| * zc: add the defer statementGravatar zinc 2026-10-146-2/+117
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | defer expr; and defer { ... } register code that runs when the enclosing block ends: at the end of the block, and at return, break and continue that leave it. the tokens are kept at the defer and compiled again at each exit (block_close, body, kw_return, kw_break, kw_continue), newest first, before the block's variables are released, so the analyzer sees a deferred rt.free(p) as the transfer of p where it runs. names mean what they meant at the defer; values are read when it runs. return, break and continue inside a deferred statement are errors, reported once. works in unchecked code and closures (own base per function context).
* | fix std hover, full capture terminator, bare static calls, void main in ↵Gravatar zinc 2026-10-142-3/+7
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | run-only images - hover: a symbol from an embedded library source (tinyvm:std.zc, tinyvm:icon.zc) was looked up only in the document; look it up by its qualified name in the library source (hover_embedded_sym), and render a method found that way by its line (bs_hover). - std.capture: allocate one word more than the 256 it holds, so end() terminates inside the buffer. - a bare call to a static function of the enclosing struct resolves like a bare struct constant (mstruct is set for every non-generic struct's methods); the struct's own wins over a global. - run.zc declares main untyped (fn main();), so a run-only image accepts int, void or untyped main with both compilers.
* split compiler.zc into files by phaseGravatar zinc 2026-10-1414-10458/+10470
| | | | | | | | | | | | src/compiler/compiler.zc is now twelve files under src/compiler/, listed in order in src/compiler/parts. cat of the parts in order is byte-identical to the old file, so every compiler and image except the language server's is unchanged. no function was edited. consumers read the list: the makefile, bootstrap-check, genmap (which still writes one compiler.zc into a generated map directory), tinyvm.bat, test.sh, test_win.ps1 and the lsp drivers. the language server embeds each part and serves them joined as the one document tinyvm:/compiler.zc.

| * add c-style typedef and a built-in string aliasGravatar zinc 2026-10-141-7/+100
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | typedef T name; binds name to the type record of T, at the top level or in a function (scoped to its block). string is a built-in alias for char*. A type name straight before , or ) in a parameter list is the parameter's name, so fn f(string) still works. The language server shows typedef T name; on hover and highlights typedef as a keyword.
* | constants inside structs, and typo suggestions for fields and static membersGravatar zinc 2026-10-141-7/+117
|/ | | | | | | | const NAME = e; inside a struct body declares a compile-time constant named Struct.NAME, reached as Struct.NAME or by bare name in the struct's methods. A misspelled field or Struct.name member now ends its error with '; did you mean 'name'?' on the member word, which the language server turns into a quick fix.
* todo: one sorted list of open work; library suggestions without naming librariesGravatar zinc 2026-10-141-17/+59
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | TODO.md ticks the items verified done (namespaces, actor and icon libraries and their coverage, the genome embed, the bootstrap ownership limits, the docs and fixtures sweep) and lists everything still open, including the newly requested language features, sorted easiest first. the compiler no longer names actor: file libraries for suggestions come from src/lib/modules.txt, and lib.name before its include reports the missing include. icon gains fixtures for reading globals while stepping and for begin_function on a non-function, and the suite checks that nothing the compiler reads by default mentions actors. bf.zc, the web sample and std's capture example use qualified runtime names; LEARN.md uses build/bin paths.
* zc: untyped local const, c precedence for && and ||, import fixes for every ↵Gravatar zinc 2026-10-141-19/+166
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | module const name = value; inside a function declares a local constant that takes the initializer's type. the let quick fix now writes a bare const. the self-hosted compiler bound || tighter than &&, unlike zc0 and the readme. no existing source mixed them without parentheses, so only new code was affected. missing-name diagnostics and their quick fixes now search every module: rt, core, run, loaded files, and std, icon and actor scanned from source, including static groups (std.Text.itoa). typos suggest module exports (putc -> rt.put_c) and get a change-to fix.
* lsp: quick fixes for hints and bare library names; comment cleanupGravatar zinc 2026-10-141-267/+295
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | an undefined bare name that a module exports now says which one: "put_c is used but never defined; did you mean to include rt and use rt.put_c?", and the import quick fix is titled the same way and marked preferred when it is the only one, so the editor's auto-fix applies it. hints gain quick fixes that keep the program's meaning: an unused parameter, or a local with no other use, is renamed to _; a constant local with one declarator becomes const; a power-of-two multiply becomes a parenthesized shift (not when a * / or % binds its left operand); and let p = rt.new(n) with a small constant becomes let p[n]. the hints no longer fire for _ discards or for locals already declared const. whole-line /* */ comments in zc sources are // comments now, and //: is gone from the maintained sources: the notes it marked were mostly the documentation of the declaration below, which hovers now show. section headers are separated from the declarations after them.
* embed: tests, editor support and docs; js vm file access; test fixesGravatar zinc 2026-10-141-7/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | embed declarations get accept and reject fixtures, a run-only image check through zc0, an lsp keyword hover and the grammar keyword. errors point at the declaration and still declare the name, so its uses are not reported again. zc0 tracks byte-string globals and lays embedded arrays out one word per element, the way its own indexing reads them. the command-line javascript vm reaches node's file system for the file syscalls, so include and embed work there; other embedders opt in. the web build is self-contained in build/web with its examples. README, BORROW and BOOTSTRAP-OWNERSHIP describe the new build and ownership rules, and ONBOARD.md is a reading and verification order for the code. the suite passes the map header to mklayout, the wasm fuzz program uses the include format, and lsp drivers scale their deadlines on hosts without the arm64 jit (ZC_TEST_TIMEOUT_SCALE). LLVM_CONFIG selects an llvm with headers for the llvm section.
