Example 0717 now asserts the (token, index) Diag for ALL SIX raise sites
in cli.sx, closing the two the reviewer found still unasserted:
- zero-arg UnknownCommand: parse([], ...) -> index -1, token ""
(the args.len == 0 sub-branch of cli.sx:237, distinct from the
one-arg too-few form already covered at index 0 / token args[0]).
- TooManyFlags (cli.sx:256): a command declaring 17 flag specs (> the
inline 16 cap) is rejected, not truncated -> index -1, token command.
The three index==-1 cases (zero-arg, too-many, missing-req) seed their
Diag with a sentinel before parse, so each assertion proves parse WROTE
the -1/"" rather than merely matching the `.{}` default. Verified
non-vacuous: flipping any expected value makes that line FAIL.
Test-only: cli.sx logic and src/ are untouched.
Extend example 0717 to pin the offending token VIEW and its args index
for every failure the parser's Diag populates: unknown-command,
unknown-group, too-few-args, missing-value, value-eats-flag, and the
missing-required index. Closes the test-coverage gap flagged in review;
cli.sx parser logic unchanged.
Extend std/cli.sx with a zero-heap argument parser that the caller drives
over a logical argv ([]string), separate from the F3.1 os_args accessor.
Grammar: <group> <command> [--flag VALUE | --bool]... [--json] [-- rest...]
- (group, command) dispatched against a caller-provided Command table;
no match -> error.UnknownCommand.
- value-taking vs boolean flags fixed by each command's FlagSpec list;
--json is a reserved global boolean surfaced as parsed.json.
- `--` or the first bare operand ends flag parsing; the remainder is
parsed.rest (operand views).
Heap discipline (heap-discipline.md): zero heap, zero copy. group/command/
flag values/rest are all VIEWS into args. Parsed is a by-value stack struct;
flag presence/values live in a fixed [16]FlagValue inline array indexed by
spec position (no per-flag allocation, no context.allocator). The flag-spec
list and command table are caller storage passed as views.
Failure surfacing (no silent skip): unknown command, unknown flag, a
value-flag missing its value, and an absent required flag each raise a
specific CliError variant; a caller-owned Diag records the offending token
(index + view) before each raise, since error tags carry no data.
examples/0717 drives the parser over explicit []string vectors: a valid
group/command/--flag/--bool/--json case (asserting parsed values + that
values are views into argv), subcommand dispatch, `--`/bare-operand
separators, and the five failure variants each asserted via destructure +
Diag. zig build && zig build test && run_examples.sh green (385 passed).
