Lexer (src_bux/lexer.bux):
- Rewrote lexSkipWhitespace to use nested if/else instead of else-if
chain (workaround for Nim C backend else-if lowering bug)
- lexPeek: mask with & 255 for UTF-8 signed char bytes
Known: buxc2 project build hangs on ast.bux parsing (infinite loop).
buxc2 single-file build works correctly with else-if.
All 18 examples pass, all unit tests pass.
Parser (src_bux/parser.bux):
- Block stores statements as linked list (firstStmt/lastStmt/nextStmt)
- Block struct: added firstStmt, lastStmt fields
- Stmt struct: added nextStmt field
HIR Lowering (src_bux/hir_lower.bux):
- Lcx_LowerBlock: iterates statement linked list, chains HirNodes via child3
- hIf: else block stored in extraData (child3 reserved for block chaining)
C Backend (src_bux/c_backend.bux):
- hBlock: emits statements via child3 linked list with proper indentation
- hStore: combines alloca + value into single declaration (int x = value;)
- hIf: full if/else emission with proper newlines
- Function decl: proper return types and parameter types (not just "int")
- int main() wrapper: generated when Main function exists
- No duplicate return 0 when body already has return
Tested:
- buxc2 compiles hello world program → runs correctly
- buxc2 compiles multi-statement program (let, if, function calls) → runs correctly
- All 18 examples still pass, all unit tests pass
Runtime:
- bux_argc()/bux_argv() — command-line arg access from Bux programs
- g_argc/g_argv globals — set by C main() wrapper
Compiler:
- C backend generates extern g_argc/g_argv + int main(argc,argv) wrapper
- main.bux reads args via bux_argc/bux_argv and passes to Cli_Run
buxc2 verified:
- buxc2 version — reads CLI args correctly
- buxc2 check <file.bux> — lexes, parses, type-checks, generates C
- buxc2 build <file.bux> <output.c> — writes C output
PLAN.md updated with Phase 7.10 status and remaining work.
All 18 examples pass, all unit tests pass.
