler will pass to GCC on every invocation.
|
|
adamc@555
|
89
|
|
adamc@555
|
90 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@555
|
91 GCCARGS=-fnested-functions ./configure
|
|
adamc@555
|
92 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@555
|
93
|
|
adamc@1137
|
94 Some Mac OS X users have reported needing to use this particular GCCARGS value.
|
|
adamc@1137
|
95
|
|
adamc@1161
|
96 Since the author is still getting a handle on the GNU Autotools that provide the build system, you may need to do some further work to get started, especially in environments with significant differences from Linux (where most testing is done). One OS X user reported needing to run \texttt{./configure} with \texttt{CFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include}, since this directory wound up holding a header file associated with a \texttt{libmhash} package installed via DarwinPorts. Further, to get libpq to link, another user reported setting \texttt{GCCARGS="-I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib/postgresql84"}, after creating a symbolic link with \texttt{ln -s /opt/local/include/postgresql84 /opt/local/include/postgresql}.

98 The Emacs mode can be set to autoload by adding the following to your \texttt{.emacs} file.
|
|
adamc@555
|
99
|
|
adamc@555
|
100 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@555
|
101 (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/urweb-mode")
|
|
adamc@555
|
102 (load "urweb-mode-startup")
|
|
adamc@555
|
103 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@555
|
104
|
|
adamc@555
|
105 Change the path in the first line if you chose a different Emacs installation path during configuration.

110 \subsection{Project Files}
|
|
adamc@556
|

|
|
adamc@556
|
112 The basic inputs to the \texttt{urweb} compiler are project files, which have the extension \texttt{.urp}. Here is a sample \texttt{.urp} file.
|
|
adamc@556
|
113
|
|
adamc@556
|
114 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@556
|
115 database dbname=test
|
|
adamc@556
|
116 sql crud1.sql
|
|
adamc@556
|
117
|
|
adamc@556
|
118 crud
|
|
adamc@556
|
119 crud1
|
|
adamc@556
|
120 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@556
|
121
|
|
adamc@556
|
122 The \texttt{database} line gives the database information string to pass to libpq. In this case, the string only says to connect to a local database named \texttt{test}.
|
|
adamc@556
|
123
|
|
adamc@556
|
124 The \texttt{sql} line asks for an SQL source file to be generated, giving the commands to run to create the tables and sequences that this application expects to find. After building this \texttt{.urp} file, the following commands could be used to initialize the database, assuming that the current UNIX user exists as a Postgres user with database creation privileges:
|
|
adamc@556
|
125
|
|
adamc@556
|
126 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@556
|
127 createdb test
|
|
adamc@556
|
128 psql -f crud1.sql test
|
|
adamc@556
|
129 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@556
|
130
|
|
adam@1331
|
131 A blank line separates the named directives from a list of modules to include in the project. Any line may contain a shell-script-style comment, where any suffix of a line starting at a hash character \texttt{\#} is ignored.
|
|
adamc@556
|
132
|
|
adamc@556
|
133 For each entry \texttt{M} in the module list, the file \texttt{M.urs} is included in the project if it exists, and the file \texttt{M.ur} must exist and is always included.
|
|
adamc@556
|
134
|
|
adamc@783
|
135 Here is the complete list of directive forms. ``FFI'' stands for ``foreign function interface,'' Ur's facility for interaction between Ur programs and C and JavaScript libraries.
|
|
adamc@783
|
136 \begin{itemize}
|
|
adamc@783
|
137 \item \texttt{[allow|deny] [url|mime] PATTERN} registers a rule governing which URLs or MIME types are allowed in this application. The first such rule to match a URL or MIME type determines the verdict. If \texttt{PATTERN} ends in \texttt{*}, it is interpreted as a prefix rule. Otherwise, a string must match it exactly.
|
|
adamc@1171
|
138 \item \texttt{benignEffectful Module.ident} registers an FFI function or transaction as having side effects. The optimizer avoids removing, moving, or duplicating calls to such functions. Every effectful FFI function must be registered, or the optimizer may make invalid transformations. This version of the \texttt{effectful} directive registers that this function has only session-local side effects.
|
|
adamc@783
|
139 \item \texttt{clientOnly Module.ident} registers an FFI function or transaction that may only be run in client browsers.
|
|
adamc@783
|
140 \item \texttt{clientToServer Module.ident} adds FFI type \texttt{Module.ident} to the list of types that are OK to marshal from clients to servers. Values like XML trees and SQL queries are hard to marshal without introducing expensive validity checks, so it's easier to ensure that the server never trusts clients to send such values. The file \texttt{include/urweb.h} shows examples of the C support functions that are required of any type that may be marshalled. These include \texttt{attrify}, \texttt{urlify}, and \texttt{unurlify} functions.
|
|
adamc@783
|
141 \item \texttt{database DBSTRING} sets the string to pass to libpq to open a database connection.
|
|
adamc@783
|
142 \item \texttt{debug} saves some intermediate C files, which is mostly useful to help in debugging the compiler itself.
|
|
adamc@783
|
143 \item \texttt{effectful Module.ident} registers an FFI function or transaction as having side effects. The optimizer avoids removing, moving, or duplicating calls to such functions. Every effectful FFI function must be registered, or the optimizer may make invalid transformations.
|
|
adamc@783
|
144 \item \texttt{exe FILENAME} sets the filename to which to write the output executable. The default for file \texttt{P.urp} is \texttt{P.exe}.
|
|
adamc@783
|
145 \item \texttt{ffi FILENAME} reads the file \texttt{FILENAME.urs} to determine the interface to a new FFI module. The name of the module is calculated from \texttt{FILENAME} in the same way as for normal source files. See the files \texttt{include/urweb.h} and \texttt{src/c/urweb.c} for examples of C headers and implementations for FFI modules. In general, every type or value \texttt{Module.ident} becomes \texttt{uw\_Module\_ident} in C.
|
|
adamc@1099
|
146 \item \texttt{include FILENAME} adds \texttt{FILENAME} to the list of files to be \texttt{\#include}d in C sources. This is most useful for interfacing with new FFI modules.
|
|
adamc@783
|
147 \item \texttt{jsFunc Module.ident=name} gives the JavaScript name of an FFI value.
|
|
adamc@1089
|
148 \item \texttt{library FILENAME} parses \texttt{FILENAME.urp} and merges its contents with the rest of the current file's contents. If \texttt{FILENAME.urp} doesn't exist, the compiler also tries \texttt{FILENAME/lib.urp}.
|
|
adam@1309
|
149 \item \texttt{limit class num} sets a resource usage limit for generated applications. The limit \texttt{class} will be set to the non-negative integer \texttt{num}. The classes are:
|
|
adam@1309
|
150 \begin{itemize}
|
|
adam@1309
|
151 \item \texttt{cleanup}: maximum number of cleanup operations (e.g., entries recording the need to deallocate certain temporary objects) that may be active at once per request
|
|
adam@1309
|
152 \item \texttt{database}: maximum size of database files (currently only used by SQLite)
|
|
adam@1309
|
153 \item \texttt{deltas}: maximum number of messages sendable in a single request handler with \texttt{Basis.send}
|
|
adam@1309
|
154 \item \texttt{globals}: maximum number of global variables that FFI libraries may set in a single request context
|
|
adam@1309
|
155 \item \texttt{headers}: maximum size (in bytes) of per-request buffer used to hold HTTP headers for generated pages
|
|
adam@1309
|
156 \item \texttt{heap}: maximum size (in bytes) of per-request heap for dynamically-allocated data
|
|
adam@1309
|
157 \item \texttt{inputs}: maximum number of top-level form fields per request
|
|
adam@1309
|
158 \item \texttt{messages}: maximum size (in bytes) of per-request buffer used to hold a single outgoing message sent with \texttt{Basis.send}
|
|
adam@1309
|
159 \item \texttt{page}: maximum size (in bytes) of per-request buffer used to hold HTML content of generated pages
|
|
adam@1309
|
160 \item \texttt{script}: maximum size (in bytes) of per-request buffer used to hold JavaScript content of generated pages
|
|
adam@1309
|
161 \item \texttt{subinputs}: maximum number of form fields per request, excluding top-level fields
|
|
adam@1309
|
162 \item \texttt{time}: maximum running time of a single page request, in units of approximately 0.1 seconds
|
|
adam@1309
|
163 \item \texttt{transactionals}: maximum number of custom transactional actions (e.g., sending an e-mail) that may be run in a single page generation
|
|
adam@1309
|
164 \end{itemize}
|
|
adamc@783
|
165 \item \texttt{link FILENAME} adds \texttt{FILENAME} to the list of files to be passed to the GCC linker at the end of compilation. This is most useful for importing extra libraries needed by new FFI modules.
|
|
adam@1332
|
166 \item \texttt{minHeap NUMBYTES} sets the initial size for thread-local heaps used in handling requests. These heaps grow automatically as needed (up to any maximum set with \texttt{limit}), but each regrow requires restarting the request handling process.
|
|
adam@1297
|
167 \item \texttt{onError Module.var} changes the handling of fatal application errors. Instead of displaying a default, ugly error 500 page, the error page will be generated by calling function \texttt{Module.var} on a piece of XML representing the error message. The error handler should have type $\mt{xbody} \to \mt{transaction} \; \mt{page}$. Note that the error handler \emph{cannot} be in the application's main module, since that would register it as explicitly callable via URLs.
|
|
adamc@852
|
168 \item \texttt{path NAME=VALUE} creates a mapping from \texttt{NAME} to \texttt{VALUE}. This mapping may be used at the beginnings of filesystem paths given to various other configuration directives. A path like \texttt{\$NAME/rest} is expanded to \texttt{VALUE/rest}. There is an initial mapping from the empty name (for paths like \texttt{\$/list}) to the directory where the Ur/Web standard library is installed. If you accept the default \texttt{configure} options, this directory is \texttt{/usr/local/lib/urweb/ur}.
|
|
adamc@783
|
169 \item \texttt{prefix PREFIX} sets the prefix included before every URI within the generated application. The default is \texttt{/}.
|
|
adamc@783
|
170 \item \texttt{profile} generates an executable that may be used with gprof.
|
|
adam@1300
|
171 \item \texttt{rewrite KIND FROM TO} gives a rule for rewriting canonical module paths. For instance, the canonical path of a page may be \texttt{Mod1.Mod2.mypage}, while you would rather the page were accessed via a URL containing only \texttt{page}. The directive \texttt{rewrite url Mod1/Mod2/mypage page} would accomplish that. The possible values of \texttt{KIND} determine which kinds of objects are affected. The kind \texttt{all} matches any object, and \texttt{url} matches page URLs. The kinds \texttt{table}, \texttt{sequence}, and \texttt{view} match those sorts of SQL entities, and \texttt{relation} matches any of those three. \texttt{cookie} matches HTTP cookies, and \texttt{style} matches CSS class names. If \texttt{FROM} ends in \texttt{/*}, it is interpreted as a prefix matching rule, and rewriting occurs by replacing only the appropriate prefix of a path with \texttt{TO}. The \texttt{TO} field may be left empty to express the idea of deleting a prefix. For instance, \texttt{rewrite url Main/*} will strip all \texttt{Main/} prefixes from URLs. While the actual external names of relations and styles have parts separated by underscores instead of slashes, all rewrite rules must be written in terms of slashes.
|
|
adamc@1183
|
172 \item \texttt{safeGet URI} asks to allow the page handler assigned this canonical URI prefix to cause persistent side effects, even if accessed via an HTTP \cd{GET} request.
|
|
adamc@783
|
173 \item \texttt{script URL} adds \texttt{URL} to the list of extra JavaScript files to be included at the beginning of any page that uses JavaScript. This is most useful for importing JavaScript versions of functions found in new FFI modules.
|
|
adamc@783
|
174 \item \texttt{serverOnly Module.ident} registers an FFI function or transaction that may only be run on the server.
|
|
adamc@1164
|
175 \item \texttt{sigfile PATH} sets a path where your application should look for a key to use in cryptographic signing. This is used to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks for any form handler that both reads a cookie and creates side effects. If the referenced file doesn't exist, an application will create it and read its saved data on future invocations. You can also initialize the file manually with any contents at least 16 bytes long; the first 16 bytes will be treated as the key.
|
|
adamc@783
|
176 \item \texttt{sql FILENAME} sets where to write an SQL file with the commands to create the expected database schema. The default is not to create such a file.
|
|
adamc@783
|
177 \item \texttt{timeout N} sets to \texttt{N} seconds the amount of time that the generated server will wait after the last contact from a client before determining that that client has exited the application. Clients that remain active will take the timeout setting into account in determining how often to ping the server, so it only makes sense to set a high timeout to cope with browser and network delays and failures. Higher timeouts can lead to more unnecessary client information taking up memory on the server. The timeout goes unused by any page that doesn't involve the \texttt{recv} function, since the server only needs to store per-client information for clients that receive asynchronous messages.

187 The output executable is a standalone web server. Run it with the command-line argument \texttt{-h} to see which options it takes. If the project file lists a database, the web server will attempt to connect to that database on startup. See Section \ref{structure} for an explanation of the URI mapping convention, which determines how each page of your application may be accessed via URLs.

203 The first output line is a list of categories of CSS properties that would be worth setting on the document body. The remaining lines are space-separated pairs of CSS class names and categories of properties that would be worth setting for that class. The category codes are divided into two varieties. Codes that reveal properties of a tag or its (recursive) children are \cd{B} for block-level elements, \cd{C} for table captions, \cd{D} for table cells, \cd{L} for lists, and \cd{T} for tables. Codes that reveal properties of the precise tag that uses a class are \cd{b} for block-level elements, \cd{t} for tables, \cd{d} for table cells, \cd{-} for table rows, \cd{H} for the possibility to set a height, \cd{N} for non-replaced inline-level elements, \cd{R} for replaced inline elements, and \cd{W} for the possibility to set a width.

205 Some other command-line parameters are accepted:
|
|
adamc@896
|
206 \begin{itemize}
|
|
adamc@896
|
207 \item \texttt{-db <DBSTRING>}: Set database connection information, using the format expected by Postgres's \texttt{PQconnectdb()}, which is \texttt{name1=value1 ... nameN=valueN}. The same format is also parsed and used to discover connection parameters for MySQL and SQLite. The only significant settings for MySQL are \texttt{host}, \texttt{hostaddr}, \texttt{port}, \texttt{dbname}, \texttt{user}, and \texttt{password}. The only significant setting for SQLite is \texttt{dbname}, which is interpreted as the filesystem path to the database. Additionally, when using SQLite, a database string may be just a file path.
|
|
adamc@896
|
208
|
|
adamc@896
|
209 \item \texttt{-dbms [postgres|mysql|sqlite]}: Sets the database backend to use.
|
|
adamc@896
|
210 \begin{itemize}
|
|
adamc@896
|
211 \item \texttt{postgres}: This is PostgreSQL, the default. Among the supported engines, Postgres best matches the design philosophy behind Ur, with a focus on consistent views of data, even in the face of much concurrency. Different database engines have different quirks of SQL syntax. Ur/Web tends to use Postgres idioms where there are choices to be made, though the compiler translates SQL as needed to support other backends.
|
|
adamc@896
|
212
|
|
adamc@896
|
213 A command sequence like this can initialize a Postgres database, using a file \texttt{app.sql} generated by the compiler:
|
|
adamc@896
|
214 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
215 createdb app
|
|
adamc@896
|
216 psql -f app.sql app
|
|
adamc@896
|
217 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
218
|
|
adamc@896
|
219 \item \texttt{mysql}: This is MySQL, another popular relational database engine that uses persistent server processes. Ur/Web needs transactions to function properly. Many installations of MySQL use non-transactional storage engines by default. Ur/Web generates table definitions that try to use MySQL's InnoDB engine, which supports transactions. You can edit the first line of a generated \texttt{.sql} file to change this behavior, but it really is true that Ur/Web applications will exhibit bizarre behavior if you choose an engine that ignores transaction commands.
|
|
adamc@896
|
220
|
|
adamc@896
|
221 A command sequence like this can initialize a MySQL database:
|
|
adamc@896
|
222 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
223 echo "CREATE DATABASE app" | mysql
|
|
adamc@896
|
224 mysql -D app <app.sql
|
|
adamc@896
|
225 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
226
|
|
adamc@896
|
227 \item \texttt{sqlite}: This is SQLite, a simple filesystem-based transactional database engine. With this backend, Ur/Web applications can run without any additional server processes. The other engines are generally preferred for large-workload performance and full admin feature sets, while SQLite is popular for its low resource footprint and ease of set-up.
|
|
adamc@896
|
228
|
|
adamc@896
|
229 A command like this can initialize an SQLite database:
|
|
adamc@896
|
230 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
231 sqlite3 path/to/database/file <app.sql
|
|
adamc@896
|
232 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
233 \end{itemize}
|
|
adamc@896
|
234
|
|
adam@1309
|
235 \item \texttt{-limit class num}: Equivalent to the \texttt{limit} directive from \texttt{.urp} files
|
|
adam@1309
|
236
|
|
adamc@896
|
237 \item \texttt{-output FILENAME}: Set where the application executable is written.
|
|
adamc@896
|
238
|
|
adamc@1127
|
239 \item \texttt{-path NAME VALUE}: Set the value of path variable \texttt{\$NAME} to \texttt{VALUE}, for use in \texttt{.urp} files.
|
|
adamc@1127
|
240
|
|
adam@1335
|
241 \item \texttt{-prefix PREFIX}: Equivalent to the \texttt{prefix} directive from \texttt{.urp} files
|
|
adam@1335
|
242
|
|
adamc@896
|
243 \item \texttt{-protocol [http|cgi|fastcgi]}: Set the protocol that the generated application speaks.
|
|
adamc@896
|
244 \begin{itemize}
|
|
adamc@896
|
245 \item \texttt{http}: This is the default. It is for building standalone web servers that can be accessed by web browsers directly.
|
|
adamc@896
|
246
|
|
adamc@896
|
247 \item \texttt{cgi}: This is the classic protocol that web servers use to generate dynamic content by spawning new processes. While Ur/Web programs may in general use message-passing with the \texttt{send} and \texttt{recv} functions, that functionality is not yet supported in CGI, since CGI needs a fresh process for each request, and message-passing needs to use persistent sockets to deliver messages.
|
|
adamc@896
|
248
|
|
adamc@896
|
249 Since Ur/Web treats paths in an unusual way, a configuration line like this one can be used to configure an application that was built with URL prefix \texttt{/Hello}:
|
|
adamc@896
|
250 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
251 ScriptAlias /Hello /path/to/hello.exe
|
|
adamc@896
|
252 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
253
|
|
adamc@1163
|
254 A different method can be used for, e.g., a shared host, where you can only configure Apache via \texttt{.htaccess} files. Drop the generated executable into your web space and mark it as CGI somehow. For instance, if the script ends in \texttt{.exe}, you might put this in \texttt{.htaccess} in the directory containing the script:
|
|
adamc@1163
|
255 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@1163
|
256 Options +ExecCGI
|
|
adamc@1163
|
257 AddHandler cgi-script .exe
|
|
adamc@1163
|
258 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@1163
|
259
|
|
adamc@1163
|
260 Additionally, make sure that Ur/Web knows the proper URI prefix for your script. For instance, if the script is accessed via \texttt{http://somewhere/dir/script.exe}, then include this line in your \texttt{.urp} file:
|
|
adamc@1163
|
261 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@1163
|
262 prefix /dir/script.exe/
|
|
adamc@1163
|
263 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@1163
|
264
|
|
adamc@1163
|
265 To access the \texttt{foo} function in the \texttt{Bar} module, you would then hit \texttt{http://somewhere/dir/script.exe/Bar/foo}.
|
|
adamc@1163
|
266
|
|
adamc@1164
|
267 If your application contains form handlers that read cookies before causing side effects, then you will need to use the \texttt{sigfile} \texttt{.urp} directive, too.
|
|
adamc@1164
|
268
|
|
adamc@896
|
269 \item \texttt{fastcgi}: This is a newer protocol inspired by CGI, wherein web servers can start and reuse persistent external processes to generate dynamic content. Ur/Web doesn't implement the whole protocol, but Ur/Web's support has been tested to work with the \texttt{mod\_fastcgi}s of Apache and lighttpd.
|
|
adamc@896
|
270
|
|
adamc@896
|
271 To configure a FastCGI program with Apache, one could combine the above \texttt{ScriptAlias} line with a line like this:
|
|
adamc@896
|
272 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
273 FastCgiServer /path/to/hello.exe -idle-timeout 99999
|
|
adamc@896
|
274 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
275 The idle timeout is only important for applications that use message-passing. Client connections may go long periods without receiving messages, and Apache tries to be helpful and garbage collect them in such cases. To prevent that behavior, we specify how long a connection must be idle to be collected.
|
|
adamc@896
|
276
|
|
adamc@896
|
277 Here is some lighttpd configuration for the same application.
|
|
adamc@896
|
278 \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
279 fastcgi.server = (
|
|
adamc@896
|
280 "/Hello/" =>
|
|
adamc@896
|
281 (( "bin-path" => "/path/to/hello.exe",
|
|
adamc@896
|
282 "socket" => "/tmp/hello",
|
|
adamc@896
|
283 "check-local" => "disable",
|
|
adamc@896
|
284 "docroot" => "/",
|
|
adamc@896
|
285 "max-procs" => "1"
|
|
adamc@896
|
286 ))
|
|
adamc@896
|
287 )
|
|
adamc@896
|
288 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@896
|
289 The least obvious requirement is setting \texttt{max-procs} to 1, so that lighttpd doesn't try to multiplex requests across multiple external processes. This is required for message-passing applications, where a single database of client connections is maintained within a multi-threaded server process. Multiple processes may, however, be used safely with applications that don't use message-passing.
|
|
adamc@896
|
290
|
|
adamc@896
|
291 A FastCGI process reads the environment variable \texttt{URWEB\_NUM\_THREADS} to determine how many threads to spawn for handling client requests. The default is 1.
|
|
adamc@896
|
292 \end{itemize}
|
|
adamc@896
|
293
|
|
adamc@1127
|
294 \item \texttt{-root Name PATH}: Trigger an alternate module convention for all source files found in directory \texttt{PATH} or any of its subdirectories. Any file \texttt{PATH/foo.ur} defines a module \texttt{Name.Foo} instead of the usual \texttt{Foo}. Any file \texttt{PATH/subdir/foo.ur} defines a module \texttt{Name.Subdir.Foo}, and so on for arbitrary nesting of subdirectories.
|
|
adamc@1127
|
295
|
|
adamc@1164
|
296 \item \texttt{-sigfile PATH}: Same as the \texttt{sigfile} directive in \texttt{.urp} files
|
|
adamc@1164
|
297
|
|
adamc@896
|
298 \item \texttt{-sql FILENAME}: Set where a database set-up SQL script is written.
|
|
adamc@1095
|
299
|
|
adamc@1095
|
300 \item \texttt{-static}: Link the runtime system statically. The default is to link against dynamic libraries.
|
|
adamc@896
|
301 \end{itemize}
|
|
adamc@896
|
302
|
|
adam@1297
|
303 There is an additional convenience method for invoking \texttt{urweb}. If the main argument is \texttt{FOO}, and \texttt{FOO.ur} exists but \texttt{FOO.urp} doesn't, then the invocation is interpreted as if called on a \texttt{.urp} file containing \texttt{FOO} as its only main entry, with an additional \texttt{rewrite all FOO/*} directive.

310
|
|
adamc@524
|
311 We give the Ur language definition in \LaTeX $\;$ math mode, since that is prettier than monospaced ASCII. The corresponding ASCII syntax can be read off directly. Here is the key for mapping math symbols to ASCII character sequences.
|

331 We often write syntax like $e^*$ to indicate zero or more copies of $e$, $e^+$ to indicate one or more copies, and $e,^*$ and $e,^+$ to indicate multiple copies separated by commas. Another separator may be used in place of a comma. The $e$ term may be surrounded by parentheses to indicate grouping; those parentheses should not be included in the actual ASCII.
|
|
adamc@524
|
332
|
|
adamc@873
|
333 We write $\ell$ for literals of the primitive types, for the most part following C conventions. There are $\mt{int}$, $\mt{float}$, $\mt{char}$, and $\mt{string}$ literals. Character literals follow the SML convention instead of the C convention, written like \texttt{\#"a"} instead of \texttt{'a'}.

337 As in the ML language family, the syntax \texttt{(* ... *)} is used for (nestable) comments. Within XML literals, Ur/Web also supports the usual \texttt{<!-- ... -->} XML comments.

355 Ur supports several different notions of functions that take types as arguments. These arguments can be either implicit, causing them to be inferred at use sites; or explicit, forcing them to be specified manually at use sites. There is a common explicitness annotation convention applied at the definitions of and in the types of such functions.

501 There are two kinds of Ur files. A file named $M\texttt{.ur}$ is an \emph{implementation file}, and it should contain a sequence of declarations $d^*$. A file named $M\texttt{.urs}$ is an \emph{interface file}; it must always have a matching $M\texttt{.ur}$ and should contain a sequence of signature items $s^*$. When both files are present, the overall effect is the same as a monolithic declaration $\mt{structure} \; M : \mt{sig} \; s^* \; \mt{end} = \mt{struct} \; d^* \; \mt{end}$. When no interface file is included, the overall effect is similar, with a signature for module $M$ being inferred rather than just checked against an interface.

507 There are a variety of derived syntactic forms that elaborate into the core syntax from the last subsection. We will present the additional forms roughly following the order in which we presented the constructs that they elaborate into.
|
|
adamc@529
|
508
|
|
adamc@529
|
509 In many contexts where record fields are expected, like in a projection $e.c$, a constant field may be written as simply $X$, rather than $\#X$.
|
|
adamc@529
|
510
|
|
adamc@529
|
511 A record type may be written $\{(c = c,)^*\}$, which elaborates to $\$[(c = c,)^*]$.
|
|
adamc@529
|
512
|
|
adamc@533
|
513 The notation $[c_1, \ldots, c_n]$ is shorthand for $[c_1 = (), \ldots, c_n = ()]$.
|
|
adamc@533
|
514
|
|
adam@1350
|
515 A tuple type $\tau_1 \times \ldots \times \tau_n$ expands to a record type $\{1 : \tau_1, \ldots, n : \tau_n\}$, with natural numbers as field names. A tuple expression $(e_1, \ldots, e_n)$ expands to a record expression $\{1 = e_1, \ldots, n = e_n\}$. A tuple pattern $(p_1, \ldots, p_n)$ expands to a rigid record pattern $\{1 = p_1, \ldots, n = p_n\}$. Positive natural numbers may be used in most places where field names would be allowed.
|
|
adamc@529
|
516
|
|
adamc@852
|
517 In general, several adjacent $\lambda$ forms may be combined into one, and kind and type annotations may be omitted, in which case they are implicitly included as wildcards. More formally, for constructor-level abstractions, we can define a new non-terminal $b ::= x \mid (x :: \kappa) \mid X$ and allow composite abstractions of the form $\lambda b^+ \Rightarrow c$, elaborating into the obvious sequence of one core $\lambda$ per element of $b^+$.
|
|
adamc@529
|
518
|
|
adam@1306
|
519 In some contexts, the parser isn't happy with token sequences like $x :: \_$, to indicate a constructor variable of wildcard kind. In such cases, write the second two tokens as $::\hspace{-.05in}\_$, with no intervening spaces. Analogous syntax $:::\hspace{-.05in}\_$ is available for implicit constructor arguments.
|
|
adam@1302
|
520
|
|
adamc@529
|
521 For any signature item or declaration that defines some entity to be equal to $A$ with classification annotation $B$ (e.g., $\mt{val} \; x : B = A$), $B$ and the preceding colon (or similar punctuation) may be omitted, in which case it is filled in as a wildcard.
|
|
adamc@529
|
522
|
|
adamc@529
|
523 A signature item or declaration $\mt{type} \; x$ or $\mt{type} \; x = \tau$ is elaborated into $\mt{con} \; x :: \mt{Type}$ or $\mt{con} \; x :: \mt{Type} = \tau$, respectively.
|
|
adamc@529
|
524
|
|
adamc@654
|
525 A signature item or declaration $\mt{class} \; x = \lambda y \Rightarrow c$ may be abbreviated $\mt{class} \; x \; y = c$.
|
|
adamc@529
|
526
|
|
adam@1354
|
527 Handling of implicit and explicit constructor arguments may be tweaked with some prefixes to variable references. An expression $@x$ is a version of $x$ where all type class instance and disjointness arguments have been made explicit. An expression $@@x$ achieves the same effect, additionally making explicit all implicit constructor arguments. The default is that implicit arguments are inserted automatically after any reference to a non-local variable, or after any application of a non-local variable to one or more arguments. For such an expression, implicit wildcard arguments are added for the longest prefix of the expression's type consisting only of implicit polymorphism, type class instances, and disjointness obligations. The same syntax works for variables projected out of modules and for capitalized variables (datatype constructors).
|
|
adamc@529
|
528
|
|
adamc@852
|
529 At the expression level, an analogue is available of the composite $\lambda$ form for constructors. We define the language of binders as $b ::= p \mid [x] \mid [x \; ? \; \kappa] \mid X \mid [c \sim c]$. A lone variable $[x]$ stands for an implicit constructor variable of unspecified kind. The standard value-level function binder is recovered as the type-annotated pattern form $x : \tau$. It is a compile-time error to include a pattern $p$ that does not match every value of the appropriate type.
|
|
adamc@529
|
530
|
|
adamc@852
|
531 A local $\mt{val}$ declaration may bind a pattern instead of just a plain variable. As for function arguments, only irrefutable patterns are legal.
|
|
adamc@852
|
532
|
|
adamc@852
|
533 The keyword $\mt{fun}$ is a shorthand for $\mt{val} \; \mt{rec}$ that allows arguments to be specified before the equal sign in the definition of each mutually-recursive function, as in SML. Each curried argument must follow the grammar of the $b$ non-terminal introduced two paragraphs ago. A $\mt{fun}$ declaration is elaborated into a version that adds additional $\lambda$s to the fronts of the righthand sides, as appropriate.
|
|
adamc@529
|
534
|
|
adamc@529
|
535 A signature item $\mt{functor} \; X_1 \; (X_2 : S_1) : S_2$ is elaborated into $\mt{structure} \; X_1 : \mt{functor}(X_2 : S_1) : S_2$. A declaration $\mt{functor} \; X_1 \; (X_2 : S_1) : S_2 = M$ is elaborated into $\mt{structure} \; X_1 : \mt{functor}(X_2 : S_1) : S_2 = \mt{functor}(X_2 : S_1) : S_2 = M$.
|
|
adamc@529
|
536
|
|
adamc@852
|
537 An $\mt{open} \; \mt{constraints}$ declaration is implicitly inserted for the argument of every functor at the beginning of the functor body. For every declaration of the form $\mt{structure} \; X : S = \mt{struct} \ldots \mt{end}$, an $\mt{open} \; \mt{constraints} \; X$ declaration is implicitly inserted immediately afterward.
|
|
adamc@852
|
538
|
|
adamc@853
|
539 A declaration $\mt{table} \; x : \{(c = c,)^*\}$ is elaborated into $\mt{table} \; x : [(c = c,)^*]$.
|
|
adamc@529
|
540
|
|
adamc@529
|
541 The syntax $\mt{where} \; \mt{type}$ is an alternate form of $\mt{where} \; \mt{con}$.
|
|
adamc@529
|
542
|
|
adamc@529
|
543 The syntax $\mt{if} \; e \; \mt{then} \; e_1 \; \mt{else} \; e_2$ expands to $\mt{case} \; e \; \mt{of} \; \mt{Basis}.\mt{True} \Rightarrow e_1 \mid \mt{Basis}.\mt{False} \Rightarrow e_2$.
|
|
adamc@529
|
544
|
|
adamc@529
|
545 There are infix operator syntaxes for a number of functions defined in the $\mt{Basis}$ module. There is $=$ for $\mt{eq}$, $\neq$ for $\mt{neq}$, $-$ for $\mt{neg}$ (as a prefix operator) and $\mt{minus}$, $+$ for $\mt{plus}$, $\times$ for $\mt{times}$, $/$ for $\mt{div}$, $\%$ for $\mt{mod}$, $<$ for $\mt{lt}$, $\leq$ for $\mt{le}$, $>$ for $\mt{gt}$, and $\geq$ for $\mt{ge}$.

547 A signature item $\mt{table} \; x : c$ is shorthand for $\mt{val} \; x : \mt{Basis}.\mt{sql\_table} \; c \; []$. $\mt{view} \; x : c$ is shorthand for $\mt{val} \; x : \mt{Basis}.\mt{sql\_view} \; c$, $\mt{sequence} \; x$ is short for $\mt{val} \; x : \mt{Basis}.\mt{sql\_sequence}$. $\mt{cookie} \; x : \tau$ is shorthand for $\mt{val} \; x : \mt{Basis}.\mt{http\_cookie} \; \tau$, and $\mt{style} \; x$ is shorthand for $\mt{val} \; x : \mt{Basis}.\mt{css\_class}$.

552 In this section, we give a declarative presentation of Ur's typing rules and related judgments. Inference is the subject of the next section; here, we assume that an oracle has filled in all wildcards with concrete values.
|
|
adamc@530
|
553
|
|
adamc@530
|
554 Since there is significant mutual recursion among the judgments, we introduce them all before beginning to give rules. We use the same variety of contexts throughout this section, implicitly introducing new sorts of context entries as needed.
|
|
adamc@530
|
555 \begin{itemize}
|
|
adamc@655
|
556 \item $\Gamma \vdash \kappa$ expresses kind well-formedness.
|
|
adamc@530
|
557 \item $\Gamma \vdash c :: \kappa$ assigns a kind to a constructor in a context.
|
|
adamc@530
|
558 \item $\Gamma \vdash c \sim c$ proves the disjointness of two record constructors; that is, that they share no field names. We overload the judgment to apply to pairs of field names as well.
|
|
adamc@531
|
559 \item $\Gamma \vdash c \hookrightarrow C$ proves that record constructor $c$ decomposes into set $C$ of field names and record constructors.
|
|
adamc@530
|
560 \item $\Gamma \vdash c \equiv c$ proves the computational equivalence of two constructors. This is often called a \emph{definitional equality} in the world of type theory.
|
|
adamc@530
|
561 \item $\Gamma \vdash e : \tau$ is a standard typing judgment.
|
|
adamc@534
|
562 \item $\Gamma \vdash p \leadsto \Gamma; \tau$ combines typing of patterns with calculation of which new variables they bind.
|
|
adamc@537
|
563 \item $\Gamma \vdash d \leadsto \Gamma$ expresses how a declaration modifies a context. We overload this judgment to apply to sequences of declarations, as well as to signature items and sequences of signature items.
|
|
adamc@537
|
564 \item $\Gamma \vdash S \equiv S$ is the signature equivalence judgment.
|
|
adamc@536
|
565 \item $\Gamma \vdash S \leq S$ is the signature compatibility judgment. We write $\Gamma \vdash S$ as shorthand for $\Gamma \vdash S \leq S$.

566 \item $\Gamma \vdash M : S$ is the module signature checking judgment.
|
|
adamc@537
|
567 \item $\mt{proj}(M, \overline{s}, V)$ is a partial function for projecting a signature item from $\overline{s}$, given the module $M$ that we project from. $V$ may be $\mt{con} \; x$, $\mt{datatype} \; x$, $\mt{val} \; x$, $\mt{signature} \; X$, or $\mt{structure} \; X$. The parameter $M$ is needed because the projected signature item may refer to other items from $\overline{s}$.
|
|
adamc@539
|
568 \item $\mt{selfify}(M, \overline{s})$ adds information to signature items $\overline{s}$ to reflect the fact that we are concerned with the particular module $M$. This function is overloaded to work over individual signature items as well.

We omit the standard definition of one-hole contexts. We write $[x \mapsto c_1]c_2$ for capture-avoiding substitution of $c_1$ for $x$ in $c_2$, with analogous notation for substituting a kind in a constructor.

888 \subsection{Declaration Typing}
|
|
adamc@535
|
889
|
|
adamc@535
|
890 We use an auxiliary judgment $\overline{y}; x; \Gamma \vdash \overline{dc} \leadsto \Gamma'$, expressing the enrichment of $\Gamma$ with the types of the datatype constructors $\overline{dc}$, when they are known to belong to datatype $x$ with type parameters $\overline{y}$.
|
|
adamc@535
|
891
|
|
adamc@655
|
892 This is the first judgment where we deal with constructor classes, for the $\mt{class}$ declaration form. We will omit their special handling in this formal specification. Section \ref{typeclasses} gives an informal description of how constructor classes influence type inference.
|
|
adamc@535
|
893
|
|
adamc@558
|
894 We presuppose the existence of a function $\mathcal O$, where $\mathcal O(M, \overline{s})$ implements the $\mt{open}$ declaration by producing a context with the appropriate entry for each available component of module $M$ with signature items $\overline{s}$. Where possible, $\mathcal O$ uses ``transparent'' entries (e.g., an abstract type $M.x$ is mapped to $x :: \mt{Type} = M.x$), so that the relationship with $M$ is maintained. A related function $\mathcal O_c$ builds a context containing the disjointness constraints found in $\overline s$.
|
|
adamc@537
|
895 We write $\kappa_1^n \to \kappa$ as a shorthand, where $\kappa_1^0 \to \kappa = \kappa$ and $\kappa_1^{n+1} \to \kappa_2 = \kappa_1 \to (\kappa_1^n \to \kappa_2)$. We write $\mt{len}(\overline{y})$ for the length of vector $\overline{y}$ of variables.

|
|
adamc@536
|
1032
|
|
adamc@558
|
1033 To simplify the judgments in this section, we assume that all signatures are alpha-varied as necessary to avoid including multiple bindings for the same identifier. This is in addition to the usual alpha-variation of locally-bound variables.
|
|
adamc@537
|
1034
|
|
adamc@537
|
1035 We rely on a judgment $\Gamma \vdash \overline{s} \leq s'$, which expresses the occurrence in signature items $\overline{s}$ of an item compatible with $s'$. We also use a judgment $\Gamma \vdash \overline{dc} \leq \overline{dc}$, which expresses compatibility of datatype definitions.

1252 \section{Type Inference}
|
|
adamc@541
|
1253
|
|
adamc@541
|
1254 The Ur/Web compiler uses \emph{heuristic type inference}, with no claims of completeness with respect to the declarative specification of the last section. The rules in use seem to work well in practice. This section summarizes those rules, to help Ur programmers predict what will work and what won't.

1256 \subsection{Basic Unification}
|
|
adamc@541
|
1257
|
|
adamc@560
|
1258 Type-checkers for languages based on the Hindley-Milner type discipline, like ML and Haskell, take advantage of \emph{principal typing} properties, making complete type inference relatively straightforward. Inference algorithms are traditionally implemented using type unification variables, at various points asserting equalities between types, in the process discovering the values of type variables. The Ur/Web compiler uses the same basic strategy, but the complexity of the type system rules out easy completeness.
|
|
adamc@541
|
1259
|
|
adamc@656
|
1260 Type-checking can require evaluating recursive functional programs, thanks to the type-level $\mt{map}$ operator. When a unification variable appears in such a type, the next step of computation can be undetermined. The value of that variable might be determined later, but this would be ``too late'' for the unification problems generated at the first occurrence. This is the essential source of incompleteness.
|
|
adamc@541
|
1261
|
|
adamc@541
|
1262 Nonetheless, the unification engine tends to do reasonably well. Unlike in ML, polymorphism is never inferred in definitions; it must be indicated explicitly by writing out constructor-level parameters. By writing these and other annotations, the programmer can generally get the type inference engine to do most of the type reconstruction work.

1264 \subsection{Unifying Record Types}
|
|
adamc@541
|
1265
|
|
adamc@570
|
1266 The type inference engine tries to take advantage of the algebraic rules governing type-level records, as shown in Section \ref{definitional}. When two constructors of record kind are unified, they are reduced to normal forms, with like terms crossed off from each normal form until, hopefully, nothing remains. This cannot be complete, with the inclusion of unification variables. The type-checker can help you understand what goes wrong when the process fails, as it outputs the unmatched remainders of the two normal forms.

1268 \subsection{\label{typeclasses}Constructor Classes}
|
|
adamc@541
|
1269
|
|
adamc@784
|
1270 Ur includes a constructor class facility inspired by Haskell's. The current version is experimental, with very general Prolog-like facilities that can lead to compile-time non-termination.
|
|
adamc@541
|
1271
|
|
adamc@784
|
1272 Constructor classes are integrated with the module system. A constructor class of kind $\kappa$ is just a constructor of kind $\kappa$. By marking such a constructor $c$ as a constructor class, the programmer instructs the type inference engine to, in each scope, record all values of types $c \; c_1 \; \ldots \; c_n$ as \emph{instances}. Any function argument whose type is of such a form is treated as implicit, to be determined by examining the current instance database.
|
|
adamc@541
|
1273
|
|
adamc@656
|
1274 The ``dictionary encoding'' often used in Haskell implementations is made explicit in Ur. Constructor class instances are just properly-typed values, and they can also be considered as ``proofs'' of membership in the class. In some cases, it is useful to pass these proofs around explicitly. An underscore written where a proof is expected will also be inferred, if possible, from the current instance database.
|
|
adamc@541
|
1275
|
|
adamc@656
|
1276 Just as for constructors, constructors classes may be exported from modules, and they may be exported as concrete or abstract. Concrete constructor classes have their ``real'' definitions exposed, so that client code may add new instances freely. Abstract constructor classes are useful as ``predicates'' that can be used to enforce invariants, as we will see in some definitions of SQL syntax in the Ur/Web standard library.

1278 \subsection{Reverse-Engineering Record Types}
|
|
adamc@541
|
1279
|
|
adamc@656
|
1280 It's useful to write Ur functions and functors that take record constructors as inputs, but these constructors can grow quite long, even though their values are often implied by other arguments. The compiler uses a simple heuristic to infer the values of unification variables that are mapped over, yielding known results. If the result is empty, we're done; if it's not empty, we replace a single unification variable with a new constructor formed from three new unification variables, as in $[\alpha = \beta] \rc \gamma$. This process can often be repeated to determine a unification variable fully.

1282 \subsection{Implicit Arguments in Functor Applications}
|
|
adamc@541
|
1283
|
|
adamc@656
|
1284 Constructor, constraint, and constructor class witness members of structures may be omitted, when those structures are used in contexts where their assigned signatures imply how to fill in those missing members. This feature combines well with reverse-engineering to allow for uses of complicated meta-programming functors with little more code than would be necessary to invoke an untyped, ad-hoc code generator.

|
1289 The built-in parts of the Ur/Web standard library are described by the signature in \texttt{lib/basis.urs} in the distribution. A module $\mt{Basis}$ ascribing to that signature is available in the initial environment, and every program is implicitly prefixed by $\mt{open} \; \mt{Basis}$.
|
|
adamc@542
|
1290
|
|
adamc@542
|
1291 Additionally, other common functions that are definable within Ur are included in \texttt{lib/top.urs} and \texttt{lib/top.ur}. This $\mt{Top}$ module is also opened implicitly.
|
|
adamc@542
|
1292
|
|
adamc@542
|
1293 The idea behind Ur is to serve as the ideal host for embedded domain-specific languages. For now, however, the ``generic'' functionality is intermixed with Ur/Web-specific functionality, including in these two library modules. We hope that these generic library components have types that speak for themselves. The next section introduces the Ur/Web-specific elements. Here, we only give the type declarations from the beginning of $\mt{Basis}$.

1313 Ur also supports \emph{polymorphic variants}, a dual to extensible records that has been popularized by OCaml. A type $\mt{variant} \; r$ represents an $n$-ary sum type, with one constructor for each field of record $r$. Each constructor $c$ takes an argument of type $r.c$; the type $\{\}$ can be used to ``simulate'' a nullary constructor. The \cd{make} function builds a variant value, while \cd{match} implements pattern-matching, with match cases represented as records of functions.

1332 For a type-level record $\mt{r}$, a $\mt{folder} \; \mt{r}$ encodes a permutation of $\mt{r}$'s elements. The $\mt{fold}$ function can be called on a $\mt{folder}$ to iterate over the elements of $\mt{r}$ in that order. $\mt{fold}$ is parameterized on a type-level function to be used to calculate the type of each intermediate result of folding. After processing a subset $\mt{r'}$ of $\mt{r}$'s entries, the type of the accumulator should be $\mt{tf} \; \mt{r'}$. The next two expression arguments to $\mt{fold}$ are the usual step function and initial accumulator, familiar from fold functions over lists. The final two arguments are the record to fold over and a $\mt{folder}$ for it.
|
|
adamc@657
|
1333
|
|
adamc@664
|
1334 The Ur compiler treats $\mt{folder}$ like a constructor class, using built-in rules to infer $\mt{folder}$s for records with known structure. The order in which field names are mentioned in source code is used as a hint about the permutation that the programmer would like.

1356 Ur is a pure language; we use Haskell's trick to support controlled side effects. The standard library defines a monad $\mt{transaction}$, meant to stand for actions that may be undone cleanly. By design, no other kinds of actions are supported.

1416 The fundamental unit of interest in the embedding of SQL is tables, described by a type family and creatable only via the $\mt{table}$ declaration form.
|
|
adamc@543
|
1417 $$\begin{array}{l}
|

1419 \end{array}$$
|
|
adamc@785
|
1420 The first argument to this constructor gives the names and types of a table's columns, and the second argument gives the set of valid keys. Keys are the only subsets of the columns that may be referenced as foreign keys. Each key has a name.
|
|
adamc@785
|
1421
|
|
adamc@785
|
1422 We also have the simpler type family of SQL views, which have no keys.

1434 \subsubsection{Table Constraints}
|
|
adamc@785
|
1435
|
|
adamc@785
|
1436 Tables may be declared with constraints, such that database modifications that violate the constraints are blocked. A table may have at most one \texttt{PRIMARY KEY} constraint, which gives the subset of columns that will most often be used to look up individual rows in the table.
|
|
adamc@785
|
1437
|
|
adamc@785
|
1438 $$\begin{array}{l}

|
adamc@785
|
1445 \end{array}$$
|
|
adamc@785
|
1446 The type class $\mt{sql\_injectable\_prim}$ characterizes which types are allowed in SQL and are not $\mt{option}$ types. In SQL, a \texttt{PRIMARY KEY} constraint enforces after-the-fact that a column may not contain \texttt{NULL}s, but Ur/Web forces that information to be included in table types from the beginning. Thus, the only effect of this kind of constraint in Ur/Web is to enforce uniqueness of the given key within the table.

1524 A final query is constructed via the $\mt{sql\_query}$ function. Constructor arguments respectively specify the free table variables (which will only be available in subqueries), table fields we select (as records mapping tables to the subsets of their fields that we choose) and the (always named) extra expressions that we select.

1585 To encode projection of subsets of fields in $\mt{SELECT}$ clauses, and to encode $\mt{GROUP} \; \mt{BY}$ clauses, we rely on a type family $\mt{sql\_subset}$, capturing what it means for one record of table fields to be a subset of another. The main constructor $\mt{sql\_subset}$ ``proves subset facts'' by requiring a split of a record into kept and dropped parts. The extra constructor $\mt{sql\_subset\_all}$ is a convenience for keeping all fields of a record.

1595 SQL expressions are used in several places, including $\mt{SELECT}$, $\mt{WHERE}$, $\mt{HAVING}$, and $\mt{ORDER} \; \mt{BY}$ clauses. They reify a fragment of the standard SQL expression language, while making it possible to inject ``native'' Ur values in some places. The arguments to the $\mt{sql\_exp}$ type family respectively give the unrestricted-availability table fields, the table fields that may only be used in arguments to aggregate functions, the available selected expressions, and the type of the expression.

1683 Finally, we have aggregate functions. The $\mt{COUNT(\ast)}$ syntax is handled specially, since it takes no real argument. The other aggregate functions are placed into a general type family, using constructor classes to restrict usage to properly-typed arguments. The key aspect of the $\mt{sql\_aggregate}$ function's type is the shift of aggregate-function-only fields into unrestricted fields.

1824 Ur/Web's library contains an encoding of XML syntax and semantic constraints. We make no effort to follow the standards governing XML schemas. Rather, XML fragments are viewed more as values of ML datatypes, and we only track which tags are allowed inside which other tags. The Ur/Web standard library encodes a very loose version of XHTML, where it is very easy to produce documents which are invalid XHTML, but which still display properly in all major browsers. The main purposes of the invariants that are enforced are first, to provide some documentation about the places where it would make sense to insert XML fragments; and second, to rule out code injection attacks and other abstraction violations related to HTML syntax.

1826 The basic XML type family has arguments respectively indicating the \emph{context} of a fragment, the fields that the fragment expects to be bound on entry (and their types), and the fields that the fragment will bind (and their types). Contexts are a record-based ``poor man's subtyping'' encoding, with each possible set of valid tags corresponding to a different context record. For instance, the context for the \texttt{<td>} tag is $[\mt{Body}, \mt{Tr}]$, to indicate a kind of nesting inside \texttt{<body>} and \texttt{<tr>}. Contexts are maintained in a somewhat ad-hoc way; the only definitive reference for their meanings is the types of the tag values in \texttt{basis.urs}. The arguments dealing with field binding are only relevant to HTML forms.

1831 We also have a type family of XML tags, indexed respectively by the record of optional attributes accepted by the tag, the context in which the tag may be placed, the context required of children of the tag, which form fields the tag uses, and which fields the tag defines.

1851 Note that any tag may be assigned a CSS class. This is the sole way of making use of the values produced by $\mt{style}$ declarations. Ur/Web itself doesn't deal with the syntax or semantics of style sheets; they can be linked via URLs with \texttt{link} tags. However, Ur/Web does make it easy to calculate upper bounds on usage of CSS classes through program analysis. The function $\mt{Basis.classes}$ can be used to specify a list of CSS classes for a single tag.

1866 We will not list here the different HTML tags and related functions from the standard library. They should be easy enough to understand from the code in \texttt{basis.urs}. The set of tags in the library is not yet claimed to be complete for HTML standards. Also note that there is currently no way for the programmer to add his own tags. It \emph{is} possible to add new tags directly to \texttt{basis.urs}, but this should only be done as a prelude to suggesting a patch to the main distribution.

1896 A few functions are available to registers callbacks for particular error events. Respectively, they are triggered on calls to $\mt{error}$, uncaught JavaScript exceptions, failure of remote procedure calls, the severance of the connection serving asynchronous messages, or the occurrence of some other error with that connection. If no handlers are registered for a kind of error, then occurrences of that error are ignored silently.

|

adamc@701
|
1906
|
|
adamc@701
|
1907 Most approaches to ``AJAX''-style coding involve imperative manipulation of the DOM tree representing an HTML document's structure. Ur/Web follows the \emph{functional-reactive} approach instead. Programs may allocate mutable \emph{sources} of arbitrary types, and an HTML page is effectively a pure function over the latest values of the sources. The page is not mutated directly, but rather it changes automatically as the sources are mutated.

1931 Transactions can be run on the client by including them in attributes like the $\mt{Onclick}$ attribute of $\mt{button}$, and GUI widgets like $\mt{ctextbox}$ have $\mt{Source}$ attributes that can be used to connect them to sources, so that their values can be read by code running because of, e.g., an $\mt{Onclick}$ event.

1943 To support asynchronous, ``server push'' delivery of messages to clients, any client that might need to receive an asynchronous message is assigned a unique ID. These IDs may be retrieved both on the client and on the server, during execution of code related to a client.

1950 \emph{Channels} are the means of message-passing. Each channel is created in the context of a client and belongs to that client; no other client may receive the channel's messages. Each channel type includes the type of values that may be sent over the channel. Sending and receiving are asynchronous, in the sense that a client need not be ready to receive a message right away. Rather, sent messages may queue up, waiting to be processed.

1959 The $\mt{channel}$ and $\mt{send}$ operations may only be executed on the server, and $\mt{recv}$ may only be executed on a client. Neither clients nor channels may be passed as arguments from clients to server-side functions, so persistent channels can only be maintained by storing them in the database and looking them up using the current client ID or some application-specific value as a key.

|
adamc@701
|
1960
|
|
adamc@701
|
1961 Clients and channels live only as long as the web browser page views that they are associated with. When a user surfs away, his client and its channels will be garbage-collected, after that user is not heard from for the timeout period. Garbage collection deletes any database row that contains a client or channel directly. Any reference to one of these types inside an $\mt{option}$ is set to $\mt{None}$ instead. Both kinds of handling have the flavor of weak pointers, and that is a useful way to think about clients and channels in the database.

1984 A signature item $\mt{table} \; \mt{x} : \mt{c}$ is actually elaborated into two signature items: $\mt{con} \; \mt{x\_hidden\_constraints} :: \{\{\mt{Unit}\}\}$ and $\mt{val} \; \mt{x} : \mt{sql\_table} \; \mt{c} \; \mt{x\_hidden\_constraints}$. This is appropriate for common cases where client code doesn't care which keys a table has. It's also possible to include constraints after a $\mt{table}$ signature item, with the same syntax as for $\mt{table}$ declarations. This may look like dependent typing, but it's just a convenience. The constraints are type-checked to determine a constructor $u$ to include in $\mt{val} \; \mt{x} : \mt{sql\_table} \; \mt{c} \; (u \rc \mt{x\_hidden\_constraints})$, and then the expressions are thrown away. Nonetheless, it can be useful for documentation purposes to include table constraint details in signatures. Note that the automatic generation of $\mt{x\_hidden\_constraints}$ leads to a kind of free subtyping with respect to which constraints are defined.

2076 \section{\label{structure}The Structure of Web Applications}
|
|
adamc@553
|
2077
|
|
adamc@1127
|
2078 A web application is built from a series of modules, with one module, the last one appearing in the \texttt{.urp} file, designated as the main module. The signature of the main module determines the URL entry points to the application. Such an entry point should have type $\mt{t1} \to \ldots \to \mt{tn} \to \mt{transaction} \; \mt{page}$, for any integer $n \geq 0$, where $\mt{page}$ is a type synonym for top-level HTML pages, defined in $\mt{Basis}$. If such a function is at the top level of main module $M$, with $n = 0$, it will be accessible at URI \texttt{/M/f}, and so on for more deeply-nested functions, as described in Section \ref{tag} below. Arguments to an entry-point function are deserialized from the part of the URI following \texttt{f}.
|
|
adamc@553
|
2079
|
|
adam@1347
|
2080 Normal links are accessible via HTTP \texttt{GET}, which the relevant standard says should never cause side effects. To export a page which may cause side effects, accessible only via HTTP \texttt{POST}, include one argument of the page handler of type $\mt{Basis.postBody}$. When the handler is called, this argument will receive a value that can be deconstructed into a MIME type (with $\mt{Basis.postType}$) and payload (with $\mt{Basis.postData}$). This kind of handler will only work with \texttt{POST} payloads of MIME types besides those associated with HTML forms; for these, use Ur/Web's built-in support, as described below.
|
|
adam@1347
|
2081
|
|
adamc@553
|
2082 When the standalone web server receives a request for a known page, it calls the function for that page, ``running'' the resulting transaction to produce the page to return to the client. Pages link to other pages with the \texttt{link} attribute of the \texttt{a} HTML tag. A link has type $\mt{transaction} \; \mt{page}$, and the semantics of a link are that this transaction should be run to compute the result page, when the link is followed. Link targets are assigned URL names in the same way as top-level entry points.
|
|
adamc@553
|
2083
|
|
adamc@553
|
2084 HTML forms are handled in a similar way. The $\mt{action}$ attribute of a $\mt{submit}$ form tag takes a value of type $\$\mt{use} \to \mt{transaction} \; \mt{page}$, where $\mt{use}$ is a kind-$\{\mt{Type}\}$ record of the form fields used by this action handler. Action handlers are assigned URL patterns in the same way as above.
|
|
adamc@553
|
2085
|
|
adamc@558
|
2086 For both links and actions, direct arguments and local variables mentioned implicitly via closures are automatically included in serialized form in URLs, in the order in which they appear in the source code.
|
|
adamc@553
|
2087
|
|
adamc@660

2088 Ur/Web programs generally mix server- and client-side code in a fairly transparent way. The one important restriction is that mixed client-server code must encapsulate all server-side pieces within named functions. This is because execution of such pieces will be implemented by explicit calls to the remote web server, and it is useful to get the programmer's help in designing the interface to be used. For example, this makes it easier to allow a client running an old version of an application to continue interacting with a server that has been upgraded to a new version, if the programmer took care to keep the interfaces of all of the old remote calls the same. The functions implementing these services are assigned names in the same way as normal web entry points, by using module structure.

2092 The HTTP standard suggests that GET requests only be used in ways that generate no side effects. Side effecting operations should use POST requests instead. The Ur/Web compiler enforces this rule strictly, via a simple conservative program analysis. Any page that may have a side effect must be accessed through a form, all of which use POST requests, or via a direct call to a page handler with some argument of type $\mt{Basis.postBody}$. A page is judged to have a side effect if its code depends syntactically on any of the side-effecting, server-side FFI functions. Links, forms, and most client-side event handlers are not followed during this syntactic traversal, but \texttt{<body onload=\{...\}>} handlers \emph{are} examined, since they run right away and could just as well be considered parts of main page handlers.
|
|
adamc@789
|
2093
|
|
adamc@789
|
2094 Ur/Web includes a kind of automatic protection against cross site request forgery attacks. Whenever any page execution can have side effects and can also read at least one cookie value, all cookie values must be signed cryptographically, to ensure that the user has come to the current page by submitting a form on a real page generated by the proper server. Signing and signature checking are inserted automatically by the compiler. This prevents attacks like phishing schemes where users are directed to counterfeit pages with forms that submit to your application, where a user's cookies might be submitted without his knowledge, causing some undesired side effect.

2096 \subsection{Tasks}
|
|
adam@1348
|
2097
|
|
adam@1348
|
2098 In many web applications, it's useful to run code at points other than requests from browsers. Ur/Web's \emph{task} mechanism facilitates this. A type family of \emph{task kinds} is in the standard library:
|
|
adam@1348
|
2099
|
|
adam@1348
|
2100 $$\begin{array}{l}
|
|
adam@1348
|
2101 \mt{con} \; \mt{task\_kind} :: \mt{Type} \to \mt{Type} \\
|
|
adam@1348
|
2102 \mt{val} \; \mt{initialize} : \mt{task\_kind} \; \mt{unit} \\
|
|
adam@1349
|
2103 \mt{val} \; \mt{clientLeaves} : \mt{task\_kind} \; \mt{client} \\
|
|
adam@1349
|
2104 \mt{val} \; \mt{periodic} : \mt{int} \to \mt{task\_kind} \; \mt{unit}
|
|
adam@1348
|
2105 \end{array}$$
|
|
adam@1348
|
2106
|
|
adam@1348
|
2107 A task kind names a particular extension point of generated applications, where the type parameter of a task kind describes which extra input data is available at that extension point. Add task code with the special declaration form $\mt{task} \; e_1 = e_2$, where $e_1$ is a task kind with data $\tau$, and $e_2$ is a function from $\tau$ to $\mt{transaction} \; \mt{unit}$.
|
|
adam@1348
|
2108
|
|
adam@1348
|
2109 The currently supported task kinds are:
|
|
adam@1348
|
2110 \begin{itemize}
|
|
adam@1349
|
2111 \item $\mt{initialize}$: Code that is run when the application starts up.
|
|
adam@1348
|
2112 \item $\mt{clientLeaves}$: Code that is run for each client that the runtime system decides has surfed away. When a request that generates a new client handle is aborted, that handle will still eventually be passed to $\mt{clientLeaves}$ task code, even though the corresponding browser was never informed of the client handle's existence. In other words, in general, $\mt{clientLeaves}$ handlers will be called more times than there are actual clients.
|
|
adam@1349
|
2113 \item $\mt{periodic} \; n$: Code that is run when the application starts up and then every $n$ seconds thereafter.

2117 \section{The Foreign Function Interface}
|
|
adamc@897
|
2118
|
|
adamc@897
|
2119 It is possible to call your own C and JavaScript code from Ur/Web applications, via the foreign function interface (FFI). The starting point for a new binding is a \texttt{.urs} signature file that presents your external library as a single Ur/Web module (with no nested modules). Compilation conventions map the types and values that you use into C and/or JavaScript types and values.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2120
|
|
adamc@897
|
2121 It is most convenient to encapsulate an FFI binding with a new \texttt{.urp} file, which applications can include with the \texttt{library} directive in their own \texttt{.urp} files. A number of directives are likely to show up in the library's project file.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2122
|
|
adamc@897
|
2123 \begin{itemize}
|
|
adamc@897
|
2124 \item \texttt{clientOnly Module.ident} registers a value as being allowed only in client-side code.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2125 \item \texttt{clientToServer Module.ident} declares a type as OK to marshal between clients and servers. By default, abstract FFI types are not allowed to be marshalled, since your library might be maintaining invariants that the simple serialization code doesn't check.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2126 \item \texttt{effectful Module.ident} registers a function that can have side effects. It is important to remember to use this directive for each such function, or else the optimizer might change program semantics.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2127 \item \texttt{ffi FILE.urs} names the file giving your library's signature. You can include multiple such files in a single \texttt{.urp} file, and each file \texttt{mod.urp} defines an FFI module \texttt{Mod}.
|
|
adamc@1099
|
2128 \item \texttt{include FILE} requests inclusion of a C header file.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2129 \item \texttt{jsFunc Module.ident=name} gives a mapping from an Ur name for a value to a JavaScript name.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2130 \item \texttt{link FILE} requests that \texttt{FILE} be linked into applications. It should be a C object or library archive file, and you are responsible for generating it with your own build process.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2131 \item \texttt{script URL} requests inclusion of a JavaScript source file within application HTML.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2132 \item \texttt{serverOnly Module.ident} registers a value as being allowed only in server-side code.
|
|

2135 \subsection{Writing C FFI Code}
|
|
adamc@897
|
2136
|
|
adamc@897
|
2137 A server-side FFI type or value \texttt{Module.ident} must have a corresponding type or value definition \texttt{uw\_Module\_ident} in C code. With the current Ur/Web version, it's not generally possible to work with Ur records or complex datatypes in C code, but most other kinds of types are fair game.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2138
|
|
adamc@897
|
2139 \begin{itemize}
|
|
adamc@897
|
2140 \item Primitive types defined in \texttt{Basis} are themselves using the standard FFI interface, so you may refer to them like \texttt{uw\_Basis\_t}. See \texttt{include/types.h} for their definitions.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2141 \item Enumeration datatypes, which have only constructors that take no arguments, should be defined using C \texttt{enum}s. The type is named as for any other type identifier, and each constructor \texttt{c} gets an enumeration constant named \texttt{uw\_Module\_c}.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2142 \item A datatype \texttt{dt} (such as \texttt{Basis.option}) that has one non-value-carrying constructor \texttt{NC} and one value-carrying constructor \texttt{C} gets special treatment. Where \texttt{T} is the type of \texttt{C}'s argument, and where we represent \texttt{T} as \texttt{t} in C, we represent \texttt{NC} with \texttt{NULL}. The representation of \texttt{C} depends on whether we're sure that we don't need to use \texttt{NULL} to represent \texttt{t} values; this condition holds only for strings and complex datatypes. For such types, \texttt{C v} is represented with the C encoding of \texttt{v}, such that the translation of \texttt{dt} is \texttt{t}. For other types, \texttt{C v} is represented with a pointer to the C encoding of v, such that the translation of \texttt{dt} is \texttt{t*}.

2145 The C FFI version of a Ur function with type \texttt{T1 -> ... -> TN -> R} or \texttt{T1 -> ... -> TN -> transaction R} has a C prototype like \texttt{R uw\_Module\_ident(uw\_context, T1, ..., TN)}. Only functions with types of the second form may have side effects. \texttt{uw\_context} is the type of state that persists across handling a client request. Many functions that operate on contexts are prototyped in \texttt{include/urweb.h}. Most should only be used internally by the compiler. A few are useful in general FFI implementation:

2146 \begin{itemize}
|
|
adamc@897
|
2147 \item \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@897
|
2148 void uw_error(uw_context, failure_kind, const char *fmt, ...);
|
|
adamc@897
|
2149 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@897
|
2150 Abort the current request processing, giving a \texttt{printf}-style format string and arguments for generating an error message. The \texttt{failure\_kind} argument can be \texttt{FATAL}, to abort the whole execution; \texttt{BOUNDED\_RETRY}, to try processing the request again from the beginning, but failing if this happens too many times; or \texttt{UNLIMITED\_RETRY}, to repeat processing, with no cap on how many times this can recur.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2151
|
|
adam@1329
|
2152 All pointers to the context-local heap (see description below of \texttt{uw\_malloc()}) become invalid at the start and end of any execution of a main entry point function of an application. For example, if the request handler is restarted because of a \texttt{uw\_error()} call with \texttt{BOUNDED\_RETRY} or for any other reason, it is unsafe to access any local heap pointers that may have been stashed somewhere beforehand.
|
|
adam@1329
|
2153
|
|
adamc@897
|
2154 \item \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@897
|
2155 void uw_push_cleanup(uw_context, void (*func)(void *), void *arg);
|
|
adamc@897
|
2156 void uw_pop_cleanup(uw_context);
|
|
adamc@897
|
2157 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adam@1329
|
2158 Manipulate a stack of actions that should be taken if any kind of error condition arises. Calling the ``pop'' function both removes an action from the stack and executes it. It is a bug to let a page request handler finish successfully with unpopped cleanup actions.
|
|
adam@1329
|
2159
|
|
adam@1329
|
2160 Pending cleanup actions aren't intended to have any complex relationship amongst themselves, so, upon request handler abort, pending actions are executed in first-in-first-out order.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2161
|
|
adamc@897
|
2162 \item \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@897
|
2163 void *uw_malloc(uw_context, size_t);
|
|
adamc@897
|
2164 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adam@1329
|
2165 A version of \texttt{malloc()} that allocates memory inside a context's heap, which is managed with region allocation. Thus, there is no \texttt{uw\_free()}, but you need to be careful not to keep ad-hoc C pointers to this area of memory. In general, \texttt{uw\_malloc()}ed memory should only be used in ways compatible with the computation model of pure Ur. This means it is fine to allocate and return a value that could just as well have been built with core Ur code. In contrast, it is almost never safe to store \texttt{uw\_malloc()}ed pointers in global variables, including when the storage happens implicitly by registering a callback that would take the pointer as an argument.
|
|
adam@1329
|
2166
|
|
adam@1329
|
2167 For performance and correctness reasons, it is usually preferable to use \texttt{uw\_malloc()} instead of \texttt{malloc()}. The former manipulates a local heap that can be kept allocated across page requests, while the latter uses global data structures that may face contention during concurrent execution. However, we emphasize again that \texttt{uw\_malloc()} should never be used to implement some logic that couldn't be implemented trivially by a constant-valued expression in Ur.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2168
|
|
adamc@897
|
2169 \item \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@897
|
2170 typedef void (*uw_callback)(void *);
|
|
adam@1328
|
2171 typedef void (*uw_callback_with_retry)(void *, int will_retry);
|
|
adamc@897
|
2172 void uw_register_transactional(uw_context, void *data, uw_callback commit,
|
|
adam@1328
|
2173 uw_callback rollback, uw_callback_with_retry free);
|
|
adamc@897
|
2174 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adam@1328
|
2175 All side effects in Ur/Web programs need to be compatible with transactions, such that any set of actions can be undone at any time. Thus, you should not perform actions with non-local side effects directly; instead, register handlers to be called when the current transaction is committed or rolled back. The arguments here give an arbitary piece of data to be passed to callbacks, a function to call on commit, a function to call on rollback, and a function to call afterward in either case to clean up any allocated resources. A rollback handler may be called after the associated commit handler has already been called, if some later part of the commit process fails. A free handler is told whether the runtime system expects to retry the current page request after rollback finishes.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2176
|
|
adamc@1085
|
2177 Any of the callbacks may be \texttt{NULL}. To accommodate some stubbornly non-transactional real-world actions like sending an e-mail message, Ur/Web treats \texttt{NULL} \texttt{rollback} callbacks specially. When a transaction commits, all \texttt{commit} actions that have non-\texttt{NULL} rollback actions are tried before any \texttt{commit} actions that have \texttt{NULL} rollback actions. Thus, if a single execution uses only one non-transactional action, and if that action never fails partway through its execution while still causing an observable side effect, then Ur/Web can maintain the transactional abstraction.
|
|
adamc@1085
|
2178
|
|
adam@1329
|
2179 When a request handler ends with multiple pending transactional actions, their handlers are run in a first-in-last-out stack-like order, wherever the order would otherwise be ambiguous.
|
|
adam@1329
|
2180
|
|
adam@1329
|
2181 It is not safe for any of these handlers to access a context-local heap through a pointer returned previously by \texttt{uw\_malloc()}, nor should any new calls to that function be made. Think of the context-local heap as meant for use by the Ur/Web code itself, while transactional handlers execute after the Ur/Web code has finished.
|
|
adam@1329
|
2182
|
|
adamc@1085
|
2183 \item \begin{verbatim}
|
|
adamc@1085
|
2184 void *uw_get_global(uw_context, char *name);
|
|
adamc@1085
|
2185 void uw_set_global(uw_context, char *name, void *data, uw_callback free);
|
|
adamc@1085
|
2186 \end{verbatim}
|
|
adam@1329
|
2187 Different FFI-based extensions may want to associate their own pieces of data with contexts. The global interface provides a way of doing that, where each extension must come up with its own unique key. The \texttt{free} argument to \texttt{uw\_set\_global()} explains how to deallocate the saved data. It is never safe to store \texttt{uw\_malloc()}ed pointers in global variable slots.

2191 \subsection{Writing JavaScript FFI Code}
|
|
adamc@897
|
2192
|
|
adamc@897
|
2193 JavaScript is dynamically typed, so Ur/Web type definitions imply no JavaScript code. The JavaScript identifier for each FFI function is set with the \texttt{jsFunc} directive. Each identifier can be defined in any JavaScript file that you ask to include with the \texttt{script} directive.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2194
|
|
adamc@897
|
2195 In contrast to C FFI code, JavaScript FFI functions take no extra context argument. Their argument lists are as you would expect from their Ur types. Only functions whose ranges take the form \texttt{transaction T} should have side effects; the JavaScript ``return type'' of such a function is \texttt{T}. Here are the conventions for representing Ur values in JavaScript.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2196
|
|
adamc@897
|
2197 \begin{itemize}
|
|
adamc@897
|
2198 \item Integers, floats, strings, characters, and booleans are represented in the usual JavaScript way.
|
|
adamc@985
|
2199 \item Ur functions are represented in an unspecified way. This means that you should not rely on any details of function representation. Named FFI functions are represented as JavaScript functions with as many arguments as their Ur types specify. To call a non-FFI function \texttt{f} on argument \texttt{x}, run \texttt{execF(f, x)}.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2200 \item An Ur record is represented with a JavaScript record, where Ur field name \texttt{N} translates to JavaScript field name \texttt{\_N}. An exception to this rule is that the empty record is encoded as \texttt{null}.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2201 \item \texttt{option}-like types receive special handling similar to their handling in C. The ``\texttt{None}'' constructor is \texttt{null}, and a use of the ``\texttt{Some}'' constructor on a value \texttt{v} is either \texttt{v}, if the underlying type doesn't need to use \texttt{null}; or \texttt{\{v:v\}} otherwise.
|
|
adamc@985
|
2202 \item Any other datatypes represent a non-value-carrying constructor \texttt{C} as \texttt{"C"} and an application of a constructor \texttt{C} to value \texttt{v} as \texttt{\{n:"C", v:v\}}. This rule only applies to datatypes defined in FFI module signatures; the compiler is free to optimize the representations of other, non-\texttt{option}-like datatypes in arbitrary ways.
|
|
adamc@897
|
2203 \end{itemize}
|
|
adamc@897
|
2204
|
|
adamc@897
|
2205 It is possible to write JavaScript FFI code that interacts with the functional-reactive structure of a document, but this version of the manual doesn't cover the details.

2208 \section{Compiler Phases}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2209
|
|
adamc@552
|
2210 The Ur/Web compiler is unconventional in that it relies on a kind of \emph{heuristic compilation}. Not all valid programs will compile successfully. Informally, programs fail to compile when they are ``too higher order.'' Compiler phases do their best to eliminate different kinds of higher order-ness, but some programs just won't compile. This is a trade-off for producing very efficient executables. Compiled Ur/Web programs use native C representations and require no garbage collection.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2211
|
|
adamc@552
|
2212 In this section, we step through the main phases of compilation, noting what consequences each phase has for effective programming.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2213
|
|
adamc@552
|
2214 \subsection{Parse}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2215
|
|
adamc@552
|
2216 The compiler reads a \texttt{.urp} file, figures out which \texttt{.urs} and \texttt{.ur} files it references, and combines them all into what is conceptually a single sequence of declarations in the core language of Section \ref{core}.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2217
|
|
adamc@552
|
2218 \subsection{Elaborate}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2219
|
|
adamc@552
|
2220 This is where type inference takes place, translating programs into an explicit form with no more wildcards. This phase is the most likely source of compiler error messages.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2221
|
|
adamc@552
|
2222 \subsection{Unnest}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2223
|
|
adamc@552
|
2224 Named local function definitions are moved to the top level, to avoid the need to generate closures.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2225
|
|
adamc@552
|
2226 \subsection{Corify}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2227
|
|
adamc@552
|
2228 Module system features are compiled away, through inlining of functor definitions at application sites. Afterward, most abstraction boundaries are broken, facilitating optimization.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2229
|
|
adamc@552
|
2230 \subsection{Especialize}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2231
|
|
adamc@552
|
2232 Functions are specialized to particular argument patterns. This is an important trick for avoiding the need to maintain any closures at runtime.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2233
|
|
adamc@552
|
2234 \subsection{Untangle}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2235
|
|
adamc@552
|
2236 Remove unnecessary mutual recursion, splitting recursive groups into strongly-connected components.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2237
|
|
adamc@552
|
2238 \subsection{Shake}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2239
|
|
adamc@552
|
2240 Remove all definitions not needed to run the page handlers that are visible in the signature of the last module listed in the \texttt{.urp} file.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2241
|
|
adamc@661
|
2242 \subsection{Rpcify}
|
|
adamc@661
|
2243
|
|
adamc@661
|
2244 Pieces of code are determined to be client-side, server-side, neither, or both, by figuring out which standard library functions might be needed to execute them. Calls to server-side functions (e.g., $\mt{query}$) within mixed client-server code are identified and replaced with explicit remote calls. Some mixed functions may be converted to continuation-passing style to facilitate this transformation.
|
|
adamc@661
|
2245
|
|
adamc@661
|
2246 \subsection{Untangle, Shake}
|
|
adamc@661
|
2247
|
|
adamc@661
|
2248 Repeat these simplifications.
|
|
adamc@661
|
2249
|
|
adamc@553
|
2250 \subsection{\label{tag}Tag}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2251
|
|
adamc@552
|
2252 Assign a URL name to each link and form action. It is important that these links and actions are written as applications of named functions, because such names are used to generate URL patterns. A URL pattern has a name built from the full module path of the named function, followed by the function name, with all pieces separated by slashes. The path of a functor application is based on the name given to the result, rather than the path of the functor itself.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2253
|
|
adamc@552
|
2254 \subsection{Reduce}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2255
|
|
adamc@552
|
2256 Apply definitional equality rules to simplify the program as much as possible. This effectively includes inlining of every non-recursive definition.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2257
|
|
adamc@552
|
2258 \subsection{Unpoly}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2259
|
|
adamc@552
|
2260 This phase specializes polymorphic functions to the specific arguments passed to them in the program. If the program contains real polymorphic recursion, Unpoly will be insufficient to avoid later error messages about too much polymorphism.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2261
|
|
adamc@552
|
2262 \subsection{Specialize}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2263
|
|
adamc@558
|
2264 Replace uses of parameterized datatypes with versions specialized to specific parameters. As for Unpoly, this phase will not be effective enough in the presence of polymorphic recursion or other fancy uses of impredicative polymorphism.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2265
|
|
adamc@552
|
2266 \subsection{Shake}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2267
|
|
adamc@558
|
2268 Here the compiler repeats the earlier Shake phase.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2269
|
|
adamc@552
|
2270 \subsection{Monoize}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2271
|
|
adamc@552
|
2272 Programs are translated to a new intermediate language without polymorphism or non-$\mt{Type}$ constructors. Error messages may pop up here if earlier phases failed to remove such features.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2273
|
|
adamc@552
|
2274 This is the stage at which concrete names are generated for cookies, tables, and sequences. They are named following the same convention as for links and actions, based on module path information saved from earlier stages. Table and sequence names separate path elements with underscores instead of slashes, and they are prefixed by \texttt{uw\_}.
|
|
adamc@664
|
2275
|
|
adamc@552
|
2276 \subsection{MonoOpt}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2277
|
|
adamc@552
|
2278 Simple algebraic laws are applied to simplify the program, focusing especially on efficient imperative generation of HTML pages.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2279
|
|
adamc@552
|
2280 \subsection{MonoUntangle}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2281
|
|
adamc@552
|
2282 Unnecessary mutual recursion is broken up again.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2283
|
|
adamc@552
|
2284 \subsection{MonoReduce}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2285
|
|
adamc@552
|
2286 Equivalents of the definitional equality rules are applied to simplify programs, with inlining again playing a major role.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2287
|
|
adamc@552
|
2288 \subsection{MonoShake, MonoOpt}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2289
|
|
adamc@552
|
2290 Unneeded declarations are removed, and basic optimizations are repeated.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2291
|
|
adamc@552
|
2292 \subsection{Fuse}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2293
|
|
adamc@552
|
2294 The compiler tries to simplify calls to recursive functions whose results are immediately written as page output. The write action is pushed inside the function definitions to avoid allocation of intermediate results.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2295
|
|
adamc@552
|
2296 \subsection{MonoUntangle, MonoShake}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2297
|
|
adamc@552
|
2298 Fuse often creates more opportunities to remove spurious mutual recursion.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2299
|
|
adamc@552
|
2300 \subsection{Pathcheck}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2301
|
|
adamc@552
|
2302 The compiler checks that no link or action name has been used more than once.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2303
|
|
adamc@552
|
2304 \subsection{Cjrize}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2305
|
|
adamc@552
|
2306 The program is translated to what is more or less a subset of C. If any use of functions as data remains at this point, the compiler will complain.
|
|
adamc@552
|
2307
|
|
adamc@552

2308 \subsection{C Compilation and Linking}
|
|
adamc@552
|
2309
|
|
adamc@552
|
2310 The output of the last phase is pretty-printed as C source code and passed to GCC.
