parseFnDecl now calls parseOptionalExternExport() after the callconv
slot and stores the modifier on FnDecl.extern_export. For 'extern' the
body is ';' (an empty-block placeholder — the modifier carries the
linkage, no *_expr node, per the naming constraint). Both fn-decl
lookahead predicates (isFunctionDef, hasFnBodyAfterArrow) now treat
kw_extern/kw_export as fn-body markers beside kw_callconv, so
'(...) -> R extern;' is recognized as a fn def rather than a fn-type
const.
Per user feedback, decision 4 ("library separate") is REVISED: extern
carries an optional LIB + "csym" axis mirroring '#foreign LIB "csym"',
so it is a true #foreign superset (Gate A->B requirement — the Part B
migration of 466 #foreign uses across 6 libs must preserve each
symbol's library). Added FnDecl.extern_lib/extern_name and
VarDecl.extern_lib (beside is_extern/extern_name).
All unconsumed by lowering: extern parses, but a fn still errors at
sema (body produces no value). Suite green (443 unit / 633 corpus).
lock commit.
Add ast.ExternExportModifier { none, extern_, export_ } beside
CallingConvention; FnDecl.extern_export and VarDecl.is_extern/extern_name
fields (all defaulting to absent); and Parser.parseOptionalExternExport()
mirroring parseOptionalCallConv.
None of this is consumed by a decl path yet — no user-facing behavior
change, corpus diff empty. Two inline parser unit tests pin the helper's
keyword mapping and the field defaults. Phase 1.0 wires the helper into
the fn-decl path. lock commit.
Lex 'extern' and 'export' as keywords beside 'callconv': new token.Tag
variants + keywords StaticStringMap entries + LSP semantic-token keyword
classification. Adds a 'lex linkage keywords' unit test.
Tokens only — parser/AST plumbing and lowering land in later phases.
Corpus sweep confirmed no .sx identifier collides with the new reserved
words. lock commit per the cadence rule.
Two new workstreams:
- ASM: inline assembly — asm { "tmpl", "=r" -> T, "r" = expr, clobbers(.…) },
multi-return tuples; lowers via the existing llvm_api.c (no shim).
- FFI-linkage: add extern/export postfix keywords, migrate every #foreign onto
them, then purge 'foreign' from the tree (end-state invariant).
Drop current/ from .gitignore so plans + checkpoints are tracked normally
(the dir was ignored; only checkpoints had been force-added). Includes
docs/inline-asm-design.md. specs.md change left uncommitted.
