- Create child scope in Sema_CheckBlock for every block, matching
bootstrap sema.nim behavior (newScope for ekBlock).
- Fixes "var scoping bug in selfhost sema" where variables declared
with var inside if/while blocks shared parent function scope, causing
duplicate-definition errors between sibling if/else blocks, and C
scoping mismatch between user variables and compiled output.
- Remove stale workaround comments from lib/Json.bux (let instead of
var inside if blocks — no longer needed).
- Update sema.bux TODO comment for type table.
- Replace Decl's 256 inline struct fields with dynamic fields: *StructField
array to avoid parser field limit truncation and name shifts.
- Update parser.bux and hir_lower.bux to use decl.fields[i].
- Fix uninitialized Symbol.refType in three stack-allocated Symbol sites:
loopSym (for-loop iterator), vSym (enum variants), and HIR param sym.
Garbage refType values (e.g. 0xFF) were leaking into scope tables,
later copied to expr->refType, causing SIGSEGV in Lcx_LowerExpr.
- Add tekFunc AST node and TypeExprList linked list for params
- Parse func(T, U) -> R syntax in parser.bux
- Resolve tekFunc to tyFunc in sema.bux
- Track original TypeExpr via Symbol.refType for params/lets/consts/funcs
- Build C function-pointer type names in hir_lower.bux (Ret (*)(Params))
- Lower indirect calls through function-typed values as hCallIndirect
- Add CBE_CParamDecl helper in c_backend.bux to embed name inside (*)
- Emit hCallIndirect and function-pointer variable declarations
- _test_funcptr now builds and runs with selfhost buxc2
Bootstrap compiler:
- ast.nim: add exprCallArgNames to ekCall for named arg tracking
- parser.nim: detect name: value syntax in call args
- sema.nim: add resolveCallArgs helper that injects default values
for missing params and reorders named args into param order.
Parser already parsed default param values; sema now uses them.
Selfhost compiler:
- ast.bux: add defaultExpr to Param, argName to ExprList
- parser.bux: parse = defaultExpr in param list, detect name: value
syntax in call arguments
- sema.bux: add Sema_ResolveCallArgs with same logic as bootstrap
Tests:
- _test_named_params verifies defaults, named args, mixed positional+named,
and named args with defaults in both compilers.
All verifications pass: build, selfhost-loop, test-examples, test-golden.
The selfhost parser did not skip tkNewLine tokens inside expression parsing,
causing multi-line expressions (e.g. if conditions spanning lines with ||)
to be truncated. When parserParseBinaryPrec hit a newline it treated it as
an invalid primary, returning a malformed literal and leaving p.pos at the
newline. parserParseBlock then failed to find '{' and its depth-counter
fallback consumed far too many tokens, causing subsequent function bodies
to be parsed into the wrong AST nodes.
Fix: add newline skipping in parserParsePrimary, parserParseUnary, and
parserParseBinaryPrec, matching the bootstrap parser's skipNewlines() calls
in parseAnd/parseOr.
Also complete the variant cap raise from 8->9 in src/sema.bux (was already
done in ast.bux, parser.bux, hir_lower.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
- ast.bux: Decl expanded with field0..field255, variant0..7, param0..8
- parser.bux: add parserParseUnary for correct unary precedence; handle tkDiscard statements; allow var without initializer (matching bootstrap); add diagCount bounds check in parserEmitDiag
- hir.bux: HirParam changed to pointers
- hir_lower.bux: full field chains for struct lowering
- c_backend.bux: hardened -> vs . field access; null checks in CBE_GetExprTypeName
- cli.bux: add -lcrypto to linker
- 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)
