// Value-carrying failable functions (ERR step E2.1a — the producer side of the // error-channel tuple ABI). A `-> (T, !E)` function returns EITHER a value OR // an error: `return v;` yields the success tuple `{v, 0}` (the compiler appends // the no-error slot), and `raise error.X` yields `{undef, tag}` (value slot // undefined, error slot = the tag). Today the result is consumed by // destructuring `v, err := f()` (which extracts both slots); the value-carrying // `try` / `catch` consumers land in E2.1b. #import "modules/std.sx"; E :: error { Bad, Empty } parse :: (n: s32) -> (s32, !E) { if n < 0 { raise error.Bad; } if n == 0 { raise error.Empty; } return n * 10; // success → {n*10, 0} } main :: () -> s32 { r : s32 = 0; // The value slot is live only where the error is proven absent (ERR E1.8): // read `v1` under an `if !e1` guard, not after a bare tag-compare. v1, e1 := parse(5); // success → v1 = 50, e1 = no error if !e1 { r = r + v1; } // success → +50 v2, e2 := parse(-1); // Bad if e2 == error.Bad { r = r + 7; } // true → +7 if e2 == error.Empty { r = r + 200; } // false v3, e3 := parse(0); // Empty if e3 == error.Empty { r = r + 3; } // true → +3 print("value-failable result: {}\n", r); // 50 + 7 + 3 = 60 return r; }
