- Add tekRef and tekMutRef to TypeExpr enum (ast.bux)
- Parse &T and &mut T in parserParseType, before *T handling (parser.bux)
- Map tekRef/tekMutRef to tyPointer in HIR lowering (hir_lower.bux)
- Both emit as T* in C backend (same as raw pointer)
- Borrow checker rejects write-through-pointer in @[Checked] functions
for all pointer types (safe default)
- Add isChecked field to Decl struct (ast.bux)
- Parse @[Checked] attribute in parserParseDecl (parser.bux)
- Add checkedFunc flag and movedVars to Sema struct (sema.bux)
- Enable borrow checking per-function in Sema_Analyze
- Reject assignment through raw pointer (*T) in @[Checked] functions
- Skip newlines between @[Checked] attribute and the declaration keyword
to avoid parser seeing the attribute and function as separate decls
- 'bux test [dir]' builds the project and runs the resulting binary,
reporting 'Tests passed' or 'Tests failed (exit code N)'.
- Builds on existing Cli_BuildProject pipeline — test code goes in
src/ alongside production code; test assertions use lib/Test.bux.
- 'buxc new <name>': creates a new Bux project directory with bux.toml
and src/Main.bux. Supports both relative names and absolute paths.
- 'buxc init': initializes a Bux project in the current directory.
- Adds extern bux_getcwd() and bux_path_parent() declarations.
- Fix mkdir return value check (bux_mkdir_if_needed returns 0 on success).
- Extract package name from path for absolute path arguments.
Add golden tests for: structs, generics, algebraic_enums, enums,
methods, strings. Each test captures the expected C output from the
bootstrap compiler for regression detection.
Also remove leftover 'PARSER FIX V2 ACTIVE' debug print from parser.bux.
- 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.
- Remove DEBUG prints from c_backend.bux, hir_lower.bux, lexer.bux, parser.bux
- Remove HACK for stray } in parserParseFuncDecl (no longer needed after
Decl refactor in 4a86009)
- Clean selfhost check/build output
- 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
- 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
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.
- Add operatorMethodName mapping (tkPlus -> operator_add, etc.)
- Add tryLowerOperatorCall / tryLowerIndexCall in HIR lowerer
- Modify ekBinary lowering to check method table before builtins
- Modify ekAssign lowering to detect ekIndex target and emit
operator_index_set method call when available
- Add sema type-checking for operator overloads in ekBinary
and ekIndex paths (method-table lookup before builtin rules)
- Fix sema compile errors: minfo.params[N].typ -> minfo.params[N]
- Fix hir_lower forward decl ordering for resolveExprType
- Update golden test expected.c files for current C backend
- Update ROADMAP.md and PHASE8_STRATEGY.md status
- Add syntax
- Desugars to if-else chain in HIR lowering (both compilers)
- No new HIR/C backend nodes needed — reuses hIf/hBinary/hBlock
- Supports integer, char, and enum tag dispatch
- Case body can be single statement (no braces required)
- Add statement for function-level deferred execution
- Deferred expressions run in LIFO order on function exit (return or implicit)
- Bootstrap: desugar defers in hir_lower.nim (inject before return + end of func)
- Selfhost: emit defers in c_backend.bux via CEmitter defer stack
- Both: add tkDefer token, skDefer AST node, hDefer HIR node
- Parser, lexer, sema, token files updated in both bootstrap/ and src/
- Add String_IsNull and String_Offset wrappers in lib/String.bux
- Add bux_str_is_null and bux_str_offset runtime functions in rt/runtime.c
- Update String_Replace to use String_IsNull instead of String_Len(pos)==0
- Replace pointer-to-uint casts (as uint == 0, pointer arithmetic) across apps/
- Parser newline skipping fixes in src/parser.bux
bux_sb_build returned sb->buf and then bux_sb_free freed it,
causing dangling pointers in all callers of StringBuilder_Build
followed by StringBuilder_Free (e.g. JsonParser_ParseString, Fmt).
Fix: bux_sb_build now detaches the buffer (sets sb->buf = NULL)
before returning it, so bux_sb_free only frees the sb struct.
This transfers buffer ownership to the caller.
Backtick strings were emitted directly into C code without
stripping the backticks or escaping the content, causing C syntax errors.
Fix: detect backtick-wrapped literals in CBE_EmitExpr, strip
the backticks, escape inner content, and wrap in double quotes.
Simple enums were emitted as plain C enums, but the rest of the codegen
(and source code) expected them to have a .tag field like algebraic enums.
This caused C compilation errors:
- 'request for member tag in something not a structure or union'
- 'field name not in record or union initializer'
Fix: always emit the _Tag typedef + struct wrapper for every enum.
For simple enums, the struct only contains the tag (no _Data union).
For algebraic enums, keep the existing _Data union + struct behavior.
This matches the bootstrap compiler's enum codegen.
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).
parserParseImportDecl now skips tkNewLine tokens inside {..} blocks,
matching the bootstrap parser behavior. This fixes parsing of imports
with names on separate lines, e.g.:
import Std::String::{
String_Eq,
String_Len
};
Previously the parser failed because it expected tkIdent immediately
after { but encountered tkNewLine instead.
hir_lower.resolveExprType for ekField now correctly resolves variant
positional/named fields (e.g., r.data.Ok_0, r.data.Err_0) on _Data
union types, matching the existing logic in sema.checkExpr.
This fixes the runtime segfault in examples/algebraic_enums.bux where
the C backend emitted an int temporary for a String field, causing
PrintLine to dereference a garbage pointer.
- Fix bootstrap sema to type simple enum variants as the enum itself
(not _Tag), and .tag access returns the enum type.
- Fix hir_lower to lower simple enum .tag as no-op and Enum{tag:X}
init as X directly.
- Fix sema collectGlobals to register imports AFTER real declarations,
preventing duplicate-symbol errors when stdlib files import symbols
defined in later files (e.g. jwt.bux importing rsa.bux).
- Rewrite lib/crypto/*.bux as single-line to work around bootstrap
parser limitations with multi-line function calls.
- Rename 'pub' -> 'pubBuf' in ed25519.bux and jwt-pitbul/Main.bux
to avoid reserved keyword collision.
- Remove algTag:int workaround from jwt-pitbul/Main.bux; enum
comparisons now type-check without manual casts.
- Update .gitignore to exclude _test_*/ and backup files.
- Delete accidentally-committed _test_array/ directory.
Parser would hang (infinite loop) when encountering newline tokens
inside certain constructs because expect() returns without advancing
position when the expected token doesn't match.
Fixed 5 places in parseBaseType, parsePrimaryPattern, parseTypeParams,
parseParamList, and parseUseDecl by adding newline-skipping at the
start of each iteration.
Verified: compiler no longer hangs/crashes on all 3 real-world apps
from apps/ (boko-framework, jwt-pitbul, nexus).
- README: bump version to v0.4.0, add selfhost loop & borrow/shared
- Stdlib.md: update sections 1-4, add String_Chars, FromBool, Fmt, Iter
- BuildAndTest.md: add make selfhost-loop and make test-golden targets
- Standard library list updated to all 23 modules
- examples/borrow.bux: working borrow expression example
- tests/borrow_test.nim: add 4 new tests for borrow & @[Shared]
- parser.nim: fix borrow parsing order (& before mut)
- Build verified: example compiles and runs
This workaround consumes a stray } that parserParseBlock sometimes leaves
behind, which was causing the module handler to exit early. With this fix,
the selfhost compiler (buxc2) can now compile the entire src/ project.
- buxc2 project build: 491 user + 310 stdlib = 801 decls, no sema errors
- make selfhost-loop: builds and runs both passes
- C compilation succeeds, resulting binary works
