Sessions 56–69: declarative macro! with rep/zip/literal/block and
unhygienic var $name binders; partial field-move skip Drop; @[Release]
polish; LSP type hierarchy; CI Nim cache + lean macOS + Windows smoke.
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.
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
- 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)
- 42 LIR instructions in bootstrap/lir.nim
- HIR→LIR lowering in bootstrap/lir_lower.nim
- LIR→C emission with full struct/enum/vtable support
- All 22 examples + 5 Nim unit tests passing
- Updated README status and backend description
