dimgigov cb256397bd Phase 7.9: Self-hosted compiler buxc2 builds and runs! 🎉
buxc (Nim bootstrap) successfully compiles buxc2 (Bux self-hosted compiler)
into a working 88KB ELF x86-64 binary.

Compiler fixes (Nim):
- duplicate symbol: user funcs shadow stdlib funcs via mergeDecls()
- forward declarations: func without body + definition (both orderings)
- extern func dedup: same extern in multiple files
- discard keyword: new language keyword, lowered to expr stmt or no-op
- parser: keywords as field names + advance-on-error safeguard
- parser: var without initializer (zero-init)
- parser: multi-line || && continuation expressions
- parser: else-if chain newline handling
- C backend: const declarations emitted as #define
- C backend: load(field_ptr) → base.field optimization (fixes lvalue errors)

Source fixes (src_bux/*.bux):
- types.bux: tk* → ty* prefix for type kind constants (avoid token conflict)
- sema.bux: remaining tk* → ty* references, StringMap → *void workaround
- hir_lower.bux: ekReturn removed, Lcx_LowerParam helper, *f dereference
- c_backend.bux: &mod.funcs[i] for pointer passing
- cli.bux: ReadFile/WriteFile → bux_read_file/bux_write_file wrappers
- parser.bux: pathStr.len → String_Len(pathStr)
- types.bux: "*" + x → String_Concat("*", x)

Build system:
- Makefile: added 4 missing examples + selfhost target
- PLAN.md: updated with actual project state, Phase 7.9 marked complete

All 18 examples pass, all unit tests pass.

dimgigov 9f733aca7d feat: generic struct monomorphization + tkUnknown fix
- Add generic struct instantiation (Box<int>, Pair<T,U>) in HIR lowering
- Fix tkUnknown/tkNamed/tkTypeParam ambiguity in sema.nim (qualify with TypeKind)
- Add generics_struct example
- Update Makefile with new example

dimgigov 7ee6a73ea4 feat: Std::String, Std::Map, Result/Option, ? operator, sizeof fix, docs
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)

dimgigov 8e74215378 feat: add HIR, C backend, and end-to-end compilation
- Phase 3: High-Level IR (HIR) with lowering from AST
  - Method call desugaring (obj.method() → Type_method(obj))
  - if/else, while, loop, break, continue lowering
  - struct, enum, function lowering
  - 8 HIR tests passing

- Phase 5A: C backend code generation
  - Type mapping (Bux types → C11 types)
  - Expression and statement emission
  - Struct, enum, function generation
  - C main() wrapper for Bux Main()

- Runtime shim (stdlib/runtime.c)
  - bux_alloc, bux_free, bux_print, bux_panic
  - BuxString, BuxSlice types
  - Bounds checking, division by zero

- Build integration
  - bux build: lex → parse → sema → HIR → C → cc
  - bux run: build + execute
  - bux clean: remove build directory

- Parser fixes
  - Newline handling in struct, enum, extend, interface blocks
  - self keyword as expression and parameter name

- Sema improvements
  - Method resolution (extend blocks)
  - Interface conformance checking
  - collectGlobals made public

- All 70 tests passing (25 lexer + 16 parser + 21 sema + 8 HIR)
- End-to-end: Bux programs compile to native ELF64 binaries
