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).
A braced `defer` body routed through `parseExpr` + a mandatory trailing
`;`, so it parsed the `{ … }` as a block-EXPRESSION whose statement loop
doesn't handle a destructure decl or a `catch`-statement — `defer { v, e
:= f(); … }` and `defer { x() catch e … }` failed with "expected ';'",
and even `defer { stmt; }` needed a spurious trailing semicolon.
Now the `kw_defer` arm parses a braced body with `parseBlock` (the same
path `onfail` uses), so every statement form works; the bare-expression
form (`defer expr;`) is unchanged. `in_defer_body` is still set before
parsing, so the cleanup-body control-flow bans (return/break/continue/
try/raise) and the E1.7 failable-absorption check still fire.
Resolves the `defer` manifestation of issue 0065 (the general
value-block-in-binding-position destructure remains open). Regression:
examples/1050-errors-defer-block-body.sx.
