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.
Multi-field variants use Enum_Variant_Payload nested types (avoids tag name clash).
Sema resolves data.Variant.Variant_i; enum field types fully resolve tuples.
Selfhost parses full type exprs in enum payloads; emit structs/tuples before enums.
Example: examples/nested_patterns.bux (Pair::Two, Box::Val((a,c)), Shape::Dot).
Support destructuring in match arms:
- Tuple: (a, b) binds subject._0 / _1
- Struct: Point { x: px, y: py } and shorthand Point { x, y }
Bootstrap: matchPatternBindings for pkTuple/pkStruct; register local
tuple typedefs from function bodies. Selfhost: parse, Sema_BindPattern,
Lcx_PatternBindings with scope defines. Fix operator-overload path that
crashed when typeName was null after pattern binds.
Example: examples/struct_tuple_pat.bux. Selfhost-loop IDENTICAL.
Sessions 10–12 from QUALITY_PLAN:
- Pattern payload bindings (Some(value) => value) in bootstrap and selfhost
- Empty-param closures via || (tkPipePipe) with loop/return bodies
- Expression-form match: let x = match …; newline before arms
- f"…" string interpolation desugared to String_Concat + conversions
- Lexer preserves \{ \} for literal braces in f-strings
- Bootstrap fix: f"plain" strips the f prefix after escape processing
- Examples: pattern_matching, closure_control, match_let, string_interp
Selfhost-loop remains binary-identical; all examples and error goldens pass.
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
Implement MVP closures — anonymous functions without captures.
Syntax:
|a: int, b: int| -> int { return a + b; }
Changes:
- ast.bux + ast.nim: add ekClosure AST node
- parser.bux + parser.nim: parse |params| -> Ret { body }
- sema.bux + sema.nim: type-check closure params/body, return tyFunc
- hir_lower.bux + hir_lower.nim: generate __closure_N function + hAddrOf
- lir_c_backend.nim: fix function-pointer variable declaration (cParamDecl)
- C backend: closures compile to global functions with unique names
Test: _test_closure/src/Main.bux
- Closure as variable
- Closure passed to higher-order function
- Address of named function as function pointer
Both bootstrap and selfhost compilers build and pass the test.
- Add tekFunc AST node and parser support for func(Params) -> Ret
- Add tkFunc type resolution in sema and hir_lower
- Add &FuncName address-taking yielding tkMutRef(tkFunc)
- Fix C emission: function pointer params use Ret (*name)(Params) syntax
via cParamDecl helper that embeds the name inside (*)
- Fix forward declarations and temp declarations for function pointers
- Add funcPtrTypes table in C backend so &Fn temps get proper type
- Add _test_funcptr integration test
- hir_lower: add isScope=true to lowerBlock; fix resolveExprType for ekIndex,
ekField on monomorphized structs, and ekTry/ekUnwrap tmpVar typing
- lir_lower: add loop label stack for break/continue; pass null arg to
bux_task_spawn when spawn has no arguments
- lir_c_backend: multi-pass type inference for temps; include params in
varTypes; handle lvkTemp in lirLoad; use inferred type in lirAlloca
- 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
