2026-10-30docs(types): explain implicit constructors and raw text literalsHEADmain_ov4
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-28docs(overload): document default return selection_ov4
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-27docs(preprocessor): document switches and library regions_ov4
Add manuals and aliases for all five PP directives, replace the retired #LIB page, and update compiler and shared-editor architecture notes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-27docs(memory): describe standard-library allocation and explicit imports_ov4
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-24docs(overload): document return-type selection across keyword pages_ov4
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-22feat(codegen): convert implicitly between CHAR and STRING_ov4
A CHAR becomes a one-character STRING in &, comparisons, assignment, parameter passing and RETURN. A STRING becomes a CHAR in assignment, parameter passing and RETURN, with a runtime error when its length is not 1. CHAR with INTEGER or BOOLEAN still does not convert. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-22feat(codegen)!: require explicit REAL to INTEGER conversion and add INT_ov4
Implicit REAL to INTEGER is now a compile error with an INT(...) hint. INT is a compiler builtin that truncates toward zero and raises a runtime error for NaN or values outside the INTEGER range. No existing test program relied on the implicit conversion. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-22feat(codegen)!: reject implicit BOOLEAN, CHAR and INTEGER mixing_ov4
Arithmetic and unary minus accept only INTEGER and REAL, AND/OR/NOT need BOOLEAN, comparisons need equal types (or INTEGER with REAL), and only INTEGER converts implicitly to REAL. Use ASC and CHR for characters. No existing test program relied on the now-illegal mixing, so none changed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-21docs: document TEMPLATE_ov4
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

2026-10-16fix(compiler): correct CIE semantics and diagnostic locations_ov4
Use standard WHILE headers and default-public class fields, resolve pseudocode identifiers without case sensitivity, and check signed i64 literal boundaries before conversion. Preserve source locations across recursive emission and function diagnostics. Add 22 regression cases and update compiler examples and documentation. Validated all 69 CTest entries with the original Linux Actions seed and verified the release package's embedded, native and IR output paths.

2026-10-15fix(codegen): restore runtime diagnostics before throwing_ov4
Reuse historical runtime messages and source-line reporting for arithmetic, array, enum, pointer and file checks while preserving anonymous exceptions. Update the manuals and subsystem guidance to describe diagnostic output. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add the TRY manual for CATCH, ENDTRY, and anonymous THROW. Update runtime error descriptions, language links, and native linking examples; document catch cleanup and embedded runtime integration in the architecture notes. Verify manual generation, rendered output, relative links, and the TRY example. Record Linux LLVM 18 validation and unverified Windows/macOS support.
