Paul Berry bd7ef48815 Change SharedRecordType abstract getters to return lists.
Previously these abstract getters were typed as returning
iterables. Although in principle, changing the return types to lists
constrains the implementations more, in practice it makes no
difference because the only implementations are in the CFE, analzyer,
and the mini_types shared tests, and those implementations already
return lists anyhow.

Changing the abstact getters to return lists will simplify future work
by allowing code that interacts with the base SharedRecordType class
to index into the lists rather than having to iterate through them.

Dart Kernel

Dart Kernel is a small high-level language derived from Dart. It is designed for use as an intermediate format for whole-program analysis and transformations, and to be consumed by codegen and execution backends.

The kernel language has an in-memory representation in Dart and can be serialized as binary or text.

Both the kernel language and its implementations are unstable and are under development.

This package contains the Dart part of the implementation and contains:

  • A transformable IR for the kernel language
  • Serialization of kernel code

Note: The APIs in this package are in an early state; developers should be careful about depending on this package. In particular, there is no semver contract for release versions of this package. Please depend directly on individual versions.

See ast.dart for the in-memory IR, or binary.md for a description of the binary format. For now, the textual format is very ad-hoc and cannot be parsed back in.
