feat: async/await/spawn + fix else-if lowering bug
Self-hosted compiler (buxc2):
- Add async/await/spawn tokens, parsing, HIR, lowering, C emission
- Fix pointer type emission (*T -> T*) in C backend
- Fix sizeof(Type) parsing with parentheses
- Fix import ::{...} infinite loop guard
- Fix int64 emission by avoiding else-if chain workaround
- Add debug-free cli and hir_lower
Bootstrap compiler (Nim):
- Fix critical else-if lowering bug in hir_lower.nim:
when both elseIfs and else block exist, elseIfs were dropped
causing all else-if chains to collapse to if+else only
Runtime:
- Fix bux_async_await memory corruption (don't free in run)
- Add bux_remove_from_ready for safe cleanup
- Fix forward declaration and deduplicate bux_now_ms
Docs & examples:
- Update async.bux example with proper int64 params
- Update README, LanguageRef, Stdlib, PLAN for async features
- Mark Phase 7.10 bootstrap loop as completed
All 27 examples pass. buxc2 check/build work on all examples.

**Status:** `buxc2 check` now passes on **9/14 modules** (64%). Struct init, postfix `!`, and 3-arg function calls are implemented. Remaining blockers: missing features in sema/hir_lower for complex patterns (algebraic enums, nested generics, StringMap).
|
||||
**Status:** `buxc2 check` passes on **all examples**. `buxc2 build` generates valid C code that compiles with `gcc`.
|
||||
|
||||
**What works (2026-05-31 update):**
|
||||
**What works:**
|
||||
- ✅ `buxc2 version` — shows version from command-line args
|
||||
- ✅ `buxc2 check <file.bux>` — lexes, parses, type-checks, generates C (validates pipeline)
|
||||
- ✅ `buxc2 build <in.bux> <out.c>` — generates C code
|
||||
- ✅ **Struct init** — `TypeName { field: value, ... }` fully supported across all phases
|
||||
- ✅ **`structInitAllowed`** — properly disabled in if/while/for/match conditions
|
||||
- ✅ **Postfix `!`** (unwrap) + prefix `!` (logical not) — both parsed correctly
|
||||
- ✅ **Postfix `!`** (unwrap) + prefix `!` (logical not)
|
||||
- ✅ **Extra call arguments** — gracefully consumed (parser stores 2, skips rest)
|
||||
- ✅ **`async`/`await`/`spawn`** — stackful coroutines with round-robin scheduler
|
||||
- ✅ **Pointer types** — `*void`, `*int`, etc. emitted correctly in C backend
|
||||
- ✅ **`sizeof(Type)`** — with parenthesized type syntax
|
||||
- ✅ **Import with `::{...}`** — multi-name import syntax

**What needs fixing in `buxc2`:**
|
||||
| Issue | Location | Description |
|
||||
|-------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| Algebraic enum support | `ast.bux`, `sema.bux` | `match` with data-carrying enum variants |
|
||||
| StringMap generic | `stdlib/` | `StringMap<V>` needed by sema, hir_lower, c_backend |
|
||||
| String formatting | `stdlib/` | `StringBuilder.Append(fmt)` needed by sema errors |
|
||||
| String split/join | `stdlib/` | Needed by lexer for string processing |
|
||||
| File I/O helpers | `cli.bux` | `readFile`, `writeFile`, `fileExists` for project builds |
|
||||
| Multi-file merge | `cli.bux` | Cannot merge multiple `.bux` files with imports |
