2026-10-28docs(overload): document default return selection_ov4
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>
2026-10-23fix(stdlib): reject NaN, infinity and hexadecimal text in IS_NUM, STR_TO_NUM ↵_ov4
and INPUT Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-23feat(stdlib): add a CHAR overload of STR_TO_NUM_ov4
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-23fix(stdlib)!: return CHAR from CHR_ov4
BREAKING CHANGE: CHR now returns CHAR instead of STRING, so user overloads and templates select or deduce CHAR for CHR(...). 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(output)!: print REAL values in shortest round-trip form_ov4
OUTPUT and NUM_TO_STR now share Python repr formatting instead of %f. BREAKING CHANGE: REAL output changes from six fixed decimals (2.500000) to the shortest round-trip text (2.5). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-22fix(stdlib): make IS_NUM agree with STR_TO_NUM and explain conversion errors_ov4
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-20docs(strings): document the embedded standard library and STRING values_ov4
Describe -no-std, C_STRING literals, library function semantics and owning string lifetimes in the manuals and contributor guidance. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-20docs(man): correct class lifetime and allocation support_ov4
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-17feat(runtime): write runtime diagnostics to stderr_ov4
Runtime check messages and the unhandled-exception message were printed to stdout by the generated program, so `cpsc x.cps -r >out.txt` captured them. They are now formatted with snprintf and written with write(2). Test expectations and docs are updated accordingly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-17docs(classes): document destructors, DELETE and RAII_ov4
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-17feat(memory): add checked REALLOC with failure preservation_ov4
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
2026-10-17feat(memory): add tracked MALLOC and FREE builtins_ov4
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <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.
2026-10-13docs(language): document exception handling and runtime behavior_ov4
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.

2026-10-13Keep man prose paragraphs on one line and document authoring rules_ov4
