Changes / improvements

  • Const vector → const slice implicit conversion.
  • Slicing arrays, slices and bytes at compile time #1466.
  • Better error for int a[4] = .... #1518
  • Better error for int Foo(int a) declarations #1516
  • Improve error message in the case of MyInterface x = foo; #1522
  • Deprecate @adhoc, allow non-nested ad hoc generic types.
  • Constant bytes <=> char conversion should work #1514.
  • Infer now works across ternary.
  • Interfaces now support .ptr and .type directly without casting to any.
  • Switch to <* *> docs.
  • Improve error messages on expressions like var $type = int; #1553.

  • io::print will now print structs.
  • Improve error message when using void aliases as variable storage type.
  • Add a target type: “prepare” which doesn’t compile anything (but may run exec)

Fixes

  • Unsupported int[*] $x = { 1, 2, 3, 4 } #1489.
  • Unexpected compile error using a typed constant with copysign #1517
  • Incorrect subscript resolution #1519.
  • Segfault with passing a program with - using stdin.
  • Using no module with - would reject the program.
  • Unintended deref of pointers with methods caused regression with hash function.
  • Fix broken sincos function.
  • Bug when a continue is copied in a defer.
  • Compiler error when any/interface initialized using {} #1533.
  • Bug when defers and $if were combined in a macro, which would cause miscompilation.
  • Fixes to the CSV reader.
  • Crash returning struct or vector from function using ternary expression #1537.
  • Improved error message on invalid subscript index type #1535.
  • Improved error message when declaring a variable void!.
  • Cannot use void as a generic parameter #1546
  • Interfaces not correctly copied with generics #1545
  • Memory leak in keys.new_list fixed.
  • Standard library is now correctly weakly linked, fixing the use of C3 .so together with executable. #1549, #1107.
  • Wrong error message for interface methods with body #1536.
  • Empty expression block would crash compiler with debug on #1554.
  • Improve infer conversions on constants, e.g. ZString a = foo ? "a" : "b"; #1561
  • Show error when declarations do not start with fn in interfaces. #1565
  • if (try foo) was handled incorrectly inside a defer.
  • &self argument not implicitly null checked. #1556.
  • (uptr)&((Foo*)null).a incorrectly inserts a null check. #1544
  • Incorrect error message when $eval is provided an invalid string. #1570
  • HashMap.copy_keys did not properly copy keys which needed to be allocated #1569
  • Named vector component access would not fold at compile time. #1574
  • $define would occasionally not properly evaluate declarations it encountered.
  • Fixes with error handling recursive @tag #1583.
  • Sometimes generating introspection info would not be in the global scope causing a crash #1586.
  • @tag on macros cannot be retrieved with tagof #1582
  • Taking the $typeof of a wildcard optional returns void!.

Stdlib changes

  • Remove unintended print of char[] as String
