Reserved type-name spellings (s1, s2, u8, …) can now be used as value
identifiers two ways, resolving issue 0089:
1. Backtick raw identifier: a leading backtick (`s2) lexes to an
.identifier token carrying a new Token.is_raw flag, with the backtick
excluded from the text. A raw identifier is never type-classified — the
parser skips Type.fromName for it — so it is always a value identifier.
The flag threads to VarDecl.is_raw / Param.is_raw at binding sites, and
the reserved-type-name check (UnknownTypeChecker) skips raw bindings.
Because the token tag stays .identifier, the escape works in every
position (local, global, param, field, fn name, struct member, later
reference) with no per-site parser change.
2. #import c exemption: c_import.zig synthesizes foreign decls with
Param.is_raw = true, so generated C param names that collide with
reserved type names (s1, s2) import unedited.
A bare reserved-name binding in sx still errors (issue 0076 preserved):
the is_raw-gated skip only fires for backtick / foreign names, and a raw
binding's address-of / autoref lowering stays correct because every
occurrence is an .identifier, never a .type_expr.
Tests: examples/0151 (backtick, every position),
examples/1220 (foreign exemption, compiled+run), lexer unit tests.
1119 (bare-binding rejection) stays green. specs.md + readme.md updated.
Finishes Phase E4. `process.exit` / `assert` now report the caller's location.
#caller_location + Source_Location:
- new `hash_caller_location` token (lexer) + a leaf `caller_location` AST node
(parser primary-expr; sema + lsp arms).
- `Source_Location :: struct { file; line; col; func }` in std.sx.
- expandCallDefaults rewrites a `#caller_location` param default to a marker
carrying the CALL site's span + source_file.
- lowerCallerLocation synthesizes the struct: file + line:col via
errors.SourceLoc.compute over the diagnostics file→source map, stamped with
the enclosing (caller) function name. inferExprType resolves it to
Source_Location. Explicitly forwarding a Source_Location through an inner
call preserves the outermost site.
namespaced default-param expansion (pre-existing crash): expandCallDefaults
bailed on field_access callees, so `mod.fn(args)` with an omitted defaulted
param passed too few args → LLVM "incorrect number of arguments". Now resolves
the namespace fd (by field / qualified name); method-on-value calls (where
`self` shifts the count) stay excluded. Prerequisite for process.exit/assert
(always called namespaced) taking `loc = #caller_location`.
comptime flush: interp.callForeign flushes the interpreter's buffered print
output before invoking any host symbol, so a comptime diagnostic emitted just
before a terminating `_exit` (process.exit at comptime) survives.
process.exit/assert take `loc: Source_Location = #caller_location`; assert
prints `ASSERTION FAILED at <file>:<line>: <msg>`. examples 250 (assert
file:line), 251 (caller-location + forwarding). The two ffi-objc *.ir
snapshots are regenerated — adding Source_Location to std.sx renumbers the
global string pool the type/field-name tables index (benign, identical IR).
Parser-only second step of the error-handling stream. No sema/codegen.
- token: 4 keywords — `raise`, `try`, `catch`, `onfail`.
- ast: RaiseStmt, TryExpr, CatchExpr {operand, binding?, body, is_match_body},
OnFailStmt {binding?, body}.
- parser:
- `try` is a unary prefix (binds tighter than `or`; right-recursive so it
stacks under `xx`/`@`/etc).
- `or` is already left-associative (precedence-climbing loop) — no change.
- `catch` is a postfix with four body shapes (no-binding block / block /
bare-expr / `== { case }` match-body, the latter reusing parseMatchBody
with the binding as subject).
- `raise EXPR;` and `onfail [e] { } | onfail EXPR;` statements; `error`
parses in expression position so `raise error.X` works; raise rejected
in expression position and inside an onfail body (in_onfail_body flag).
- consumer-aware `|>`: pipes the LHS into the head call through a
try/catch/or wrapper, preserving the wrapper.
- print: printExpr + match-arm printing for round-trips (anyerror!void to
break the printExpr<->printMatchArms inferred-error-set loop).
- sema/lsp: exhaustive switch arms for the 4 nodes + 4 keyword tokens.
- tests: ~22 inline parser tests (precedence, all catch forms, both
rejections, pipe cases, round-trip prints incl. match-body).
zig build, zig build test (264), and 254/254 examples green.
Make-green half of the cadence step started in A1. Wires the
`#selector` directive end-to-end:
- Lexer token `hash_selector` at src/token.zig + lookup row in
src/lexer.zig.
- AST field `selector_override: ?[]const u8 = null` on
`ForeignMethodDecl` (src/ast.zig).
- Parser block in src/parser.zig that mirrors
`#jni_method_descriptor` — both occupy the same slot after the
optional `-> ReturnType` and before the body/terminator. Not
mutually exclusive at parse time.
- LSP semantic-token list (src/lsp/server.zig) updated.
- Lowering: `deriveObjcSelector` returns
`{ sel, keyword_count, is_override }`. When `is_override` is true,
the selector string is the user's literal and `keyword_count` is
the colon count in that literal. Both `lowerObjcMethodCall` and
`lowerObjcStaticCall` use the result.
Diagnostic policy when override colon-count ≠ call arity:
- Default mangling path: stays an error (`.err`). The user can fix
the sx-side name to produce the right keyword count.
- Override path: downgrades to a warning (`.warn`). Rationale:
Obj-C's `objc_msgSend` doesn't validate colon-vs-arg the way JNI's
`GetMethodID` validates the descriptor — the runtime dispatches
regardless and the wrong-arity case becomes silent calling-
convention corruption. The compiler is the last line of defense
for this typo class, but the warning preserves the override's
escape-hatch character (deliberate mismatches still proceed).
Snapshot for `examples/ffi-objc-dsl-06-selector-override.sx` flips
from the pre-3.2 parser-error to working output:
static override non-null: true
The mismatch diagnostic text in
`examples/ffi-objc-dsl-04-mismatch.sx`'s snapshot is updated to
drop the "once that lands (3.2)" phrasing now that 3.2 is here.
165/165 example tests.
Flip the surface semantics for type-introducer directives: bare
`Foo :: #jni_class("path") { ... }` now means "DEFINE a new Java class
at that path" (sx-side provides the implementations). The `#foreign`
prefix modifier flips it back to "REFERENCE an existing class on the
foreign runtime." Matches how `#foreign` already reads in sx for C
function declarations (`printf :: ... #foreign;`).
Foo :: #foreign #jni_class("path/to/Foo") { ... } // reference
Foo :: #jni_class("path/to/Foo") { ... } // define
Foo :: #jni_main #jni_class("path/to/Foo") { ... } // define + main Activity
Compiler-side changes:
- New `hash_jni_main` lexer token (the launchable-Activity marker).
Existing `hash_foreign` is reused; no new modifier token there.
- `ForeignClassDecl` gains `is_foreign: bool` + `is_main: bool`.
`ForeignMethodDecl` gains `body: ?*Node` so defined-class methods
can carry sx-side implementations (foreign-class methods stay
`;`-terminated).
- Parser learns `tryParseForeignClassPrefix` — peek-and-consume the
modifier tokens, then dispatch to the unchanged
`parseForeignClassDecl` with the flags threaded through.
- Sema rejects two illegal combinations: `#foreign + #jni_main`
(can't be both an external reference and the app's main entry),
and bodied methods on `#foreign` decls (foreign methods are
runtime-provided).
- Lower's foreign-class dispatch errors on non-foreign decls with
a pointer to the runtime-synthesis follow-up; defined-class
codegen (Java class emission, RegisterNatives wiring, manifest
entry generation) lands in a separate session.
Migration:
- `library/modules/platform/android_jni.sx`: all four foreign class
decls (`Activity`, `Window`, `View`, `WindowInsets`) gain `#foreign`.
- `examples/ffi-jni-class-{01..08}*.sx`: every test's `#jni_class` /
`#jni_interface` / `#objc_class` / `#objc_protocol` / `#swift_class`
/ `#swift_struct` / `#swift_protocol` usage gains `#foreign`. All
9 files mechanical perl rename; snapshots unchanged.
Verified locally:
- `zig build test` clean.
- `bash tests/run_examples.sh` 129/129.
- `bash tests/cross_compile.sh` 3/3.
- Chess APK rebuilds, reinstalls, launches on Pixel; safe-area
clearance preserved.
New `hash_jni_env` lexer token; `parsePrimary` dispatches to a small
`parseJniEnvBlock` that consumes `(env) { body }` and returns a new
`JniEnvBlock` AST node (env_expr + body block).
Sema's analyzeNode arm recurses into env + body inside a pushed
scope; findNodeAtOffset descends through both children for go-to-
definition.
Lowering treats it as a syntactic wrapper around the block: env is
evaluated for side effects, body lowers as a normal block. The TL
push/pop semantics (synthesizing the env stack so `#jni_call`'s env
arg can become optional) land in 2.16b.
`expectSemicolonAfter` recognises `jni_env_block` as block-form so
statement-position uses don't need a trailing `;` — matches `if` /
`while` / `for` / bare blocks.
Test runs through the block body and prints expected output; xfail
snapshot flips to green. 127/127 examples green.
Six new lexer tokens (`hash_jni_interface`, `hash_objc_class`,
`hash_objc_protocol`, `hash_swift_class`, `hash_swift_struct`,
`hash_swift_protocol`) join the existing `hash_jni_class`. All seven
share the body grammar from Phases 2.1–2.6.
AST refactored: `JniClassDecl` → `ForeignClassDecl` with a
`runtime: ForeignRuntime` enum discriminator; `JniMethodDecl` →
`ForeignMethodDecl` (with `jni_descriptor_override` renamed for
clarity since it's JNI-only); `JniFieldDecl` → `ForeignFieldDecl`;
`JniClassMember` → `ForeignClassMember`. AST variant renamed
`jni_class_decl` → `foreign_class_decl`.
`parseForeignClassDecl` takes the runtime as a parameter; the
`parseConstBinding` dispatch table now maps each of the seven
directive tokens to its `ForeignRuntime` variant via
`foreignRuntimeForCurrent`. No codegen yet — Phase 3 picks up Obj-C
runtime, Phase 4 picks up Swift. Runtime-specific body items (fields,
descriptor override) are validated at sema time in later steps.
126/126 examples green.
New `hash_jni_method_descriptor` lexer token + LSP keyword
classification. `JniMethodDecl` gains `desc_override: ?[]const u8`.
parseJniClassDecl accepts an optional `#jni_method_descriptor("...")`
clause between the return type and the terminating `;`, stashing the
literal as the override. Auto-derivation in Phase 2.8 will treat
this as the precedence override when present.
The 2.6 xfail commit (0ed4799) used the working name `#desc` in its
test file; this commit renames to `#jni_method_descriptor` for
parallel naming with the rest of the FFI directive set (`#jni_call`,
`#jni_class`, `#jni_env`, ...). Test snapshot flips xfail → green.
125/125 examples green.
Two new lexer tokens `hash_extends` / `hash_implements` (global tokens,
context-meaningful inside #jni_class bodies — same pattern as #using).
`JniClassDecl.methods` refactored into `members: []const JniClassMember`,
a tagged union with `method` / `extends` / `implements` variants.
Body loop dispatches on the leading token: `#extends Alias;` /
`#implements Alias;` consume the alias name and push a non-method
member; everything else falls through to the existing method path.
The alias on the right of `#extends` is the sx-side name (resolved
to the corresponding #jni_class at sema time in a later step), not
the foreign Java path — the path lives only in the alias's own
directive arg.
123/123 examples green.
New `hash_jni_class` token + lexer entry, `JniClassDecl` AST node
(alias + java path; body deferred to 2.2+), `parseJniClassDecl`
consuming `("...") { }` and rejecting non-empty bodies for now.
Sema registers the alias as a type_alias symbol; LSP classifies
the directive as a keyword. The 2.0 xfail snapshot flips to
`parse-only ok`, exit 0.
120/120 examples green; zig test clean.
98/98 regression tests pass; ffi-objc-call-01-parse flips from
parse-error xfail to passing.
Shape: `#<intrinsic>(ReturnT)(args...)`. The return-type generic
sits in the first parens, the actual call args in the second. All
three intrinsics share the same parse rule; only the kind tag and
the downstream lowering differ.
token.zig | three new hash_* tags
lexer.zig | matches the directive keywords with the same
isIdentContinue boundary check as the rest
ast.zig | FfiIntrinsicCall node with `kind`, `return_type`,
and `args` fields; FfiIntrinsicKind enum
parser.zig | parseFfiIntrinsicCall — same call-arg loop shape
as Call, with the leading return-type slot
sema.zig | analyzeNode + findNodeAtOffset arms walk the args
+ return-type child nodes
lsp/server.zig | classify the new tokens as ST.keyword
Codegen for the new intrinsic isn't wired yet — examples that
reach the body of a non-suppressed call would fail at lowering.
The current parse test uses `inline if false { ... }` to suppress
the dead branch, so sema/codegen don't see the node. Phase 1.3+
adds the lowering and the gate comes off.
Chess Android + iOS-sim builds clean — no regression on the
existing `objc_msgSend` cast pattern or the JNI helper.
