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).
The reserved-type-name binding diagnostic fired correctly but underlined the
enclosing statement / if / while / for / match / protocol / #objc_class block
because every binding-name check reused the parent `node.span`.
Thread each binding name's own span through the AST and parser, and pass it to
`checkBindingNames`:
- ast: add name spans to VarDecl, DestructureDecl, If/WhileExpr, ForExpr
(capture + index), MatchArm, Catch/OnFailStmt, Protocol/ForeignMethodDecl.
- parser: populate each span at the binding site from the name token's loc;
destructure reuses each target identifier's own span.
- semantic_diagnostics: every checkBindingName call now passes the binding's
own span — no site falls back to node.span. fn/lambda params already used
Param.name_span.
Carets now land on the offending identifier itself. New regression
examples/1125 asserts the protocol default-body and sx-defined #objc_class
method param spans; 0125/1119-1124 expected updated to the precise carets.
The reserved/builtin-type-name binding diagnostic was a hand-walked subset
of binding-bearing AST nodes with a silent `else => {}`, so each review
found another syntactic binding form that bypassed it and hit the original
LLVM verifier abort: destructure names (`s2, x := …`), `impl` method
params/locals, and `if` / `while` / `for` / match-arm / `catch` / `onfail`
captures.
Rewrite `checkBindingNames` (src/ir/semantic_diagnostics.zig) as an
EXHAUSTIVE `switch` over every `Node.Data` tag with NO `else` arm — a future
binding-bearing node type now fails to compile until it is handled here, so
coverage is enforced by the compiler instead of a hand-maintained list. The
check stays in the pre-lowering semantic pass rather than moving to the
`Scope.put` scope-registration choke point: lowering is lazy, so an
uncalled function's bindings never reach `Scope.put`, yet they must still be
rejected at their declaration (e.g. the never-called `takes_u8` in 1119).
No lowering special-case; `lower.zig` unchanged.
Regression tests (fail-before: LLVM abort or silent accept → pass-after:
clean diagnostic, exit 1):
- 1121 control-flow: destructure, if/while bindings, for capture+index,
match-arm capture
- 1122 impl-block method: reserved param AND reserved local
- 1123 catch + onfail tag bindings
- 1124 destructure name reserved in an imported module
Existing 0125 / 1119 / 0135 / 1120 tests kept; full suite 368 passed.
