Add .github/workflows/ci.yml (Nim + gcc → make test). Keep selfhost-loop
as an optional/weekly job. Document CI layout; reformat hir_lower for fmt-check.
Add tools/selfhost_loop.sh with path-normalized C and stripped ELF
checks (bootstrap ×2). Wire GitHub Actions (manual/weekly/main paths)
outside default make test. Raise selfhost lexer maxTokens for large files.
Stamp each HIR node with Decl source path; C backend tracks lastDebugFile
so #line re-emits when file or line changes. Closures inherit the
enclosing function path. Smoke checks Util_Double body maps to Util.bux.
Stamp each merged .bux path onto decls, propagate to HirFunc, and emit
#line N \"path\" per function without requiring BUX_DEBUG_FILE.
- Decl.sourceFile + Cli_StampSourceFile on merge/project parse
- HirFunc.sourceFile; CBE switches currentFile per function
- Stdlib and multi-file user packages get distinct paths automatically
Bring selfhost C backend closer to bootstrap ownership and debug quality.
- Mark locals moved into struct fields / returns (no double Drop)
- Mangle Array/Set/Map/Channel field types so user structs fully emit
- Emit #line N from HIR line; BUX_DEBUG_FILE / BUX_NO_LINE controls
Session 36: prevent UAF when Array is moved into a struct field (Nexus
headers), align selfhost cc flags with bootstrap debug/release, and add
workspace/symbol search to bux-lsp 0.6.
- Parser: zero headers after embedding so auto-drop is a no-op
- Request_WantsKeepAlive uses RequestHeader_Get again safely
- Selfhost: default -O0 -g; --release -O2 -DNDEBUG; BUX_CFLAGS
- LSP: workspace/symbol + smoke; version 0.6.0
Ship the QUALITY_PLAN stretch from ownership through ecosystem: C.1
lifetime elision (bootstrap + selfhost), bux fmt/test/doc CI hooks,
stdlib goldens, package registry (bux search/add), and LSP 0.4
position-sensitive locals with inferred let types. Full-tree format
pass plus Map/Set remove double-free fix.
Multi-field variants use Enum_Variant_Payload nested types (avoids tag name clash).
Sema resolves data.Variant.Variant_i; enum field types fully resolve tuples.
Selfhost parses full type exprs in enum payloads; emit structs/tuples before enums.
Example: examples/nested_patterns.bux (Pair::Two, Box::Val((a,c)), Shape::Dot).
Blocks can yield a value: last expression statement is the result.
Match arms accept block bodies, so multi-statement arms work:
match n {
1 => { let a = 10; a + 1 },
_ => 0
}
Bootstrap: lowerBlock(asExpr) lifts the trailing skExpr. Selfhost: parse
{...} as ekBlock, emit __blk_N yield temps (retTypeKind -2), and treat
only non-empty strValue as match/block yield. Nested enum/struct pattern
bindings recurse in both compilers.
Example: match_block.bux. Selfhost-loop remains binary-identical.
Support destructuring in match arms:
- Tuple: (a, b) binds subject._0 / _1
- Struct: Point { x: px, y: py } and shorthand Point { x, y }
Bootstrap: matchPatternBindings for pkTuple/pkStruct; register local
tuple typedefs from function bodies. Selfhost: parse, Sema_BindPattern,
Lcx_PatternBindings with scope defines. Fix operator-overload path that
crashed when typeName was null after pattern binds.
Example: examples/struct_tuple_pat.bux. Selfhost-loop IDENTICAL.
Sessions 10–12 from QUALITY_PLAN:
- Pattern payload bindings (Some(value) => value) in bootstrap and selfhost
- Empty-param closures via || (tkPipePipe) with loop/return bodies
- Expression-form match: let x = match …; newline before arms
- f"…" string interpolation desugared to String_Concat + conversions
- Lexer preserves \{ \} for literal braces in f-strings
- Bootstrap fix: f"plain" strips the f prefix after escape processing
- Examples: pattern_matching, closure_control, match_let, string_interp
Selfhost-loop remains binary-identical; all examples and error goldens pass.
Lower match to if-else for literals, ranges, enum tags, and wildcards.
Fix bootstrap literal arms that always matched; port real arm AST/parser
and Lcx_LowerMatch to selfhost with last-expression return. Expand
pattern_matching example and add parse/use-after-move/double-mut golden
diagnostics. Selfhost-loop remains binary-identical.
Add int-specialized higher-order Iter helpers that accept fat function
pointers, plus an example using named funcs and capturing closures.
Fix selfhost C backend pointer field access and Array Push indexing.
Introduce fat function pointers (BuxFn {code, env}) so capturing closures
are heap-allocated per value in both bootstrap and selfhost. Expand
Array/Map/Set/String/Test/Result APIs, add proper tuple codegen and
error snippets with multi-char underlines, golden diagnostic tests, and
LSP diagnostics via buxc check.
- Extend Lcx_BuildAutoDropFree to detect TypeName_Drop methods
registered by sema for extend Type for Drop impl blocks.
- Preserve existing @[Drop] attribute path and move semantics.
- Add design doc and implementation plan.
- Mark Destructors/Drop roadmap item done in selfhost.
- Add -Wl,--build-id=none to C compilation flags (removes non-deterministic build ID)
- Update Makefile selfhost-loop to strip debug info before ELF comparison
- Bootstrap compiler and selfhost compiler both deterministic
- @[Release] disables borrow checking and bounds checking in the function
- --release passes -O3 -flto to the C compiler for optimized builds
- Selfhost loop still deterministic
- Parse --target flag in Cli_Run before command dispatch
- Pass targetTriple through Cli_Build, Cli_BuildProject, Cli_RunProject
- Use clang with -target when cross-compiling, cc otherwise
- Selfhost loop: C output identical
- Auto-drop now only triggers for user-defined types explicitly marked
with @[Drop] on the struct declaration.
- Added move tracking in C backend to skip auto-drop for variables
that have been moved (via let y = x, return x, or assignment).
- Prevents double-free when ownership is transferred.
- Selfhost bootstrap loop verified: C output is deterministic.
- lib/Drop.bux: interface Drop { func Drop(self: *Self); }
- sema.bux: define TypeName_MethodName in scope for impl block methods
so auto-drop (Lcx_BuildAutoDropFree) can find Drop implementations
via extend Type for Drop, not just @[Drop] or standalone functions
- Verified: extend Buffer for Drop auto-calls Buffer_Drop in @[Checked]
- ast.bux: add isDrop field to Decl
- parser.bux: parse @[Drop] attribute and attach to struct Decls
- hir_lower.bux: auto-drop now looks for TypeName_Drop for any type
- Test: _test_drop_user verifies Buffer_Drop is auto-called
- Auto-register func Type_Method(self: T, ...) as methods in sema.
- Add method table lookup for binary operators in sema.bux ekBinary.
- Add method table lookup for operator_index_get in sema.bux ekIndex.
- Add HIR lowering for binary operators to method calls in hir_lower.bux.
- Add HIR lowering for operator_index_get/set in hir_lower.bux.
- Set expr.refType for overloaded operators so chained ops work.
- Fix hir_lower.bux to recognize Array_int/Iter_string etc. in for-in loops
by checking Array_/Iter_ prefix outside the empty-elemTypeName branch.
- Update all golden expected.c files to include duplicate bux_bounds_check
declaration (matches actual C codegen).
- Remove duplicate Drop trait item from ROADMAP.md.
- Add lib/Slice.bux with Slice<T> generic struct
- Fix C backend to recognize Slice/Slice* as generic types
- Use var instead of let for uninitialized Slice<T> locals
- Selfhost loop passes, tests pass
In @[Checked] functions, variables of type Array<T> automatically get
a defer Array_Free_T(&var) injected at declaration site. This ensures
Array values are freed when they go out of scope, preventing leaks.
Implementation:
- HIR lowering detects Array_<T> types in skLet statements
- Generates Array_Free_T generic instance if needed
- Builds synthetic defer node: defer Array_Free_T(&var)
- Wraps let+defer in hBlock for proper statement chaining
Also adds checkedFunc flag to HirFunc and CEmitter for future use.
- cli: buxc2 build now delegates to Cli_BuildProject for src/Main.bux,
enabling stdlib merging (Array_Iter, Iter_HasNext, etc. available)
- sema: set expr.refType on ekCall from function return type
(needed for for-loop type extraction from MakeArr()-style expressions)
- hir_lower: remove ekIdent restriction on collection-based for loops
- supports arbitrary expressions: for x in MakeArr() { ... }
- creates temp variable __tmp_coll_N for non-identifier iterators
- generates proper Array_T struct instances for temp variables
- Test: for x in MakeArr() sums [10,20,30] → 60
- Selfhost loop: C output IDENTICAL
- parser: extend-for only linked first 2 methods; now uses lastMethod pointer
- sema: trait bounds checking was after indirect-call early return (tyFunc path),
so Max<Circle>(...) skipped bounds check when callee had tekFunc refType.
Moved bounds check before both indirect/direct call returns.
- Negative test: Circle without Comparable impl now correctly errors.
- Selfhost loop: C output IDENTICAL.
- Fix Fmt_Format name conflict between lib/Fmt.bux and src/fmt.bux
by renaming selfhost formatter function to Fmt_FormatSource.
- Fix collection-based for-in loops to handle already-monomorphized
types like Array_int and Iter_string (typeArgCount=0 cases).
- Fix ekSizeOf and ekCast in HIR lowering to apply Lcx_SubstituteType
during generic monomorphization, so sizeof(T) and *T casts emit
correct concrete types in C output.
- Fix sema to infer stmt.refStmtType from initializer expression
when no explicit type annotation is given, ensuring C backend
emits correct pointer types for let data = ... as *T.
- Fix nested Lcx_GenerateStructInstance overwriting parent slot by
incrementing structCount BEFORE field processing
- Fix Lcx_LowerModule to skip generic structs from hm.structs (was missing
continue due to bootstrap compiler codegen limitation)
