Summary

Replaced the minimal test-parser fixture with a complete, well-documented pocket calculator implementation that serves as a comprehensive showcase of the language's grammar and features.

Key Changes

  • Replaced entire fixture: The old Vector2 generic type and basic main function have been completely replaced with a new calculator program
  • Added extensive documentation: Comprehensive comments and doc-comments explaining language features as they're used
  • Implemented calculator features:
    • Operator enum with attached symbol, precedence, and identity value maps
    • Severity enum with label and exit code maps
    • Span and Report value types with multiple constructor forms
    • Expression tree using variant and struct types
    • Environment reference type with subscript and method access
    • Cursor type demonstrating guest field borrowing
    • Evaluation and application functions with error handling
    • Generic Pair type with operator overloads
    • Comprehensive main program demonstrating language features

Notable Implementation Details

  • Enum maps: Demonstrates external data attachment to enum members via multiple independent maps
  • Constructor forms: Shows named constructors, field constructors with defaults, and implicit constructors
  • Methods: Includes both read-only (:) and mutating (!) method calls
  • Error handling: Uses abort/resolve pattern for error propagation
  • Pattern matching: Demonstrates match expressions on variants and enums with multiple scrutinees
  • Generics: Parameterized types with type parameters and number parameters
  • Borrowing: Guest fields and reference borrowing patterns
  • Operators: Custom operator definitions for both binary and prefix operators
  • Advanced features: Lambdas, pipes, guards, loops, spawn, and compiler namespace access

This fixture now comprehensively exercises the parser's capabilities across enums, variants, value/reference types, constructors, methods, operators, subscripts, lambdas, generics, and control flow.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Replaced the basic vector and arithmetic fixture with a comprehensive pocket-calculator parser scenario.
    • Added coverage for expression evaluation, error handling, pattern matching, generics, operators, lambdas, subscripting, loops, references, and spawned calls.
    • Updated the main test flow to build and evaluate expression trees and print derived results.

test-parser/main.zn was a pile of disconnected declarations that happened to
parse. Replace it with a small calculator that reads as a program: it builds
an expression tree, evaluates it against an environment of named values, and
reports what went wrong when it cannot.

The fixture still earns its keep as a syntax sample, and covers more than it
did: enum maps in both spellings — declaration and the two ways of reading one,
off a member name and through a value — plus variants and `match` over both a
variant and an enum, several scrutinees with `[ ]` selectors, all four
constructor forms, subscripts, guest fields and `&` arguments, operator and
prefix-operator definitions, generics with inline type and number parameters,
function types and both lambda spellings, abort handlers with `?` and `??`,
`spawn`, `guard`, the counted loop, and the reserved compiler namespaces.

Checked with the project's own GLR recognizer over lib/cst/parser.mly: the file
is accepted with exactly one derivation, so it stays an unambiguous sample.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The parser fixture replaces vector arithmetic tests with a pocket-calculator program. It adds calculator types, recursive evaluation, diagnostics, generic operators, language feature exercises, and a new main implementation.

Changes

Pocket calculator parser fixture

Layer / File(s) Summary
Calculator contracts and value types
test-parser/main.zn
Adds operator and severity enums, lookup maps, span and report types, constructors, mutation, and rendering methods.
Expression and environment state
test-parser/main.zn
Adds recursive expression types, environment bindings, abortable lookup, and cursor peeking.
Evaluation and diagnostic behavior
test-parser/main.zn
Adds recursive evaluation, operator application, generic helpers, severity matching, quoting, and diagnostic announcements.
Calculator fixture execution
test-parser/main.zn
Replaces the old main logic with expression construction, evaluation, failure handling, and exercises for lambdas, loops, references, generics, namespaces, and spawned calls.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c17fd

The calculator fixture currently contains a type mismatch that can prevent the example from being used as a valid language showcase, and its environment constructor still has a misleading entry-count contract. Merge should wait for these bounded fixture correctness and clarity issues to be addressed.

Comment thread test-parser/main.zn
`Environment.of` takes four pairs and marks three live, which reads as an
off-by-one unless you follow it through to `bind`. The empty slot is the room
that `bind` fills, so say so where the count is set.

187-196: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use Int for Cursor.position

Column is a distinct type and is not implicitly interchangeable with Int. The Environment subscript requires an Int, so this.env[this.position] is invalid.

Proposed minimal fix
 type Cursor = `#struct` {
   env &Environment;
-  position Column;
+  position Int;

`Cursor.position` was a `Column`, and `type Column = Int` declares a distinct
type rather than another name for one (types.md 5.1). A subscript argument is
also not one of the coercion sites (types.md 4.2), so `this.env[this.position]`
had no conversion available to it. The position is what the subscript above is
indexed by, so it takes that declaration's `Int`; `Column` stays as the sample
of the raw declaration form, with the distinction spelled out where it is
declared.

The same rule was leaving bare literals in three other places coercion does not
reach: an `init{ }` entry, a constructor header's default, and the `span` field
entry, whose implicit `Span(Offset)` cannot chain from a number literal
(types.md 4.3). All four now name the type they build.

The Cursor.position finding is right, and following the same rule through the file turned up three more of the same mistake. Fixed in e9f1d2a.

type Column = Int declares a distinct type (types.md §5.1), and a subscript argument is not among the coercion sites in §4.2, so this.env[this.position] had no conversion available to it. position is what the subscript is indexed by, so it now carries that declaration's Int. Column stays as the sample of the raw type Name = TypeExpr; form — the grammar production is worth exercising — with the distinction from Offset (an alias, so interchangeable) spelled out where both are declared.

§4.2 also excludes init{ } entries and symbol declarations, and §4.3 forbids chaining, which left three more bare literals unreachable by coercion:

  • init{ start, length = 1 } in the three Span constructors, and _count = 3 / position = 0init{ } is explicitly not a coercion site, so these now read Int(1), Int(3), Int(0).
  • summary Report{ …, span = 3 } — a field entry is a coercion site, but the only implicit is Span(Offset), and @concepts$Number → Int → Span is a chain. Now span = Int(3), which is the single step the implicit constructor is there to demonstrate.

Enum-map entries keep their bare literals (add = 1, red = "Red"), matching the spelling in adt.md §6's own example.

Re-checked with the project's GLR recognizer over lib/cst/parser.mly: accepted, one derivation.
