Phase D of the unified resolver: make the TypeTable safe to key by nominal
identity before same-name type shadows land (Phase E). Behavior-preserving —
nominal_id=0 means structural (today's keying, byte-identical); single-author
names intern to the same TypeId as before.
types.zig:
- StructInfo/EnumInfo/UnionInfo/TaggedUnionInfo/ErrorSetInfo gain
`nominal_id: u32 = 0`. hash/eql fold it into the nominal arms ONLY, and only
when nonzero, so legacy (structural) interning hashes/compares byte-identically.
- internNominal(info, nominal_id): stamps the id into the nominal arm then
interns; nonzero id on a non-nominal info trips an assert.
- updatePreservingKey(id, info): field-fill that asserts the intern key is
unchanged (replaces the forward-decl stub→full pattern).
- replaceKeyedInfo(id, info): the one legitimate re-key (anon rename
__anon → Parent.field); removes the stale key and installs the new one.
- findUniqueByName: quarantined findByName that asserts ≤1 match.
- type_decl_tids: decl-node → TypeId identity map (the fn_decl_fids analogue),
consumed by the resolver in Phase E.
Ban raw TypeTable.update outside types.zig (the acceptance bar): every caller
in lower.zig / type_bridge.zig / protocols.zig is reclassified — forward-decl
field fills route through updatePreservingKey, qualifyAnonType's rename through
replaceKeyedInfo. The raw `update` method is removed. Inline named type-decl
registration ("current winners") routes through internNominal(info, 0).
Tests (types.test.zig): forward-decl field fill (stable key), anon rename
(re-key), generic struct instantiation, type-returning function, parameterized
protocol value struct, same display-name → distinct nominal ids, plus an
old==new assertion (internNominal(.,0) byte-identical to legacy intern),
findUniqueByName, and the type_decl_tids identity map.
Gate: zig build (0), zig build test (421/421), run_examples (477, byte-identical),
m3te ios-sim build via worktree binary (0). No shadows registered; stubs intact.
Resolves issue 0090. The `{}` integer formatter mis-rendered both ends of
the 64-bit range:
- `int_to_string` computed the magnitude as `0 - n`, which overflows for
`s64::MIN` (its magnitude is unrepresentable as a positive s64) — the
value stayed negative, the digit loop ran zero times, so only `-`
printed. It now extracts digits straight from `n` (per-digit
`|n % 10|`, `n` truncating toward zero), never negating MIN.
- `any_to_string`'s `case int:` formatted every integer as s64, so a u64
all-ones value printed as `-1`. There was no `uint` type-category to
distinguish signedness. Added an additive `type_is_unsigned(T)`
reflection builtin (static fold + dynamic interp/LLVM paths, mirroring
`type_name`), backed by the new `TypeTable.isUnsignedInt` predicate, and
a `uint_to_string` formatter (unsigned decimal via long-division over
four 16-bit limbs). `case int:` routes through `type_is_unsigned(type)`.
The 16-bit-limb split is factored into a shared `decompose_u16x4`, now
reused by `int_to_hex_string` (no second unsigned-math routine).
Regression: examples/0046-basic-int-formatter-extremes pins both extremes
plus a width spread; unit tests cover `isUnsignedInt`. Docs (specs.md
representation note, readme std API) updated for unsigned/extreme `{}`
behavior. IR snapshots refreshed for the two new std functions.
First sema/types step. Implemented in the IR layer (ir/types.zig +
type_bridge.zig + lower.zig), NOT src/sema.zig — lowering doesn't consume
sema; the frontend Type is LSP-only. Mirrors how enums are handled.
- ir/types.zig: new `.error_set` TypeInfo kind (ErrorSetInfo {name, tags:
[]u32}; identity = name, like enum) with a u32 runtime layout (size/align
4, LLVM i32) per the locked error-slot ABI. New TagRegistry on TypeTable
(global tag pool: name -> u32, monotonic, id 0 reserved for "no error").
internTag/getTagName/errorSetType helpers; `.error_set` arms in all 7
exhaustive switches + findByName.
- emit_llvm: toLLVMTypeInfo -> i32. print: writeType -> set name.
- type_bridge: resolveInlineErrorSet (mirrors resolveInlineUnion) +
.error_set_decl arm.
- lower.zig: registerErrorSetDecl (rejects empty `error { }` with a
diagnostic) wired into both top-level decl switches + the block-local one.
- tests: ir/types.test (TagRegistry 0-reserved + identity; errorSetType u32
layout + named display + dedup; sorted storage) and ir/type_bridge.test
(decl -> type + tag interning + re-resolve dedup).
End-to-end: `Foo :: error { A, B }` + main compiles + runs (exit 0) — first
ERR syntax to survive the full pipeline; empty set rejects with a diagnostic.
Inferred bare `!`, error.X value, and == typing deferred to slice 2 / E1.2.
zig build, zig build test, and 254/254 examples green.
Add a `pack` variant to IR `TypeInfo` — an ordered, interned sequence of
per-position element types (`PackInfo { elements: []const TypeId }`) — with
constructor (`packType`), structural equality + hashing, and a `pack(T0, …)`
printer. A pack is comptime-only: it lowers to flat positional args before
codegen and has no runtime layout, so `sizeOf` and `toLLVMType` bail loudly
rather than inventing a size. 5 unit tests (N=0/1/3, dedup, order/arity
distinctness, distinct-from-tuple, printer).
Also: give TypeTable an arena for the slices its constructors dupe (freed at
deinit), and add the missing `usize`/`isize` arms to `sizeOf` (a latent
non-exhaustive switch) so types.test.zig compiles and runs leak-free.
