make_enum(name, variants: []EnumVariant) -> Type mints a nominal enum
from a variant list passed as a VALUE, not a hardcoded literal — the
open-ended form the channel-result constructors are special cases of.
Pure sx over declare/define; no compiler machinery.
Because variants is an ordinary comptime value, a non-generic builder
can ASSEMBLE it in a local before minting. examples/0620: build_level
fills a local array, then make_enum mints Level from it — exercising
define decoding a value-arg SLICE (decodeVariantElements' slice branch),
vs. the inline .[ … ] array the 0614-0618 examples pass directly.
No compiler change (locks existing capability). Suite green (678).
declare now takes the type's NAME — `declare(name) -> Type` — because the
compiler needs it at compile time to register the forward type, which is
what makes self-reference resolve. EnumInfo drops `name` (it lives on
declare now); define completes the handle's body in place (the slot is
already named).
Self-reference mechanism (evalComptimeType): before lowering a comptime
type expression, preregisterForwardTypes scans it (and a called ctor fn's
body) for `declare("Name")` calls and registers each as an empty forward
nominal type AND binds it as a type alias. The alias is essential: a
`Name :: ctor()` decl makes `Name` a const_decl author, so a `*Name`
self-reference resolves through the forward-ALIAS path
(type_aliases_by_source), which a bare findByName registration doesn't
satisfy. With both in place `*Name` resolves to the forward slot at lower
time; the interp's declare returns that same slot; define fills it.
List :: make_list();
make_list :: () -> Type {
h := declare("List");
return define(h, .enum(.{ variants = .[
EnumVariant.{ name = "cons", payload = *List },
EnumVariant.{ name = "nil", payload = void } ] }));
}
Verified: cons/nil construct + match (direct and through the pointer),
multi-node list traversal via a recursive `count(*List)`. meta.sx
RecvResult/TryResult + examples 0614/0615/0617 updated to declare(name);
full suite green (673).
The compiler concept is declare/define (comptime type construction); the
old "reify" framing is gone from the entire repo.
- Rename: PLAN-REIFY → PLAN-METATYPE, CHECKPOINT-REIFY → CHECKPOINT-METATYPE,
PLAN-POST-REIFY → PLAN-POST-METATYPE (both rewritten around declare/define);
examples 0614/0615/0617 → comptime-metatype-* (+ their expected/ triplets),
headers rewritten.
- Scrub reify from design/execution-evolution-roadmap.md (§7 step 3 contracts,
§8.1, §9 decisions, §10 gates) → declare/define / comptime type construction.
- core.sx prelude pointer + parser.test.zig surface lock updated to the
declare/define builtins (define(handle, info) -> Type; EnumInfo.name).
No behavior change; renamed examples match their renamed snapshots. Full
suite green (673), all unit tests pass. Zero `reify` tokens remain in
src/docs/sx/examples.
Per the directive to strip reify entirely: the sx `reify(info)` one-shot is
removed. `define(handle, info)` now RETURNS the (completed) handle, so the
one-shot constructor chains as a single expression:
T :: define(declare(), .enum(.{ name = "T", variants = ... }));
- meta.sx: drop reify; RecvResult/TryResult use `define(declare(), …)`.
- interp .define returns the handle type_tag (was void); call.zig lowers it
with `Type` result and sets the info arg's target type to TypeInfo so the
intercepted call still infers the `.enum(…)` literal.
- returnExprMintsType: a type-fn body that returns `define(…)` (or a bodied
non-generic Type-returning sx helper) is comptime-evaluated.
- examples 0614 (direct) + 0615 (type-fn) use `define(declare(), …)`.
Full suite green (673). Files/docs still carry the old reify naming — the
rename sweep is the next commit.
Second slice of the re-architecture — the compiler now has ZERO type-
construction code beyond declare/define.
- instantiateTypeFunction: a type-fn body returning a computed Type (a call
to a non-generic, bodied, Type-returning fn) is comptime-evaluated with the
type bindings active, then renamed to the mangled instantiation name for
identity (renameNominalType). Replaces the old reify-call pattern-matching.
- DELETED: reifyType (lower/nominal.zig), findReturnReifyCall (lower/generic.zig),
and the stale inline-position reify gate in resolveTypeCallWithBindings.
- evalComptimeType (was evalComptimeTypeNamed): pure eval, no rename; the
type-fn caller renames explicitly. renameReifiedType → renameNominalType.
- The TYPE NAME now travels in the data: EnumInfo gains `name`, and define()
names the slot from it (the compiler derives no name from a binding LHS).
examples/0614/0615 carry `name = "..."`; RecvResult/TryResult set it too.
- field_type stays a reflection #builtin (reads a type); only construction
moved out. All reify mentions stripped from compiler source.
examples 0614/0615/0617 run on the floor. Full suite green (673).
First slice of the re-architecture. The compiler gains two comptime
type-construction builtins — declare() (mint an empty/undefined nominal
slot) and define(handle, info) (decode a TypeInfo VALUE + complete the
slot) — executed by the interpreter against a new `mint` TypeTable handle
(setMintTable). reify becomes PLAIN sx in meta.sx:
reify :: (info) -> Type { h := declare(); define(h, info); return h; }
`E :: f(...)` where f is a non-generic Type-returning fn (reify, and later
make_enum) is now comptime-evaluated via evalComptimeTypeNamed: wrap the
call in a throwaway comptime fn, run it through the interp with the mint
table enabled so declare/define mint the type, read back the type_tag, and
rename the anonymous slot to the binding name. The compiler has ZERO reify
knowledge at the decl site — the old `E :: reify` hook is deleted.
examples/0614 (inline reify) now runs on this floor. Full suite green (673).
INTERMEDIATE: reifyType + findReturnReifyCall still serve the type-fn path
(0615/0617) and will be deleted in the next slice (type-fn body
comptime-eval), after which the compiler has no reify code at all.
REIFY Phase 3.1. Add RecvResult($T) and TryResult($T) to meta.sx as
type-fns over reify (value-or-closed; value-or-empty-or-closed). They
need NO new compiler machinery — reify-of-a-literal in a type-fn body is
exactly the Phase 1 path — so the channel result types are pure sx
library code. examples/0617 green (both construct + match, incl.
payload-less .closed / .empty). Suite green (673 examples, 447 unit).
make_enum(variants) (3.2) and type_info (2.2) remain — both blocked on a
generalized reify reader (reifyType currently AST-walks a literal
TypeInfo). Plan/checkpoint updated.
REIFY Phase 0.0. Add the comptime type-metaprogramming surface as the
on-demand module modules/std/meta.sx (NOT the prelude — declaring its
data types in always-loaded core.sx interns them into every module's
type table and shifts every .ir snapshot):
- EnumVariant / EnumInfo / TypeInfo data types. TypeInfo's variant uses
the backtick raw escape `enum so it reads as the keyword.
- reify / type_info / field_type as bodyless #builtin decls.
Each builtin bails LOUDLY when reached unimplemented (no silent default):
- reify(...) in a :: type-alias position -> decl.zig .call branch
(also the Phase 0.2 construction hook); poisons the alias .unresolved.
- reify / field_type in any other type position ->
generic.zig resolveTypeCallWithBindings.
- type_info(...) in expression position -> call.zig tryLowerReflectionCall.
Unit test src/parser.test.zig (registered in root.zig) locks that the
decls parse. zig build test green (447 unit, 669 examples).
The JNI/runtime-class path (Decision 5, Runtime* family). Coordinated across the
hook boundary so the BuildOptions accessor + its registered hook string stay in sync:
- src/: RuntimeClassDecl.foreign_path→runtime_path, splitForeignPath→splitRuntimePath,
foreignPathToJavaName→runtimePathToJavaName, jni_main_foreign_paths→
jni_main_runtime_paths, hookJniMainForeignPathAt→hookJniMainRuntimePathAt, and the
hook string 'BuildOptions.jni_main_foreign_path_at'→'…runtime_path_at'.
- library/: build.sx accessor jni_main_foreign_path_at→jni_main_runtime_path_at +
bundle.sx call sites + the local var → runtime_path + a comment.
- specs.md: the accessor name + <foreign_path_with_dots> doc refs.
- Regenerated 37 .ir snapshots: every program importing build declares the renamed
@BuildOptions.jni_main_runtime_path_at hook stub — symbol-name change only (verified
the .ir diff is ONLY this rename; reverted orthogonal empty-file normalization).
Suite green (646 corpus / 444 unit, 0 failed).
Pure source rename across objc/objc_block/raylib/sdl3/wasm (~51 sites): fn-decl
markers (bare / 'objc' LIB ref) → 'extern …', and objc.sx's 2 import runtime
classes '#foreign #objc_class("X") {' → '#objc_class("X") extern {'. No bare
defined classes. Behavior-preserving. objc + objc_block validated directly by the
50 marked 13xx corpus examples (incl. import classes 1300/1301 + defined classes
1339/1349); raylib/ffi-sdl3/wasm (no marked importers on host) verified by
byte-identical 'sx ir' probes pre/post. Empty snapshot diff; suite green (647
corpus / 444 unit, 0 failed).
Pure source rename across 11 std modules (~60 sites): cli/core/fmt/fs/log/
net/kqueue/process/socket/thread/time/trace. All fn-decl markers — bare
'#foreign;', '#foreign libc;'/'#foreign tlib;' (LIB ref), and
'#foreign libc "csym";' (LIB+rename) → the same 'extern …' tail (extern carries
the identical [LIB] ["csym"] axis). Plus 2 stale comment mentions (fmt/fs).
No class forms in std. These modules ARE host-corpus-exercised, so the empty
snapshot diff is direct validation. Suite green (647 corpus / 444 unit, 0
failed).
Pure source rename across uikit/android/android_jni/sdl3 (~64 #foreign sites):
- 30 fn decls '… #foreign;' → '… extern;'
- 34 import runtime classes '#foreign #objc_class/#jni_class("X") {' →
'#objc_class/#jni_class("X") extern {' (prefix → postfix modifier)
- 4 defined Sx* obj-c classes '#objc_class("X") {' → '… export {'
Behavior-preserving (AST already unified post-Phase-5.0). Verified byte-identical
IR via 'sx ir' on the uikit importers 1610 + 1606 (which compile uikit incl. the
4 defined Sx* classes on host) and an sdl3 probe; android.sx (host-incompatible,
only compiles under OS==.android) verified by an identical 4-error dedup set (the
keyword-neutral 'foreign symbol already bound' message is unchanged). Empty
snapshot diff; suite green (647 corpus / 444 unit, 0 failed).
Pure source rename: all 97 'sqlite3_* ... #foreign sqlib "csym";' fn decls
→ 'extern sqlib "csym";' (+ the one stale header-comment reference). The
extern_lib axis references the 'sqlib' #import c unit identically to #foreign
sqlib, so IR/output is byte-identical. Empty snapshot diff; example 1624
(vendor-sqlite-module) stdout byte-unchanged. Suite green (647 corpus / 444
unit, 0 failed).
THREADSAFE=0 was correct when sx had no threads; with std.thread (S6)
and std.http's pooled dispatch (S7b), concurrent connections corrupted
sqlite's unprotected globals (caught live: distd under ab -c20 died
with free-of-unallocated inside yy_reduce). Serialized mode is
sqlite's own default and safe for every consumer; per-connection use
across threads is the supported pattern.
thread_pool_count = 0 (default) keeps handlers inline on the loop
thread — the measured fast path (BENCH-HTTPZ.md). N > 0 dispatches
each parsed request to a std.thread Pool of N workers, completing the
httpz two-pool shape: the connection freezes as CONN_HANDLING (no
reads, growth, eviction, or recycling — the worker borrows views into
its read buffer), the worker runs the handler under a per-job arena
and serializes into job-owned bytes, the completion queues under the
PoolState mutex, and the loop wakes through the new std.event wake
channel (kqueue EVFILT_USER + EV_CLEAR; the epoll twin maps to
eventfd), attaches the response, compacts the buffer, and resumes
keep-alive/pipeline handling. A full backlog sheds with 503. Stale
completions (generation mismatch after close) are dropped. Pool mode
requires the server's constructing allocator to be thread-safe
(GPA/malloc), documented on the knob.
PoolState lives behind a heap pointer (it embeds a Mutex and is shared
with workers; the Server struct itself is returned by value).
serialize_response/run_handler_job share one serialize_bytes.
examples/1633 gains the pooled section (GET, body echo, 404 across
worker threads) plus the loop-wake path exercised end to end; AOT run
five times. examples/1632 unchanged but the Event struct gains `user`.
pthread bindings with darwin opaque sizes (mutex 64B, cond 48B; glibc
divergence is a C3 per-OS item). Mutex/Cond initialize IN PLACE and
Pool lives behind Pool.create's heap pointer — POSIX sync objects are
address-sensitive, so nothing here moves after setup. Thread.spawn
takes the C2 re-entry contract entry (callconv(.c), fabricates its own
Context); Pool workers do exactly that with a per-worker malloc-backed
GPA, then run default-conv tasks inside it. submit returns false on a
full backlog (httpz thread_pool backpressure); shutdown finishes
queued work and joins every worker.
examples/1637 pins: 4 raw threads x 1000 locked increments, 100 pool
tasks summing exactly once across 4 workers, a held worker + full
backlog refusing the next submit, clean shutdown. JIT + AOT (AOT run
three times). The std.sx barrel carries thread; .ir snapshot regen is
the usual renumbering.
The protocol declares dealloc_bytes(ptr) — the size argument I passed
at three sites was silently accepted and dropped by the compiler
(issue 0131); these calls would stop compiling the moment that
diagnostic gap is fixed.
No conjured GPA: the arena chunks come from own_alloc (captured at
Server.init), so all server memory flows from the allocator the app
constructed it with — the point of the implicit context model.
Handler and serialization allocations through the implicit context die
with the request; response bytes survive via the own_alloc copy made
inside the push scope. Without this every request leaked its render
concats into the loop's long-lived context.
read_buf_cap is now the per-request LIMIT, not a preallocation: slots
start at 16K, double when full (one-step sizing when a Content-Length
declares the body), and keep their grown capacity for slot reuse. At
the limit the refusal distinguishes oversized headers (431) from an
oversized body (413). Unblocks A1: distd accepts multi-hundred-MB
artifact uploads — preallocating that per slot was never an option.
examples/1633 adds a body past the initial capacity echoing intact.
Server.init(cfg, handler, ctx); the handler signature gains a usize
third argument delivered verbatim per dispatch — typically a pointer
to the app's own state, since the server owns the call site. A bare
(req, resp) handler had no way to reach app state without globals.
examples/1633 pins the round trip.
The httpz shape, one worker, handlers inline over the std.event Loop:
nonblocking accept, per-connection state machine (reading -> writing ->
keepalive/close) with incremental parsing (request line, headers,
Content-Length body), partial-write continuation via on-demand write
interest, pipelined-request draining, and timeouts as EVICTION —
request-delivery and keepalive-idle deadlines on the monotonic clock,
checked after I/O each tick. Keep-alive is the HTTP/1.1 default;
Connection header, HTTP/1.0, or the per-connection request_count cap
turn it off. Config mirrors httpz: port/backlog/max_conn/read_buf_cap/
timeout_request_ms/timeout_keepalive_ms/request_count.
API: Server.init(cfg, handler) + tick(max_wait_ms); run() is the
forever-tick loop. tick makes the server drivable single-threaded —
examples/1633 runs a live server and its client sockets in ONE thread,
pinning: GET with keep-alive, actual connection reuse, the request cap
answering Connection: close then EOF, POST body echo, 404 routing, and
a half-header client evicted at the request deadline while a healthy
client keeps being served. Verified under sx run AND sx build.
Connection slots and read buffers are reused across connections
(httpz's min_conn/buffer-pool spirit); response buffers are allocated
per response and freed on completion. Serialization happens while
request views are valid, the served bytes are compacted, and only then
does sending start — write_more's pipelining check must see only the
remainder. The std.sx barrel carries http; .ir snapshot regen is the
usual mechanical renumbering.
S7b adds worker counts + the handler thread pool (needs C2/S6); the
epoll backend activates with the linux target (S4/S7c).
Loop.init/close, add_read/del_read/add_write/del_write with a
per-registration udata word, and wait() normalizing backend events
into Event{fd, udata, readable, writable, eof, err, nbytes}. The epoll
twin (S4) slots in behind this surface when the linux target lands.
No timer registrations by design: request/keepalive eviction is
deadline math — deadline_in/expired/remaining_ms over std.time's
monotonic clock, with remaining_ms feeding wait's timeout. std.sx
barrel carries ; .ir snapshot regen is the usual mechanical
renumbering. examples/1632 pins idle timeout (and that it honors the
deadline), readable with fd/udata/nbytes, immediate writability on an
empty send buffer, and the eof flag on peer close; JIT + AOT.
32-byte darwin struct kevent, EVFILT_READ/WRITE/TIMER, EV_* flags, and
three thin helpers: kev_change (one registration entry), kq_apply
(immediate change, no drain), kq_wait (bounded drain, EINTR reissued,
negative timeout = forever). Off the std.sx barrel by design — the
OS-neutral facade over this and the epoll twin is std.event (S5).
examples/1631 pins zero-cost idle timeout, READ readiness with pending
byte count + udata round-trip, and EV_EOF on peer close; verified under
sx run AND sx build.
set_nonblocking (C-variadic fcntl), errno via __error (darwin; C3
selects per-OS), and accept_nb/read_nb/write_nb returning a typed
SockErr — WouldBlock / Closed / Fault — so readiness-loop callers never
parse -1/errno pairs. EINTR retries internally; accept_nb skips
ECONNABORTED. Adds connect, shutdown, socketpair, AF_UNIX, SHUT_*.
examples/1630 pins the result algebra on a socketpair and a nonblocking
TCP listener (WouldBlock on empty backlog, accept after loopback
connect); verified under sx run AND sx build. The .ir snapshot regen is
mechanical: new std decls shift @str/@tag.str numbering and grow the
type table (179 -> 185).
now_secs (CLOCK_REALTIME, epoch seconds) and mono_ms (CLOCK_MONOTONIC,
process-local milliseconds for deadlines). Clock ids are darwin's; the
per-OS selection mechanism is PLAN-HTTPZ C3. No error channel: with
module-constant clock ids and a stack timespec, clock_gettime is total.
std.sx namespace tail carries the time alias; examples/1629 pins epoch
plausibility, monotone advance, and the alias carry.
kb_text_shape (v2.10, JimmyLefevre) had been LOST from the sx tree —
ffi/stb_truetype.sx referenced repo paths that no longer existed (and
nothing runs glyph_cache, so the dangling unit never fired). The
trimmed copy returns from the m3te project as a proper vendor:
curated c/kbts_api.h decls over the full upstream header, README with
provenance, and examples/1627 pinning context + font creation so the
unit compiles and runs in-suite. file_utils (in-house asset-read
helper with the Android AAssetManager hook) gets the same unit shape.
modules/ffi/stb_truetype.sx is gone: glyph_cache imports the three
vendored units (stb_truetype, kb_text_shape, file_utils) directly.
The stb headers move from the repo-root vendors/ (resolvable only
with CWD = sx repo) into library/vendors/ following the sqlite
convention — bindings module + c/ sources + provenance README — so
'#import "vendors/stb_image/stb_image.sx"' (image v2.30 + image_write
v1.16) and '#import "vendors/stb_truetype/stb_truetype.sx"' (v1.26)
work from any consumer via the stdlib search paths. modules/ffi/stb.sx
dissolves into the stb_image vendor; modules/ffi/stb_truetype.sx keeps
its non-stb text-shaping companions and re-imports the vendored unit.
examples/1625 pins a deterministic in-memory BMP decode; examples/1626
pins font init + metric invariants against the system Helvetica.
The vendored amalgamation (3.53.2, public domain) plus the curated
bindings move from the distribution repo into the sx library:
'#import "vendors/sqlite/sqlite.sx"' gives any sx program SQLite
with no system dependency and no build flags — the bindings declare
the C as a named #import c unit (pinned defines + -O2), compiled
through the object cache and shadow-proof via unit-first resolution.
examples/1624 pins the version and a typed round trip in-suite.
cstring is ONE pointer to a null-terminated u8 buffer, C's char*: thin
(8 bytes, no length; cstring_len walks to the terminator), crossing
#foreign boundaries verbatim in both directions, with ?cstring as the
nullable case lowering to the same bare pointer (null = absent).
Conversion discipline mirrors Odin: a string LITERAL coerces implicitly
(its bytes are terminated constants); any other string is rejected with
a diagnostic naming to_cstring (it may be an unterminated view); and
cstring never coerces to string implicitly — from_cstring(c) is the
explicit zero-copy view, pricing the strlen.
Plumbing: TypeId/TypeInfo builtin slot 18 (first_user 19), name
classifiers, size/align/name tables, LLVM ptr lowering, the ?T pointer
niche, the xx pointer ladder, the literal-gated coercion plan
(isConstString + data_ptr), and the reserved-spelling set. std gains
cstring_len/from_cstring/to_cstring (fmt.sx, re-exported); the old
cstring(size) allocator helper is renamed alloc_string everywhere;
getenv migrates to (name: cstring) -> ?cstring as the canonical user
and env() drops its manual strlen/memcpy.
Pinned: examples/1222 (FFI both directions, literal coercion,
?cstring null paths, round trip) and examples/1173 (both coercion
diagnostics); FAIL pre-feature. The alloc_string rename + getenv
signature shift the .ir snapshots — regenerated. zig build test
426/426; run_examples 604/604.
Spec: reserved spelling + cstring section + C-interop rows.
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.
The flat #import of mem.sx predated the namespace tail — the tail's
mem :: #import already puts mem.sx in the program graph, which is all
the ufcs helpers (context.allocator.create/alloc/free/clone) and the
CAllocator default-context machinery need; std.sx itself references no
mem name. Probe-verified the full mem surface + all gates: suite
588/588, zig build test 0, m3te 23/23, game builds + bundles. The
double import was also duplicating lowered IR — the 37 re-pinned .ir
snapshots net ~2.5k lines smaller; output streams byte-identical.
std.sx now contains only alias declarations (the re-export mechanism:
own decls carry one flat-import level) over three part-files: core.sx
(builtins, libc escape hatch, Source_Location/Allocator/Context/Into,
the reserved `string` decl — which needs and permits no alias), fmt.sx
(print/format/any_to_string/string ops/cstring/alloc_slice), list.sx
(List). The namespace tail is unchanged; the part-file namespaces
(core/fmt/list) carry alongside it. Consumer surface is byte-identical
— every bare prelude name resolves through the aliases (0120/0121
machinery). 37 .ir snapshots re-pinned: pure string-constant
renumbering from the changed import graph (digit-normalized diff is
empty). Gates: zig build test 426/426, suite 588/588, m3te 23/23,
game SxChess builds + bundles.
With 0115's own-wins globals landed, the remaining tail modules join
std.sx: every '#import "modules/std.sx"' now carries mem/xml/log/fs/
process/socket/json/cli/hash/test as namespaces (trace stays a direct
import).
Enablers in the same change:
- emit: dead-global elimination — a plain-data global no instruction
references is not emitted, so tail modules' data (hash's 64-entry K
table, OS/ARCH/POINTER_SIZE) stays out of binaries that don't use it.
Comptime-backed globals keep their #run evaluation. 37 pinned IR
snapshots regenerated (dead globals dropped + string renumbering from
the larger module).
- 1055/1056 stop pinning the global error-tag ordinal (it shifts with
program composition); they assert nonzero + tag identity + name.
- specs/readme/CLAUDE.md tail docs updated.
- objc.sx, objc_block.sx (from std/) + sdl3/opengl/raylib/stb/stb_truetype/
wasm vendor bindings (from modules/ root) -> modules/ffi/
- std/uikit.sx deleted: platform/uikit.sx already declares UIApplicationMain
and imports objc; '#framework "UIKit"' cannot live in a file imported on
macOS targets (unconditional link directive, UIKit is iOS-only), so the
three iOS-only examples carry the 3-line glue inline. 1607/1608/1616 also
un-rotted (dead ns_string -> 'xx "..."' Into conversions, callconv(.c)
msgSend fn-ptrs) — all three build for ios-sim/ios again.
- math/math.sx -> math/scalar.sx; one spelling '#import "modules/math"'
everywhere (4 pinned IR snapshots regenerated: dir import adds Vec2/Mat4
to the type tables).
- compiler.sx -> build.sx (imports, CLAUDE.md bundling table, specs.md).
- testpkg/ + test_c.sx -> tests/fixtures/ (resolve CWD-relative from repo
root, same as vendors/).
- library-internal imports use full modules/... paths (std.sx tail,
platform/bundle.sx, fixtures).
allocators/fs/process/socket/log/trace/test move under modules/std/
(allocators.sx becomes std/mem.sx; the Allocator protocol moves into
the std.sx prelude, impls stay in mem.sx). New std/xml.sx holds
xml_escape as xml.escape. std.sx gains the carried namespace tail —
flat-importing std.sx now also provides mem./xml./log. — with the
remaining modules (fs/process/socket/json/cli/hash/test) deferred from
the tail until the global last-wins maps are fully own-wins (pulling
them into every closure collides bare names corpus-wide; they stay
direct imports: modules/std/fs.sx etc.). log.sx's internal emit
renamed log_emit (it clobbered consumer fns named emit program-wide).
bundle.sx uses xml.escape via the carried alias. Consumer import paths
swept mechanically; .ir snapshots recaptured for the larger std
closure. m3te + game build unchanged.
Incomplete WIP from a worker killed at the 55-min wall (large blast radius:
core source-pin + ~8 example migrations + ~10 library module migrations).
Committed so the resumed session continues on a clean tree. May not build.
Make same-name top-level types in different sources DISTINCT nominal types
instead of collapsing last-wins in the type table (issue 0105).
Registration:
- internNamedTypeDecl assigns a per-decl nominal_id and populates
type_decl_tids. The first author of a name keeps nominal_id 0 (byte-identical
to pre-E2); a genuine cross-module shadow (>=2 distinct normalized-path
authors per the import facts) gets a fresh id -> a distinct TypeId.
- mergeFlat/addOwnDecl stop first-wins-dropping per-source decls (named types +
non-fn const_decls) so every same-name author reaches registration; functions
and var_decls (incl. #foreign extern globals) keep first-wins.
Resolution (selectNominalLeaf):
- own-author wins; else flatTypeAuthorCount over the transitive flat closure:
>=2 distinct -> .ambiguous (loud diagnostic + poison); exactly one -> resolved;
a flat author not yet findByName-registered -> .undeclared stub (not a leak).
- struct-literal type names route through the same source-aware leaf.
- lazyLowerFunction pins the function's own source before resolving its return
type, so a shadowed signature type resolves in its module, not the caller's.
Codegen:
- mangleTypeName appends __n<id> for nonzero nominal_id so same-name shadows get
distinct monomorph symbols (struct_to_string__Box vs __Box__n1).
Library hygiene:
- rename trace.sx's compiler-contracted Frame -> TraceFrame (+ the two compiler
findByName sites) so it never collides with a UI/geometry Frame; the layout is
structural (getFrameStructType / SxFrame), name-independent.
Examples: 0752-0756 pin the five 0105 cases (distinct fields / same fields /
own-wins / ambiguous / alias per-source); 0170 pins the folded anon-struct-field
regression.
Resolves issue 0090. The `{}` integer formatter mis-rendered both ends of
the 64-bit range:
- `int_to_string` computed the magnitude as `0 - n`, which overflows for
`s64::MIN` (its magnitude is unrepresentable as a positive s64) — the
value stayed negative, the digit loop ran zero times, so only `-`
printed. It now extracts digits straight from `n` (per-digit
`|n % 10|`, `n` truncating toward zero), never negating MIN.
- `any_to_string`'s `case int:` formatted every integer as s64, so a u64
all-ones value printed as `-1`. There was no `uint` type-category to
distinguish signedness. Added an additive `type_is_unsigned(T)`
reflection builtin (static fold + dynamic interp/LLVM paths, mirroring
`type_name`), backed by the new `TypeTable.isUnsignedInt` predicate, and
a `uint_to_string` formatter (unsigned decimal via long-division over
four 16-bit limbs). `case int:` routes through `type_is_unsigned(type)`.
The 16-bit-limb split is factored into a shared `decompose_u16x4`, now
reused by `int_to_hex_string` (no second unsigned-math routine).
Regression: examples/0046-basic-int-formatter-extremes pins both extremes
plus a width spread; unit tests cover `isUnsignedInt`. Docs (specs.md
representation note, readme std API) updated for unsigned/extreme `{}`
behavior. IR snapshots refreshed for the two new std functions.
Foundation milestone close — the minimal exit-code / --json contract
`dist` relies on, in pure sx (no compiler change).
- EX_OK (0) / EX_USAGE (64, sysexits.h) / EX_UNAVAILABLE (70) named
constants in std.cli.
- exit_ok() / exit_usage() terminators routing through the canonical
process.exit(code: u8) — removes the hand-rolled cli_bail_exit `_exit`
binding; the unsupported-platform path now uses proc.exit(EX_UNAVAILABLE).
- --json read is parsed.json (already parsed by F3.2); documented as the
detection point with a stdout-pure / stderr-human convention.
- examples/0718-modules-cli-exit-json.sx exercises the contract: json true
with --json / false without, EX_USAGE == 64, and a usage path that exits
64 via exit_usage() (expected .exit = 64).
- readme.md gains a std.cli command-line-interface subsection.
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).
Add library/modules/std/cli.sx: a pure-sx command-line argument accessor
backed by the macOS C runtime (_NSGetArgv/_NSGetArgc), no compiler change.
os_argc() -> s64
os_args(buf: []string) -> []string
Zero heap, zero per-arg allocation: os_args fills a caller-provided buffer
(stack array) with string VIEWS over the process's own argv block, which
lives for the whole process. The returned slice header is a by-value stack
return; nothing touches context.allocator.
Documents the `sx run` reality: under `sx run <prog.sx> ...` the process
argv is the interpreter's argv (sx, run, prog.sx, ...), not a program's
logical args. This accessor reports the real process argv truthfully;
mapping to logical args is a later consumer concern (distribution P3.1).
Non-macOS platforms bail loudly (message + _exit) rather than returning a
silent empty.
examples/0716-modules-cli-argv.sx asserts only deterministic structural
invariants (argc >= 1, argv[0] non-empty, os_argc() == filled length).
parse_string scanned for `"` and `\` but accepted every other byte,
including raw control characters. RFC 8259 §7 requires those bytes to be
escaped inside a string; an unescaped one is invalid JSON and must surface
a parse error, not be silently accepted.
Add `BadControlChar` to JsonParseError and reject any unescaped byte < 0x20
in the string body scan (which gates the decode path too, so escaped forms
like \t/\n/ still decode correctly; 0x20 and 0x7F are not over-rejected).
Regression test in examples/0714: raw 0x09/0x0A/0x00 each raise
BadControlChar via `?`/`!`; a positive case proves the escaped forms still
decode to the right bytes. All prior assertions kept.
