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.
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.
- Rewrite apps/nexus with modular architecture:
Config, Http, Errors, Parser, Router, Handlers, Server, Main
- Use algebraic enums for ParseResult/FileResult/HttpError
- Thread-pool server via Channel<ConnectionTask> and spawn
- Fix C backend type ordering for generic struct instances
(Array_T, Iter_T) and algebraic enum struct payloads
- Collect Slice_T types from struct fields and enum payloads
- Fix match lowering for simple enums (direct value compare)
- Resolve match expression return type from first arm
- Infer element type for for-in over Array<UserStruct>
- Preserve generic type args in field access resolution
- Add fflush to PrintLine/Print for immediate server logs
- Add modern_features golden regression test
- Regenerate golden expected.c files
- 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
Add golden tests for: structs, generics, algebraic_enums, enums,
methods, strings. Each test captures the expected C output from the
bootstrap compiler for regression detection.
Also remove leftover 'PARSER FIX V2 ACTIVE' debug print from parser.bux.
- Makefile: new targets `test-golden` and `selfhost-loop`
- selfhost-loop verifies C codegen determinism (2-pass bootstrap)
- test-golden compares C output against expected.c golden files
- Updated clean-all to clean new build dirs
- tests/golden/hello/: first golden test (hello world)
- src/sema.bux:
- Fix: import stubs only registered if symbol doesn't already exist
- Improve: error message now includes identifier name
- Fix lirValToC crash on lvkInt in hStore raw C emission
- Add hAlloca handling to lowerExpr (returns &name, avoids unhandled fallback)
- Fix nested comment syntax in unhandled expr fallback
- Rewrite buildLval to handle hIndexPtr and nested hFieldPtr/hArrowField
so assignments like arr[i].field = val emit direct C lvalues
- Make &&/|| temporaries unique (__and_tmp_N/__or_tmp_N) to avoid
duplicate declarations in the same function
- Selfhost null-deref fix in sema.bux (unchained nested conditions)
The old findGenericCalls second-pass only looked in non-generic functions
and generated unresolved instances like Array_Get_T when generic funcs
called other generic funcs. Removed it entirely.
lowerExpr for ekCall now invokes generateMethodInstance directly for
both explicit (ekGenericCall) and inferred generic calls. This ensures
concrete instantiations are generated on-demand with correct typeSubst.
Also added guard in resolveTypeExpr/substituteType to skip emitting C
struct definitions for unresolved type parameters (e.g. Array<T> inside
a generic function body before monomorphization).
