I've removed the untyped literals, I wrote something about it: https://c3.handmade.network/blog/p/8168-removing_features%252C_gaining_freedom
I've been implementing some of the programming language shootout tasks... here is mandelbrot:
C3 got string (actually slice) matching. This outputs
This works This works too Winning!
So this experimental stuff works now with this output:
Hex array: Open the pod bay doors Base64 array: Open the pod bay doors Multi line: Say hello, to my little friend... Raw string: C:\foo\raw.dll
Thanks to the hard work by the contributor kvk1920 C3C is now up and running on Windows under Mingw and MSYS2 with CI! 🥳
I had to do ad hoc lexing for feature, but I'll end up reusing it for a lot of other compile time functions later on:
Doing test_param(11, 10); gives:
Assert violation 'Invalid input' on line 159, in file 'debugstuff.c3'.
This prints:
156:
157: /**
158: * @param x - one parameter
159: * @param y - other parameter
^
(debugstuff.c3:159) Error: There is no parameter 'y', did you misspell it?
So this now works, with an output of:
Repeat 1 Repeat 2 Repeat 3 Repeat 4 Repeat 5 Repeat 6 Repeat 7 Repeat 8 Repeat 9 Repeat 10 111 121 4 77
I added this for enums, it's sometimes useful (printing Min -5 Max 14 Elements: 3)
Finally some generic module code up and running. Defining some parameterized functions and types.
Sum integers using recursion, slices and typed varargs... 😅 (call using sum_us(1, 3, 5, 11))
Ok so this works now, but it's using alloca to copy the slice. I don't know how I feel about that. In safe mode you'll get a panic if you exceed MAX_PARAMS, but currently not in non-safe. I might mask this though.
Piecemeal adding some welcome library functionality while checking how the macros/function namespacing looks in the wild (not perfect yet):
Took a little while but constant aggregates are now spliced in a fairly efficient format from what I can see. This one would take gigabytes of memory to describe for Clang:
I started programming in the golden days of home computers in the 80s. I never really intended for a career as a programmer, instead I was planning on doing theoretical physics, but I got a job as a programmer almost by accident and here I am over 20 years later. I'm a co-founder of AEGIK AB, a small company that is doing consultant work and building games. I'm also working on the C3 language in my spare time.
