Surface rename of the signed integer family: s1..s64 become i1..i64
(u1..u64, usize, isize unchanged). 'string' keeps the s-prefix arm in
name classification; width parsing moves to the i-prefix arm next to
isize.
Internal TypeId tags follow the surface (.s8/.s16/.s32/.s64 ->
.i8/.i16/.i32/.i64), as do mono-key mangle fragments (ptr_i64,
tu_i64_bool) and all display/diagnostic formatting (i{d}).
Migrated in the same sweep: stdlib + examples + issue repros + FFI C
companions (shared symbol names like ffi_id_i64), expected
stdout/stderr/ir snapshots, specs.md, readme.md, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md,
implementation_plan.md, docs/, issue writeups. Vendored stb_image and
historical flow state left untouched.
zig build test: 426/426; examples suite: 595/595.
try foo() catch (e) { } // legal
try foo() catch e { } // parse error with a migration hint
Same capture style as the for-loop. All four catch shapes keep working
with the parenthesized binding — block, bare-expression body, and the
== match sugar — and the no-binding forms are unchanged. onfail follows
the same rule (onfail (e) { }); its expression-cleanup form is
disambiguated by the paren-group-before-brace lookahead, so
onfail (f()); stays an expression cleanup.
AST unchanged; the printer renders the parens; the #run escape help
text updated. Corpus migrated (57 catch + 3 onfail bindings, in-source
parser test strings, specs incl. grammar rules, readme untouched —
no catch examples there).
Regression: examples/1157-diagnostics-catch-binding-needs-parens.sx;
re-captured stderr for 1010/1013/1037/1123 (migrated source echoed in
carets + help text).
Extends 1036-errors-failable-smoke with an end-to-end Composition section
covering the E5.1 forms: a failable closure literal through a Closure(...)
param (try-propagated, caught), a non-failable closure literal widened
into a failable bare slot (∅-widening adapter), and generic ($T)
value-carrying failable composition. Completes E5.4 — the per-feature
examples (1039-1045) remain the focused units; this is the integrated
smoke.
Break the monolithic examples/50-smoke.sx into 30 focused per-section examples,
filed into their category blocks (basic/types/comptime/memory/protocols/ffi),
each carrying only the top-level decls its section references (the protocols
section keeps the full preamble — its deps flow through UFCS method calls that
name-based extraction can't see). Outputs verified identical to the original
section blocks.
Add examples/1036-errors-failable-smoke.sx — an end-to-end error-handling example
(the E5.4 work): named + inferred error sets consumed via destructure, try (in
helpers), catch (bare-expr / match-body / diverging / no-binding), or
value-terminator, onfail+defer interleave, and error.X value + {} tag
interpolation.
Remove examples/50-smoke.sx. Suite: 324 passed, 0 failed.
