A block's value is now its last statement ONLY when that statement is a trailing expression with no `;`. A trailing `;` discards the value, leaving the block void. This makes value-vs-statement explicit and lets the compiler reject "this block was supposed to produce a value". Compiler: - Parser records `Block.produces_value` (last stmt is a no-`;` trailing expression) + `Block.discarded_semi` (the `;` that discarded a value), via `expectSemicolonAfter`. A trailing expression before `}` may now omit its `;` (previously a parse error). Match-arm and else-arm bodies are built value-producing regardless of the arm `;` (arms are exempt — the `;` is an arm terminator). - Lowering: `lowerBlockValue` / the block-expr path / `inferExprType` respect `produces_value`. A value-position block that discards its value is a hard error (`lowerValueBody` for function bodies; the value-context `.block` path for if/else branches, `catch` bodies, value bindings, match arms). Pure-failable `-> !` bodies (value rides the error channel) and a value-if whose branches are void are handled without false errors. - `defer`/`onfail` cleanup bodies lower as statements (void), so a trailing `;` there is fine. Migration (behavior-preserving — output unchanged): - stdlib + ~210 examples: dropped the trailing `;` on value-position last expressions. `format` now ends with an explicit `#insert "return result;"` (it relied on `#insert`-as-block-value, which `;` discards). - Two `main :: () -> s32` examples that relied on the old silent default-return got an explicit trailing `0`. - Rejection snapshots 0412 / 1013 regenerated (their quoted source lines lost a `;`); the diagnostics themselves are unchanged. Docs/tests: specs.md "Block values" section; examples 0040 (rules) + 0041 (rejection); 3 parser unit tests. Filed issue 0066 (pre-existing match-arm negated-literal phi-width quirk, surfaced not caused here). Gates: zig build, zig build test, run_examples.sh -> 343 passed, cross_compile.sh -> 7 passed (also refreshed its stale example names).

// `xx @<foreign_global>` round-trips through a non-main helper

|
// function: the helper's `xx @__stdinp` cast lowers to a `bitcast`
|
|
// IR opcode that emit_llvm.zig dispatches to `LLVMBuildPtrToInt`
|
|
// (BitCast doesn't accept ptr↔int on modern LLVM with opaque
|
|
// pointers), and a `u64`-returning function correctly returns
|
|
// the address.
|
|
//
|
|
// Was issue-0037 — the helper used to emit `ret i64 undef` because
|
|
// `coerceToType` had no pointer↔integer case, so the explicit
|
|
// `xx ptr` cast produced an unchanged pointer value handed to a
|
|
// `ret i64` slot.
