// Failable `or` chains (ERR step E2.4b). `lhs or rhs` with failable operands // is a left-to-right, short-circuit chain: each failing attempt routes to the // next operand; the chain resolves when an operand succeeds (or a value // terminator absorbs). `try` marks an operand whose failure is visible routing // (path-marker rule); a bare failable operand is allowed when a downstream // terminator absorbs it. A `catch` over a parenthesized chain redirects the // chain's total failure to the handler instead of the function. Absorbed // failures clear the trace buffer; `onfail` does not fire for a failure that // never leaves its block. This run takes only absorbed paths → exit 120. #import "modules/std.sx"; E :: error { A, B }; fa :: (n: i32) -> (i32, !E) { if n == 0 { raise error.A; } if n < 0 { raise error.B; } return n; } fv :: (n: i32) -> !E { // void (pure) failable if n == 0 { raise error.A; } return; } main :: () -> (i32, !E) { onfail print("onfail fired (BUG)\n"); // must NOT fire — every chain below absorbs r : i32 = 0; r = r + (try fa(0) or try fa(7)); // a fails → b succeeds → 7 r = r + (try fa(0) or try fa(0) or try fa(3)); // first two fail → third → +3 = 10 r = r + (fa(0) or fa(0) or 96); // bare chain + value terminator → +96 = 106 r = r + ((try fa(0) or try fa(0)) catch (e) 5); // both fail → catch handler → +5 = 111 r = r + ((try fa(0) or try fa(9)) catch (e) 0); // second succeeds → catch skipped → +9 = 120 try fv(0) or try fv(1); // void chain: first fails → second succeeds return r; // success → exit 120; onfail skipped }
