Step 4A final slice's lock-in. `$args` (whole pack) as a bare
expression should evaluate to a comptime `[]Type` slice value
— the whole pack passed through as data so builder fns can
walk it.
Today's parser arm (commit fd03b58, M5.A.next.4.3) requires
the `[<int_literal>]` form: bare `$<pack_name>` hits the
focused "expected '[' after '$<pack_name>'" diagnostic I added
when wiring the indexed access.
`examples/170-pack-bare-value.sx` exercises four call shapes
of a pack-fn whose body binds `list := $args` then returns
`list.len`. Expected output (post-fix) is "0/1/3/4" per call.
Today the parser rejection diff makes the test fail —
209/209 + 1 expected-failing = 210 total.
Cadence shape 2: expected output is the WORKING shape; pre-fix
the parser-error diff fails. Next commit lands the parser
extension + AST node + lowering and the test flips green.

// Variadic heterogeneous type packs — step 4 final slice (4A

// bare): `$args` referenced bare (without `[...]` indexing) in
|
|
// expression position should evaluate to a comptime `[]Type`
|
|
// slice value — the whole pack passed through as data so
|
|
// builder fns can walk it.

// convert :: (self: Closure(..$args) -> $R) -> Block {

|

// where `build_block_convert(args: []Type, ret: Type) -> string`

// is a regular sx fn the interp executes — it walks `args` to

// emit a trampoline fn matching the per-mono signature.

// Today the parser-arm I wrote for `$<ident>[<int>]` (commit
|

// fd03b58, M5.A.next.4.3) REQUIRES the `[` after the pack
|
|
// name; bare `$args` hits a focused diagnostic. This file
|
|
// pins that rejection. Next commit makes the `[` optional —
|
|
// no `[` yields a `comptime_pack_ref` AST node which lowering
|
|
// converts to a `[N x Type]` aggregate of `const_type` values.
