Add standard library modules:
- Std::String: strlen, strcmp, concat, copy, starts_with wrappers
- Std::Map: linear-probing hash map with String keys, int values
Add error handling:
- Result and Option algebraic enum examples
- ? try operator for automatic error propagation in HIR lowering
Compiler bugfixes:
- Fix sizeof() for user-defined structs (new hSizeOf HIR node)
- Fix HIR type lowering for char8, bool8, int8, uint8, etc.
- Fix let statement lowering for pointer types (*char8 → int* bug)
- Fix PrintInt ABI mismatch (int64_t → int in io.c)
- Fix Makefile test bug (_test_tmp_pkg already exists)
Documentation:
- Rewrite README.md with features, examples, project structure
- Add docs/LanguageRef.md — complete language reference
- Add docs/Stdlib.md — standard library documentation
- Add docs/BuildAndTest.md — build and test guide
New examples: strings, map, result_option, try_operator (13 total)
- Parse module paths in stdlib (module Std::Array { ... })
- Collect stdlib declarations and inject into user modules before sema
- Add dkExternFunc support throughout pipeline (parser, sema, hir, c backend)
- Auto-dereference pointer types for field access (arr->field)
- Add hArrowField HIR node for cleaner C emission
- Fix resolveTypeExpr for pointer and cast types
- Fix struct field lowering to use resolveTypeExpr
- Allow int <-> uint implicit conversion for bootstrap convenience
- Add stdlib/Std/Array.bux with dynamic array primitives
- Add stdlib_test demonstrating Array usage via import Std::Array::{Array};
- Add ekGenericCall to AST for generic function calls (Max<int>)
- Parse generic type arguments in parsePostfix
- Support generic calls in sema with type parameter substitution
- Implement monomorphization in hir_lower:
- Collect generic function declarations
- Find all generic call sites
- Generate specialized versions with mangled names (Max_int)
- Substitute type parameters with concrete types
- Add generics.bux example
Example:
func Max<T>(a: T, b: T) -> T {
if a > b { return a; }
else { return b; }
}
let m: int = Max<int>(10, 20); // Generates Max_int
