* analyzer: close the ownership gaps that stopped the compiler compiling itselfGravatar zinc 13 days11-11/+154
| | | | | | | | | | | | an owned local can now move into a released owner declared in the same or an outer block, and g = m*x lends a local owner to a global until the global is assigned again in the same block. leaving that block, giving the local away, or returning while the lend is open is an error. recasting a plain local now names it and says it has no ownership to recast. methdef and syntax_resident use the supported spellings, so make genome reaches its fixpoint from a clean checkout. runerr.sh reads the first // expect: line, since the include headers moved it off line 1.
* docs: archive the frozen stage code as one compressed tarballGravatar Moon Flower 13 days378-50280/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | docs/history kept six stages with a full copy of the project under code/, 3.8 mb of sources duplicated from stage to stage and already superseded. store them as docs/history/code-snapshots.tar.gz, 0.66 mb, and extract one in place to read it. every stage's notes.md stays browsable, and the index says where the code went and how to get it back. the top-level README points at the archive too. its other two links into docs/history, 21-micro and 35-bench, were notes that were never kept and do not resolve; the index now records that.
* todo: sync docs, examples and fixtures with the include format, and test ↵Gravatar Moon Flower 13 days1-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | actor and icon two items. first, documentation, examples, learn entries, history notes and expected-output fixtures still carry bare runtime builtin names from before the namespace work; the suite gates the snippets it exercises but not the rest. second, actor and icon each need their own accept, reject and regression coverage once they land, including the constraint that no actor code is reachable from the compiler by default.
* fix: emit rt.put_c from the brainfuck translatorGravatar Moon Flower 13 days1-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | the translator writes zc source that is compiled again by evals, so the generated call has to carry the namespace the runtime now requires. a bare put_c failed with "put_c is used but never defined"; rt.put_c runs and prints hello world. reconstructed after this edit was lost to a stash rewrite during the history purge; verified against the reported failure and success, not by a rebuild, since the bootstrap cannot currently produce an interpreter.
* rename ASKLIST.md to TASKLIST.mdGravatar Moon Flower 13 days1-1/+1
| | | | the ask list is the task list; there was no reason to carry a separate name.
* docs: point the ask list at the bootstrap writeupGravatar Moon Flower 13 days1-0/+41
| | | | | | | there is no TASKLIST file, so this goes in ASKLIST.md, which is the task list. adds a follow-up section ahead of the transcript, since the bootstrap blockers were found after that session closed rather than during it, and a row in the grouped index linking docs/BOOTSTRAP-OWNERSHIP.md.
* docs: record the two ownership gaps that block the bootstrapGravatar Moon Flower 13 days4-0/+178
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | `make genome` cannot complete: the second bootstrap stage runs the lifetime checker over the compiler's own source, which reports 8 errors, and mkgenome then reads the diagnostics as an image. the two limits are that an owned value held in a local has no move into another local — every accepted move originates at a call, so the free-then-replace rule only applies when the replacement comes from a call result — and that a local cannot be lent to a global, so redirecting the output stream at a scratch buffer needs a module-level variable. neither limit accepts an unsafe program; both refuse correct ones, so this is a completeness gap rather than a soundness failure. document the affected code, the diagnostics, what was tried and how each attempt failed, and a proposal. add src/tools/bootstrap-check.sh, which rebuilds both bootstrap stages and prints the compiler's diagnostics on its own source instead of the word dump.
* build: generate everything into build/, keep src/ free of generated filesGravatar Moon Flower 13 days18-114/+246
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | src/ carried 8.4 MB of build output: the genome header, the javascript vm and its layout, and the language-server image, plus a second copy of the extension server under editors/vscode/server/. none of it is source. - move the genome from src/core/genome.h to build/core/genome.h and compile with -Ibuild/core; `make all` bootstraps one when it is missing - write genome.json, layout.ts, layout.js and lsp.json to build/js/ - compile tinyvm.ts to build/js/, typed by a tracked src/js/layout.d.ts so the vm needs no generated file beside its source - build the wasm server into build/editors/vscode/server/ and stage the whole server into editors/vscode/server/ only while mkvsix.sh packages it - redirect the test suite, image_run.js, tinyvm.sh, tinyvm.bat, test_win.ps1 and the baremetal build at the new paths, and add make lspimage and make vsix - stop tracking every generated file also fix a build blocker: lookup_raw compared skind against K_VAR, which was never declared, so `make genome` could not run at all. the guard is about emitted program globals, which are K_GVAR and K_GARR. tests/test.sh -q reports 159 passed and 21 failed both before and after this change; every failure is pre-existing and comes from the checked-in genome being stale relative to src/, plus the bootstrap above.
* feat: grow memory limits, add icon/actor libraries, overhaul LSP diagnosticsGravatar Moon Flower 13 days495-3614/+15644
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Compiler and VM - make every memory map limit dynamic and adjustable at both build time and runtime, including compiler tables, stacks, and every execution region - reserve and grow tables, operand and return stacks, frame segments, and image-building output without relocating live code or globals - rename i/o and string helpers consistently (puts -> put_s, putn -> put_n, scat -> cat_s) across compiler, runtime, examples, tests, and docs - recast and consume values assigned to globals from inside functions - allow fixed and const together, add typed closure returns (fn:t(...)), multi-include syntax (include rt, run, core;), and recurse type inference - never infer string literals as word, anywhere, as argument, variable, or return type - draft docs/BORROW.md: a borrow checker less intrusive than Rust's but more intelligent LSP and editor integration - require explicit includes and give every toolchain area its own namespace (rt, lsp, run, core) - hover for built-in types, inferred types, values known at hover time, array and pointer lifetime/size, library names in include statements, and inferred lifetimes with explanations - honor /* */ comments as documentation for variables and arguments, and stop misattributing section headers or trailing comments as variable hints - stream diagnostics and cancel stale requests on change - jump to definition and references, including cross-file - quick fixes with automatic library import, and namespace completion Hints and diagnostics - render hints as blue squigglies by default, with hints on/small/off per file - suppress magic-number hints via a preceding /* */ comment, and say so - warn on unused arguments; allow multiple _ discards in parameters, pattern matching, and tagged enums, warning if a _ is actually used - rewrite hint and comment prose in professional compiler-doc register Libraries - add icon.zc: run-time self-modification, find/replace syntax, type and block edits, and step-through inspection of locals and globals - add actor.zc: async actors with Actor<I,O>, implicit this, spawn/recv/send, injected into the compiler machinery at include time rather than built in Tooling and docs - reorganize sources, tests, and designs into subdirectories - unify windows entry points in tinyvm.bat and add a matching tinyvm.sh - add --help across the toolchain - polish the learning guide, stdlib docs, and design notes Tests - add accept, reject, and regression coverage across the compiler, LSP, - runtime, icon, actors, threads, formatting, and the toolchain contracts, plus fuzzers and property tests
