Expand description
Declaration of built-in (scalar) functions. This module contains built-in functions’ enumeration and metadata.
Generally, a function has:
-
a signature
-
a return type, that is a function of the incoming argument’s types
-
the computation, that must accept each valid signature
-
Signature: see
Signature -
Return type: a function
(arg_types) -> return_type. E.g. for sqrt, (f32) -> f32, (f64) -> f64.
This module also has a set of coercion rules to improve user experience: if an argument i32 is passed to a function that supports f64, it is coerced to f64.
