Blocks can yield a value: last expression statement is the result.
Match arms accept block bodies, so multi-statement arms work:
match n {
1 => { let a = 10; a + 1 },
_ => 0
}
Bootstrap: lowerBlock(asExpr) lifts the trailing skExpr. Selfhost: parse
{...} as ekBlock, emit __blk_N yield temps (retTypeKind -2), and treat
only non-empty strValue as match/block yield. Nested enum/struct pattern
bindings recurse in both compilers.
Example: match_block.bux. Selfhost-loop remains binary-identical.
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.
- Mark capture-less closures as ✅ Done in ROADMAP
- Add closure syntax examples to LanguageRef.md Functions section
- Update PHASE8_STRATEGY.md Milestone A with closures
Updated documentation to reflect changes from the last 2 days:
ROADMAP.md:
- Mark string interpolation, named/default params, bux fmt/test/new/init,
and basic borrow checker as ✅ Done
- Update Recommended Order (next: closures)
PHASE8_STRATEGY.md:
- Update date, achievements, and milestone statuses
- Borrow checker is now ✅ working in selfhost
- CTFE, LSP, formatter, test runner marked done where applicable
LanguageRef.md:
- Add defer, switch/case, string interpolation (f"...")
- Add &T, &mut T, own T to composite types
- Add named/default parameters and operator overloading sections
- Expand @[Checked] rules with double-mut-borrow and use-after-move
- Update keywords and operators
STRATEGY.md:
- Update date and version (0.3.0 selfhost)
- Mark 8.2 borrow checker, 8.4 CTFE, 8.7 LSP as ✅
BuildAndTest.md:
- Add bux init, bux fmt, bux test commands
- Expand test sections with golden tests and Std::Test
Self-hosted compiler (buxc2):
- Add async/await/spawn tokens, parsing, HIR, lowering, C emission
- Fix pointer type emission (*T -> T*) in C backend
- Fix sizeof(Type) parsing with parentheses
- Fix import ::{...} infinite loop guard
- Fix int64 emission by avoiding else-if chain workaround
- Add debug-free cli and hir_lower
Bootstrap compiler (Nim):
- Fix critical else-if lowering bug in hir_lower.nim:
when both elseIfs and else block exist, elseIfs were dropped
causing all else-if chains to collapse to if+else only
Runtime:
- Fix bux_async_await memory corruption (don't free in run)
- Add bux_remove_from_ready for safe cleanup
- Fix forward declaration and deduplicate bux_now_ms
Docs & examples:
- Update async.bux example with proper int64 params
- Update README, LanguageRef, Stdlib, PLAN for async features
- Mark Phase 7.10 bootstrap loop as completed
All 27 examples pass. buxc2 check/build work on all examples.
Add standard library modules:
- Std::String: strlen, strcmp, concat, copy, starts_with wrappers
- Std::Map: linear-probing hash map with String keys, int values
Add error handling:
- Result and Option algebraic enum examples
- ? try operator for automatic error propagation in HIR lowering
Compiler bugfixes:
- Fix sizeof() for user-defined structs (new hSizeOf HIR node)
- Fix HIR type lowering for char8, bool8, int8, uint8, etc.
- Fix let statement lowering for pointer types (*char8 → int* bug)
- Fix PrintInt ABI mismatch (int64_t → int in io.c)
- Fix Makefile test bug (_test_tmp_pkg already exists)
Documentation:
- Rewrite README.md with features, examples, project structure
- Add docs/LanguageRef.md — complete language reference
- Add docs/Stdlib.md — standard library documentation
- Add docs/BuildAndTest.md — build and test guide
New examples: strings, map, result_option, try_operator (13 total)
